Random splitting can yield non-independent train--test subsets when a dataset contains related samples, as is common in certain applications such as biochemical studies. This leads to overly optimistic generalization estimates. Here, we introduce ReLaG, a modality-agnostic framework that models sample relatedness through a hierarchical latent-variable process and infers groups of related samples using proximity graphs and community detection to produce independent train--test subsets. Across molecular and protein datasets, ReLaG matches existing relation-aware methods while scaling substantially better, enabling splits at previously impractical dataset sizes. We further introduce a label-free procedure that adapts the splitting resolution to production data, aligning evaluation with the intended deployment setting. ReLaG's inferred groups provide a cheap estimate of effective dataset size, enabling diversity-aware dataset scaling. ReLaG is open source and can be installed with pip install relag.
The results indicate that software engineering work practices are chosen opportunistically, adapted and configured to provide value under the constrains imposed by the startup context.

The possibility of inferring high-dimensional data inference in a model that consists of a prior and an auxiliary differentiable constraint given some additional information is considered, thereby allowing a range of potential applications in adapting models to new domains and tasks.

It is proved that any global minimizer of the trajectory balance objective can define a policy that samples exactly from the target distribution, and empirically demonstrate the benefits of the trajectories balance objective for GFlowNet convergence, diversity of generated samples, and robustness to long action sequenc...

This state-of-practice investigation was performed using a literature review followed by a multiple-case study approach and presents how inconsistency between managerial strategies and execution can lead to failure by means of a behavioral framework.

This work investigates the possibilities of using LLMs in a resume screening setting via a document retrieval framework that simulates job candidate selection and finds that the MTEs are biased, significantly favoring White-associated names in 85% of cases and female-associated names in only 11.1% of cases.
Professor Sherry Turkle’s new book, “Artificial Intimacy,” offers a withering critique of chatbots and the antisocial dynamics she believes they encourage.
