arXiv:2602.09240v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We consider the problem of parameter estimation from a generalized linear model with a random design matrix that is orthogonally invariant in law. Such a model allows the design have an arbitrary distribution of singular values and only assumes that its singular vectors are generic. It is a vast generalization of the i.i.d. Gaussian design typically considered in the theoretical literature, and is motivated by the fact that real data often have a […]

arXiv:2604.06231v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Database systems incorporate an ever-growing number of functions in their kernels (a.k.a., database native functions) for scenarios like new application support and business migration. This growth causes an urgent demand for automatic database native function synthesis. While recent advances in LLM-based code generation (e.g., Claude Code) show promise, they are too generic for database-specific development. They often hallucinate or overlook critical context because database function synthesis is inherently complex and error-prone, where synthesizing […]

arXiv:2602.18467v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This study explores the relationship between body composition metrics, self-compassion, and social support among college students. Using seasonal body composition data from the InBody770 system and psychometric measures from the Lived Experiences Measured Using Rings Study (LEMURS) (n=156; freshmen=66, sophomores=90), Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA) reveals body composition metrics exhibit moderate correlation with self-compassion and social support. Certain physiological and psychological features showed strong and consistent relationships with well-being across the academic year. Trunk […]

arXiv:2603.03333v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Speculative decoding accelerates large language model inference by proposing tokens with a lightweight draft model and selectively accepting them using a target model. This work introduces DropMatch, a novel approach that matches draft tokens to the predictive distribution of the target model via Monte Carlo dropout applied exclusively to the LM head, enabling sampling-based acceptance decisions. By generating multiple decoding paths, our method forms an empirical token distribution against which draft tokens are […]

In this paper, we address the problem of class-generalizable anomaly detection, where the objective is to develop a unified model by focusing our learning on the available normal data and a small amount of anomaly data in order to detect the completely unseen anomalies, also referred to as the out-of-distribution (OOD) classes. Adding to this challenge is the fact that the anomaly data is rare and costly to label. To achieve this, we propose a multidirectional meta-learning algorithm […]

arXiv:2602.06155v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diffusion models rely on a high-dimensional latent space of initial noise seeds, yet it remains unclear whether this space contains sufficient structure to predict properties of the generated samples, such as their classes. In this work, we investigate the emergence of latent structure through the lens of confidence scores assigned by a pre-trained classifier to generated samples. We show that while the latent space appears largely unstructured when considering all noise realizations, restricting […]

Recovering camera parameters from images and rendering scenes from novel viewpoints have long been treated as separate tasks in computer vision and graphics. This separation breaks down when image coverage is sparse or poses are ambiguous, since each task needs what the other produces. We propose Rays as Pixels, a Video Diffusion Model (VDM) that learns a joint distribution over videos and camera trajectories. We represent each camera as dense ray pixels (raxels) and denoise them jointly with […]

It’s nearly the end of 2025, and half of the US and the UK now require you to upload your ID or scan your face to watch “sexual content.” A handful of states and Australia now have various requirements to verify your age before you can create a social media account. Age-verification laws may sound straightforward to some: protect young people online by making everyone prove their age. But in reality, these mandates force users into one of […]

arXiv:2601.18829v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-channel time-series data, prevalent across diverse applications, is characterized by significant heterogeneity in its different channels. However, existing forecasting models are typically guided by channel-agnostic loss functions like MSE, which apply a uniform metric across all channels. This often leads to fail to capture channel-specific dynamics such as sharp fluctuations or trend shifts. To address this, we propose a Channel-wise Perceptual Loss (CP Loss). Its core idea is to learn a unique perceptual […]
