arXiv:2602.06136v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Test-time adaptation (TTA) offers a compelling remedy for machine learning (ML) models that degrade under domain shifts, improving generalisation on-the-fly with only unlabelled samples. This flexibility suits real deployments, yet conventional evaluations unrealistically assume unbounded processing time, overlooking the accuracy-latency trade-off. As ML increasingly underpins latency-sensitive and user-facing use-cases, temporal pressure constrains the viability of adaptable inference; predictions arriving too late to act on are futile. We introduce Tempora, a framework for evaluating […]

arXiv:2405.14741v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Ensemble learning is a popular technique to improve the accuracy of machine learning models. It traditionally hinges on the rationale that aggregating multiple weak models can lead to better models with lower variance and hence higher stability, especially for discontinuous base learners. In this paper, we provide a new perspective on ensembling. By selecting the most frequently generated model from the base learner when repeatedly applied to subsamples, we can attain exponentially decaying […]

arXiv:2603.06724v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Indoor air quality (IAQ) forecasting plays a critical role in safeguarding occupant health, ensuring thermal comfort, and supporting intelligent building control. However, predicting future concentrations of key pollutants such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) remains challenging due to the complex interplay between environmental factors and highly dynamic occupant behaviours. Traditional data driven models primarily rely on historical sensor trajectories and often fail to anticipate behaviour induced emission spikes or […]

Accurate delivery delay prediction is critical for maintaining operational efficiency and customer satisfaction across modern supply chains. Yet the increasing complexity of logistics networks, spanning multimodal transportation, cross-country routing, and pronounced regional variability, makes this prediction task inherently challenging. This paper introduces a multi-task deep learning model for delivery delay duration prediction in the presence of significant imbalanced data, where delayed shipments are rare but operationally consequential. The model embeds high-dimensional shipment features with dedicated embedding layers for […]

arXiv:2603.03318v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advances in Natural Language Processing have been predominantly driven by transformer-based architectures, which rely heavily on self-attention mechanisms to model relationships between tokens in a sequence. Similarly, the field of Quantum Natural Language Processing, which seeks to leverage quantum principles to address challenges in language understanding and generation tasks, has seen the recent development of quantum self-attention mechanisms. We propose a classical quantum-inspired self-attention (QISA) mechanism and integrate it into the full […]

arXiv:2601.20026v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) exhibit strong generative capabilities but remain vulnerable to confabulations, fluent yet unreliable outputs that vary arbitrarily even under identical prompts. Leveraging a quantum tensor network based pipeline, we propose a quantum physics inspired uncertainty quantification framework that accounts for aleatoric uncertainty in token sequence probability for semantic equivalence based clustering of LLM generations. This offers a principled and interpretable scheme for hallucination detection. We further introduce an entropy maximization […]

arXiv:2602.17678v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reproducible container builds promise a simple integrity check for software supply chains: rebuild an image from its Dockerfile and compare hashes. We build a Docker measurement pipeline and apply it to a stratified sample of 2,000 GitHub repositories that contained a Dockerfile. We found that only 56% produce any buildable image, and just 2.7% of those are bitwise reproducible without any infrastructure configurations. After modifying infrastructure configurations, we raise bitwise reproducibility by 18.6%, […]

arXiv:2511.12749v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Intermittent demand forecasting poses unique challenges due to sparse observations, cold-start items, and obsolescence. Classical models such as Croston, SBA, and the Teunter–Syntetos–Babai (TSB) method provide simple heuristics but lack a principled generative foundation. We introduce TSB-HB, a hierarchical Bayesian extension of TSB. Demand occurrence is modeled with a Beta–Binomial distribution, while nonzero demand sizes follow a Log-Normal distribution. Crucially, hierarchical priors enable partial pooling across items, stabilizing estimates for sparse or cold-start […]

arXiv:2603.26780v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Animal models, particularly rats, play a critical role in seizure research for studying epileptogenesis and treatment response. However, progress is limited by the lack of datasets with precise temporal annotations and standardized evaluation protocols. Existing animal behavior datasets often have limited accessibility, coarse labeling, and insufficient temporal localization of clinically meaningful events. To address these limitations, we introduce RatSeizure, the first publicly benchmark for fine-grained seizure behavior analysis. The dataset consists of recorded […]

MLOps A hands-on, beginner-friendly guide to deploying, monitoring, and optimizing a Machine Learning model in production — from API creation to data drift detection, using the real Home Credit Default Risk dataset from Kaggle. Last Saturday morning, I was scrolling through freelance gig postings on Fiverr when I stumbled upon something that caught my attention. A small fintech startup was looking for someone to “take our trained credit scoring model and make it production-ready — API, Docker, CI/CD, […]
