arXiv:2510.07088v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Fourier analysis on the Boolean hypercube is fundamentally defined as the orthogonal decomposition of the space of pseudo-Boolean functions with respect to the uniform probability measure. In this work, we propose an ANOVA-based generalization of the Fourier decomposition on the Boolean hypercube endowed with any arbitrary probability measure. We provide an emph{explicit} decomposition basis which generalizes the Walsh-Hadamard (or parity functions) basis under any emph{arbitrary} probability measure on the Boolean hypercube. We formulate […]

arXiv:2601.15475v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Novel view synthesis from low dynamic range (LDR) blurry images, which are common in the wild, struggles to recover high dynamic range (HDR) and sharp 3D representations in extreme lighting conditions. Although existing methods employ event data to address this issue, they ignore the sensor-physics mismatches between the camera output and physical world radiance, resulting in suboptimal HDR and deblurring results. To cope with this problem, we propose a unified sensor-physics grounded NeRF […]

Uncertainty estimation in machine learning has traditionally focused on the prediction stage, aiming to quantify confidence in model outputs while treating learned representations as deterministic and reliable by default. In this work, we challenge this implicit assumption and argue that reliability should be regarded as a first-class property of learned representations themselves. We propose a principled framework for reliable representation learning that explicitly models representation-level uncertainty and leverages structural constraints as inductive biases to regularize the space of […]

arXiv:2602.23397v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The convergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) inference pipelines with cloud infrastructure creates a dual attack surface where cloud security standards and AI governance frameworks intersect without unified enforcement mechanisms. AI governance, cloud security, and industrial control system standards intersect without unified enforcement, leaving hybrid deployments exposed to cross-layer attacks that threaten safety-critical operations. This paper makes three primary contributions: (i) we synthesize these frameworks into a lifecycle-staged threat taxonomy structured around explicit attacker […]

We investigate additive skip fusion in U-Net architectures for image denoising and denoising-centric multi-task learning (MTL). By replacing concatenative skips with gated additive fusion, the proposed Additive U-Net (AddUNet) constrains shortcut capacity while preserving fixed feature dimensionality across depth. This structural regularization induces controlled encoder-decoder information flow and stabilizes joint optimization. Across single-task denoising and joint denoising-classification settings, AddUNet achieves competitive reconstruction performance with improved training stability. In MTL, learned skip weights exhibit systematic task-aware redistribution: shallow skips […]

arXiv:2602.17669v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Text-based conversational agents (CAs) are increasingly used in mental health, yet evaluation practices remain fragmented. We conducted a PRISMA-guided systematic review (May-June 2024) across ACM Digital Library, Scopus, and PsycINFO. From 613 records, 132 studies were included, with dual-coder extraction achieving substantial agreement (Cohen’s kappa = 0.77-0.92). We synthesized evaluation approaches across three dimensions: metrics, methods, and usage contexts. Metrics were classified into CA-centric attributes (e.g., reliability, safety, empathy) and user-centric outcomes (experience, […]

arXiv:2601.21057v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The recent success of deep learning (DL) has enabled the generation of high-quality synthetic gaze data. However, such data also raises privacy concerns because gaze sequences can encode subjects’ internal states, like fatigue, emotional load, or stress. Ideally, synthetic gaze should preserve the signal quality of real recordings and remove or attenuate state-related, privacy-sensitive attributes. Many recent DL-based generative models focus on replicating real gaze trajectories and do not explicitly consider subjective reports […]

Text-attributed graph node classification is still a challenge since it needs to reason about the topology structure simultaneously with the free-text semantics. Although graph neural network can perform well on structural propagation,they tend to be blind for the details in the text associated with nodes. On the other hand, LLMs have excellent NLU skills and are weak on structured,multi-hop reasoning over network agents.To address the above gap, in this work we propose FinSCRA, a novel LLM-powered multi-chain reasoning […]

Lately, NeurIPS and ICLR are flooded with these LLM benchmarking papers. All they do is take a problem X and benchmark a bunch of propriety LLMs on this problem. My main question is these proprietary LLMs are updated almost every month. The previous models are deprecated and are sometimes no longer available. By the time these papers are published, the models they benchmark on are already dead. So, what is the point of such papers? Are these big […]
