arXiv:2606.05242v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Stochastic-gradient Langevin algorithms often use tamed denominators to stabilize non-globally Lipschitz drifts. This paper shows that when the denominator depends on the same stochastic-gradient realization as the numerator, the taming step changes the stochastic oracle itself and can create a stationary bias even if the original stochastic gradient is unbiased. We propose a structure-preserving framework for designing tamed denominators. It fixes the denominator before the oracle noise is sampled and uses localized deterministic […]

arXiv:2603.03457v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Over the last two decades, research funders have adopted Open Access (OA) mandates, with various forms and success. While some funders emphasize gold OA through article processing charges, others favour green OA and repositories, leading to a fragmented policy landscape. Compliance with these mandates depends on several factors, including disciplinary field, monitoring, and availability of repository infrastructure. Based on 5 million papers supported by 36 funders from 20 countries, 11 million papers funded […]

Motivation: Pathway enrichment analysis is widely used to interpret gene expression data. Standard approaches, such as GSEA, rely on predefined phenotypic labels and pairwise comparisons, which limits their applicability in unsupervised settings. Existing unsupervised extensions, including single-sample methods, provide pathway-level summaries but primarily capture linear relationships and do not explicitly model gene-pathway associations. More recently, deep learning models have been explored to capture non-linear transcriptomic structure. However, their interpretation has typically relied on generic explainable AI (XAI) techniques […]

arXiv:2603.16279v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This article presents a solution to intercept an agile drone by another agile drone carrying a catching net. We formulate the interception as a Competitive Reinforcement Learning problem, where the interceptor and the target drone are controlled by separate policies trained with Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO). We introduce a high-fidelity simulation environment that integrates a realistic quadrotor dynamics model and a low-level control architecture implemented in JAX, which allows for fast parallelized execution […]

The life of a prescription at Amazon Pharmacy From pricing estimation and regulatory compliance to inventory management and chatbot assistants, machine learning models help Amazon Pharmacy customers stay healthy and save time and money. Conversational AI Alexandre Alves Anita Vila September 30, 01:32 PM October 02, 11:42 AM Pharmacies play a vital role in ensuring patients health, but the process of dispensing medications is far more complex than it may appear. At Amazon Pharmacy, we are using artificial […]

arXiv:2603.22644v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We consider a PAC-Bayes type learning rule for binary classification, balancing the training error of a randomized ”posterior” predictor with its KL divergence to a pre-specified ”prior”. This can be seen as an extension of a modified two-part-code Minimum Description Length (MDL) learning rule, to continuous priors and randomized predictions. With a balancing parameter of $lambda=1$ this learning rule recovers an (empirical) Bayes posterior and a modified variant recovers the profile posterior, linking […]

arXiv:2601.00023v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Efficient workload assignment to the workforce is critical in last-mile package delivery systems. In this context, traditional methods of assigning package deliveries to workers based on geographical proximity can be inefficient and surely guide to an unbalanced workload distribution among delivery workers. In this paper, we look at the problem of operational human resources workload balancing in last-mile urban package delivery systems. The idea is to consider the effort workload to optimize the […]

arXiv:2603.24837v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) face critical challenges when analyzing security vulnerabilities in real world codebases: token limits prevent loading entire repositories, code embeddings fail to capture inter procedural data flows, and LLMs struggle to generate complex static analysis queries. These limitations force existing approaches to operate on isolated code snippets, missing vulnerabilities that span multiple functions and files. We introduce codebadger, an open source Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that integrates Joern’s Code […]
