We introduce xplainfi, an R package built on top of the mlr3 ecosystem for global, loss-based feature importance methods for machine learning models. Various feature importance methods exist in R, but significant gaps remain, particularly regarding conditional importance methods and associated statistical inference procedures. The package implements permutation feature importance, conditional feature importance, relative feature importance, leave-one-covariate-out, and generalizations thereof, and both marginal and conditional Shapley additive global importance methods. It provides a modular conditional sampling architecture based […]

arXiv:2405.19553v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We prove bounds on the variance of a function $f$ under the empirical measure of the samples obtained by the Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) algorithm, with time complexity depending on local rather than global Markov chain mixing dynamics. SMC is a Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method, which starts by drawing $N$ particles from a known distribution, and then, through a sequence of distributions, re-weights and re-samples the particles, at each instance applying […]

arXiv:2602.13263v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems often degrade on accented speech because acoustic-phonetic and prosodic shifts induce a mismatch to training data, making labeled accent adaptation costly. However, common pseudo-label selection heuristics are largely text-centric (e.g., perplexity (PPL) filtering) and can prefer fluent yet acoustically mismatched hypotheses, leading to error amplification when fine-tuning. To address this, we introduce a multimodal consistency-guided, reference-free data selection pipeline for ASR accent adaptation under a transductive, label-free protocol. […]

Zero-shot reasoning on text-rich networks (TRNs) remains a challenging frontier, as models must integrate textual semantics with relational structure without task-specific supervision. While graph neural networks rely on fixed label spaces and supervised objectives, recent large language model (LLM)-based approaches often overlook graph context or depend on distillation from larger models, limiting generalisation. We propose TRN-R1-Zero, a post-training framework for TRN reasoning trained solely via reinforcement learning. TRN-R1-Zero directly optimises base LLMs using a Neighbour-aware Group Relative Policy […]

arXiv:2603.20309v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) exhibit hallucinations in knowledge-intensive tasks. Graph-based retrieval augmented generation (RAG) has emerged as a promising solution, yet existing approaches suffer from fundamental recall and precision limitations when operating over black-box knowledge graphs — graphs whose schema and structure are unknown in advance. We identify three core challenges that cause recall loss (semantic instantiation uncertainty and structural path uncertainty) and precision loss (evidential comparison uncertainty). To address these challenges, we […]

arXiv:2601.12169v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deep learning and model predictive control (MPC) can play complementary roles in legged robotics. However, integrating learned models with online planning remains challenging. When dynamics are learned with neural networks, three key difficulties arise: (1) stiff transitions from contact events may be inherited from the data; (2) additional non-physical local nonsmoothness can occur; and (3) training datasets can induce non-Gaussian model errors due to rapid state changes. We address (1) and (2) by […]
