PARE combines structure-aware width pruning and timestep-conditioned adaptive depth routing to cut video diffusion compute while preserving generation quality.
Standard uniform diffusion training uses a leave-one-out posterior rather than the true denoising posterior, causing a parameterization-objective mismatch that new conversions, samplers, and an absorbing-state reformulation fix to match masked diffusion.
PEIRA introduces a non-contrastive self-supervised objective via linear regressor traces whose only stable equilibria recover canonical correlation subspaces, matching VICReg and LeJEPA performance.
Argus detects backdoor attacks in decentralized learning by having nodes share local trigger analyses with neighbors and filter updates via structural similarity, reducing attack success by up to 90 points without a central server.
STRABLE introduces 108 real-world string-and-number tables and benchmarks 445 pipelines, finding simple embeddings with advanced learners suffice for categorical tables while LLMs help on free-text tables.
MulTaBench benchmarks 40 multimodal tabular datasets and shows target-aware tuning of text and image embeddings improves predictive performance over frozen embeddings.
Sequential membership inference attacks exploit model update sequences and canary insertion timing to achieve tighter privacy audits with higher attack power than single-model baselines.
Differentially private wavelet estimators achieve near-minimax rates for smooth optimal transport maps in dimensions above one and minimax rates in one dimension, with matching lower bounds confirming optimality.
Cephalonauts One provides 30 hours per subject of whole-brain fMRI during naturalistic speech, paired with audio, transcripts, and embeddings, plus a brain decoding benchmark showing continuous performance gains with more training data.
FedForest proposes a federated random forest using aggregated statistics to approximate centralized splits under heterogeneous data, enabling personalized client-indicator splits with near-centralized accuracy and low communication cost.
Lumberjack improves differentially private random forests via heavy hitter pruning of deep trees, achieving state-of-the-art privacy-utility trade-offs.
Stochastic optimizers at the edge of stability converge to low-dimensional fractal attractors, and a sharpness-dimension generalization bound reveals that chaotic training depends on the full Hessian spectrum.
Iterative RLHF ignores policy influence on reward-model updates, causing alignment collapse via exploited blind spots; foresighted optimization restores this term to prevent collapse.
Causal inference framing of membership inference attacks defines memorization as training inclusion effects, reveals interference and distribution-shift biases, and yields reliable estimators without retraining.
Understanding diffusion models requires new theory since memorization and generalization are incompatible, so research should study what models learn before memorizing.
StereoTales reveals open-ended LLM generation emits shared harmful stereotypes that culturally adapt to prompt languages and align with human harmfulness ratings.
