Team DACTYL at PAN 2026: Bayesian Data Mixing and Empirical X-risk Minimization for AI-text Detection

arXiv:2607. 17382v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Existing research shows that AI-generated text detection classifiers achieve strong in-distribution (ID) performance but do not maintain the same performance on out-of-distribution (OOD) texts, suggesting overfitting to dataset-specific features.

LLMs or Naive Bayes? Old Gems or New Ways

The paper compares Complement Naive Bayes (NB) with zero‑shot and few‑shot large language models (LLMs) across a wide range of model sizes and text classification tasks. NB outperforms LLMs when labeled data is available, achieving comparable accuracy to large LLMs while running thousands of samples per second on a CPU. In zero‑data sentiment settings, LLMs still dominate, but NB remains the best choice for resource‑constrained HPC practitioners, and the authors provide a Kubernetes Helm operator to automate model selection.

DS@GT ARC at ImageCLEFmedical 2026: Architectural Diversity for Concept Detection and Foundation-Model Scaling for Caption Prediction in Medical Image Analysis

We describe the DS@GT submissions to the ImageCLEFmedical Caption 2026 challenge, which continues a long-running benchmark on the ROCOv2 dataset with two tracks: Concept Detection (Task 1), assigning UMLS Concept Unique Identifiers (CUIs) to radiology images, and Caption Prediction (Task 2), generating natural-language captions. For Task 1, our primary submission was a three-way late-fusion ensemble of ConvNeXt-V2, BiomedCLIP ViT-B/16, and DenseNet-169 with a regularized ''Honest Threshold Tuning'' procedure designed to avoid validation overfitting on rare concepts; this submission ranked first on the official submission with a primary $F_1$ of $0.

SURGELLM: Rethinking Multi-Task Evaluation through Task-Aware Feature Gating with Class-Balanced Normalization

arXiv:2606. 24259v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Fine-tuned encoders deployed across heterogeneous NLP tasks face three compounding problems: mismatched inductive biases, class-imbalance corruption of feature statistics, and no mechanism to condition attention on external lexical knowledge.

Hierarchical Empirical-Bayes Naive Bayes: Minimax Smoothing and Calibration with AODE Extension

arXiv:2608. 11162v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The Naive Bayes (NB) classifier remains a standard choice for categorical data, yet its widely used smoothing rules, such as Laplace, Lidstone, Krichevsky-Trofimov, and the $m$-estimate, all prescribe a fixed smoothing strength that ignores feature cardinality, sample size, and class imbalance, inducing a non-vanishing bias on modern high-cardinality tabular data.

Generic Expert Coverage for Pruning SparseMixture-of-Experts Language Models

Sparsely activated Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language models contain substantial structured redundancy among routed experts, but pruning them without downstream calibration data remains challenging. Existing expert-pruning methods typically rely on a single aggregated importance score, which can bias the retained set toward experts favored by dominant calibration patterns.
