arXiv:2602. 17894v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Data collection is a critical component of modern statistical and machine learning pipelines, particularly when data must be gathered from multiple heterogeneous sources to study a target population of interest.

arXiv:2606. 00563v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Selection bias is a common and often unavoidable aspect of real-world data that challenges the generalizability of machine learning models.

arXiv:2510. 16882v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Supervised fine-tuning (SFT) is a commonly used technique to adapt large language models (LLMs) to downstream tasks.

arXiv:2606. 03305v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Benchmark contamination, where evaluation examples appear in a model's training data, threatens the validity of LLM assessment.

arXiv:2604. 11305v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Conformal selection (CS) uses calibration data to identify test inputs whose unobserved outcomes are likely to satisfy a pre-specified minimal quality requirement, while controlling the false discovery rate (FDR).

arXiv:2510. 16657v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Synthetic data has been increasingly used to train frontier generative models.

arXiv:2607. 14157v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Retrieval over corpora that mix several domains often returns relevant but wrong-domain evidence that ranking metrics miss and that conformal risk control bounds only marginally, under-covering the worst domains.

arXiv:2607. 20787v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: For two decades, the standard remedy for class-imbalanced learning has been to fabricate synthetic minority examples, and the standard evidence of their validity has been a check that cannot fail: synthetic points are scored against the very data that generated them.

arXiv:2603. 15158v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Addressing the domain adaptation problem becomes more challenging when distribution shifts across domains stem from latent confounders that affect both covariates and outcomes.

arXiv:2606. 15216v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diversity plays a critical role in data selection, improving performance under fixed data budgets by reducing redundancy and repetition.

arXiv:2606. 08460v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Data-adaptive two-sample testing assesses if two samples come from the same distribution, using a discrepancy learned from the data (e.

arXiv:2607. 08122v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Workload-based differentially private (DP) synthetic data methods privately measure aggregate queries and post-process the noisy answers into synthetic records.
