The paper demonstrates that tree tensor networks (TTNs) can encode arbitrary read‑once Boolean formulas, yielding polynomial‑size targets that are hard for gradient descent to learn in polynomial time, yet their loss landscapes are conditionally benign: every minimum‑norm local minimum is global. This shows that bad local minima are not the source of learning difficulty in TTNs; instead, high‑order degenerate saddle points caused by rank‑deficiency can impede learning. A case study on the parity function illustrates how TTNs can link landscape geometry to computational hardness.
QuadraSHAP is a method for computing ε-exact Shapley values in product games, where coalition values factor across players. It replaces the exponential coalition sum with a one-dimensional polynomial integral, using Gauss–Legendre quadrature to achieve exact values when ε = 0 and provides a computable error bound for ε > 0. The approach supports weighted sums of product games, enabling baseline and empirical interventional attribution for models such as log-link regression, Cox models, odds-scale classifiers, product-kernel machines, and tree-based models, and achieves logarithmic parallel time with efficient GPU evaluation even for hundreds of thousands of features.

MUGEN is a framework that generates unlearnable graph examples capable of protecting multiple downstream tasks—node classification, graph classification, and link prediction—simultaneously. It achieves this by perturbing a single clean dataset with a shared GNN encoder and task‑specific heads, guided by a Task‑Aligned Separability Objective (TASO) and a Type‑Adaptive Perturbation (TAP) that handles both discrete and continuous node attributes. Experiments on five benchmarks, four GNN backbones, and three learning paradigms show that MUGEN’s perturbations transfer across models and remain effective even under adversarial training and data augmentation.
