On Fibonacci Ensembles: An Alternative Approach to Ensemble Learning Inspired by the Timeless Architecture of the Golden Ratio

arXiv:2512. 22284v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Nature rarely reveals her secrets bluntly, yet in the Fibonacci sequence she grants us a glimpse of her quiet architecture of growth, harmony, and recursive stability \citep{Koshy2001Fibonacci, Livio2002GoldenRatio}.

RecKAN: Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks with a Learnable Recursive Polynomial Basis

RecKAN introduces a learnable recursive polynomial basis for Kolmogorov–Arnold Networks, replacing fixed bases like B-splines or Chebyshev polynomials. The basis is defined by a second‑order polynomial recurrence whose five coefficients are jointly learned with the network, enabling it to encompass classical families such as Chebyshev, Fibonacci, Pell, and Jacobsthal. Experiments across image, text, biomedical time‑series classification, and forecasting tasks show RecKAN outperforming parameter‑matched KAN baselines and achieving state‑of‑the‑art results on several benchmarks.

Optimal Recalibration of an Online Predictor

arXiv:2607. 19689v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study the problem of recalibrating an online predictor [KE17, OKS24]: given an arbitrary "hint" sequence of forecasts, the learner must output new predictions that are calibrated while incurring small excess error relative to the original forecasts, under a proper loss.

Large Language Models As Shannon Lossy Compressors Not Solomonoff Induction Estimators: The Singularity Is Not Near Without Symbolic Model Synthesis

The paper argues that Large Language Models (LLMs) do not function as Solomonoff induction estimators because their training objectives—cross‑entropy, negative log‑likelihood, and next‑token prediction—optimize fit to a supplied conditional distribution rather than a program‑weighted universal mixture. It further contends that additional computation alone does not transform these models into optimal predictors without external hyper‑parameter or architectural changes. The authors suggest that neurosymbolic machine learning, exemplified by models such as Fable and Astra, represents a shift toward symbolic model synthesis, moving beyond purely statistical LLMs.

On Solomonoff Induction in Large Language Models and the Limits of Self-Improving: The Singularity Is Not Near Without Symbolic Model Synthesis

arXiv:2601. 05280v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: On the one hand, the question of whether large language models (LLMs) are Solomonoff induction estimators has become an explicit question at the intersection of Algorithmic Information Theory (AIT) and Machine Learning (ML) of great interest.

TIGER: Time-Series Classification with In-Context-Learning Gated Ensemble of Representations

TIGER is a time‑series classification method that uses a small set of three generic classifiers applied to four different representation families, producing twelve base learners. The predictions are stacked into a meta‑feature matrix and an adaptive meta‑classifier—choosing between a weighted hard majority vote and the pretrained TabICLv2 model—selects the best rule per dataset based on training sample size. On a 142‑dataset UCR benchmark, TIGER achieves the highest mean accuracy, balanced accuracy, and F1‑score among six compared algorithms, outperforming each constituent method and demonstrating strong generalization with a single hyperparameter.
