arXiv:2606. 01566v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Small-to-medium scientific datasets place machine learning pipelines under two compounding pressures.

arXiv:2606. 21641v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have been proposed as hyperparameter-optimization (HPO) advisors that "warm-start" search from prior knowledge, proposing strong configurations in very few evaluations.

arXiv:2608. 02305v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Active feature acquisition (AFA) asks which unobserved feature to measure next for each test instance under a budget.
By Jiaorong Feng, Qian Li, Ying Li
Agentic systems have widened the gap between producing candidate outputs and reviewing them. This paper asks a practical architectural question: should domain specialization be built into an evaluator's weights, or into the rule that decides when its judgment can be trusted?
arXiv:2606. 00862v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Surrogate-assisted evolutionary algorithms (SAEAs) have been widely used for expensive black-box optimization problems.

arXiv:2607. 01366v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Federated learning (FL) research often depends on many small but consequential algorithmic choices: optimizer variants, server aggregation rules, local training schedules, normalization, regularization, and model architecture.

arXiv:2608. 15725v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Predictive models in clinical and regulated settings must be accurate and fully auditable.

arXiv:2608. 14866v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Objective: Small-sample molecular classification requires feature selectors that identify predictive, stable, and nonredundant subsets for binary and multiclass outcomes.

arXiv:2606. 04161v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Different predictors often excel on different inputs, so picking the best one per instance promises higher accuracy than committing to a single model.

arXiv:2510. 06048v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Effective data selection is essential for pretraining large language models (LLMs), enhancing efficiency and improving generalization to downstream tasks.

arXiv:2602. 19502v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Agentic AI systems are increasingly capable of autonomous data science workflows, yet clinical prediction tasks demand domain expertise that purely automated approaches struggle to provide.

arXiv:2607. 00127v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Survival analysis models time-to-event data, but in clinical settings training data are costly and scarce: events accrue over years of follow-up, cohorts are small, and privacy regulations restrict sharing across institutions.
