arXiv:2608. 04652v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Image mixup is a widely adopted data augmentation strategy, yet it is ill-suited for ordinal classification tasks such as medical disease grading, where labels encode a progression of severity.

arXiv:2606. 24959v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Ordinal classification (OC) arises in high-stakes domains such as medicine and finance, where uncertainty quantification must account for the severity of ordinal errors.

arXiv:2607. 16802v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deep survival models are evaluated almost exclusively by the concordance index (C-index), yet they are commonly trained using likelihood objectives such as the Cox partial likelihood, discrete-time negative log-likelihood, and DeepHit likelihood.
