Residual-Based Causal Discovery via Pretrained In-Context Quantile Regression

Residual-Based Causal Discovery via Pretrained In-Context Quantile Regression proposes Loscar, an extension of the RESIT framework to location-scale noise models (LSNMs). Loscar estimates conditional mean and scale using quantile regression, allowing pretrained tabular foundation models to serve as plug‑in estimators. Experiments on bivariate and multivariate causal‑discovery benchmarks show that in‑context quantile regression outperforms a feasible generalized least squares (FGLS) variant, especially when causes are multivariate.

GBFRVFL: Granular-Ball Computing-Based Fuzzy Random Vector Functional Link Network

The paper introduces GBFRVFL, a fuzzy granular-ball random vector functional link network designed to improve robustness in noisy, imbalanced, or uncertain data settings. It employs granular-ball computing to group raw samples into adaptive balls and proposes two membership assignment schemes: F-GBRVFL, which uses fuzzy membership to gauge ball reliability, and SDAP-GBRVFL, which introduces a statistical density‑adaptive Pythagorean membership that adjusts based on class variance, local sparsity, and ball compactness. Experiments on 37 UCI and KEEL datasets show that these models outperform baseline methods in both clean and noisy conditions, achieving higher accuracy and stability.
