A Unified Algebraic Framework for Classification Performance Evaluation

arXiv:2607. 04028v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We propose a unified algebraic framework for classification performance evaluation that encompasses binary, multiclass, multilabel, ordinal, hierarchical, cost-sensitive, and soft-label settings within a single formalism.

Multi-Class vs. Multi-Label BERT for CVE-to-CWE Mapping: How Taxonomy Structure Shapes the Errors

Assigning Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) categories to Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) records remains an important but largely manual step in vulnerability analysis. We study this task as a text classification problem and compare two modelling choices: a \emph{multi-class} formulation that predicts a single CWE per CVE and a \emph{multi-label} formulation that allows multiple assignments.

Similarity-Distance-Magnitude Activations

arXiv:2509. 12760v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We introduce the Similarity-Distance-Magnitude (SDM) activation function, a more robust and interpretable formulation of the standard softmax activation function, adding Similarity (i.

Linear-Core Surrogates: Smooth Loss Functions with Linear Rates for Classification and Structured Prediction

arXiv:2604. 27742v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: A fundamental dichotomy in the theory of classification sets smoothness against statistical efficiency: smooth surrogate losses such as the logistic loss enable fast $O(1/T)$ optimization but yield slow square-root $H$-consistency bounds, while piecewise-linear losses like the Hinge loss achieve optimal linear $H$-consistency rates but are non-differentiable.
