Spectrally Deconfounded Gradient Boosting

arXiv:2607. 09371v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Flexible machine-learning methods can be sensitive to hidden confounding: they may learn associations induced by unobserved confounders rather than stable signals.

Vertical Fusion: Condensing Internal Representations for Robust ViT Classification

arXiv:2607. 10391v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Despite exposing rich intermediate representations, Vision Transformers (ViTs) are almost exclusively utilized as black-box feature extractors, where only the last layer is considered for downstream tasks.
