Deep networks trained on noisy labels simultaneously generalize on clean data and memorize flipped labels. These are usually conflated as pressures on one capacity. We present Topo^2, a measurement fr...

arXiv:2606. 27855v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deep learning models for surface electromyography (sEMG) can benefit substantially from subject-specific (re-)calibration, since no sufficiently large and diverse datasets are available to train fully generic decoders.
arXiv:2605. 20282v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Machine unlearning in Vertical Federated Learning (VFL) has attracted growing interest, yet existing methods certify forgetting solely using output-level metrics.
The paper introduces Unmerge, an efficient machine unlearning algorithm that treats unlearning as the inverse of task arithmetic. By representing the forget component as a low‑rank basis at each layer, Unmerge optimizes three goals—matching the merged vector, suppressing leakage, and bounding correction size—to limit forget leakage and retain damage. Experiments on ResNet‑50, ViT‑S/16, and Llama‑3.2‑3B show significant performance gains over existing methods while maintaining privacy and feature‑distribution fidelity.

DISCERN is a class‑unlearning method that replaces real data with synthetic embeddings drawn from per‑class parametric distributions, selecting the best fit via statistical tests or cross‑validated likelihood. Unlike prototype replay, it models both Euclidean (Gaussian, Laplace, Student’s t) and directional (von Mises–Fisher, Fisher–Bingham) families to capture the latent geometry of transformer embeddings, which lie on a hypersphere. Experiments on MNIST, CIFAR‑10, and CIFAR‑100 with convolutional and transformer backbones show DISCERN performs competitively in simultaneous deletions and remains the most stable in incremental class unlearning, especially on ViT‑B/16 where it maintains a high harmonic mean after 20 sequential deletions.
Self-supervised pretraining has produced capable time-series foundation models, but its value for Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) has not been measured under leakage-controlled conditions. We...
