arXiv:2607. 20046v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: With the widespread deployment of deep neural networks (DNNs) in safety-critical domains, reducing the cost of model validation under limited testing budgets has become increasingly important.
arXiv:2609.39934v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Checkpoint selection in domain generalization often relies on source-validation accuracy, yet the selected checkpoint need not provide reliable proba...
arXiv:2609.36569v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Checkpoint selection is a routine decision in supervised fine-tuning (SFT): training produces multiple checkpoints, but only one is retained. Yet fix...
arXiv:2608.27704v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: When machine learning classifiers are retrained, inputs correctly classified by the previous model version may be misclassified by the updated version,...
Existing methods for testing deep neural networks (DNNs) primarily prioritize test inputs likely to reveal model faults under a fixed labeling budget. In practice, choosing that budget is difficult: too little testing misses failures, while too much incurs unnecessary labeling costs.

arXiv:2506. 14126v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Modern deep learning is increasingly characterized by the use of open-weight foundation models that can be fine-tuned on specialized datasets.
arXiv:2606. 04314v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As neural networks are increasingly deployed in safety-critical domains, testing is essential to evaluate and improve their reliability.
arXiv:2609.37169v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Mid-training equips pretrained large language models with specialized and reasoning capabilities, but the returns of this stage are bounded since add...
arXiv:2606. 26492v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deep Learning (DL) programs can fail during training for many reasons, and diagnosing the cause is a costly and time-consuming maintenance task.
arXiv:2606. 04310v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are increasingly being deployed in security-critical and safety-sensitive applications, which makes rigorous testing essential to identify and mitigate model weaknesses.
arXiv:2602. 09689v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Fine-tuning large pre-trained models on a target distribution often improves in-distribution (ID) accuracy, but at the cost of out-of-distribution (OOD) robustness as representations specialize to the fine-tuning data.
arXiv:2608. 09768v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A prediction that is both confident and wrong is a critical reliability failure because it can bypass abstention and human review precisely when the model is mistaken.
