arXiv:2602. 06136v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Test-time adaptation (TTA) offers a compelling remedy for machine learning (ML) models that degrade under domain shifts, improving generalisation on-the-fly with only unlabelled samples.

arXiv:2608. 14425v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM evaluations often use fixed sampling budgets, testing every item the same number of times even after estimates are precise.

arXiv:2606. 24020v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A modern model release reports scores on 40+ benchmarks and the same evaluations were run many more times before it: to track training progress, compare design choices, and select the checkpoint for the release.

arXiv:2606. 15237v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Ensemble classifiers are predictive models that combine the results of simpler base models, often by majority vote.
By Joseph Kalman, Amit Moscovich
arXiv:2606. 04525v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Progress in genomic foundation models is difficult to assess due to fragmented benchmarks, incompatible evaluation protocols, and task-specific reporting.

arXiv:2606. 17660v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Fine-tuning large language models (LLMs) is compute-intensive and error-prone: model performance depends sensitively on data quality and hyperparameter choices, and na\"ive runs can even degrade model performance.

arXiv:2602. 15327v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Machine learning model performance improvements tend to arise from competition and application.

arXiv:2501. 10711v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Code-related benchmarks play a critical role in evaluating large language models (LLMs), yet their quality fundamentally shapes how the community interprets model capabilities.

arXiv:2606. 18993v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Testing conditional independence is fundamental yet intrinsically difficult: without additional assumptions, Type I error control is impossible in general.
By Zheng He, Danica J. Sutherland
arXiv:2605. 18852v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Selecting a final checkpoint for multimodal large language models (MLLMs) is challenging when late-stage candidates are closely matched and downstream evaluation signals are noisy.

arXiv:2607. 12227v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We revisit the evaluation of automatic harness evolution for LLM agents.

arXiv:2504. 04718v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent studies have demonstrated that test-time compute scaling effectively improves the performance of small language models (sLMs).
