Instance-Level Costs for Nuanced Classifier Evaluation

arXiv:2605. 03135v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Standard classification treats all errors equally, but in applications such as content moderation and medical screening, mistakes on clear-cut cases are more costly than errors on ambiguous ones.

A Model for Imbalanced Label Aggregation: A Focus on Minority-Class Detection

arXiv:2607. 24622v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study imbalanced crowdsourcing with a focus on class-dependent annotator accuracy, a setting that, to the best of our knowledge, remains relatively underexplored despite its importance in real-world inspection systems where the labels of greatest operational importance are also the rarest ones.

A Model for Imbalanced Label Aggregation: A Focus on Minority-Class Detection

We study imbalanced crowdsourcing with a focus on class-dependent annotator accuracy, a setting that, to the best of our knowledge, remains relatively underexplored despite its importance in real-world inspection systems where the labels of greatest operational importance are also the rarest ones. In this setting, annotators may be reliable on both classes, unreliable on both classes, majority-class specialists, or minority-class specialists.

Cost-Sensitive Conformal Prediction and Human-in-the-Loop Abstention for Imbalanced High-Stakes Decision Support: A Multi-Domain Benchmark

arXiv:2607. 27143v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: High-stakes decision systems in credit scoring, fraud detection, healthcare, and industrial safety require reliable uncertainty quantification under severe class imbalance and asymmetric error costs.

Calibratable Disambiguation Loss for Multi-Instance Partial-Label Learning

arXiv:2512. 17788v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Multi-instance partial-label learning (MIPL) is a weakly supervised framework that extends the principles of multi-instance learning (MIL) and partial-label learning (PLL) to address the challenges of inexact supervision in both instance and label spaces.
