arXiv:2607. 26061v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Pre-match tactical decision-making in professional football relies heavily on subjective expert analysis and identity-based scouting systems that cannot generalize to unseen teams.

arXiv:2511. 04873v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Prototype selection methods compress a training set, but the existing taxonomy of condensation, edition, hybrid, competence-based, optimization-based, and clustering-based families does not include methods that operate on the multi-scale topological structure of the data.

arXiv:2505. 04346v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Clustering aims at partitioning data points into groups of similar objects without knowing about the class labels.

We introduce pVR, a topological machine learning framework for alignment-free genomic sequence classification that combines $p$-adic numbers with topological data analysis. Each DNA sequence is encoded along two complementary axes: a $p$-adic distance on $k$-mer prefixes, which captures hierarchical positional structure, and a compositional $L_1$ distance on $k$-mer frequencies, which captures local sequence content.
arXiv:2608. 02081v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this paper, we study prediction problems for paired comparison data, for example, predicting the win probability between two unmatched players and ranking all the players according to the order of their strengths by using win probability data between two matched players.

arXiv:2608. 03416v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are now regularly asked to forecast real-world events, but comparisons are often difficult because models receive different information, use different tools, and are evaluated under different rules.

arXiv:2602. 12080v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Despite recent advances in AI, event data collection in soccer still relies heavily on labor-intensive manual annotation.

arXiv:2607. 24573v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) increasingly support decisions about uncertain future events, yet evaluating their ability to forecast real-world outcomes remains difficult.

arXiv:2508. 08005v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The Maximum Clique Problem (MCP) is an NP-hard problem with wide-ranging applications in fields such as bioinformatics, network science, and social computing, yet no single algorithm consistently outperforms all others across diverse graph instances.

arXiv:2606. 11911v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Persistence diagrams are common representations in topological data analysis, but they do not naturally live in a vector space, and the statistical tools developed for comparing them have largely evolved separately from those used for downstream prediction.
