Beyond MSE: Improving Precipitation Nowcasting with Multi-Quantile Regression

arXiv:2605. 30122v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Deep-learning precipitation nowcasting models are often optimized using pointwise losses such as mean squared error or mean absolute error, which can lead to overly smooth forecasts and poor representation of heavy rainfall.

Non-Crossing Deep Quantile Regression for Distributional Survival Prediction

arXiv:2608. 16864v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In survival analysis the way covariates act on the risk of an event often differs between early and late failure times, yet hazard- and mean-based summaries collapse this variation into a single number.

Conditional Diffusion for Nonparametric Instrumental Variable Quantile Regression

arXiv:2608. 08204v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This work proposes deep nonparametric Instrumental variable quantile regression (IVQR), a two-stage estimator that combines conditional diffusion modeling with a kernel-smoothed conditional moment formulation.
