arXiv:2604. 23904v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Synthetic tabular data are often evaluated by distributional similarity, privacy distance, or train-on-synthetic-test-on-real predictive performance, but these criteria do not ensure validity for causal inference.

arXiv:2608. 12805v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Access to clinical data is essential for developing reliable healthcare machine learning systems, but direct use of electronic health records is constrained by privacy regulation, institutional review, data-use agreements, and the risk of re-identification.

arXiv:2607. 26752v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Medical world models aim to learn a latent state of patient or organ physiology and a transition function that forecasts how that state evolves under interventions, supporting downstream tasks from imaging-based diagnosis to digital-twin treatment planning.

arXiv:2608. 05243v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Factorized generative models commonly regularize a latent style variable z_s by matching its marginal distribution to a fixed Gaussian prior and interpret this as evidence that the style representation is independent of class information.

The paper introduces SynthSentry, a model‑agnostic method for detecting synthetic data contamination in language‑model training corpora. It computes a distributional divergence score based on lexical diversity collapse, n‑gram tail truncation, and perplexity variance across reference models, requiring no access to the generating model or synthetic labels. Experiments on English corpora contaminated by small open‑weight generators and an instruction‑tuned model show that SynthSentry ranks contamination severity accurately, maintains low false‑positive rates after calibration, and does not degrade downstream fine‑tuning performance at the tested scale.

arXiv:2607. 18088v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Standard evaluation of many recognition systems contains distribution shift by construction, since benchmarks place disjoint conditions in the training and test splits.
