arXiv:2601. 22784v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We introduce a rank-statistic approximation of $f$-divergences that avoids explicit density-ratio estimation by working directly with the distribution of ranks.
arXiv:2608. 00701v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reweighting source samples to match a target covariate distribution is a standard response to distribution shift when generalizing evidence from one population to another.
arXiv:2608. 11162v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The Naive Bayes (NB) classifier remains a standard choice for categorical data, yet its widely used smoothing rules, such as Laplace, Lidstone, Krichevsky-Trofimov, and the $m$-estimate, all prescribe a fixed smoothing strength that ignores feature cardinality, sample size, and class imbalance, inducing a non-vanishing bias on modern high-cardinality tabular data.
arXiv:2607. 03487v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Mutual information (MI) estimation is a central problem in machine learning and statistics; however, existing benchmarks typically evaluate estimators on simplified, low-dimensional distributions, leaving their performance on complex, realistic data largely unexplored.
arXiv:2608. 10470v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Fair representation learning with a continuous sensitive attribute $S$ requires a representation $Z$ that is statistically independent of $S$.
arXiv:2511. 18945v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We propose a fully data-driven approach to designing mutual information (MI) estimators.
