arXiv:2606. 04009v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Two-sample testing is a fundamental tool for detecting distributional differences across scientific domains, but classical tests (including kernel-based tests) can be ineffective on high-dimensional structured data such as images.

ALICE is a foundation model that estimates mutual information (MI) without per‑distribution training. Trained only on synthetic distributions, it acts as an in‑context estimator of rectified‑flow velocity fields, producing MI via a fixed identity that integrates squared differences between joint and conditional fields. The authors validate ALICE on a challenging benchmark and demonstrate its applicability to unseen data in biology, genetics, and neuroscience, achieving performance comparable to neural estimators trained separately for each distribution.

The paper introduces UnInfo, a test‑time adaptation method for vision‑language models like CLIP that addresses image corruption—a realistic distribution shift caused by sensor conditions. UnInfo leverages uniformity‑aware confidence maximization, information‑aware loss balancing, and knowledge distillation from an EMA teacher to preserve embedding uniformity and improve zero‑shot classification accuracy. Experiments show that UnInfo outperforms existing TTA methods on corrupted image datasets.
