arXiv:2608. 14186v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Tabular anomaly detection is dominated by classical density-proxy methods (Isolation Forest, OCSVM, LOF), reconstruction-based detectors (Autoencoders, VAEs), and modern non-parametric scorers (COPOD, ECOD, Deep SVDD), all of which approximate the inlier distribution only indirectly; explicit energy-based models are largely absent.

arXiv:2608. 14277v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: On-policy distillation (OPD) offers a promising way to transfer reasoning capabilities from stronger teacher models, but applying it to long-context reasoning teachers and short-context students introduces practical challenges, including tokenizer mismatch, teacher-student distribution mismatch, response length explosion, and training instability.
