Escaping Iterative Parameter-Space Noise: Differentially Private Learning with a Hypernetwork

arXiv:2606. 26772v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Differentially private (DP) training of neural networks is often hindered by the large amount of noise required by gradient-based methods such as DP-SGD, which repeatedly inject high-dimensional noise in parameter space throughout training.

Cross-Head Attention Uplift Network with Inverse Propensity Score under Unobserved Confounding

Uplift modeling, crucial for estimating individual treatment effects (ITE), faces dual challenges: flexibly leveraging inter-group similarity to enhance discriminative power and debiasing under unobserved confounding scenarios. In this paper, we propose the Cross-Head Attention Uplift Network (CHAUN) and Robust Adversarial Inverse Propensity Score (RA-IPS) method to address these limitations.

Generative Retrieval via Diffusion Transformer with Metric-Ordered Sequence Training and Hybrid-Policy Preference Optimization

Embedding-based retrieval ranks items by their similarity to a query in a shared vector space and usually aims to return the highest-scoring items. In many production settings this is not what is wanted: given a seed set that expresses a fine-grained pattern, one needs more items that both satisfy a target attribute and stay within that pattern.

LCAi: Life Cycle Assessment with big data fusion and retrieval-augmented generation-assisted interpretation

The interpretation phase of life cycle assessment often lacks structured mechanisms for translating quantified improvement opportunities addressing environmental hotspots into actionable strategic pathways under technological, social, and policy uncertainty. To overcome this limitation, this study introduces a perspective-conditioned retrieval-augmented generation framework for LCA interpretation, where a multi-perspective retrieval and controlled synthesis is incorporated in the artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted LCA.

Structure Before Collapse: Transient semantic geometry in next-token prediction

Neural Collapse predicts that balanced one-hot classification pushes model representations to be equally far from each other; a symmetric configuration that depends only on the output label and ignores any semantic similarity in the inputs. This creates a puzzle: next-token prediction language models are trained predominantly (as context length increases) with one-hot labels: the same context is very unlikely to appear twice in training with different labels.

CauScale: Neural Causal Discovery at Scale

arXiv:2602. 08629v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Causal discovery is essential for advancing data-driven fields such as scientific AI and data analysis, yet existing approaches face significant time- and space-efficiency bottlenecks when scaling to large graphs.
