SeBA: Semi-supervised few-shot learning via Separated-at-Birth Alignment for tabular data

arXiv:2605. 08519v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Learning from scarce labeled data with a larger pool of unlabeled samples, known as semi-supervised few-shot learning (SS-FSL), remains critical for applications involving tabular data in domains like medicine, finance, and science.

A Compositional Theory of Curvature in Probabilistic Circuits

arXiv:2608. 12869v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Probabilistic Circuits (PCs) are generative models that support exact inference and, unlike deep neural networks, admit an exact and tractable measure of loss-surface curvature: the trace of the Hessian of the log-likelihood.

CW-BASS v2: Saturation-Aware Pseudo-Label Selection for Semi-Supervised Segmentation under Foundation-Model Teachers

arXiv:2608. 12773v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Semi-supervised semantic segmentation has long turned on one question, which pseudo-labels to trust, and a generation of selection rules, dynamic thresholds, per-class curricula, soft confidence weights, answered it for the noisy, under-confident ResNet teachers of their day.
