Privacy-Robust Incrementality Measurement for Advertising Systems under Signal Loss

arXiv:2606. 03878v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Advertising platforms use randomized lift tests to measure incrementality, but privacy-preserving reporting systems degrade the observed signal through match-rate loss, linkability loss, attribution-window loss, aggregation-threshold suppression, randomized reporting noise, and segment-heterogeneous signal loss.

Correcting Neural Operator Spectral Bias via Diffusion Posterior Sampling with Sparse Observations

arXiv:2606. 03936v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Neural operator surrogates (NO) approximate PDE solutions orders of magnitude faster than numerical solvers, but suffer from spectral bias: high-frequency content is systematically attenuated, limiting reliability where fine-scale structure matters.

When Should the Teacher Move? Temporal Coupling and Stability in Self On-Policy Distillation

arXiv:2606. 03532v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Self on-policy distillation trains a student policy against a teacher derived from its own parameter history, yet the teacher's update schedule -- which governs the \emph{temporal coupling} between teacher and student -- has not been systematically studied as a stability variable.
