Robust Trajectory Distillation: Hybrid Reweighting Meets Teacher-Inspired Targets
Dataset distillation (DD) condenses large corpora into compact, information-rich subsets for efficient training and reuse. However, under noisy supervision, DD …
Theory of Continual Learning Against Data Poisoning Attacks
Continual learning (CL), where a model is trained on a sequence of data tasks, is increasingly being adopted across key fields such as large language models and…
Bricker to BRACE: A Bracket Exposure RAW Dataset and Restoration Model for Flicker-Banding
Flicker-banding (FB), arises from temporal aliasing between a camera's rolling shutter and a display's brightness modulation, degrading screen-captured image re…
ARKD: Adaptive Reinforcement Learning-Guided Bidirectional KL Divergence Distillation for Text Generation
Knowledge distillation (KD) is a key technique for compressing Large Language Models (LLMs), yet methods relying on a single KL objective often fail to balance …
Decision-Value Attribution in Predict-then-Optimize Systems
Predictive models are increasingly embedded in operational decision-making, yet standard explanation methods typically explain forecasts rather than the decisio…
Exploiting Local Flatness for Efficient Out-of-Distribution Detection
Detecting out-of-distribution (OOD) data is crucial for reliable machine learning deployment. Among detection strategies, post-hoc methods are particularly attr…
SpreadsheetBench 2: Evaluating Agents on End-to-End Business Spreadsheet Workflows
