arXiv:2603.03452v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: High-definition (HD) maps are crucial for autonomous vehicles, but their creation and maintenance is very costly. This motivates the idea of online HD map construction. To provide a continuous large-scale stream of training data, existing HD maps can be used as labels for onboard sensor data from consumer vehicle fleets. However, compared to current, well curated HD map perception datasets, this fleet data suffers from localization errors, resulting in distorted map labels. We […]

This paper presents a meta-learning framework for credit risk assessment of Italian Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) that explicitly addresses the temporal misalignment of credit scoring models. The approach aligns financial statement reference dates with evaluation dates, mitigating bias arising from publication delays and asynchronous data sources. It is based on a two-step temporal decomposition that at first estimates annual probabilities of default (PDs) anchored to balance-sheet reference dates (December 31st) through a static model. Then it models […]

arXiv:2601.14351v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI Agents can perform complex operations at great speed, but just like all the humans we have ever hired, their intelligence remains fallible. Miscommunications aren’t noticed, systemic biases have no counter-action, and inner monologues are rarely written down. We did not come to fire them for their mistakes, but to hire them and provide a safe productive working environment. We posit that we can reuse a common corporate organizational structure: teams of independent […]

arXiv:2603.02673v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Functional ANOVA offers a principled framework for interpretability by decomposing a model’s prediction into main effects and higher-order interactions. For independent features, this decomposition is well-defined, strongly linked with SHAP values, and serves as a cornerstone of additive explainability. However, the lack of an explicit closed-form expression for general dependent distributions has forced practitioners to rely on costly sampling-based approximations. We completely resolve this limitation for categorical inputs. By bridging functional analysis with […]

arXiv:2603.03409v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This short note describes a simple variant of the Squint algorithm of Koolen and Van Erven [2015] for the classic expert problem. Via an equally simple modification of their proof, we prove that this variant ensures a regret bound that resembles the one shown in a recent work by Freund et al. [2026] for a variant of the NormalHedge algorithm [Chaudhuri et al., 2009].

Federated Learning (FL) enables a distributed client-server architecture where multiple clients collaboratively train a global Machine Learning (ML) model without sharing sensitive local data. However, FL often results in lower accuracy than traditional ML algorithms due to statistical heterogeneity across clients. Prior works attempt to address this by using model updates, such as loss and bias, from client models to select participants that can improve the global model’s accuracy. However, these updates neither accurately represent a client’s heterogeneity […]

I’ve been learning web development as a hobby using Claude, decided to test it and ended up making a marketplace for robot control policies and RL agents: actimod.com The idea is simple: a place where people can list locomotion policies, manipulation stacks, sim2real pipelines — and where people deploying robots can find or commission what they need. I know demand is basically zero right now, the space is still early but this felt like an interesting field to […]

arXiv:2601.01097v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent works have demonstrated promising performances of neural networks on hyperbolic spaces and symmetric positive definite (SPD) manifolds. These spaces belong to a family of Riemannian manifolds referred to as symmetric spaces of noncompact type. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for developing neural networks on such spaces. Our approach relies on a unified formulation of the distance from a point to a hyperplane on the considered spaces. We show that […]
