arXiv:2602.17846v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Diffusion models generate high-quality samples but can also memorize training data, raising serious privacy concerns. Understanding the mechanisms governing when memorization versus generalization occurs remains an active area of research. In particular, it is unclear where along the noise schedule memorization is induced, how data geometry influences it, and how phenomena at different noise scales interact. We introduce a geometric framework that partitions the noise schedule into three regimes based on the coverage […]

arXiv:2506.04626v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Motivated by real-world settings where data collection and policy deployment — whether for a single agent or across multiple agents — are costly, we study the problem of on-policy single-agent reinforcement learning (RL) and federated RL (FRL) with a focus on minimizing burn-in costs (the sample sizes needed to reach near-optimal regret) and policy switching or communication costs. In parallel finite-horizon episodic Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) with $S$ states and $A$ actions, existing […]

The Most Popular But Flawed OpenClaw Gets a High Security Replacement in OpenFang On November 25th, 2025, a developer named Peter Steinberger pushed an open-source project called Clawdbot to GitHub. By mid-March, it had spawned over twenty alternatives, triggered a Mac mini shortage in several U.S. cities, and earned its current name — OpenClaw — after two rapid rebrands driven by trademark disputes. That was not a product launch. :::info That was a detonation. ::: And yet, within […]

arXiv:2603.09532v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Bandits with noncompliance separate the learner’s recommendation from the treatment actually delivered, so the learning target itself must be chosen. A platform may care about recommendation welfare in the current mediated workflow, treatment learning for a future direct-control regime, or anytime-valid uncertainty for one of those targets. These objectives need not agree. We formalize this objective-choice problem, identify the direct-control regime in which recommendation and treatment objectives collapse, and show by example that […]

arXiv:2403.01673v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: For Multivariate Time Series Forecasting (MTSF), recent deep learning applications show that univariate models frequently outperform multivariate ones. To address the difficiency in multivariate models, we introduce a method to Construct Auxiliary Time Series (CATS) that functions like a 2D temporal-contextual attention mechanism, which generates Auxiliary Time Series (ATS) from Original Time Series (OTS) to effectively represent and incorporate inter-series relationships for forecasting. Key principles of ATS – continuity, sparsity, and variability – […]

arXiv:2604.18797v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Automatic pancreas segmentation is fundamental to abdominal MRI analysis, yet deep learning models trained on one MRI sequence often fail catastrophically when applied to another-a challenge that has received little systematic investigation. We introduce CrossPan, a multi-institutional benchmark comprising 1,386 3D scans across three routinely acquired sequences (T1-weighted, T2-weighted, and Out-of-Phase) from eight centers. Our experiments reveal three key findings. First, cross-sequence domain shifts are far more severe than cross-center variability: models achieving […]

The life of a prescription at Amazon Pharmacy From pricing estimation and regulatory compliance to inventory management and chatbot assistants, machine learning models help Amazon Pharmacy customers stay healthy and save time and money. Conversational AI Alexandre Alves Anita Vila September 30, 01:32 PM October 02, 11:42 AM Pharmacies play a vital role in ensuring patients health, but the process of dispensing medications is far more complex than it may appear. At Amazon Pharmacy, we are using artificial […]

Autonomous AI agents operating in high-stakes domains—financial trading, medical diagnostics, autonomous code execution—lack formal safety guarantees for their core operational loops, including memory management, tool invocations, and human interactions. Current verification approaches either fail to scale to neural components or ignore the structured control flow of agentic systems entirely. We introduce AgentVerify (Compositional Formal Verification of AI Agent Safety Properties via LTL Model Checking), a model checking framework that specifies and verifies safety properties for agent architectures using […]
