arXiv:2603.24821v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: State-of-the-art crowd counting and localization are primarily modeled using two paradigms: density maps and point regression. Given the field’s security ramifications, there is active interest in model robustness against adversarial attacks. Recent studies have demonstrated transferability across density-map-based approaches via adversarial patches, but cross-paradigm attacks (i.e., across both density map-based models and point regression-based models) remain unexplored. We introduce a novel adversarial framework that compromises both density map and point regression architectural paradigms […]

Graphs are ubiquitous, and learning on graphs has become a cornerstone in artificial intelligence and data mining communities. Unlike pixel grids in images or sequential structures in language, graphs exhibit a typical non-Euclidean structure with complex interactions among the objects. This paper argues that Riemannian geometry provides a principled and necessary foundation for graph representation learning, and that Riemannian graph learning should be viewed as a unifying paradigm rather than a collection of isolated techniques. While recent studies […]

This is a very premature and early proof of concept. But I figured I would show it because this is how I imagine the future of OOD autnomous driving to be solved, albeit with a lot more complexity and engineering. While this is still IID training, and not an OOD task, the concept still works in OOD tasks. Model was trained on racetrack oval, racetrack, and racetrack large. Conv3D encoder. Some intrinsic motivation magic. And uhh… PPO. 5120 […]

arXiv:2402.15127v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We introduce a novel extension of the canonical multi-armed bandit problem that incorporates an additional strategic innovation: abstention. In this enhanced framework, the agent is not only tasked with selecting an arm at each time step, but also has the option to abstain from accepting the stochastic instantaneous reward before observing it. When opting for abstention, the agent either suffers a fixed regret or gains a guaranteed reward. This added layer of complexity […]

arXiv:2603.15709v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Decision-making in real applications is often affected by vagueness, incomplete information, heterogeneous data, and conflicting expert opinions. This survey reviews uncertainty-aware multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) and organizes the field into a concise, task-oriented taxonomy. We summarize problem-level settings (discrete, group/consensus, dynamic, multi-stage, multi-level, multiagent, and multi-scenario), weight elicitation (subjective and objective schemes under fuzzy/linguistic inputs), and inter-criteria structure and causality modelling. For solution procedures, we contrast compensatory scoring methods, distance-to-reference and compromise approaches, and […]

Early detection of malignant skin lesions is critical for improving patient outcomes in aggressive, metastatic skin cancers. This study evaluates a comprehensive system for preliminary skin lesion assessment that combines the clinically established ABCD rule of dermoscopy (analyzing Asymmetry, Borders, Color, and Dermoscopic Structures) with machine learning classification. Using a 1,000-image subset of the HAM10000 dataset, the system implements an automated, rule-based pipeline to compute a Total Dermoscopy Score (TDS) for each lesion. This handcrafted approach is compared […]

Tool learning is increasingly important for large language models (LLMs) to effectively coordinate and utilize a diverse set of tools in order to solve complex real-world tasks. By selecting and integrating appropriate tools, LLMs extend their capabilities beyond pure language understanding to perform specialized functions. However, existing methods for tool selection often focus on limited tool sets and struggle to generalize to novel tools encountered in practical deployments. To address these challenges, we introduce a comprehensive dataset spanning […]
