arXiv:2602.00953v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Despite significant progress in computational pathology, many AI models remain black-box and difficult to interpret, posing a major barrier to clinical adoption due to limited transparency and explainability. This has motivated continued interest in engineered image-based biomarkers, which offer greater interpretability but are often proposed based on anecdotal evidence or fragmented prior literature rather than systematic biological validation. We introduce SAGE (Structured Agentic system for hypothesis Generation and Evaluation), an agentic AI system […]

arXiv:2601.15498v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Speculative Decoding (SD) accelerates autoregressive large language model (LLM) inference by decoupling generation and verification. While recent methods improve draft quality by tightly coupling the drafter with the target model, the verification mechanism itself remains largely unchanged, relying on strict token-level rejection sampling. In practice, modern LLMs frequently operate in low-margin regimes where the target model exhibits weak preference among top candidates. In such cases, rejecting plausible runner-up tokens yields negligible information gain […]

High-performance TSP solvers like LKH search within a sparsified candidate graph rather than over all possible edges. Graph sparsification is non-trivial: keep too many edges and the solver wastes time; cut too many and it loses edges that belong to the optimal tour. The two leading heuristic methods, $α$-Nearest and POPMUSIC, produce high-quality candidate graphs, but no single heuristic is both sparse and reliable across all instance sizes and distributions. Machine learning methods can potentially learn better sparsification […]

Understanding the minimal assumptions necessary for generalization is the fundamental question in learning theory. Unfortunately, most results rely heavily on independence (or some proxy thereof) of the data-generating process, while results for strongly dependent data are far more limited. Towards addressing this gap, we introduce the framework of simulatable processes, where the learner has access to a simulator that approximates the distribution generating the data (which may be an arbitrarily complex and dependent process). Surprisingly, given access to […]

arXiv:2603.06752v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) is widely used for data assimilation in high-dimensional systems, but its performance often deteriorates for strongly nonlinear dynamics due to the structural mismatch between the Kalman update and the underlying system behavior. In this work, we propose a latent autoencoder ensemble Kalman filter (LAE-EnKF) that addresses this limitation by reformulating the assimilation problem in a learned latent space with linear and stable dynamics. The proposed method learns a […]

Retinal diseases remain among the leading preventable causes of visual impairment worldwide. Automated screening based on fundus image analysis has the potential to expand access to early detection, particularly in underserved populations. This paper presents a reproducible deep learning pipeline for binary retinal disease risk classification from publicly available fundus photographs. We implement and compare a baseline convolutional neural network with a transfer learning approach using a pretrained VGG16 backbone and evaluate generalization on held-out data. To address […]

The Early Days of Infrastructure Operations Imagine you’re the person responsible for managing and maintaining the servers for a company’s website or application. This used to be a simple job, but with technological advancements, infrastructure management has become more complex. In the early days, system administrators often logged into servers manually via SSH (Secure Shell) to configure servers, install software, or solve problems. SSH: The Initial Solution SSH changed everything in the 1990s. Before SSH, people had to […]
