Machine learning models are increasingly applied to biomedical data, yet their adoption in high stakes domains remains limited by poor robustness, limited interpretability, and instability of learned features under realistic data…
The Simplex Tree (ST) is a recently introduced data structure that can represent abstract simplicial complexes of any dimension and allows efficient implementation of a large range of basic operations on simplicial complexes. In this paper,…
Interpreting predictions from tree ensemble methods such as gradient boosting machines and random forests is important, yet feature attribution for trees is often heuristic and not individualized for each prediction. Here we show that…
We present CREST (Compact Retrieval-Based Speculative Decoding), a redesign of REST that allows it to be effectively "compacted". REST is a drafting technique for speculative decoding based on retrieving exact n-gram matches of the most…
This paper presents a new approach for the visualization and analysis of the spatial variability of features of interest represented by critical points in ensemble data. Our framework, called Persistence Atlas, enables the visualization of…
One-class classifiers are trained with target class only samples. Intuitively, their conservative modelling of the class description may benefit classical classification tasks where classes are difficult to separate due to overlapping and…
Log-structured merge (LSM) trees offer efficient ingestion by appending incoming data, and thus, are widely used as the storage layer of production NoSQL data stores. To enable competitive read performance, LSM-trees periodically…
The literature on concept formation has demonstrated that humans are capable of learning concepts incrementally, with a variety of attribute types, and in both supervised and unsupervised settings. Many models of concept formation focus on…
In this paper, we present a conceptually simple while empirically powerful framework for abstractive summarization, SimCLS, which can bridge the gap between the learning objective and evaluation metrics resulting from the currently…
The highly nonlinear regime of gravitational clustering is characterized by the presence of scale-invariant form of many-body correlation functions. Useful insights can be obtained by investigating the consequences of a generic scaling {\em…
The training of large multimodal models fundamentally relies on massive image-text datasets, which inevitably incur prohibitive computational overhead. Dataset selection offers a promising paradigm by identifying a highly informative…
Mixed-species growth models are needed as a synthesis of ecological knowledge and for guiding forest management. Individual-tree models have been commonly used, but the difficulties of reliably scaling from the individual to the stand level…
In this work, we adapt a method based on multiple hypothesis tracking (MHT) that has been shown to give state-of-the-art vessel segmentation results in interactive settings, for the purpose of extracting trees. Regularly spaced tubular…
We introduce a new structure for a set of points in the plane and an angle $\alpha$, which is similar in flavor to a bounded-degree MST. We name this structure $\alpha$-MST. Let $P$ be a set of points in the plane and let $0 < \alpha \le…
Finding the minimum spanning tree (MST) of a graph is an important task in computer vision, as it enables a sparse and low-cost representation of connectivity among elements (such as superpixels, points, or regions), which is useful for…
A numerical evidence for the dependence of the substructure abundance of cluster halos on the orientation coherence of the surrounding tidal fields is presented. Applying the adapted minimal spanning tree (MST) algorithm to the cluster…
There are different ways to define similarity for grouping similar texts into clusters, as the concept of similarity may depend on the purpose of the task. For instance, in topic extraction similar texts mean those within the same semantic…
We present Connected-Component~(CC)-Metrics, a novel semantic segmentation evaluation protocol, targeted to align existing semantic segmentation metrics to a multi-instance detection scenario in which each connected component matters. We…
Spatial clustering has been widely used for spatial data mining and knowledge discovery. An ideal multivariate spatial clustering should consider both spatial contiguity and aspatial attributes. Existing spatial clustering approaches may…
Clustering is widely used for unsupervised structure discovery, yet it offers limited insight into how reliable each individual assignment is. Diagnostics, such as convergence behavior or objective values, may reflect global quality, but…
