Testing the Test: Score-Direction Instability in Class-Split Anomaly Detection

Alejandro Ascarate, Leo Lebrat, Rodrigo Santa Cruz +2

Within-dataset class-split evaluation is widely used as a proxy for fully unconditional out-of-distribution anomaly detection. We show that this protocol can become ill-posed when…

High-Dimensional Latents Should Be Diagnosed Through Phase Structure

Alejandro Ascarate, Leo Lebrat, Rodrigo Santa Cruz +2

We study autoencoder and variational-autoencoder latent spaces through the lens of spin-glass theory. The paper has two components. First, we formalize a latent-space spin-glass di…

When Rule Violations Are Rare: Chimera Training for Logical Anomaly Detection

Alejandro Ascarate, Leo Lebrat, Rodrigo Santa Cruz +2

Many practical anomalies are not merely rare inputs, but violations of semantic constraints: objects co-occur in structured ways, actions imply preconditions, and events satisfy te…

VAE with Hyperspherical Coordinates: Improving Anomaly Detection from Hypervolume-Compressed Latent Space

Alejandro Ascarate, Leo Lebrat, Rodrigo Santa Cruz +2

Variational autoencoders (VAE) encode data into lower-dimensional latent vectors before decoding those vectors back to data. Once trained, one can hope to detect out-of-distributio…

The Ontology and Semantics of Quantum Theory for Quantum Gravity

Alejandro Ascárate

Based on a clear ontology of material individuals, we analyze in detail the factual semantics of quantum theory, and argue that the basic mathematical formalism of quantum theory i…

Spacetime Relationalism in GR and QG

Alejandro Ascárate

We provide here a philosophical basis for [arXiv:2012.03994, arXiv:2107.06693] based on the notion of spacetime relationalism. We argue that the view which is more cleanly compatib…

The Spacetime Picture in Quantum Gravity II

Alejandro Ascárate

As a continuation to [12], we introduce a new formalism for (part of) QG, which we call TQG, since it's based on the NC Tori. This allows us to obtain numerous insights about the n…

The Spacetime Picture in Quantum Gravity

Alejandro Ascárate

We propose an approach which, by combining insights from Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG), Topos theory, Non-commutative Geometry à la Connes, and spacetime relationalism, provides ferti…
