PLDiv: Measuring Dataset Diversity and Semantic Collapse via Persistence Landscapes

Yang Ba, Michelle V. Mancenido, Rong Pan

Modern data pipelines increasingly combine human-created and human-curated data with AI-generated data for model training and evaluation. As datasets grow, they often add semantica…

Can We Trust This Evaluation? Instance-Level Reliability of LLM-as-a-Judge

Yang Ba, Michelle V. Mancenido, Rong Pan

LLM-as-a-judge evaluation commonly aggregates multiple judges' decisions into a majority vote, yet this panel decision process does not guarantee that the evaluation of an individu…

Training-Aware Target Coverage for Synthetic Data Selection

Yang Ba, Michelle V. Mancenido, Rong Pan

Synthetic data are increasingly used to scale LLM training, yet more synthetic data do not necessarily produce better models. Useful synthetic data must add information relevant to…

Signed Graph Pre-Training and Prompt Learning

Zihan Mei, Rong Pan, Yuzhou Chen +1

Signed graphs arise in trust--distrust networks, financial correlation systems, biological interaction graphs, and many other domains in which edges can be positive or negative and…

MemArchitect: A Policy Driven Memory Governance Layer

Lingavasan Suresh Kumar, Yang Ba, Rong Pan

Persistent Large Language Model (LLM) agents expose a critical governance gap in memory management. Standard Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) frameworks treat memory as passive…

Measuring Dataset Diversity from a Geometric Perspective

Yang Ba, Mohammad Sadeq Abolhasani, Michelle V Mancenido +1

Diversity can be broadly defined as the presence of meaningful variation across elements, which can be viewed from multiple perspectives, including statistical variation and geomet…

Fill In The Gaps: Model Calibration and Generalization with Synthetic Data

Yang Ba, Michelle V. Mancenido, Rong Pan

As machine learning models continue to swiftly advance, calibrating their performance has become a major concern prior to practical and widespread implementation. Most existing cal…

Data Diversity as Implicit Regularization: How Does Diversity Shape the Weight Space of Deep Neural Networks?

Yang Ba, Michelle V. Mancenido, Rong Pan

Data augmentation that introduces diversity into the input data has long been used in training deep learning models. It has demonstrated benefits in improving robustness and genera…
