Diffusion and Flow Matching Models for Tabular Data: A Survey
Zhong Li, Qi Huang, Lincen Yang +5
Deep generative models have made rapid progress in image, text, audio, and video generation, and are increasingly being applied to structured records. For tabular data, however, ge…
Pruning Federated Models through Loss Landscape Analysis and Client Agreement Scoring
Christian Internò, Elena Raponi, Markus Olhofer +5
The practical deployment of Federated Learning (FL) on resource-constrained devices is fundamentally limited by the high cost of training large models and the instability caused by…
Block-Bench: A Framework for Controllable and Transparent Discrete Optimization Benchmarking
Furong Ye, Frank Neumann, Thomas Bäck +1
We present a novel approach for constructing discrete optimization benchmarks that enables fine-grained control over problem properties, and such benchmarks can facilitate analyzin…
Automated Algorithm Design for Auto-Tuning Optimizers
Floris-Jan Willemsen, Niki van Stein, Ben van Werkhoven
Automatic performance tuning (auto-tuning) is essential for optimizing high-performance applications, where vast and irregular search spaces make manual exploration infeasible. Whi…
From Heuristic Selection to Automated Algorithm Design: LLMs Benefit from Strong Priors
Qi Huang, Furong Ye, Ananta Shahane +2
Large Language Models (LLMs) have already been widely adopted for automated algorithm design, demonstrating strong abilities in generating and evolving algorithms across various fi…
Structural bias in multi-objective optimisation
Jakub Kudela, Niki van Stein, Thomas Bäck +1
Structural bias (SB) refers to systematic preferences of an optimisation algorithm for particular regions of the search space that arise independently of the objective function. Wh…
