Language-Induced Priors for Domain Adaptation

Qiyuan Chen, Jiayu Zhou, Raed Al Kontar

Domain adaptation faces a fundamental paradox in the cold-start regime. When target data is scarce, statistical methods fail to distinguish relevant source domains from irrelevant…

Inv-Entropy: A Fully Probabilistic Framework for Uncertainty Quantification in Language Models

Haoyi Song, Ruihan Ji, Naichen Shi +2

Large language models (LLMs) have transformed natural language processing, but their reliable deployment requires effective uncertainty quantification (UQ). Existing UQ methods are…

LLINBO: Trustworthy LLM-in-the-Loop Bayesian Optimization

Chih-Yu Chang, Milad Azvar, Chinedum Okwudire +1

Bayesian optimization (BO) is a sequential decision-making tool widely used for optimizing expensive black-box functions. Recently, Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown remarkab…

ALBATROSS: Cheap Filtration Based Geometry via Stochastic Sub-Sampling

Andrew J. Stier, Naichen Shi, Raed Al Kontar +2

Topological data analysis (TDA) detects geometric structure in biological data. However, many TDA algorithms are memory intensive and impractical for massive datasets. Here, we int…
