ALMo: Interactive Aim-Limit-Defined, Multi-Objective System for Personalized High-Dose-Rate Brachytherapy Treatment Planning and Visualization for Cervical Cancer
arXiv:2602.13666v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In complex clinical decision-making, clinicians must often track a variety of competing metrics defined by aim (ideal) and limit (strict) thresholds. Sifting through these high-dimensional tradeoffs to infer the optimal patient-specific strategy is cognitively demanding...
Optimal Regret for Policy Optimization in Contextual Bandits
arXiv:2602.13700v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present the first high-probability optimal regret bound for a policy optimization technique applied to the problem of stochastic contextual multi-armed bandit (CMAB) with general offline function approximation. Our algorithm is both efficient and achieves...
Near-Optimal Regret for Policy Optimization in Contextual MDPs with General Offline Function Approximation
arXiv:2602.13706v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We introduce \texttt{OPO-CMDP}, the first policy optimization algorithm for stochastic Contextual Markov Decision Process (CMDPs) under general offline function approximation. Our approach achieves a high probability regret bound of $\widetilde{O}(H^4\sqrt{T|S||A|\log(|\mathcal{F}||\mathcal{P}|)}),$ where $S$ and $A$ denote...
HBVLA: Pushing 1-Bit Post-Training Quantization for Vision-Language-Action Models
arXiv:2602.13710v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models enable instruction-following embodied control, but their large compute and memory footprints hinder deployment on resource-constrained robots and edge platforms. While reducing weights to 1-bit precision through binarization can greatly improve efficiency, existing...
MEMTS: Internalizing Domain Knowledge via Parameterized Memory for Retrieval-Free Domain Adaptation of Time Series Foundation Models
arXiv:2602.13783v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While Time Series Foundation Models (TSFMs) have demonstrated exceptional performance in generalized forecasting, their performance often degrades significantly when deployed in real-world vertical domains characterized by temporal distribution shifts and domain-specific periodic structures. Current solutions...
Mean Flow Policy with Instantaneous Velocity Constraint for One-step Action Generation
arXiv:2602.13810v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Learning expressive and efficient policy functions is a promising direction in reinforcement learning (RL). While flow-based policies have recently proven effective in modeling complex action distributions with a fast deterministic sampling process, they still face...
Testing For Distribution Shifts with Conditional Conformal Test Martingales
arXiv:2602.13848v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We propose a sequential test for detecting arbitrary distribution shifts that allows conformal test martingales (CTMs) to work under a fixed, reference-conditional setting. Existing CTM detectors construct test martingales by continually growing a reference set...
sleep2vec: Unified Cross-Modal Alignment for Heterogeneous Nocturnal Biosignals
arXiv:2602.13857v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Tasks ranging from sleep staging to clinical diagnosis traditionally rely on standard polysomnography (PSG) devices, bedside monitors and wearable devices, which capture diverse nocturnal biosignals (e.g., EEG, EOG, ECG, SpO$_2$). However, heterogeneity across devices and...
A Mass-Energy Equivalence Law as E = ½ Mc2
This paper assumes that the mass and charge of a particle are independent of its speed relative to an observer. A particle of mass m and charge Q moving with its electrostatic field Eo at an angle 𝜽 to the...
Criminalising ‘Conversion Therapy’
An increasing number of jurisdictions have introduced legal bans on so-called ‘conversion therapy’ practices. Yet significant uncertainty and disagreement persist among legal scholars, policymakers and advocates about whether criminal law is an appropriate tool in this area and, if so,...
