A definition of data value with much higher rank stability than Shapley values, proven to be most robust among all semi-values, mitigates the pressing issue of utility variance in ML applications.

In data valuation, relaxing the Shapley axioms leads to weighting schemes for marginal utilities that improve the quality of values

Diffusion models are finding their way into more machine learning domains. This paper introduces a framework for applying them to model-based reinforcement learning.

Generating images from text is complicated by the fact that small changes in prompt gives very different results. This new study shows how to do minimal changes to generated images through manipulation of the neural network attention maps.

Optimization layers allow incorporating downstream optimization problems into neural network training. The performance gap between the first-learn-then-optimise and the end-to-end approaches in the perfect model setting is shown to be unbounded for non-linear cost functions.
