Many critical machine learning applications in cybersecurity, healthcare and finance, encounter challenges like data privacy, distribution shifts and class imbalance. Often, minority class labels are scarce and may only be present for specific types of samples, which can pose challenges for developing effective models that handle new and unforeseen minority examples at inference time. Additionally, feeding

We take a bottom-up first-principles approach to designing a two-qubit gate between fluxonium qubits for minimal error, speed, and control simplicity. Our proposed architecture consists of two fluxoniums coupled via a resonator. The use of a simple linear coupler has many practical benefits, including the possibility of material optimization for suppressing loss, reducing fabrication complexity, and increasing

The ability to extract and verify factual information from free-form text is critical in an era where vast amounts of unstructured data are available, yet unreliable sources abound. This paper focuses on enhancing causal deductive reasoning, a key component of factual verification, through the lens of accident investigation, where determining the probable causes of events is paramount. Deductive reasoning

Large language models (LLMs) have been shown to be effective on tabular prediction tasks in the low-data regime, leveraging their internal knowledge and ability to learn from instructions and examples. However, LLMs can fail to generate predictions that satisfy group fairness, that is, produce equitable outcomes across groups. Critically, conventional debiasing approaches for natural language tasks do not

Multilingual ASR offers training, deployment and overall performance benefits, but models trained via simple data pooling are known to suffer from cross-lingual interference. Oracle language information (exact-prior) and language-specific parameters are usually leveraged to overcome this, but such approaches cannot enable seamless, truly multilingual experiences. Existing methods try to overcome this limitation
