Weighted Classification Cascades for Optimizing Discovery Significance in the HiggsML Challenge
We introduce a minorization-maximization approach to optimizing common measures of discovery significance in high energy physics. The approach alternates between solving a weighted binary classification problem and updating class weights in a simple, closed-form manner. Moreover, an argument based on convex duality shows that an improvement in weighted classification error on any round yields a commensurate improvement in discovery significance. We complement our derivation with experimental results from the 2014 Higgs boson machine learning challenge.

Customer Momentum
This paper examines customer momentum, defined as a positive relationship between a firm's returns and past returns of its customers. I confirm previous evidence (Cohen and Frazzini 2008) that customer momentum is both s…
Forced Deferral: Manipulating Routing Decisions in Multimodal LLM Cascades
While multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have shown strong visual reasoning abilities, serving a large model for every query is computationally expensive. MLLM cascades mitigate this cost by first querying a weak b…
Visual ReasoningRoot-Cause Analysis of Activation Cascade Differences in Brain Networks
Diffusion MRI imaging and tractography algorithms have enabled the mapping of the macro-scale connectome of the entire brain. At the functional level, probably the simplest way to study the dynamics of macro-scale brain …
Diffusion MRITask-to-Model Optimization for Enterprise LLM Coding Assistants: A Data-Driven Framework for Cost-Optimal Routing
Enterprise AI coding assistants incur substantial inference spend, and naive token-cost minimization often fails to reduce end-to-end cost once retries, escalations, and developer wait time are included. We present Task-…
Detecting Social Influence in Event Cascades by Comparing Discriminative Rankers
The global dynamics of event cascades are often governed by the local dynamics of peer influence. However, detecting social influence from observational data is challenging due to confounds like homophily and practical i…
