Audits Under Resource, Data, and Access Constraints: Scaling Laws For Less Discriminatory Alternatives
AI audits play a critical role in AI accountability and safety. One branch of the law for which AI audits are particularly salient is anti-discrimination law. Several areas of anti-discrimination law implicate the "less discriminatory alternative" (LDA) requirement, in which a protocol (e.g., model) is defensible if no less discriminatory protocol that achieves comparable performance can be found with a reasonable amount of effort. Notably, the burden of proving an LDA exists typically falls on…

Discriminative Feature Feedback with General Teacher Classes
We study the theoretical properties of the interactive learning protocol Discriminative Feature Feedback (DFF) (Dasgupta et al., 2018). The DFF learning protocol uses feedback in the form of discriminative feature explanations. We provide the first systematic study of DFF in a general framework that is comparable to that of classical protocols such as supervised learning and online learning. We study the optimal mistake bound of DFF in the realizable and the non-realizable settings, and obtain …

Efficient Discriminative Joint Encoders for Large Scale Vision-Language Reranking
Multimodal retrieval still leans on embedding-based models like CLIP for fast vector search over pre-computed image embeddings. Yet, unlike text retrieval, where joint-encoder rerankers are standard, comparable vision--language rerankers are largely absent. We find that seminal joint encoders such as BLIP are severely bottlenecked by an expensive visual feature-extraction stage, preventing practical deployment at scale. Motivated by this bottleneck, we introduce EDJE, an Efficient Discriminativ…

Cosmology, Decoherence and the Second Law
We consider quantum decoherence and entropy increase in early universe cosmology. We first study decoherence in a discrete bipartite quantum system for which a single qubit gets entangled with an environment and the entropy increase is correlated with the decay of the off-diagonal terms of the reduced density matrix. We compare this system with continuous systems relevant for cosmology for which there is a natural external intervention, corresponding to the time-dependent separation between the…

Refined floor diagrams relative to a conic and Caporaso-Harris type formula
We prove a $q$-refined correspondence theorem between higher genus relative Gromov-Witten invariants with a Lambda class $λ_{g-g'}$ insertion in the blow-up of $\mathbb{P}^2$ at $k$ points on a conic and the refined counts of genus $g'$ floor diagrams relative to a conic, after the change of variables $q=e^{iu}$. We provide a Caporaso-Harris type recursive formula for the refined counts of higher genus floor diagrams. As an application of the correspondence theorem, we propose a higher genus v…

Text to model via SysML: Automated generation of dynamical system computational models from unstructured natural language text via enhanced System Modeling Language diagrams
This paper contributes to speeding up the design and deployment of engineering dynamical systems by proposing a strategy for exploiting domain and expert knowledge for the automated generation of dynamical system computational model starting from a corpus of document relevant to the dynamical system of interest and an input document describing the specific system. This strategy is implemented in five steps and, crucially, it uses system modeling language diagrams (SysML) to extract accurate inf…
