Privacy-Aware Continual Self-Supervised Learning on Multi-Window Chest Computed Tomography for Domain-Shift Robustness

A new study introduces Semantic Orthogonal Calibration (SoC), a method aimed at improving the calibration of uncertainty estimates in vision-language models (VLMs) during test-time prompt tuning. This approach addresses the challenge of overconfidence in models by enforcing smooth prototype separation while maintaining semantic proximity.

A recent study on differentially private policy optimization (DPPO) has been published, focusing on the sample complexity of policy optimization (PO) in reinforcement learning (RL). This research addresses privacy concerns in sensitive applications such as robotics and healthcare by formalizing a definition of differential privacy tailored to PO and analyzing the sample complexity of various PO algorithms under DP constraints.

A new theoretical framework utilizing Sheaf Diffusion has been proposed to enhance fairness in machine learning algorithms, particularly in critical sectors such as justice, healthcare, and finance. This method aims to project input data into a bias-free space, thereby addressing both individual and group fairness metrics.
