Study optimal auction formats for maximizing MEV on Ethereum.
problem Maximizing extractable value from Ethereum auctions.
method Empirical analysis of 2.2 million transactions, modeling affiliation among bidders.
result English and second-price sealed-bid auctions dominate other formats, with significant revenue losses.
We define a notion of facets-pairing structure and its seal space on a nice manifold with corners. We will study facets-pairing structures on any cube in detail and investigate when the seal space of a facets-pairing structure on a cube is a closed manifold. In particular, for any binary square matrix A with zero dia…
Signed compression progress on a sealed audit is goodhart-resistant.
problem Intrinsic motivation for agents to improve their world models by compressing experience.
method Rewarding agents for the signed decrease of a fixed sealed-audit loss.
result Cumulative reward telescopes exactly to endpoint audit improvement, preventing infinite reward push while true audit performance stagnates.
This paper uses ML to identify prey handling in seals.
problem Automatically classify prey handling activity in seals for monitoring.
method Developed and compared three ML algorithms: Input Delay Neural Networks, Support Vector Machines, and Echo State Networks.
result Echo State Networks outperformed other algorithms in terms of accuracy and F1score.
Active learning (AL) on attributed graphs has received increasing attention with the prevalence of graph-structured data. Although AL has been widely studied for alleviating label sparsity issues with the conventional non-related data, how to make it effective over attributed graphs remains an open research question. E…
New method samples manifolds efficiently using Dirichlet distribution.
problem Sampling on complex manifolds efficiently.
method Data-driven Dirichlet sampling on manifolds.
result Efficient sampling respects manifold structure with low computational effort.
We present SEALion: an extensible framework for privacy-preserving machine learning with homomorphic encryption. It allows one to learn deep neural networks that can be seamlessly utilized for prediction on encrypted data. The framework consists of two layers: the first is built upon TensorFlow and SEAL and exposes sta…
Privacy-preserving crypto exchanges adjust prices based on Gaussian noise.
problem Ensuring fair pricing in privacy-preserving cryptocurrency exchanges.
method Derive Kyle equilibrium with Gaussian noise perturbation, rescaling price-impact and strategy factors.
result Identify a privacy subsidy as a transfer from LP pool to traders, invariant to noise.
Develops a method to efficiently use offline data for RL policy optimization.
problem Lack of online data for offline RL in mobile health applications.
method Advantage learning framework using optimal Q-estimators.
result New policy converges faster than existing methods.
The study recovers airflow from thoracic and abdominal movements using advanced signal processing.
problem Challenges in measuring airflow from thoracic and abdominal movements using small, inexpensive devices.
method Synchrosqueezing transform and locally stationary Gaussian process regression.
result Accurate prediction of airflow achieved in both normal sleep and anesthesia transition cases.
The paper examines how builders in Ethereum auctions can defect and replicate winning MEV opportunities, affecting searchers' bidding strategies.
problem Commitment problem in Ethereum auctions where builders can defect and replicate winning MEV opportunities.
method Modeling and analysis of searchers' bidding strategies and the resulting equilibrium, using libMEV dataset.
result The equilibrium is piecewise, with the cost of imperfect commitment depending on replicability and competition. There is sharp heterogeneity across MEV types.
Graph edges, along with their labels, can represent information of fundamental importance, such as links between web pages, friendship between users, the rating given by users to other users or items, and much more. We introduce LEAP, a trainable, general framework for predicting the presence and properties of edges on…
SecureGBM securely trains GBM models across two parties without revealing data.
problem Securely training GBM models across parties with encrypted data.
method Extending LightGBM with semi-homomorphic encryption and stochastic approximation.
result SecureGBM achieves AUC within 3% of non-secure LightGBM, maintaining performance.
CLQT benchmarks LLM portfolio managers by evaluating their decision-making process, not just returns.
problem Most benchmarks rank LLMs by returns, ignoring their decision-making process and potential for look-ahead leakage.
method CLQT reframes evaluation as diagnosis, using a closed-loop, cost-aware, strategy-consistent environment with a five-stage cycle.
result CLQT provides a durable map of agent competencies and limitations, separating outcome from process.
