Sic Transit Gloria Manuscriptum: Two Views of the Aggregate Fate of Ancient Papers [PDF]
When PageRank began to be used for ranking in Web search, a concern soon arose that older pages have an inherent --- and potentially unfair --- advantage over emerging pages of high quality, because they have had more time to acquire hyperlink citations. Algorithms were then proposed to compensate for this effect.

Bayesian Hierarchical Modelling for Tailoring Metric Thresholds
Software is highly contextual. While there are cross-cutting `global' lessons, individual software projects exhibit many `local' properties. This data heterogeneity makes drawing local conclusions from global data dangerous.

Proactive Privacy Amnesia for Large Language Models: Safeguarding PII with Negligible Impact on Model Utility [PDF]
With the rise of large language models (LLMs), increasing research has recognized their risk of leaking personally identifiable information (PII) under malicious attacks. Although efforts have been made to protect PII in LLMs, existing methods struggle to balance privacy protection with maintaining model utility.

Order parameters and phase transitions of continual learning in deep neural networks [PDF]
Continual learning (CL) enables animals to learn new tasks without erasing prior knowledge. CL in artificial neural networks (NNs) is challenging due to catastrophic forgetting, where new learning degrades performance on older tasks. While various techniques exist to mitigate forgetting, theoretical insights into when and why CL fails in NNs are ...
