A New Bayesian Framework with Natural Priors to Constrain the Neutron Star Equation of State

We propose a new Bayesian framework to infer the neutron star equation of state (EOS) from mass and radius observations and neutron matter theory by defining priors that directly parameterize mass-radius space instead of pressure-energy density space. We use direct and accurate inversion approximations to map mass-radius relations to the underlying EOS. We systematically compare its EOS inferences with those inferred from traditional EOS parameterizations, taking care to quantify the systematic prior uncertainties of both. Our results show that prior uncertainties should be included in all Bayesian approaches. The more natural alternative framework provides broader coverage of the physically allowed mass-radius space, especially small radius configurations, and yields enhanced computational efficiency and substantially reduced dependence on prior choices. Our results demonstrate that direct parameterization in observed space offers a robust and efficient alternative to traditional methods.

MoRe: Modular Representations for Principled Continual Representation Learning on Sequantial Data

Continual learning requires models to adapt to new data while preserving previously acquired knowledge. At its core, this challenge can be viewed as principled one-step adaptation: incorporating new information with minimal interference to existing representations. Most existing approaches address this challenge by modifying model parameters or architectures in a supervised, task-specific manner. However, the underlying issue is representational: tasks require distinct yet structured representations that can be selectively updated without disrupting representations, while structure should reflect intrinsic organization in the data rather than task boundaries. In sequential data, time-delayed dependencies provide a natural signal for uncovering this organization, revealing how fundamental representations give rise to more specific ones. Inspired by the modular organization of the human brain, we propose MoRe, a framework that identifies modularity in the representation itself rather than allocating it at the architectural level. MoRe decomposes knowledge into a hierarchy of fundamental and specific modules with identifiability guarantees, enabling principled module reuse, alignment, and expansion during adaptation while preserving old modules by construction. Experiments on synthetic benchmarks and real-world LLM activations demonstrate interpretable hierarchical structure, improved plasticity-stability trade-offs, suggesting MoRe as a principled foundation for continual adaptation

See Yourself in Others: Attending Multiple Tasks for Own Failure Detection

Autonomous robots deal with unexpected scenarios in real environments. Given input images, various visual perception tasks can be performed, e.g., semantic segmentation, depth estimation and normal estimation. These different tasks provide rich information for the whole robotic perception system. All tasks have their own characteristics while sharing some latent correlations. However, some of the task predictions may suffer from the unreliability dealing with complex scenes and anomalies. We propose an attention-based failure detection approach by exploiting the correlations among multiple tasks. The proposed framework infers task failures by evaluating the individual prediction, across multiple visual perception tasks for different regions in an image. The formulation of the evaluations is based on an attention network supervised by multi-task uncertainty estimation and their corresponding prediction errors. Our proposed framework generates more accurate estimations of the prediction error for the different task's predictions.
