MIST: Reliable Streaming Decision Trees for Online Class-Incremental Learning via McDiarmid Bound

Streaming decision trees are natural candidates for open-world continual learning, as they perform local updates, enjoy bounded memory, and static decision boundaries. Despite these, they still fail in online class-incremental learning due to two coupled miscalibrations: (i) their split criterion grows unreliable as the class count K expands, and (ii) the absence of knowledge transfer at split time. Both failures share a common root: the range of Information Gain intrinsically scales with log2 K. Consequently, any Hoeffding-style confidence radius derived from it must inevitably grow with the class count, making a K-independent split criterion structurally impossible, taking away the potential benefits of applying streaming decision trees to continual learning. To fix this issue, we present MIST (McDiarmid Incremental Streaming Tree), which resolves both failures through three integrated components: (i) a tight, K-independent McDiarmid confidence radius for Gini splitting that acts as a structural regulariser; (ii) a Bayesian inheritance protocol that projects parent statistics to child nodes via truncated-Gaussian moments, with variance reduction guarantees strongest precisely when splitting is most conservative; and (iii) per-leaf KLL quantile sketches that support both continuous threshold evaluation and geometry-adaptive leaf prediction from a single data structure. On standard and stress-test tabular streams, MIST is competitive with global parametric methods on near-Gaussian benchmarks and uniquely robust on non-Gaussian geometry where SOTA benchmarks collapse.

Training-Free Cultural Alignment of Large Language Models via Persona Disagreement

Large language models increasingly mediate decisions that turn on moral judgement, yet a growing body of evidence shows that their implicit preferences are not culturally neutral. Existing cultural alignment methods either require per-country preference data and fine-tuning budgets or assume white-box access to model internals that commercial APIs do not expose. In this work, we focus on this realistic black-box, public-data-only regime and observe that within-country sociodemographic disagreement, not consensus, is the primary steering signal. We introduce DISCA (Disagreement-Informed Steering for Cultural Alignment), an inference-time method that instantiates each country as a panel of World-Values-Survey-grounded persona agents and converts their disagreement into a bounded, loss-averse logit correction. Across 20 countries and 7 open-weight backbones (2B--70B), DISCA reduces cultural misalignment on MultiTP by 10--24% on the six backbones >=3.8B, and 2--7% on open-ended scenarios, without changing any weights. Our results suggest that inference-time calibration is a scalable alternative to fine-tuning for serving the long tail of global moral preferences.

Unlocking Compositional Generalization in Continual Few-Shot Learning

Object-centric representations promise a key property for few-shot learning: Rather than treating a scene as a single unit, a model can decompose it into individual object-level parts that can be matched and compared across different concepts. In practice, this potential is rarely realized. Continual learners either collapse scenes into global embeddings, or train with part-level matching objectives that tie representations too closely to seen patterns, leaving them unable to generalize to truly novel concepts. In this paper, we identify this fundamental structural conflict and pioneer a new paradigm that strictly decouples representation learning from compositional inference. Leveraging the inherent patch-level semantic geometry of self-supervised Vision Transformers (ViTs), our framework employs a dual-phase strategy. During training, slot representations are optimized entirely toward holistic class identity, preserving highly generalizable, object-level geometries. At inference, preserved slots are dynamically composed to match novel scenes. We demonstrate that this paradigm offers dual structural benefits: The frozen backbone naturally prevents representation drift, while our lightweight, holistic optimization preserves the features' capacity for novel-concept transfer. Extensive experiments validate this approach, achieving state-of-the-art unseen-concept generalization and minimal forgetting across standard continual learning benchmarks.

VietMed-MCQ: A Consistency-Filtered Data Synthesis Framework for Vietnamese Traditional Medicine Evaluation

Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable proficiency in general medical domains. However, their performance significantly degrades in specialized, culturally specific domains such as Vietnamese Traditional Medicine (VTM), primarily due to the scarcity of high-quality, structured benchmarks. In this paper, we introduce VietMed-MCQ, a novel multiple-choice question dataset generated via a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipeline with an automated consistency check mechanism. Unlike previous synthetic datasets, our framework incorporates a dual-model validation approach to ensure reasoning consistency through independent answer verification, though the substring-based evidence checking has known limitations. The complete dataset of 3,190 questions spans three difficulty levels and underwent validation by one medical expert and four students, achieving 94.2 percent approval with substantial inter-rater agreement (Fleiss' kappa = 0.82). We benchmark seven open-source models on VietMed-MCQ. Results reveal that general-purpose models with strong Chinese priors outperform Vietnamese-centric models, highlighting cross-lingual conceptual transfer, while all models still struggle with complex diagnostic reasoning. Our code and dataset are publicly available to foster research in low-resource medical domains.

Weather-Robust Cross-View Geo-Localization via Prototype-Based Semantic Part Discovery

Cross-view geo-localization (CVGL), which matches an oblique drone view to a geo-referenced satellite tile, has emerged as a key alternative for autonomous drone navigation when GNSS signals are jammed, spoofed, or unavailable. Despite strong recent progress, three limitations persist: (1) global-descriptor designs compress the patch grid into a single vector without separating layout from texture across the view gap; (2) altitude-related scale variation is retained in the learned embedding rather than marginalized; and (3) multi-objective training relies on hand-tuned scalars over losses on incompatible gradient scales. We propose SkyPart, a lightweight swappable head for patch-based vision transformers (ViTs) that institutes explicit part grouping over the patch grid. SkyPart has four theory-grounded components: (i) learnable prototypes competing for patch tokens via single-pass cosine assignment; (ii) altitude-conditioned linear modulation applied only during training, making the retrieval embedding altitude-free at inference; (iii) a graph-attention readout over active prototypes; and (iv) a Kendall uncertainty-weighted multi-objective loss whose stationary points are Pareto-stationary. At 26.95M parameters and 22.14 GFLOPs, SkyPart is the smallest among top-performing methods and sets a new state of the art on SUES-200, University-1652, and DenseUAV under a single-pass, no-re-ranking, no-TTA protocol. Its advantage over the strongest baseline widens under the ten-condition WeatherPrompt corruption benchmark.
