This paper explores the concept of satisficing in multi-armed bandit problems, where we aim to find solutions that exceed a satisfaction threshold rather than seeking optimal outcomes. Read more

We revisit Wald’s celebrated Sequential Probability Ratio Test for sequential tests of two simple hypotheses, under privacy constraints. We propose DP-SPRT, a wrapper that can be calibrated to achieve desired error probabilities and privacy constraints, addressing a gap in previous... Read more

Reinforcement learning (RL) research requires diverse, challenging environments that are both tractable and scalable. While modern video games may offer rich dynamics, they are computationally expensive and poorly suited for large-scale experimentation due to their CPU-bound execution. We introduce Octax,...

Modern AI models are not static. They go through multiple updates in their lifecycles. We propose to design Sequential Membership Inference (SeMI) attacks leading to tighter privacy audits by exploiting the sequence of models and injecting a target canary at... Read more

We present a method for the automated discovery of system-level dynamics in Flow-Lenia—a continuous cellular automaton (CA) with mass conservation and parameter localization—using a curiosity-driven AI scientist. This method aims to uncover processes leading to self-organization of evolutionary and ecosystemic... Read more
