Ramen: Robust Test-Time Adaptation of Vision-Language Models with Active Sample Selection

Researchers introduce Ramen, a test-time adaptation framework that improves vision-language models like CLIP when facing mixed-domain data shifts. The method uses active sample selection to retrieve relevant batches for each test sample, addressing a practical gap where existing approaches assume single-domain test distributions.

AEL: Agent Evolving Learning for Open-Ended Environments

Researchers propose Agent Evolving Learning, a framework that lets LLM agents retain and act on past experience across multiple episodes by dynamically selecting memory retrieval policies and using reflection to diagnose failure patterns. The approach tackles a core limitation: stateless agents that solve each task from scratch rather than improving through accumulated knowledge.

Fairness under uncertainty in sequential decisions

Researchers tackle fairness in sequential decision-making systems where algorithms make choices with incomplete information and compounding effects on marginalized groups. The work addresses a gap in fair ML: most fairness research focuses on one-shot predictions, but real deployments like loan approvals involve chains of decisions where historical bias and underrepresentation amplify harm.
