Explaining machine-learning models is increasingly important for decision-making and consumer trust, yet it is widely believed to come at a cost: existing Explainable AI (XAI) methods suffer from a persistent accuracy-explainability trade-off. We argue that this trade-off is not…
Under a fixed privacy budget, the utility of differentially private (DP) training is ultimately determined by its optimization efficiency. Standard first-order DP optimizers such as DP-SGD rely solely on local gradients and ignore the underlying loss curvature. This geometric bli…
Large language models are increasingly used as evolutionary engines for scientific discovery: generate candidates, select winners, feed them back as parents, and repeat. We audit whether this loop actually compounds discovery in scientific equation discovery, a setting where fini…
