Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models are effective at understanding what task to perform, but provide limited control over how it should be executed, such as moving quickly or slowly. We introduce TempoBridge, a lightweight framework that uses frozen VLA representations to modulate actions according to tempo cues in the …

Learning robust survival models under distribution shift is an important but challenging problem in many applications. In heterogeneous populations, a model that performs well on average may still perform poorly on certain subpopulations, and this issue becomes even more severe when the training data are contaminated b …

Machine learning models often suffer performance degradation under subpopulation shift, particularly when spurious correlations cause models to rely on shortcut features that fail to generalize across subgroups. A recent line of work mitigates this issue by using loss-based signals to identify informative samples, but …

Despite strong mean accuracy, tabular foundation models (TFMs) can perform poorly on underrepresented groups under subpopulation shift, where group proportions change between training and deployment. We propose DR-TFM, a parameter-efficient distributionally robust adaptation framework that requires no true group annota …
