Domain Adaptation with Adaptive $f$-Divergence: Tighter Variational Representation and Generalization Bounds

ICML 2026poster

We study unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) where measuring cross-domain discrepancy is critical. Most UDA approaches fix a single $f$-divergence a priori, which can be suboptimal across heterogeneous shifts. We propose a framework that (i) tightens the variational lower bound of an $f$-divergence…

Mitigating Hallucinations in Large Vision-Language Models via Causal Route Gating

ICML 2026spotlight

Large vision-language models (LVLMs) often hallucinate content that is fluent yet unsupported by the image, limiting their reliability in real-world deployment. We show that a key failure mode arises from route competition: even when visual tokens receive attention, the final token decision can be d…

Scalable and Stable Estimation of Amari $\alpha$-Divergence using Random Fourier Features

ICML 2026poster

Reliable estimation of Amari $\alpha$-divergences underpins variational inference, yet unconstrained neural critics are notoriously prone to instability. We propose a scalable estimator by constraining the critic to a Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space (RKHS) ball and approximating the kernel via band…
