Beyond Rational Illusion: Behaviorally Realistic Strategic Classification

ICML 2026poster

Strategic classification studies the interaction between decision models and agents who strategically manipulate their features for favorable outcomes. Existing SC frameworks typically rely on the idealized assumption that agents are strictly rational. However, evidence from behavioral economics and…

Detecting Unobserved Confounders: A Kernelized Regression Approach

AAAI 2026technical

Detecting unobserved confounders is crucial for reliable causal inference in observational studies. Existing methods require either linearity assumptions or multiple heterogeneous environments, limiting applicability to nonlinear single-environment settings. To bridge this gap, we propose Kernel Reg

Learning Kernelized Hypothesis for Hidden Confounder Detection

IJCAI 2026

Detecting hidden confounding is crucial for reliable causal analysis from observational data, directly determining which downstream causal inference method to be deployed. Inspired by the theory of higher-order regression, recent sample-efficient hypothesis testing strategies overcome the restrictiv

When Tabular Foundation Models Meet Strategic Tabular Data: A Prior Alignment Approach

ICML 2026poster

Tabular foundation models via pretrained prior-data fitted networks (PFNs) achieve remarkable generalization performance on arbitrary testing tabular data, when sample distributions are independent of the deployed classifiers, i.e., a non-strategic regime. In a variety of real-world scenarios, howev…

Tailless Flapping-Wing Robot With Bio-Inspired Elastic Passive Legs for Multi-Modal Locomotion

RA-L 2025

Flapping-wing robots offer significant versatility; however, achieving efficient multi-modal locomotion remains challenging. This paper presents the design, modeling, and experimentation of a novel tailless flapping-wing robot with three independently actuated pairs of wings. Inspired by the leg mor
