Matrix Profile for Time-Series Anomaly Detection: A Reproducible Open-Source Benchmark on TSB-AD
arXiv:2604.02445v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Matrix Profile (MP) methods are an interpretable and scalable family of distance-based methods for time-series anomaly detection, but strong benchmark performance still depends on design choices beyond a vanilla nearest-neighbor profile. This technical report documents an open-source Matrix Profile for Anomaly Detection (MMPAD) submission to TSB-AD, a benchmark that covers both univariate and multivariate time series. The submitted system combines pre-sorted multidimensional aggregation, efficient exclusion-zone-aware k-nearest-neighbor (kNN) retrieval for repeated anomalies, and moving-average post-processing. To serve as a reproducible reference for MP-based anomaly detection on TSB-AD, we detail the released implementation, the hyperparame
GRADE: Probing Knowledge Gaps in LLMs through Gradient Subspace Dynamics
arXiv:2604.02830v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Detecting whether a model's internal knowledge is sufficient to correctly answer a given question is a fundamental challenge in deploying responsible LLMs. In addition to verbalising the confidence by LLM self-report, more recent methods explore the model internals, such as the hidden states of the response tokens to capture how much knowledge is activated. We argue that such activated knowledge may not align with what the query requires, e.g., capturing the stylistic and length-related features that are uninformative for answering the query. To fill the gap, we propose GRADE (Gradient Dynamics for knowledge gap detection), which quantifies the knowledge gap via the cross-layer rank ratio of the gradient to that of the corresponding hidden st
