• Abstract: In a recent preprint Gill and Lambare, criticize our paper published in Frontiers in Physics. Their criticism is unfounded and misleading. They define a probabilistic coupling, in which BI-CHSH hold for all finite samples. It does not mean, that BI-CHSH hold in our model, in which four incompatible experiments are described by setting dependent random variables implemented on 4 disjoint dedicated probability spaces. A joint probability distribution of these random variables does not exist and may not be used to derive inequalities. Moreover, their probabilistic coupling is useless, for a subsequent contextual model, which we construct to describe final data from Bell tests and to explain, in a locally causal way, the reported violations of inequalities and apparent violations of no-signaling. Neither quantum probabilistic model of an ideal EPRB experiment nor local realistic and stochastic hidden variable models may explain reported non-signaling Therefore; it is obvious that our model extends the set of probability distributions of possible measurements allowed in the standard hidden variable models. Gill and Lambare seem not understand , the main message of our paper, that the violation of BI-CHSH and Eberhard inequalities by finite samples in Bell Tests, no matter how well these tests are designed and performed, does not allow for doubt regarding the existence of objective external physical reality and causal locality in Nature. Our contextual model does not want to circumvent Bell Theorem. Therefore the title of Gill and Lambare paper and the conclusion: Kupczynski's escape route for local realism is not available are misleading and have nothing to do with the content and conclusions of our paper.

  We present the first performance guarantee with explicit dimensional general score-mismatched diffusion samplers. We show that score mismatches result in an distributional bias between the target and sampling distributions, proportional to the accumulated mismatch between the target and training distributions. This result can be directly applied to zero-shot conditional samplers for any conditional model, irrespective of measurement noise.

In this paper, Sica's approach is extended to series with non ideal efficiency and to the actual time structure of experimental data.

• Prototype-based Aleatoric Uncertainty Quantification for Cross-modal Retrieval [139.21955930418815]
  Cross-modal Retrieval methods build similarity relations between vision and language modalities by jointly learning a common representation space. However, the predictions are often unreliable due to the Aleatoric uncertainty, which is induced by low-quality data, e.g., corrupt images, fast-paced videos, and non-detailed texts. We propose a novel Prototype-based Aleatoric Uncertainty Quantification (PAU) framework to provide trustworthy predictions by quantifying the uncertainty arisen from the inherent data ambiguity.

• Response: Kupczynski Contextual Locally Causal Probabilistic Models are constrained by Bell theorem [0.0]
  In our contextual model, statistical independence is violated, thus it is not constrained by Bell Theorem. In several Bell Tests, two time series of distant clicks are converted into finite samples containing pairs of non zero outcomes.

• Response: Commentary: Is the moon there if nobody looks? Bell inequalities and physical reality [0.0]
  Gill and Lambare completely misinterpret the content and conclusions of this article. Their model defines a probabilistic coupling for our model describing only the raw data from Bell tests. Inequalities cannot be derived because our model violates statistical independence.

• Kupczynski's Contextual Locally Causal Probabilistic Models are constrained by Bell's theorem [0.0]
  Kupczynski has argued that Bell's theorem can be circumvented if one takes correct account of contextual setting-dependent parameters describing measuring instruments. We show that this is not true. Even if one takes account of contextuality in the way he suggests, the Bell-CHSH inequality can still be derived.

• Dense Uncertainty Estimation via an Ensemble-based Conditional Latent Variable Model [68.34559610536614]
  We argue that the aleatoric uncertainty is an inherent attribute of the data and can only be correctly estimated with an unbiased oracle model. We propose a new sampling and selection strategy at train time to approximate the oracle model for aleatoric uncertainty estimation. Our results show that our solution achieves both accurate deterministic results and reliable uncertainty estimation.

  We show that causal inference is NP-hard even in models characterised by polytree-shaped graphs. We introduce the causal EM algorithm to reconstruct the uncertainty about the latent variables from data about categorical manifest variables. We argue that there appears to be an unnoticed limitation to the trending idea that counterfactual bounds can often be computed without knowledge of the structural equations.
