We study city-scale control of electric-vehicle (EV) ride-hailing fleets where dispatch, repositioning, and charging decisions must respect charger and feeder limits under uncertain, spatially correlated demand and travel times.

We introduce a novel learning framework for accelerated Monte Carlo (MC) dose calculation termed Energy-Shifting. This approach leverages deep learning to synthesize highly complex polyenergetic dose distributions directly from simple monoenergetic inputs under identical beam…

The mean-field Schrödinger bridge (MFSB) problem concerns designing a minimum-effort controller that guides a diffusion process with nonlocal interaction to reach a given distribution from another by a fixed deadline.

Mapping the spatial distribution of species is essential for conservation policy and invasive species management. Species distribution models (SDMs) are the primary tools for this task, serving two purposes: achieving robust predictive performance while providing ecological…

While critical for alignment, Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) incurs the risk of catastrophic forgetting, yet the layer-wise emergence of instruction-following capabilities remains elusive.

Emergent intelligence have played a major role in the modern AI development. While existing studies primarily rely on empirical observations to characterize this phenomenon, a rigorous theoretical framework remains underexplored.

Scientific discovery is slowed by fragmented literature that requires excessive human effort to gather, analyze, and understand. AI tools, including autonomous summarization and question answering, have been developed to aid in understanding scientific literature.

Understanding how complex systems respond to perturbations, such as whether they will remain stable or what their most sensitive patterns are, is a fundamental challenge across science and engineering.

We introduce the penalised Saito functional $\mathfrak S_{λ,β}(\mathcal{A};d_1,d_2)$ for a reduced arrangement $\mathcal{A}$ of $n$ lines and a prescribed pair $d_1+d_2=n-1$.

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have made significant strides in static image understanding but continue to face critical hurdles in spatiotemporal reasoning. A major bottleneck is "multi-image reasoning hallucination", where a large performance drop between forward and…

The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) enables intelligent healthcare services but faces challenges such as dynamic topology, energy constraints, and diverse QoS requirements. This paper proposes QQMR, a Q-learning-based QoS-aware multipath routing method for WBANs.

Ollivier-Ricci curvature (ORC), defined via the Wasserstein distance that captures rich geometric information, has received growing attention in both theory and applications.

Recent work has shown that the hidden states of large language models contain signals useful for uncertainty estimation, motivating a growing interest in efficient probe-based approaches.

We present a design automation framework for analog circuit sizing that produces calibrated, topology-specific analytical equations from raw circuit netlists. A large language model (LLM) derives a complete Python sizing function in which each device dimension is traceable to a…

Metasurface inverse design can realize complex optical functionality, but turning a target optical response into executable optimization code still requires substantial expertise in computational electromagnetics and solver-specific software engineering.

We give a short linear-algebraic proof of the inequality $$ \|x\|_1\,\|x\|_\infty \le \frac{1+\sqrt{n}}{2}\,\|x\|_2^2, $$ valid for every $x\in\mathbb{R}^n$. This inequality relates three fundamental norms on finite-dimensional spaces and has applications in optimization and…

Dimensionality reduction (DR) involves two longstanding trade-offs. First, preserving local neighborhoods can come at the cost of global structure. Neighbor embedding methods such as t-SNE and UMAP prioritize local similarity preservation but do not explicitly constrain global…

The rapid growth of the large language model (LLM) ecosystem raises a critical question: are seemingly diverse models truly independent? Shared pretraining data, distillation, and alignment pipelines can induce hidden behavioral dependencies, or latent entanglement, that…

Media narratives wield tremendous power in shaping public opinion, yet computational approaches struggle to capture the nuanced storytelling structures that communication theory emphasizes as central to how meaning is constructed.

On-Policy Distillation (OPD) trains large language models with teacher guidance on student-generated trajectories, addressing the mismatch between fixed demonstrations and the histories encountered during deployment.

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) improves large language models (LLMs) with external knowledge, but this access path creates security risks distinct from inherent prompt-only or parametric-model flaws. We frame secure RAG as securing external knowledge access.

The emergence of writable, cross-session persistent memory in LLM agents introduces a qualitatively different threat landscape from conventional input-centric security concerns, characterized by three properties: persistence, statefulness, and propagation.

The fundamental limit of natural signal compression has traditionally been characterized by classical rate-distortion (RD) theory through the tradeoff between coding rate and reconstruction distortion, while the rate-distortion-perception (RDP) framework introduces a…
