Generative Information Retrieval (GIR) has emerged as a transformative paradigm, shifting document retrieval from a traditional "retrieve-and-rank" workflow to sequence-to-sequence generation, where a model directly predicts document identifiers (DocIDs).

Endpoint accuracy on abstract-reasoning benchmarks does not reveal whether a language model has acquired a transferable rule or fit distribution-specific regularities. We study this distinction in small language models on the ARC-TGI benchmark, which organizes abstract grid…

Field-effect transistor (FET) layouts on exfoliated two-dimensional flakes are typically drawn by hand for each flake, placing contacts and gates to match its position and outline in optical micrographs.

Modern text-to-speech (TTS) systems can clone a target speaker from a short reference clip or be fine-tuned on a target voice, yet their behaviour on morphologically rich, lower-resource languages such as Turkish remain under-characterised.

Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TC3) requires responders to connect visual observations of injuries and interventions with established clinical guidance. Developing vision-language models to support this process requires supervision that links visible evidence to traceable…

Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) has become a standard approach for parameter-efficient fine-tuning, yet a fundamental practical question remains unresolved: how should the adapter rank be chosen? An overly small rank may lead to a poorly conditioned optimization landscape, whereas an…

We present a new perspective on the problem of likelihood approximation within the framework of simulation-based inference that promotes scalable and controllable simulation routines for large-scale data analysis, allows efficient parameter space exploration or smooth…

As technology scales to smaller nodes, increasing current densities make electromigration (EM) one of the dominant reliability challenges in on-chip interconnects. Accurate transient stress analysis is needed to identify wires susceptible to EM degradation, but applying…

An inaccurate expert can still provide useful information after correction. We study online learning to defer in which the learner chooses an expert and fixes a correction function before purchasing its answer, then applies that function to the answer received.

Recent advances in penalty-based methods for stochastic bilevel optimization (SBO) have eliminated the need for second-order derivative oracles. However, for stochastic nonconvex-strongly convex bilevel problems, existing first-order methods typically rely on nested loops and/or…

A recurring design principle in modern optimizers is to decouple update magnitude from the raw gradient norm, yet its consequences for learning-curve and resource scaling remain unclear.

We develop and test a theory of language model representations in which there exist atomic features. Our main theoretical insight is that in such a model, sparse dictionaries (e.g., SAEs) of increasing size recover an increasing prefix of the most prevalent atoms in the training…

Representations of translated sentences are similar in the inner layers of multilingual language models -- an observation connected to the platonic representation hypothesis, yet unexplained theoretically.

Deterministic benchmark scores show that an agent received credit, but not whether that credit was earned, reported honestly, or would hold on a second run. We introduce a Trust Layer for Agent Evaluation, an additive post-hoc framework that reports, beside each recorded score,…

Systems engineers use several diagrams to describe the structure and behavior of systems. Engineers create these diagrams together to make sure that they use the same elements and remain consistent with one another.

An electromagnetic inversion scheme that integrates stochastic optimization (STO) and plug-and-play (PNP) regularization into contrast-source inversion (CSI), termed STO-PNP-CSI, is developed.

Sensing technologies have advanced rapidly across industries ranging from energy to automotive manufacturing. These systems generate high-dimensional (HD) data characterized by complex nonlinear patterns and strong temporal dependencies.

This paper presents the workflow for building an automated ArcGIS Pro tool using ArcPy to extract the Land Surface Temperature (LST) from Landsat 7, 8 and 9 datasets. The tool eliminates the need for manual band selection and repetitive raster computations by automating the…

We ask whether physically meaningful correspondences discovered inside a trained scientific model remain meaningful outside the conditions under which they were discovered.

Pointwise Mutual Information (PMI) is a core measure of testing word association, and Skip-gram with Negative Sampling (SGNS) is essentially a method that implicitly factorizes a shifted PMI matrix.

Evaluating vision encoders requires metrics that reliably predict their downstream performance in multimodal large language models (MLLMs). Although recent studies have shown that cross-modal metrics can better capture such performance, unimodal metrics remain the dominant…

This study analyzes the predictive power of LM-derived, token-level surprisal on Mandarin Chinese reading times. We first propose the Shortest Matching Sequence (SMS), an alignment scheme that maps between the word segmentation assumed by eye-tracking corpora and the LMs'…

Reinforcement learning controllers for underwater vehicles are usually trained against one physics representation and deployed against another, so reported performance does not always describe behavior outside training.
