Transforming multimodal sources into condensed and structured media outputs can be fundamentally conceptualized as a long-horizon agentic process centered on a model-harness system. While an ideal harness system should align with human design priors and accumulate reusable experience through empirical exploration to drive recursive...
It is shown that, if an event $A$ has the same conditional probability in each trial in an infinite sequence of Bernoulli trials, then $A$ is independent of each trial. More general results are actually established.
Recent advances in foundation models have enabled AI scientists to automate increasingly complete research workflows, from hypothesis generation and code execution to manuscript preparation. Yet workflow coverage alone does not provide access to the full evidence on which scientific discovery depends. Existing systems typically reason...
In holography, four-dimensional confining gauge theories are often modelled by five-dimensional Einstein--scalar gravity by choosing a specific form of the scalar potential. In a large class of non-conformal theories, we show that a predictive structure emerges for the thermal confinement transition by generalising the gravitational...
Latent video generation relies on autoencoders to define a compact space in which generative models operate. Although video autoencoder architectures have evolved substantially, their latent spaces are still optimized primarily for pixel-level reconstruction and provide limited high-level semantic organization. A...
Humanoid motion tracking is central to teleoperation and whole-body imitation, yet evaluation often disagrees with what people perceive in videos. Kinematic errors average per-frame pose differences but miss the physical artifacts that matter most, particularly unstable support and incorrect contacts such as foot skating and mistimed...
We study online probabilistic forecasting of binary outcomes chosen by an adaptive adversary. Given an online learning algorithm for a weak hypothesis class $H$, we would like to efficiently obtain two incomparable guarantees that existing online boosting techniques provide separately. Online gradient boosting competes in Brier score...
In 1986, Gromov asked whether every complete noncompact $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature and scalar curvature at least one satisfies: \[ \Vol_g (B(p, R))\le C_{n}R^{n-2} \] for all $p\in M$ and $R>0$. We answer this question affirmatively using the heat-kernel Fisher metric and Nash entropy.
Video world models simulate future states conditioned on current observations and user actions. Recent systems have demonstrated impressive video consistency and action controllability over long sequences. However, fairly comparing these interactive models remains challenging. In practice, a human player typically evaluates a world...
Let $μ$ be a positive Borel measure on $\C^n$. For every $0<p<\infty$, we prove that the Toeplitz operator $T_μ^{\mathrm{ph}}$ induced by $μ$ on pluriharmonic Fock space belongs to $\Sp_p$ if and only if $z\mapstoμ(B(z,r))$ belongs to $L^p(\C^n)$ for one, or equivalently every, $r>0$; this is also equivalent to Schatten membership of...
We prove that every PPT linear map has finite entanglement-breaking index, thereby establishing the eventual entanglement-breaking property of PPT channels in full generality. Furthermore, by utilizing completely positive maps with low entanglement dimensionality, we show that a large family of PPT maps, which strictly containing the...
The per-instance Jaccard score, or intersection over union (IoU), is standard in multi-label classification and binary segmentation. With $s$ labels, its loss matrix has $2^s$ outcomes and reports. Under the convention $\mathrm{Jac}(\varnothing,\varnothing)=1$, we prove that the Jaccard score, shifted-loss, and ordinary loss matrices...
The orbital angular momentum (OAM) of light is a discrete, unbounded degree of freedom that underpins mode-multiplexed communications and high-dimensional quantum photonics. Yet, dynamic OAM control remains dependent on bulky free-space optics or cascaded architectures that separate switching from wavefront shaping, hindering...
LLM coding agents issue Bash commands through interfaces that may serialize, wrap, and reparse model output. Matched execution scores alone cannot distinguish command-generation errors from failures introduced after generation. QuoteBench measures this boundary with exact final-state validation on 56 one-shot tasks from 14...
Interactive world models must support persistent memory, responsive interaction, and long-horizon generation, yet these requirements place conflicting demands on the model. Maintaining history in the denoiser context or key-value cache incurs growing cost, forcing a trade-off between session length and retained memory, while...
Modern language models are trained on heterogeneous web-scale text corpora. Consequently, studying knowledge and skill acquisition is difficult, as prior exposure to related content is hard to characterize. To address this challenge, we introduce LITTLECURRICULUM, a curated 88B-token pretraining corpus tailored to U.S. elementary...
Knutson and Tao's hives is a combinatorial model to compute Littlewood--Richardson coefficients. Similar to hives, Speyer introduced skeps and used them to prove a Schur log-concavity conjecture by Lam--Postnikov--Pylyavskyy. We first introduce skew hive and skew skep models, which specialize to both hives and skeps, and use this to...
To achieve large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computation, it may be easier to combine many small sets of qubits than to construct a single large set. For example via quantum error correction with block codes, or distributed quantum processors utilizing shared entanglement. In these regimes, the time or error budget of the overall...
Quasi-hydrodynamics describes systems with quasi-conserved degrees of freedom, namely observables that relax on timescales that are finite but parametrically longer than microscopic relaxation times. Examples include kinetic chemistry and linear viscoelasticity. Here, we develop a rigorous effective-field-theory framework for linear...
Part-aware 3D generation aims to create digital assets that are coherent as complete objects while exposing structural parts for editing, material assignment, animation, and reuse. Existing methods impose this structure outside the native generation loop: segmentation-based methods partition an already generated shape, while additive...
We report simulations of the dissolution and diffusion of Nb's surface oxide layer in vacuum. While this chemical doping process is important for the surface preparation of Nb superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities - common components of particle accelerators - quantitatively linking the resulting oxygen distributions to...
We build on the recent breakthrough of Faulhuber, Petersen, van Velthoven, and Voigtlaender that disproved the HRT conjecture with a Schwartz function and a $12$-point configuration. We give a human-readable treatment of their mechanism and find HRT counterexample functions with exponential (or faster) decay. By a result of Bownik and...
Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) are proposed to extract numerous features from large language model (LLM) representations, yet explaining these features still relies primarily on external observation. This reliance leads to superficial explanations inferred from observed model behavior and computational inefficiency from collecting such...
The nucleon-triggered vector-boson scenario $V_{\mathcal B}$ was motivated by a statistically significant discrepancy between the KLOE measurement, $\mathrm{BR}^{η\rightarrowπ^{0}γγ}_{\text{KLOE}} = \left(0.98\pm0.11_{\text{stat}}\pm0.14_{\text{syst}}\right)\times10^{-4}$, and the current world average,...
Banach asked in 1932 whether a real Banach space $X$ whose $n$-dimensional subspaces, for some fixed $1<n<\dim X$, are all isometric must be a Hilbert space.Gromov proved the conjecture for even $n$, and subsequent work settled several odd-dimensional cases. We prove the conjecture for every odd $n$, including all previously...
