LLM post-training has primarily relied on large text corpora and human feedback, without capturing the structure of domain knowledge. This has caused models to struggle dealing with complex reasoning tasks, especially for high-stakes professional domains. In Law, reasoning requires deep understanding of the relations between various...
We continue the study of ideal convergence for sequences $(x_n)$ with values in a topological space $X$ with respect to a family $\{F_η:η\in X\}$ of subsets of $X$ with $η\in F_η$, where each $F_η$ measures the allowed ``roughness'' of convergence toward $η$. More precisely, after introducing the corresponding notions of cluster and...
Branch misprediction latency is one of the most important contributors to performance degradation and wasted energy consumption in a modern core. State-of-the-art predictors generally perform very well but occasionally suffer from high Misprediction Per Kilo Instruction due to hard-to-predict branches. In this work, we investigate if...
Compositionally complex solid solutions (CCSSs) consist of a randomly mixed single phase with the potential to enhance electrocatalytic activity through their polyelemental surface atom arrangements. However, microstructural complexity originating from multiple principal elements influences local structure, chemistry, and lattice...
Arabic spans over 30 spoken varieties, yet no open-source text-to-speech system unifies them. Key barriers include substantial cross-dialect lexical and phonological divergence, scarce synthesis-grade data, and the absence of a standardized multi-dialect evaluation benchmark. We present Habibi, a unified-dialectal Arabic TTS framework...
Drones operating in human-occupied spaces suffer from insufficient communication mechanisms that create uncertainty about their intentions. We present HoverAI, an embodied aerial agent that integrates drone mobility, infrastructure-independent visual projection, and real-time conversational AI into a unified platform. Equipped with a...
This paper develops a hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin method for the two-dimensional Camassa--Holm--Kadomtsev--Petviashvili equation. The method employs Cartesian meshes with tensor-product polynomial spaces, enabling separate treatment of \(x\) and \(y\) derivatives. The non-local operator \(\partial_{x}^{-1}u_{y}\) is localized...
In [1], a new modeling paradigm for developing rate-and-state-dependent, control-oriented friction models was introduced. The framework, termed Friction with Bristle Dynamics (FrBD), combines nonlinear analytical expressions for the friction coefficient with constitutive equations for bristle-like elements. Within the FrBD framework,...
Language-aligned vision foundation models perform strongly across diverse downstream tasks. Yet, their learned representations remain opaque, making interpreting their decision-making difficult. Recent work decompose these representations into human-interpretable concepts, but provide poor spatial grounding and are limited to image...
Composed Video Retrieval (CoVR) aims to retrieve a video based on a query video and a modifying text. Current CoVR methods fail to fully exploit modern Vision-Language Models (VLMs), either using outdated architectures or requiring computationally expensive fine-tuning and slow caption generation. We introduce PREGEN (PRE GENeration...
We show that for $q$-colorings in $k$-uniform hypergraphs with maximum degree $Δ$, if $k\ge 50$ and $q\ge 700Δ^{\frac{5}{k-10}}$, there is a "Lee-Yang" zero-free strip around the interval $[0,1]$ of the partition function, which includes the special case of uniform enumeration of hypergraph colorings. As an immediate consequence, we...
AIS data from ships is excellent for analyzing single-ship movements and monitoring all ships within a specific area. However, the AIS data needs to be cleaned, processed, and stored before being usable. This paper presents a system consisting of an efficient and modular ETL process for loading AIS data, as well as a distributed...
We introduce a unified framework for studying persistence phenomena in commutative algebra via filtrations of ideals. For a filtration $\mathcal{F} = \{I_i\}_{i \in \mathbb{N}}$, we define $\mathcal{F}$-persistence and $\mathcal{F}$-strong persistence, extending the classical notions for ordinary and symbolic powers of ideals. We show...
In this paper, we propose an ETA model (Estimated Time of Arrival) that leverages an attention mechanism over historical road speed patterns. As autonomous driving and intelligent transportation systems become increasingly prevalent, the need for accurate and reliable ETA estimation has grown, playing a vital role in navigation,...
The multimode bunching probability is expected to provide a useful criterion for validating boson sampling experiments. Its applicability, however, is challenged by the existence of anomalous bunching, namely paradoxical situations in which partially distinguishable particles exhibit a higher bunching probability in two or more modes...
Non-Hermitian physics has emerged as a rapidly advancing field of research, revealing a range of novel phenomena and potential applications. Traditional non-Hermitian Hamiltonians are typically simulated by constructing asymmetric couplings or by introducing dissipation and gain to realize non-Hermitian systems. The quadratic bosonic...
In this paper, we first introduce the concept of Nijenhuis BiHom-Lie algebras. We then establish the equivalence relations between the Manin triples of Nijenhuis BiHom-Lie algebras, Nijenhuis BiHom-Lie bialgebras, and matched pairs of Nijenhuis BiHom-Lie algebras. Furthermore, we show that such an equivalence also holds for...
In the last few years, considerable research efforts have focused on measuring and improving Starlink network performance, especially for user terminals (UTs) in stationary scenarios. However, the performance of Starlink networks in mobility settings, particularly with frequent changes in the UT's orientation, and the impact of...
Counterfactual explanations are widely used to interpret machine learning predictions by identifying minimal changes to input features that would alter a model's decision. However, most existing counterfactual methods have not been tested when model and data uncertainty change, resulting in explanations that may be unstable or invalid...
We investigate the dynamically generated $h_1$ state with spin-parity $J^P = 1^+$ and a mass around 1790~MeV, arising from the $K^* \bar{K}^*$ interaction within the chiral unitary approach. The partial decay widths into the $K_1(1270)\bar{K}$ and $b_1(1235)π$ channels are calculated via a triangular loop mechanism. In this mechanism,...
The fractional integral operators $I_α$ can be used to characterize the Musielak--Orlicz Hardy spaces. This paper shows that for $b\in \rm BMO(\mathbb R^n)$, the commutators $[b,I_α]$ generated by fractional integral operators $I_α$ with $b$ are bounded from the Musielak--Orlicz Hardy spaces $H^{\varphi_1}(\mathbb R^n)$ to the...
This paper proves that, in mean curvature flow of a compact surface in a complete $3$-manifold with Ricci curvature bounded below, the genus of the regular set is a decreasing function of time as long as the only singularities are given by shrinking sphere and shrinking cylinder tangent flows. The paper also proves some local versions...
We study the isentropic processes in a class of Anti de Sitter black holes coupled to non-linear electrodynamics. We demonstrate that such processes are classically forbidden but can proceed via quantum mechanical tunnelling. We compute the Euclidean action associated with the tunnelling process and analyze its dependence on the black...
Type Ia supernovae are a cornerstone of modern cosmology, providing first evidence for cosmic acceleration and new tests of dark energy. Son et al. 2025 (S25) claim a strong redshift evolution in standardized supernova luminosities driven by supernova progenitor age, with dramatic cosmological implications: rapidly evolving dark...
We propose a frequentist adaptive phase 2 trial design to evaluate the safety and efficacy of three treatment regimens (doses) compared to placebo for four types of helminth (worm) infections. This trial will be carried out in four Subsaharan African countries from spring 2025. Since the safety of the highest dose is not yet...
