This paper presents a generic method for transforming the source code of various algorithms to numerical embeddings, by dynamically analysing the behaviour of computer programs against different inputs and by tailoring multiple generic complexity functions for the analysed metrics. The used algorithms embeddings are based on...
The quadratic complexity of self-attention mechanism presents a significant impediment to applying Transformer models to long sequences. This work explores computational principles derived from astrocytes-glial cells critical for biological memory and synaptic modulation-as a complementary approach to conventional architectural...
Standard simulations of the Iterated Prisoners Dilemma (IPD) operate in deterministic, noise-free environments, producing strategies that may be theoretically optimal but fragile when confronted with real-world uncertainty. This paper addresses two critical gaps in evolutionary game theory research: (1) the absence of realistic...
Recent reinforcement learning has enhanced the flow matching models on human preference alignment. While stochastic sampling enables the exploration of denoising directions, existing methods which optimize over multiple denoising steps suffer from sparse and ambiguous reward signals. We observe that the high entropy steps enable more...
In recent years, the advancement of AI technologies has accelerated the development of smart factories. In particular, the automatic monitoring of product assembly progress is crucial for improving operational efficiency, minimizing the cost of discarded parts, and maximizing factory productivity. However, in cases where assembly...
This paper explores how semantic-space reasoning, traditionally used in computational linguistics, can be extended to tactical decision-making in team sports. Building on the analogy between texts and teams -- where players act as words and collective play conveys meaning -- the proposed methodology models tactical configurations as...
Container image pulling accounts for the majority of pod startup time in Kubernetes environments. Standard pull downloads the entire image before the container can start, even when the application accesses only a fraction of the image content at startup. We present SOCI (Seekable OCI), a lazy-loading architecture that enables...
We give randomized $(5+ε)$-approximation algorithms for both the continuous and discrete Fréchet distances on arbitrary two polygonal curves $τ$ and $σ$ in $\mathbb R^d$ for fixed $d$, with $n$ and $m\le n$ vertices respectively. Our algorithm for continuous Fréchet runs in $\widetilde O_{d,ε}(n m^{8/9})$ time, and our algorithm for...
Ransomware poses an escalating cybersecurity threat as attackers continuously modify behavioral patterns to evade static defenses. Although existing machine learning-based detectors often achieve strong predictive performance, they generally assume fixed training data and do not support the selective removal of previously learned...
Prior work suggests that diffusion representations capture low-level geometry but struggle with high-level semantics. We demonstrate that state-of-the-art video diffusion models overcome this limitation. By systematically probing their intermediate activations using recent mutual-kNN alignment metrics, we reveal a highly structured...
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly applied to reverse-engineering tasks, and recent threat-intelligence reporting shows them operating inside live offensive-security workflows. Claims about their capability, however, outpace our ability to measure it. Existing benchmarks for LLM-assisted binary analysis treat the...
On-policy distillation is a practical post-training recipe for large language models, supplying dense teacher supervision on the student's own trajectories. In privileged-context self-distillation, teacher and student are the same model conditioned on the same prefix, but the teacher also sees a hint or the full solution trace. This...
Reinforcement learning agents for imperfect-information card games are only as strong as the opponents they train against, and they are hard to grade, since they beat a random opponent over 99 percent of the time and only tie copies of themselves. So we build a strong, fixed, rule-based expert for Gin Rummy and use it only as a...
The parameterized Minimum Monotone Satisfying Assignment ($k$-MMSA) problem asks whether a monotone Boolean circuit admits a satisfying assignment of Hamming weight at most $k$. The MMSA hierarchy is defined by allowing a bounded number of alternations between AND and OR gates in the circuit. While the polynomial-time approximability...
