EEG foundation models pretrained on thousands of hours have shown large gains over task-specific networks for motor imagery, seizure detection, sleep staging, and emotion recognition, but their transfer to speech decoding-arguably the most…
Large language model (LLM) agents autonomously interleave semantic reasoning with complex system operations. In these dynamic environments, static tool-level permissions are fundamentally insufficient; safe authorization is highly…
We propose a statistical methodology that quantifies the similarity of typefaces between printed historical books. This provides a tool that accelerates philological analysis. Using character prototypes derived from clustering and aligning…
Real-time bidding is central to computational advertising, comprising three elements: Supply Side Platform (SSP) selling ad impressions, Demand Side Platform (DSP) bidding for advertisers, and Ad Exchange conducting auctions between them.…
A tree cover of an $n$-point metric space is a collection of $k$ dominating trees such that every pairwise distance is approximately preserved by at least one tree. The best known general upper bound on the distortion is…
Most benchmarks for causal inference over time series are observational, small, or domain-specific, leaving interventional and counterfactual estimation under-served exactly where it matters most, such as in healthcare, policy evaluation,…
Variational quantum algorithms often encounter barren plateaus, where cost gradients decay rapidly with increasing circuit depth, undermining the trainability of parameterized quantum circuits. This paper evaluates AdaInit (Adaptive…
Visuomotor imitation learning has demonstrated success for manipulation tasks. However, the trained policies remain brittle to visual `nuisances', with even minor task-preserving variations such as lighting, distractions or changes in…
Multimodal continual learning (MMCL) aims to learn emerging knowledge from multimodal data while preserving knowledge. To mitigate forgetting, current MMCL methods usually focus on cross-modal representation alignment or semantic…
Modern integrated circuits (ICs) are becoming increasingly complex, making functional verification a major bottleneck. The dominant hardware formal verification methodology, model checking, verifies each design instance separately and…
Plant biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) encode specialized-metabolite pathways, yet curated plant BGC labels remain scarce, hindering supervised discovery at genome scale. Existing plant BGC mining tools are largely signature- and…
We investigate magnetic breakdown near Van Hove singularities (VHSs) in the electron-doped rhombohedral tetralayer graphene, where chiral superconductivity has recently been reported. Using the noninteracting band structure and Kubo…
Topological data analysis (TDA) provides a powerful framework for extracting information about the shape of complex, unstructured data, but the classical cost of computing high dimensional topological features limits its application.…
Vision-language-action (VLA) models commonly adopt an LLM-centric $V \to L \to A$ pathway, where visual observations are projected into the representation space of a large language model before being decoded into robot actions. Although…
Modular quantum computing is a leading paradigm for scaling quantum computation beyond the resource limitations of monolithic devices. In this architecture, multiple quantum processing units (QPUs), employing identical or distinct qubit…
Pre-training followed by fine-tuning has become the dominant recipe for learning performant policies, and in value-based reinforcement learning (RL) this raises a natural question: given a pretrained policy, should the Q-function be…
Recently, a fit of charmless $B\to PP$ decays ($B \in \{B^0, B^+, B_s^0\}$, $P \in \{ \pi, K, \eta, \eta' \}$) to the latest data was performed under the assumption of flavour SU(3) symmetry [SU(3)$_F$]. It was found that there is a…
World models enable a predictive substrate for planning and action, yet existing formulations merely answer a physical question: what/where it is, and how will it evolve. Human behavior, however, is driven by hidden mental state (what a…
Flat-band materials host rich collective phenomena, yet a complete theory of their signatures in inelastic light scattering remains lacking. While naive theories of interacting flat bands would predict that Raman scattering vertices vanish…
For a finite nonempty subset $A$ of an abelian group, let $\sigma(A)=|A+A|/|A|$ and $\delta(A)=|A-A|/|A|$. The classical sum-difference inequalities state that $$\sigma(A)^{1/2}\leq\delta(A)\leq\sigma(A)^2.$$ The exponent $2$ in the second…
