Expressive piano performance depends on the sustain (damper) pedal, operated by foot, excluding players who cannot readily use their feet: wheelchair users and others with lower-limb impairments, small children, and some elderly or disabled…
Modern machine learning pipelines increasingly rely on reusing pretrained and foundation models across downstream tasks. These pretrained models can differ not only in performance but also in how they can be used: some only provide…
Leveraged event positions combine a repayable loan with an outcome claim that may become non-tradable before oracle payout is final. This paper specifies Axient, a physically backed margin layer for binary event markets that separates…
Achieving continual learning (CL) with deep neural networks requires balancing stability and plasticity while enabling knowledge transfer. In this work, we focus on offline learning algorithms under the constraints: (I) no access to…
Particle systems are widely used in digital entertainment to create dynamic scene elements and visual effects. However, authoring high-quality particle effects remains labor-intensive and demands specialized expertise, requiring…
We prove a Thullen-type extension theorem for hermitian bundles with Nakano semi-positive curvature. As an intermediate result we establish the $L^2$-estimates for the $\dbar$-equation in hermitian vector bundles over a non-complete…
The spatial distribution of metals in the intracluster medium (ICM) is a sensitive tracer of the chemical and dynamical history of galaxy clusters. While most cool-core (CC) clusters exhibit a centrally peaked Fe abundance profile, several…
The target representation defines the distribution an image generator must learn, yet it is often treated as an interchangeable interface. This assumption is particularly questionable for continuous masked generators, which combine…
Motion planning in dynamic environments is a fundamental problem in robotics, aiming to generate safe and efficient paths, trajectories, or control actions in the presence of moving obstacles, uncertain predictions, and multi-agent…
Recent work suggests that token-level perplexity from large language models can align with localized human confusion during code comprehension. This raises a natural question: can perplexity also serve as a snippet-level signal for code…
Multimodal-attributed graphs (MAGs), where nodes carry heterogeneous semantic content across multiple modalities while edges encode relational dependencies, have been widely adopted across diverse domains. Federated multimodal graph…
Language models (LMs) often acquire various biases during pre-training and may express them in interactions, potentially causing social harm. Existing methods often rely on counterfactual augmentation or representation projection. These…
Multimodal-attributed graphs (MAGs), whose nodes carry heterogeneous attributes such as text and images over a relational structure, have become a fundamental substrate for label-free entity grouping tasks, including community discovery and…
Spatially reconfigurable antenna systems (SRASs) are recognized as a key physical-layer technology for sixth-generation (6G) systems. By dynamically adjusting each antenna element's spatial configuration, e.g., position and orientation,…
Ellerman bombs (EBs) are widely recognized as photospheric and chromospheric signatures of magnetic reconnection. However, the three-dimensional (3D) magnetic topology has remained elusive due to the lack of seamless height coverage in…
An event is usually regarded as a zero-dimensional coordinate label in spacetime, rather than as an object with spatial extent, internal structure or topology. Here we show that in nonlinear photonic spacetime crystals, a complete…
Many physical attributes are \emph{irreversible}: ice melts but does not re-freeze, paper chars but does not un-burn. Do video generators respect this? We show the question is hard to measure, and that what can be measured reliably is…
We propose an arbitrage-aware latent flow-matching framework for unconditional implied volatility surface generation. The method first compresses high-dimensional surfaces into a low-dimensional latent space using a variational autoencoder…
Boyd conjectured that the Mahler measure of $P_k(x,y)=x+y+\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}+k$ for $k$ an integer, is given by $r_kL'(E_k,0)$, where $E_k$ is the elliptic curve associated to the zero locus of $P_k$ and $r_k$ is a rational number. We…
Business-to-business meeting scheduling assigns requested pairwise meetings to time slots and locations under availability, capacity, conflict, and precedence constraints. The published Boolean formulation retains meeting-slot assignments…
