Gisin has provided an argument for the conclusion that no covariant nonlocal model can reproduce the operational statistics observed in Bell experiments. Gisin's argument applies only to deterministic models and we argue that proposed generalizations of the argument beyond determinism based solely on statistical notions are...
Surface lattice resonances (SLRs) are collective polaritonic excitations in nanoparticle arrays, with band-edge states enabling symmetry-based control of radiation including scattering, photoluminescence, conventional and polariton lasing, and condensation. Here, we show that the integer pseudoangular momentum (PAM) of...
Probabilistic modeling of physical fields benefits from both a data-driven prior and known physical structure such as the governing equations. Energy-based models (EBMs) are a natural fit since energies compose additively, which enables augmenting physics information during inference. However, EBMs have been difficult to train and...
We develop parametric Entropic Value-at-Risk (EVaR) portfolio optimization for tempered stable Lévy returns. We derive portfolio cumulant-generating functions and weight-dependent admissible moment-generating-function domains under two multivariate constructions: a multivariate normal tempered stable approach and an independent...
We develop simulation-based policy iteration for continuous-time portfolio choice with predictable returns and convex constraints. Each outer step re-evaluates a fixed-latent OL-BPTT adjoint after deployment and solves the constrained update. Shifted-adjoint cancellation controls the adjoint--HJB Hamiltonian-gradient discrepancy by...
Credit decisioning is a high-stakes task in which model outputs must be accurate and explainable to support compliant decisions. Although modern credit risk models such as eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) and Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) improve predictive performance, their explanations are often too technical for stakeholders...
This paper considers European multi-asset option pricing under Lévy and affine characteristic-function models. The main obstruction is the curse of dimensionality: direct multidimensional COS pricing forms tensor-product coefficient arrays whose size grows exponentially with the number of assets. We study and extend COS-TT-CHF, a...
We present in this article a non-parametric value-at-risk (VaR+CVaR) algorithm that remains accurate for an arbitrarily large number of underlying positions. The algorithm solves the two inherent problems of VaR estimation. First, past history is not directly applicable to the future, but all predictions of the future are based on the...
AI agents increasingly perform knowledge work (i.e., produce and modify persistent digital artifacts such as code repositories, documents, spreadsheets, slides, reports), yet the parsed views they search, the native files they edit, the changes they review, and the artifacts they submit can refer to different versions of the same work...
We formulate an approximate Cauchy-Schwarz inequality and show that it is satisfied by solutions to the Sherali-Adams linear programming hierarchy (interpreted as ``pseudo-distributions''). As a consequence, we resolve a question left open by the work of O'Donnell and Schramm [OS19] that they had explicitly attributed to the lack of...
Language has two parameters. Count how often words occur together and you estimate amplitude, the strength of association. Word embeddings and attention weights refine that count, which sums every writer in the corpus together. This paper claims a second parameter, phase, which signed weights learned from a corpus do not supply. Phase...
Sampling from a diffusion model typically requires many forward passes through a large neural network, making generation computationally expensive. While much work has focused on efficient solvers and samplers, comparatively little attention has been paid to selecting the sampling timesteps themselves. A recent line of work optimizes...
MongoDB maintains client libraries in a dozen programming languages, used by tens of thousands of organizations and millions of developers. Most are implemented natively rather than as wrappers around a shared core. Ensuring consistent behavior across these libraries, comprising millions of lines of code, is hard but essential. Over...
Traffic elements such as traffic lights and road signs play a fundamental role in human driving decisions and should naturally influence end-to-end driving performance. However, existing end-to-end driving research predominantly focuses on dynamic road participants (e.g., vehicles and pedestrians), while the role of traffic elements...
Academic surveys play a central role in organizing rapidly expanding scholarly literature, yet their construction requires extensive paper analysis, coherent knowledge organization, fine-grained citation support, and reliable manuscript assembly. Existing Deep Research and automated survey generation systems address parts of this...
Categorising invoices into the correct General Ledger (GL) code underpins financial reporting and tax compliance. This is a skilled accounting judgement rather than a routine task: the correct category depends subtly on the nature of the purchasing business, the vendor and the invoice text. Whilst AI is increasingly being adopted...
A popular class of Byzantine fault-tolerant atomic broadcast protocols rely on directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) that represent causal relations between broadcast messages. Each process applies a protocol-specific \emph{commit rule} on its local DAG to determine which vertices can be delivered in a total order. Intuitively, commit rules...
Initialization-free bundle adjustment (InitFree BA) aims to recover camera poses and scene structure directly from image observations, avoiding the geometric initialization stages of conventional structure-from-motion pipelines. Recent methods based on Object-Space Error (OSE) formulations and Variable Projection (VarPro) show...
Humans continuously learn from experience, whereas conventional large language model (LLM) evaluations ignore the models' ability to improve through inference-time interaction. In this paper, we study how LLMs learn from iterative experience at test time, a setting we refer to as Chain-of-Experience (CoE), where models accumulate...
Large-scale, high-dimensional tabular regression remains challenging: tree-based models are robust but lack end-to-end representation learning, while deep models enable flexible feature learning but often incur costly interaction modeling and sensitivity to noisy or redundant features. We propose TabNSM, a scalable regression...
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has transformed the treatment of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (B-ALL). Despite high initial response rates, a substantial fraction of patients relapse, often due to loss of CAR T-cell persistence, antigen escape, or immune-privileged sites that shield tumour cells. Prolonged CAR...
Single-particle cryo-electron microscopy images a macromolecule as many noisy tomographic projections of its electrostatic potential. We reconstruct the protein backbone directly from such projections, as an atomic point cloud, without the intermediate step of reconstructing the 3D electrostatic potential map. We formulate this as an...
Preterm birth remains a major cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Electrohysterography (EHG), a noninvasive measure of uterine myoelectrical activity, has been studied for preterm-birth prediction, but performance estimates may be biased when segments from the same maternal record are split across training and...
Biological networks feature recurring motifs, but their uneven abundance remains poorly understood. Feed-forward loops (FFLs) are important motifs in the transcriptional networks of \textit{Escherichia coli} and \textit{Saccharomyces cerevisiae}, yet their eight types appear in highly unequal frequencies. This study presents an...
Motivation: Low-dimensional embeddings are widely used to explore cell-state heterogeneity in single-cell and other high-dimensional biological data. Although many methods preserve local neighborhoods, they may distort the apparent sampling density of processed observations, altering the visual contrast between dense and sparse...
