We give a complete characterization of the (purely infinite) simplicity of Katsura algebras and the associated Steinberg algebras. This is achieved by characterizing when the singular ideals vanish via the self-similar groupoid model derived from Exel and Pardo. Analogous results are given for the algebras arising from the faithful...
We consider the space of $(n-1)$-colored graphs on a fixed set of $N$ vertices. Each edge position of the complete graph $K_N$ has $n$ possible states: the absence of an edge and $n-1$ colors. This gives a natural identification of the space of such graphs with the tensor power $(\mathbb C^n)^{\otimes m}$, where $m=\binom N2$, and...
Integral Field Spectroscopy provides simultaneous spatial and spectral information, making it a powerful technique for studying both point like and extended astronomical sources. As part of our effort to develop a compact Integral Field Spectrograph (IFS) for optical astronomy, we have designed and realized a fiber based prototype...
City-scale outdoor navigation is currently hindered by the heavy reliance on dense maps or costly navigation supervision. In this work, we introduce a novel paradigm for leveraging directional instructions from commercial navigation tools (e.g., Google Maps). To bridge the gap between commercial instructions and executable navigation...
Product formulas are among the most practical approaches to Hamiltonian simulation, requiring no ancillary qubits and exhibiting error bounds governed by nested commutators rather than only by Hamiltonian norms. Their circuit size, however, scales polynomially with the inverse precision. We develop a high-order nested-commutator...
SLAM methods based on 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) have demonstrated impressive tracking and mapping performance, but typically require additional geometric information from external depth sensors. Meanwhile, recent SLAM systems that leverage geometric priors from pre-trained feed-forward models enable real-time dense reconstruction,...
Content Addressable Memory (CAM) is an important memory paradigm, which performs fast search by comparing an input query against all stored entries in parallel, achieving $O(1)$ lookup complexity. CAM is typically built upon conventional memory technologies, such as SRAM and Non-Volatile Memory (NVM). Accordingly, CAM can also be...
Zero-shot instrument cloning aims to render an arbitrary [Target MIDI] sequence with the acoustic identity of an unseen instrument given only a short [Reference Audio, Reference MIDI] pair. Existing methods rely on pre-trained embeddings (e.g., CLAP) that compress the reference audio into a fixed-length vector, discarding fine-grained...
Computer use agents (CUAs) are emerging as a powerful interface for automating complex digital workflows through visual perception and GUI execution. Online reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) has emerged as a key direction for scaling their capabilities. However, this paradigm is bottlenecked by verifiable data...
Prediction markets are starting to look less like crowd polls and more like electronic markets. The central question is therefore no longer only whether these markets forecast well, but what happens when institutional liquidity enters: do spreads tighten, does price discovery improve, and do those gains actually reach the traders who...
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) significantly enhances the ability of Large Language Models (LLMs) to provide accurate and contextually relevant answers by dynamically integrating external databases. However, traditional RAG methods are primarily constrained by their reliance on text-based retrieval strategies, which often...
The rapid expansion of capabilities in Large Language Model (LLM) agents has exposed a critical architectural bottleneck: when agents are given access to a flat, monolithic registry of tools, the model must evaluate hundreds or thousands of options simultaneously. This leads to decision-space explosion, context window saturation, and...
Changepoint detection methods have seen considerable development in recent years, with online algorithms capable of identifying structural changes in streaming data in near real time. However, the majority of existing methods are designed under the assumption of IID observations, rendering them susceptible to either more false...
Mendelian randomization (MR) is a widely used approach for inferring causal effects of exposures on outcomes using genetic variants as instrumental variables; however, existing methods remain vulnerable to bias and/or loss of power in the presence of invalid instruments. We hypothesize that closely related outcome traits are likely to...
Hawkes processes (HP) are a large class of stochastic point process models scientists have used to analyze contagion phenomena ranging from earthquakes, infectious diseases and biological neurons to financial trading activity, memes on social media and gun violence. We introduce applications of HP to the latter before reviewing...
Gene regulatory networks (GRNs) link transcription factor (TF) proteins to their target genes, yet reconstructing these networks from genome-wide data remains challenging under practical and methodological constraints. Many methods couple modeling assumptions to a specific inference procedure and rely on heuristic model selection,...
A foundational principle in nonlinear dynamics is that the structure of a dynamical system can be recovered from a small number of generic measurements or coordinates. We develop an analogous principle for the identification of dynamic models for time series {\em with noise}, which builds on previous identification results for...
A new approach for nonparametric estimation of the quantile density function (sparsity function) and its derivatives is suggested which is based on local polynomial estimation. The estimator has more advantageous properties at the boundaries than classical quantile density estimators. Asymptotic normality is shown and the bias,...
This work presents a game-theoretic framework for interpretable hyperparameter-objective interaction analysis rather than proposing a new optimization algorithm. In the proposed framework, Shapley Effects are employed for global sensitivity analysis, while Pareto front sets are utilized to identify effective hyperparameter...
We study aggregation of statistical evidence under unknown and potentially complex dependence using group-invariance. Building on permutation-based constructions that treat transformed datasets as exchangeable units, we aggregate evidence across statistics for each transformed dataset and calibrate the resulting aggregates across...
Standard industry classification systems such as GICS assign each firm to a single sector, but the economic relationships through which shocks propagate, such as supplier agreements, customer concentration, intellectual property licensing, cloud service dependencies, and power purchase contracts frequently cross sector boundaries and...
In this paper, we propose a new thresholding technique for detecting anomalies in multivariate normal random samples, under the assumption that anomalous observations are sparse and differ from the rest of the data in their mean. The mean vector of the non-anomalous data is assumed to be zero, while the covariance matrix is unknown....
Predictive models deployed at scale influence future data, a phenomenon called performativity. And there is always one way to cope: Train the model on new data, deploy it again, and repeat. This process, called retraining or repeated risk minimization, creates a feedback loop between model and data that real-world learning systems...
Hallucinations and artificial text in LLM-generated outputs often appear as distributional deviations between prompt and response hidden-state distributions. Since prompts or retrieved contexts typically serve as reference samples and responses as query samples, with major differences in length, these asymmetries motivate the use of...
Synthetic sequential tabular data are increasingly used for privacy-preserving data sharing, yet a generator can reproduce every marginal and every foreign-key relationship while emitting timestamps that run backwards or repeat, and while sending entities along paths that no real entity followed. Conventional tabular evaluation, which...
