High-dimensional dense text embeddings and large language models face real obstacles in financial-disclosure analysis: context-window limits, hallucination risk, high computational cost, and the arbitrary rotation of vector spaces across independently trained models. We present a training-free, alignment-free framework for corporate...
Language Gaussian fields implicitly assume that the primitive carrying semantics remains identifiable across views. This assumption breaks in scalable anchor-decoded representations, where persistent anchors generate view-conditioned child Gaussians whose geometry and appearance vary with the camera. We introduce Ours, a persistent...
This paper presents a novel approach for data-driven self-learning control of highly flexible, modular manufacturing systems. Specifically, we employ a novel framework for model-based reinforcement learning which introduces approximate inverse process models within the training of reinforcement policies. This approach disentangles the...
Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) enables secure computation on encrypted data, making it a promising solution for privacy-preserving applications in the cloud. Among various FHE schemes, FHE over the Torus (TFHE) stands out due to its support for arbitrary operations. However, its high computation and communication overhead,...
Generative artificial intelligence is entering transportation through traveler-facing advisories, synthetic crash-record generation, and policy decision support. Existing governance frameworks lack transport-specific statistical tools to measure distributional risks across heterogeneous populations. We develop a Distributional...
When forecasting a firm's future financial performance, alternative data - data collected from non-traditional sources such as consumer transactions, web traffic, and prediction markets - can provide timely signals about firms' operating activities and broader market conditions. These signals may reveal information that is not...
Gait recognition is commonly studied using RGB videos or their derived silhouettes and poses. Yet human walking produces heterogeneous photometric, geometric, and motion cues that cannot be systematically examined with RGB-centered benchmarks. We present MMGait, a large-scale multi-sensor benchmark that brings visible, infrared,...
A rotation system on $n$ elements assigns to each element a cyclic order of the other $n-1$ elements. A four-element subset is non-planar if its induced rotation system cannot be realized by a crossing-free drawing of $K_4$. As a combinatorial strengthening of Hill's conjecture on the crossing number of the complete graph, Archdeacon...
AI agents increasingly propose actions with external consequences, including financial transfers, infrastructure changes, software deployments, disclosures, and physical actuation. Authorization engines, policy languages, runtime monitors, provenance mechanisms, and agent guardrails provide important foundations, but do not...
We propose CHERI-D Reincarnate (Reinc), an architectural extension to CHERI for scalable and efficient temporal memory safety. Prior work CHERI-D has a finite-width generation ID stored at a fixed location, requiring an object to be quarantined when its ID is exhausted. Reinc further provides use-after-free mitigation while permitting...
Accurate identification of end-diastole (ED) and end-systole (ES) in echocardiography underpins the quantification of ventricular function, yet manual selection of these key frames is subjective and introduces clinically significant inter-operator variability. Recent self-supervised methods either prescribe strict periodic...
The rapid growth of artificial intelligence (AI) computing is transforming data centers into large, dynamic electrical loads. Their deployment is primarily constrained by energy availability and grid-connection capacity, which is further aggravated by the ability of power-delivery architectures, control systems, and computing...
Multivariate time series imputation (MTSI) aims to recover missing values in temporal data composed of multiple interdependent variables. This problem is central to real-world applications such as healthcare monitoring, traffic networks, and energy systems. Recent diffusion-based approaches have shown strong potential for...
Standard Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines often provide no reliable inference-time signal of whether retrieval succeeded; on ambiguous or out-of-scope queries, generation may then hallucinate. Motivated by a Czech nuclear-regulator deployment where data sensitivity precludes third-party LLM APIs, we compare three Query...
Neural audio codecs are a fundamental component of modern speech generation systems. While recent codecs achieve increasingly low bitrates, reducing frame rate remains challenging, as each token must preserve more information while maintaining reconstruction quality. We present ZipCodec, a streaming neural speech codec operating at...
The energy transition is reshaping residential electricity consumption through the increasing adoption of distributed generation, electrified appliances, and demand-response programs. Understanding these evolving behaviors requires access to granular smart-meter data for applications such as load forecasting, appliance detection, and...
We present Vidu S2, which comprises Vidu S2-Avatar, a real-time interactive digital-character model, and Vidu S2-Editing, a real-time video editing model. Moreover, we explore the feasibility of real-time spatial video generation for both Vidu S2-Avatar and Vidu S2-Editing. Compared with Vidu S1, Vidu S2-Avatar supports real-time 720p...
Domain practitioners understand their business constraints but may lack operations-research expertise or dedicated support. LLM-based optimization agents translate natural-language requirements into models or solver programs that established optimization tools can execute. This progress makes optimization more accessible, but...
Federated recommendation enables collaborative model training while keeping user interaction data on local clients. A central problem in federated recommendation is how to aggregate useful information across clients for personalized recommendation. Existing personalized aggregation methods usually construct client relations from...
Quantum measurements are conventionally optimized to maximize the average of a utility that depends on the true state and on the measurement outcome. However, when the outcome of the measurement is used as an action within a larger decision-making system, the average utility does not capture the risk of poor outcomes. This letter...
Existing airspace capacity metrics mainly quantify occupancy or flow, although the same number of aerial vehicles may result in different motion alternatives. This letter establishes \emph{mobility information capacity} as an information-theoretic measure for low-altitude wireless networks. It quantifies the maximum information that...
We construct counterexamples to Rockafellar's sum conjecture in which two maximally monotone operators satisfy the interior-domain condition but their sum is not maximally monotone. We give one counterexample on $c_0$ and another on $\ell^1$ with its usual norm. We establish a general construction theorem that computes the entire...
We give the first deterministic polynomial time algorithm that approximates the permanent of arbitrary nonnegative rational matrices within a subexponential factor. For a matrix of order $n$, the approximation factor is \[ \exp\!\left(O\!\left(\frac{n(\log\log n)^2}{\log n}\right)\right)=\exp(o(n)). \] All previously known...
In modern AI Accelerators and GPGPUs, many concurrent cores repeatedly access the same shared data. This pattern occurs in attention, where different query tiles share the same K/V block, GEMM, where every tile in a row reads the same panel, and many other operators. We name this pattern parallel scan. Due to a significant amount of...
Scientific workflow management (WMSs) systems automate execution, yet orchestrate using fixed, hand-tuned rules. LLM agents promise more autonomous orchestration, but it remains unclear where to introduce agentic reasoning, how to bound its risk, and when it actually helps. We present Avatar, an actor-based architecture comprising an...
