Recent work on chain-of-thought (CoT) faithfulness reports single aggregate numbers (e.g., DeepSeek-R1 acknowledges hints 39% of the time), implying that faithfulness is an objective, measurable prope...
Financial return forecasting is a difficult test case for time-series foundation models (TSFMs) due to low signal-to-noise ratios, structural breaks, heavy tails, and weak persistence. This paper benc...
Equivalence testing compares the hypothesis that an effect $μ$ is large against the alternative that it is negligible. Here, `large' is classically expressed as being larger than some `equivalence mar...
5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is a first-line chemotherapeutic agent for solid tumors, but its clinical application is severely limited by dose-dependent intestinal injury that impairs patient quality of life...
Predicting customers' long-term revenue from sparse and irregular transaction data is central to marketing resource allocation in non-contractual settings, yet existing approaches face a trade-off. Tr...
Large language models (LLMs) have become increasingly useful computational models of human language processing, but it remains unclear whether vision-language learning makes text representations more ...
The escalating threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has created an urgent need for new antimicrobial agents. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are promising alternatives to conventional antibiotics du...
Empirical correlation matrices estimated from financial return time series are contaminated by statistical noise arising from finite sample size, obscuring genuine interactions among assets. We apply ...
Translational medicine turns underspecified development goals into evidence synthesis that must combine literature, trials, patents, and quantitative multi-omics analysis while preserving identifiers,...
Improving boarding efficiency reduces airplane turnaround time and improves passenger experience. Airlines typically assign passengers to a few sequential boarding groups using static seat-based rules...
This paper proposes a synthetic control (SC) framework for the estimation of conditional distributional treatment effects. Identification rests on a parallel trends condition formulated in the paramet...
Plastic pollution poses a growing threat to marine biodiversity, and its biological effects may vary with particle size. Early life stages of the Atlantic horseshoe crab, Limulus polyphemus, inhabit c...
Passive models for long video understanding typically rely on a "watch-it-all" paradigm, processing frames uniformly regardless of query difficulty, causing computational cost to grow with video durat...
The seminal work of Goldreich and Ron (\textit{Combinatorica, 1999}) showed that bipartiteness of bounded-degree graphs can be tested using $O(\sqrt{n\log n})$ random walks of length $O(\log^{6} n)$. ...
Current automated pipelines for audio-visual Question Answering (QA) generally adopt a ``video-caption-QA'' paradigm. However, these methods typically segment videos into short clips and generate sepa...
We establish new exponential in dimension lower bounds for the Maximum Halfspace Discrepancy problem, which models linear classification. Both are fundamental problems in computational geometry and ma...
In this paper, we develop a stratification-based semantics for Signal Temporal Logic (STL) in which each atomic predicate is interpreted as a membership test in a stratified space. This perspective re...
To obtain more accurate model parameters and improve prediction accuracy, we proposed a regularized Kriging model that penalizes the hyperparameter theta in the Gaussian stochastic process, termed the...
Human collective participation is rarely steady in time: it is bursty, with short episodes of intense activity separated by long quiet intervals. In crisis response and community mobilization, predict...
Brain activity spans single-neuron, population, and network levels, and core questions in neural coding require moving between them. Yet current tools target a single paradigm and incompatible data fo...
