We prove the gap-entropy conjecture for fixed-confidence best-arm identification with independent unit-variance Gaussian arms, means in $[0,1]$, and a unique optimal arm. For each suboptimal arm $i$, ...
Reasoning models have advanced rapidly, but the dominant reinforcement learning from verifiable rewards (RLVR) recipe remains surprisingly narrow: sample many responses and reward each with a single b...
We identify a robust structural signature of stock markets during exogenous shock events by analyzing collective return dynamics across G5 countries. Using Random Matrix Theory, we introduce the compl...
We extend the work of Roychowdhury (2026) on skewness variations of the logarithmic flux, driven by large GeV flares in FSRQs, to a sample of 18 FSRQs. We find that they can be categorized into three ...
Deep learning models often struggle under natural distribution shifts, a common challenge in real-world deployments. Test-Time Adaptation (TTA) addresses this by adapting models during inference witho...
Models of bounded rationality include quantum--like (QL) models, which use Hilbert--space amplitudes to represent context and order effects, and entropy--regularised (ER) models, including rational in...
Short tandem repeats (STRs) are low-entropy regions in the genome, consisting of a short (1-6 bp) unit that is consecutively repeated multiple times. They are known for high mutational instability, du...
The protection of Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems (VMEs) is a priority for ecosystem-based fisheries management in the Mediterranean Sea. The bamboo coral Isidella elongata forms complex habitats that ar...
We present a physics-based neural network framework for the discovery of constitutive models in fully coupled thermomechanics. In contrast to classical formulations based on the Helmholtz energy, we a...
Long video understanding remains challenging for Multi-modal Large Language Models (MLLMs) due to high memory costs and context-length limits. Prior approaches mitigate this by scoring and selecting f...
