Language models must now generalize out of the box to novel environments and work inside inference-scaling search procedures, such as AlphaEvolve, that select rollouts with a variety of task-specific ...
Evidence-grounded reasoning requires more than attaching retrieved text to a prediction: a model should make decisions that depend on whether the provided evidence supports the target claim. In practi...
Understanding what individual neurons encode is a core question in neuroscience. In primary visual cortex (V1), mathematical models (e.g., Gabor functions) capture neural selectivity, but no comparabl...
Generative AI is fast becoming the first place people turn for expert advice. The advice it provides can be directional rather than neutral, shaped in part by the choices of its designers and regulato...
We estimate Kyle's (1985) price-impact coefficient $λ$ directly from daily equity order flow and test its ability to forecast the cross-section of subsequent stock returns. Using CRSP data from 2020 t...
We propose a signature-induced, optimal transport framework for path-space model risk, in which ambiguity between stochastic path laws is factorized through optimal transport costs on signature coordi...
The shortest common superstring problem is to find the shortest string that contains every string in a given set as a substring. It is conjectured that the greedy algorithm that repeatedly selects a p...
Prior work shows that large language models (LLMs) exhibit introspective capability on benign tasks. We extend the question to safety contexts and examine how reliably a model can recognize that its o...
Multinomial probit choice probabilities over n alternatives are Gaussian orthant integrals, computed by simulation for thirty years, one expensive integral per alternative. Inversion, which is to say ...
Chemistry literature synthesis often requires assembling specific findings scattered across many publications, yet existing literature-search systems primarily return ranked document lists. As a resul...
This article proposes an online bootstrap scheme for nonparametric level estimation in nonstationary time series. Our approach applies to a broad class of level estimators expressible as weighted samp...
Interstellar objects (ISOs) motivate a coupled mission-design and inference question relevant to spacecraft dynamics and control in extreme environments: if volatile-rich, rotating comet-like bodies w...
We consider a variant of sequential testing by betting where, at each time step, the statistician is presented with multiple data sources (arms) and obtains data by choosing one of the arms. We consid...
Multi-shot video generation is crucial for long narrative storytelling, yet current bidirectional architectures suffer from limited interactivity and high latency. We propose ShotStream, a novel causa...
Statistical practice does not automatically follow methodological innovation. Regularization methods, widely advocated to reduce overfitting and stabilize inference, are readily available in modern so...
Background: Both between- and within-subject variations in circadian timing matter for health. If lifestyle changes could be used to regulate circadian timing, they would offer accessible and scalable...
Estimating time-varying correlation matrices is challenging because existing methods may adapt slowly to structural changes, impose insufficient regularization, or produce diffuse posterior uncertaint...
This paper develops a methodological framework for reverse stress testing (RST) in which a multivariate stress scenario, coherent with the empirical dependence structure of a market, is reconstructed ...
Predicting the effects of chemical and genetic perturbations on quantitative cell states is a central challenge in computational biology, molecular medicine and drug discovery. Recent work has leverag...
Ask a pretrained biomedical language model whether "cortisol 28 ug/dL" and "stock-market volatility" are related, and it returns a cosine similarity of 0.83 on a scale where 1.0 means identical. The t...
