Popular language learning applications such as Duolingo use large language models (LLMs) to generate lessons for its users. Most lessons focus on general real-world scenarios such as greetings, orderi...
Current network data telemetry pipelines consist of massive streams of fine-grained Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) from multiple distributed sources towards central aggregators, making data storage...
We introduce FloeNet, a machine-learning emulator trained on the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory global sea ice model, SIS2. FloeNet is a mass-conserving model, emulating 6-hour mass and area bu...
The evidence on the effects of generative AI (GenAI) on critical thinking is mixed, with studies suggesting both potential harms and benefits depending on its implementation. Some argue that AI-driven...
When comparison units may also respond to treatment, panel comparisons reflect both the treatment effect and spillovers. If the interference pattern is unknown, observed outcomes alone do not separate...
Diffusion-based models decompose sampling into many small Gaussian denoising steps -- an assumption that breaks down when generation is compressed to a few coarse transitions. Existing few-step method...
We study masking diffusion for discrete sampling and introduce a path-resolved measure of data geometry called the \emph{unmasking growth complexity} ({\textsf{UGC}\xspace}). Its local increments dire...
Predictive policing systems that direct patrol resources based on algorithmically generated crime forecasts have been widely deployed across US cities, yet their tendency to encode and amplify racial ...
In this paper, we propose SpectraReward, a training-free reward function that turns pretrained MLLMs into off-the-shelf reward models for image-generation reinforcement learning. Instead of asking the...
Dynamical systems reconstruction (DSR) aims to learn surrogate models that capture the dynamics underlying time-series data. Reliably deploying these surrogates requires uncertainty estimates consiste...
Understanding non-genetic determinants of cell fate is critical for developing and improving cancer therapies, as genetically identical cells can exhibit divergent outcomes under the same treatment co...
The direct imaging of potentially habitable exoplanets is one prime science case for high-contrast imaging instruments on extremely large telescopes. Most such exoplanets orbit close to their host sta...
Inference-time scaling is a promising paradigm to improve generative models, especially when outputs must satisfy structural constraints or optimize downstream rewards. We consider Masked Diffusion Mo...
The blue shark (Prionace glauca) exhibits a striking dorsoventral color gradient, transitioning from vibrant blue dorsally to silver and white ventrally, a pattern widely interpreted as pelagic counte...
This study investigates whether the macroscopic statistical maturity of cryptocurrencies implies dynamical equivalence with traditional equity markets. We analyze high-frequency data (2020--2025) usin...
Generative models are commonly ranked by Fréchet Inception Distance (FID) and Kernel Inception Distance (KID), yet FID's first-two-moment summary can miss distributional differences, and a reported sc...
MASTER's inter-stock multi-head attention -- the module responsible for modeling cross-sectional stock relationships -- accounts for 42.5% of model parameters and 25% of predictive value. We systemati...
Discrete diffusion models offer a promising alternative to autoregressive generation by enabling parallel updates, but their sampling efficiency can depend strongly on the choice of the forward proces...
Accurate estimation of aerodynamic state variables such as freestream velocity and angle of attack (AoA) is important for aerodynamic load prediction, flight control, and model validation. This work p...
Unified Multimodal Models (UMMs) have emerged as a promising paradigm that integrates multimodal understanding and generation within a unified modeling framework. However, current generative training ...
