arXiv:2608.20516v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Joint-embedding predictive architectures are selected almost universally by linear probing and effective rank. We report a case where both read healthily while the representation carries zero usable instance information. We repair it, and a second…
arXiv:2606.02507v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Inverse materials design is shifting materials discovery from forward prediction toward targeted proposal of candidates that satisfy objectives under physical constraints. Here, we review advances in generative crystal structure modeling, multimodal learning, and closed-loop design…
arXiv:2608.20442v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Subliminal trait transfer allows a student model to acquire behavioral dispositions from teacher-generated data in which the trait is not semantically expressed. Recent work explains how such signals enter gradients, but not how they survive…
arXiv:2608.20488v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI tools increasingly support tasks across the scientific research cycle, from experiment design and manuscript preparation to peer review. At the same time, the continuing growth in conference submissions has increased the burden on meta-reviewers,…
arXiv:2602.09716v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Computing the importance of nodes in networks is a long-standing fundamental problem that has driven extensive study of various centrality measures. A particularly well-known centrality measure is betweenness centrality, whose exact computation becomes prohibitive on…
arXiv:2608.21134v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deploying vision-language models (VLMs) on mobile devices is challenging due to their significant memory and compute requirements. We present a framework for quantizing VLMs for efficient inference on resource-constrained hardware. Our approach combines a quantization…
arXiv:2608.20445v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Kernel density estimation converts finite samples into probability densities, but its performance depends critically on bandwidth selection. Classical selectors prescribe the sample-to-bandwidth rule analytically or asymptotically, or solve a new optimization for each sample. An…
arXiv:2510.12734v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Variable importance (VI) methods are often used for hypothesis generation, feature selection, and scientific validation. In the standard VI pipeline, an analyst estimates VI for a single predictive model with only the observed features. However,…
arXiv:2608.20497v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deploying high-accuracy neural networks on resource-constrained edge devices remains challenging, as existing approaches treat training, compression, and hardware synthesis as separate stages, leaving a gap between software-trained models and efficient end-to-end deployment with limited support…
arXiv:2608.20566v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI agents extend large language models from single prompt-response interactions to long-running, goaldirected workflows that issue many model calls, invoke tools, and interact with external environments. These workflows enable tasks such as software repair, data…
