A 1000-hour EEG-EMG-audio dataset of Japanese speech production
arXiv:2606.01264v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present a multimodal dataset of 1020 hours of simultaneously recorded scalp electroencephalography (EEG), facial electromyography (EMG), and speech audio from three healthy native Japanese speakers during open-vocabulary overt speech. Recordings were acquired with three EEG systems-an ultra-high-density system (g.Pangolin) and two cap-type systems (g.SCARABEO and eegosports), spanning 62-128 channels-across many sessions over several months. Each session provides time-synchronized EEG, facial EMG, and audio, together with speech-event annotations and transcriptions. Although collected with speech decoding as a primary motivation, the dataset also supports work on multimodal signal processing, artifact modeling, longitudinal and cross-device adaptation, and EEG representation learning. Technical validation included power spectral density and event-related potential analyses across participants, devices, and tasks, which showed the expected 1/f spectral profile, task-related alpha-band attenuation, and time-locked evoked responses. The dataset is released in Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS) format via OpenNeuro under a CC0 waiver to support both speech-related and broader EEG research.
The TPTP Format for Interpretations
arXiv:2406.06108v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: This paper describes the TPTP format for representing interpretations. It provides a background survey that helped ensure that the representation format is adequate for different types of interpretations: Tarskian, Herbrand, and Kripke interpretations. The needs of applications that use models are considered. The syntax and semantics of the format are expounded in detail, with multiple examples. Verification of models is discussed. Some tools that support processing the format are noted. The properties of interpretations represented in the format are discussed.
Chatterbox-Flash: Prior-Calibrated Block Diffusion for Streaming Zero-Shot TTS
arXiv:2605.30748v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We present Chatterbox-Flash, a zero-shot text-to-speech model obtained by fine-tuning a pretrained autoregressive TTS decoder into a block-diffusion decoder, enabling parallel token generation within each block while retaining block-by-block streaming. We find that naively transferring mainstream block-diffusion decoding to discrete speech tokens degrades quality, as a long-tail token distribution biases parallel position selection toward a few high-frequency tokens. To mitigate this without architectural modification, we introduce two inference-time techniques: prior-calibrated scoring, which subtracts the block-level marginal token distribution, and an early-decoding schedule, which adaptively terminates iteration based on calibrated confidence. On standard zero-shot TTS benchmarks, Chatterbox-Flash attains high-fidelity synthesis comparable to strong autoregressive and non-autoregressive baselines, while supporting streaming inference with time-to-first-packet on par with streaming AR systems and substantially lower real-time factor. Code and audio samples are available at https://github.com/resemble-ai/chatterbox-flash.
Unsupervised Collaborative Domain Adaptation for Driving Scene Parsing
arXiv:2606.01818v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reliable driving scene parsing is a fundamental capability for autonomous vehicles operating in open and dynamic driving environments. However, adapting perception models to new deployment domains remains challenging because pixel-level annotations are expensive to obtain, while source-domain data are often inaccessible due to privacy, security, or ownership constraints. Existing source-free unsupervised domain adaptation methods typically rely on a single pre-trained source model, which makes the adapted perception system vulnerable to source-specific biases and limits its robustness under diverse road layouts, illumination conditions, weather patterns, and traffic conditions. This article presents an unsupervised collaborative domain adaptation (UCDA) framework for driving scene parsing in a source-free setting, which transfers complementary knowledge from multiple pre-trained source models to a unified target model without accessing any original source samples. To compare predictions from independently trained models, UCDA constructs a class-level prototype memory bank and estimates cross-model prediction reliability through prototype similarity, reducing the effect of inconsistent confidence scales across source models. Based on the resulting complementary supervision, UCDA adopts a two-stage transfer strategy: multiple source models are first refined on unlabeled target-domain driving data through collaborative optimization with positive and negative consistency constraints, and their validated expertise is then distilled into a single deployable target model. Comprehensive evaluations on public driving-scene datasets and real-world data collected from an autonomous vehicle platform demonstrate that UCDA effectively consolidates complementary multi-source knowledge, improving target-domain scene parsing reliability and generalization across diverse driving environments.
Time-Optimal Collision Avoidance Via a Greedy Polynomial Backward Sweep
arXiv:2606.01169v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Spacecraft collision avoidance for low-thrust satellites often requires determining not only how to maneuver, but also how late a maneuver can begin while still ensuring safety. This paper presents a greedy time-optimal (GTO) backward-sweep method to find the latest maneuver initiation time. The method starts from the nominal time of closest approach and iteratively propagates the maneuver backward in time, selecting at each step the thrust direction that locally minimizes the chosen danger metric. Differential algebra is used to efficiently propagate state sensitivities and update the time of closest approach online. The method is tested on a large dataset of conjunctions, using both miss distance and probability of collision as safety metrics. The approach achieves accurate results and only a small loss of optimality relative to an optimal-control benchmark, while retaining runtimes suitable for on-board implementation.
Atomix: Timely, Transactional Tool Use for Reliable Agentic Workflows
arXiv:2602.14849v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: LLM agents execute multi-step workflows that mutate external state through tools. Common orchestrators treat tool return as the settlement trigger, so faults, speculation, and concurrent agents can leave partial effects, losing-branch residue, stale writes, or irreversible sends. Correct settlement needs two facts that retries, checkpoint replay, locks, and compensation each conflate: which effects must settle together, and when earlier conflicting work is exhausted. Atomix makes this split explicit with progress-aware transactions. The runtime records reads and effects during execution, seals a transaction when its footprint is complete, and commits only after per-resource frontiers show that no earlier conflicting work can still arrive. Commit is final settlement: Atomix releases bufferable effects, accepts reversible external effects as final, and lets irreversible effects leave the gate. Abort suppresses unreleased effects and compensates externalized reversible effects where possible. On representative agent workloads, this composition improves clean recovery under injected faults, isolates contending and speculative work, and prevents correctly classified irreversible actions from leaking; microbenchmarks show microsecond-scale wrapper overhead relative to tool latency.
Bayesian Inference of Nonlinear Malaria Dynamics in Ghana via an Ensemble Markov Chain Monte Carlo Sampler
arXiv:2606.00783v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reliable quantification of malaria dynamics in sub-Saharan Africa is hindered by short, noisy, and spatially heterogeneous surveillance records. In Ghana, health-facility data from 2014 to 2023 reveal non-linear and age-specific fluctuations in hospital admissions, yet existing approaches struggle to capture stochastic variability or provide credible uncertainty bounds. This study develops a Bayesian nonlinear inference framework that integrates a cubic baseline with a damped oscillatory kernel, estimated via an affine-invariant ensemble Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampler. The framework accommodates limited data, models parameter uncertainty, and generates probabilistic forecasts for children under five years and individuals aged five years or more. Results show strong empirical adequacy ($R^2 = 0.9958$ for $<5$ years; $R^2 = 0.9956$ for $\geq 5$ years) with residual errors below $2\%$ and well-mixed posteriors confirming convergence. District-level analysis reveals pronounced spatial heterogeneity, with coefficients of variation ranging from $<0.07$ in urban centres such as Kumasi to $>3.3$ in peripheral districts such as Mpohor and Bia East. Forecasts for 2024-2026 indicate a gradual resurgence: from 137,000 to 149,000 cases among children under five years and from 348,000 to 375,000 cases among older individuals, with uncertainty widening over time. By producing probabilistic forecasts, this Bayesian framework provides a principled tool for anticipating malaria fluctuations and strengthening data-driven decision-making in Ghana's national malaria control strategy.
Bayesian estimation of spectral parameters of the 6.7-GHz methanol maser G339.884-1.259 from GRAO observations
arXiv:2606.00768v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate decomposition of methanol maser spectra is essential for understanding high-mass star-forming regions, especially in complex blended spectra where small differences alter physical interpretation. Conventional Gaussian fitting often fails to capture non-Gaussian structure and lacks uncertainty quantification. We develop a Bayesian spectral decomposition framework using Gaussian, Lorentzian, and Voigt profiles with Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling, enabling model comparison and uncertainty estimation. Applied to the 6.7\,GHz methanol maser G339.884$-$1.259 observed with the Ghana Radio Astronomy Observatory, our method reveals seven velocity-coherent components. The Voigt model is statistically preferred, yielding the lowest AIC and BIC ($\approx 1.98 \times 10^{4}$ and $1.99 \times 10^{4}$), the smallest RMSE ($\approx 11.1$ Jy), and the highest $R^{2}$ (0.985). Purely Gaussian or Lorentzian models leave systematic residuals. Elevated reduced $\chi^{2}_{\nu}$ values indicate unresolved substructure and non-ideal noise. Bayesian inference provides a robust framework for maser spectral analysis, extendable to other molecular lines and combinable with high-resolution interferometry.
The Immersed Discontinuous Galerkin Method for Elliptic Interface Problems
arXiv:2606.01814v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper is devoted to construction and convergence analysis of the linear explicit immersed finite element (IFE) function. For the interface elements, the proposed IFE functions precisely satisfy the interface conditions on the actual interface. The IFE functions are constructed in an explicit form and can be obtained directly without solving any auxiliary problems or local linear systems. Although the constructed IFE functions are non-polynomial, we establish rigorous theoretical analysis showing that they achieve optimal approximation properties and satisfy the essential trace inequalities. And the constants in the analysis are independent of how the interface cuts through the elements. Based on these IFE functions, an immersed discontinuous Galerkin numerical scheme is developed. Several numerical experiments are implemented to confirm that both the IFE functions and the numerical method achieve optimal convergence rates in the $H^1$ and $L^2$ norms. Furthermore, the numerical results indicate that the condition numbers of the stiffness matrices are robust with respect to the interface location.
On gapped repeats in a cyclic Fibonacci word
arXiv:2606.02071v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In this article, we consider the words with cyclic indices. For given $s$, we consider the pair $(\iota,\kappa)$ of indices such that the word of length $s$ from $\iota$ is equal to the word of length $s$ from $\kappa$. We give a characterization of such pairs for a cyclic Fibonacci word, and give the number of them.
Multilingual Idioms in Sentences and Conversations Across High-, Medium-, and Low-Resource Languages
arXiv:2606.02147v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Idiomatic expressions pose a major challenge for multilingual NLP because their meanings shift between figurative and literal usage, often requiring context for accurate interpretation. Prior work has focused on high-resource languages typically evaluates isolated idiom-meaning questions, overlooking realistic discourse. We introduce MIDI, a multilingual idiom dataset spanning 3 high-, 3 medium-, and 12 low-resource languages, curated by native speakers. Unlike previous datasets, MIDI provides idioms embedded in both sentence-level and conversational contexts, capturing both literal and figurative readings. Benchmarking state-of-the-art models shows that idiom comprehension degrades in low-resource languages and that, in all resource tiers, literal interpretations are substantially harder than figurative ones. Conversational context improves performance but does not eliminate these disparities. Through controlled tests and interventions on hidden representations, we further separate memorization from reasoning, exposing core limitations of current models.
Hybrid Neural Ordinary Differential Equations for Data-Efficient Polymerization Modeling with Incomplete Kinetics
arXiv:2606.02145v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Accurate prediction of polymerization dynamics is essential for process design, control, and optimization. Yet, purely mechanistic models require labor-intensive parameterization of partially characterized kinetics, while purely data-driven models demand large, diverse datasets that are costly to obtain, particularly in early-design stages. We propose a hybrid Neural Ordinary Differential Equation (NODE) framework for data-efficient modeling of free-radical polymerization. Using batch polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) as a case study, the mechanistic mass balances are retained explicitly, and only the partially-characterized effective radical concentration governing monomer consumption is learned from data through a neural network surrogate, while established reactions such as initiator decomposition, propagation, and termination remain physically modeled. The hybrid NODE is evaluated against a discrete-time feedforward neural network and a purely data-driven NODE under sparse data conditions, with models trained on as few as ten measurements under both regular and irregular sampling. The hybrid NODE consistently achieves lower prediction errors and more physically consistent extrapolations than both purely data-driven baselines. In a generalization scenario with noisy data and unseen operating conditions, the hybrid NODE achieves an RMSE of 0.013, compared to 0.31 for the data-driven NODE and 0.68 for the discrete-time model, demonstrating that learning only a closure term rather than the full dynamics is sufficient for reliable prediction under limited data availability.
CLIP-like Model as a Foundational Density Ratio Estimator
arXiv:2506.22881v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Density ratio estimation is a core concept in statistical machine learning because it provides a unified mechanism for tasks such as importance weighting, divergence estimation, and likelihood-free inference, but its potential in vision and language models has not been fully explored. Modern vision-language encoders such as CLIP and SigLIP are trained with contrastive objectives that implicitly optimize log density ratios between joint and marginal image-text distributions, which implicitly learn similarity scores proportional to log density ratios. However, prior work has largely focused on their embedding utility, and the density-ratio structure induced by contrastive learning has not been systematically examined or exploited in multimodal applications. To address this gap, we reinterpret CLIP-style models as pretrained and general-purpose density ratio estimators and show that this perspective enables new algorithmic capabilities. We present a unified explanation of how contrastive objectives estimate density ratios and propose two practical applications: Importance Weight Learning and KL divergence estimation. Our Importance Weight Learning method requires only a single additional prompt and improves F1 scores by up to 7 points. We further show that CLIP-based density ratios support estimation of KL divergences that quantify how conditioning on an image or text alters the distribution of the other modality. Through qualitative examples and an N-gram analysis of captions, we find that these divergences capture semantic diversity and mode structure in multimodal data. Leveraging this property, we introduce a simple KL-guided data curation method that achieves performance competitive with LAION2B filtering.
RichControl: Structure- and Appearance-Rich Training-Free Spatial Control for Text-to-Image Generation
arXiv:2507.02792v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Text-to-image (T2I) diffusion models have shown remarkable success in generating high-quality images from text prompts. Recent efforts extend these models to incorporate conditional images (e.g., canny edge) for fine-grained spatial control. Among them, feature injection methods have emerged as a training-free alternative to traditional fine-tuning-based approaches. However, they often suffer from structural misalignment, condition leakage, and visual artifacts, especially when the condition image diverges significantly from natural RGB distributions. Through an analysis of existing methods, we identify a key limitation: the sampling schedule of condition features, previously unexplored, fails to account for the evolving interplay between structure preservation and domain alignment throughout diffusion steps. Inspired by this observation, we propose a flexible training-free framework that decouples the sampling schedule of condition features from the denoising process, and systematically investigate the spectrum of feature injection schedules to achieve a better balance between structural alignment and appearance quality. We further enhance the sampling process by introducing a restart refinement schedule, and improve the visual quality with an appearance-rich prompting strategy. Together, these designs enable training-free controllable generation that is both structure-rich and appearance-rich. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance under complex and diverse conditions. Owing to its generality, our framework naturally supports compositional conditional generation and generalizes across architectures in a plug-and-play manner, from UNet-based diffusion models to modern DiT backbones such as FLUX.
RoboDream: Compositional World Models for Scalable Robot Data Synthesis
arXiv:2606.02577v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Scaling robot learning requires large-scale, diverse demonstrations, yet real-world data collection via teleoperation remains prohibitively expensive and time-consuming. While video diffusion models offer a promising avenue for data scaling, existing generative approaches are often limited to superficial visual augmentation, or suffer from embodiment hallucinations that yield physically infeasible motions. We present a generalizable embodiment-centric world model that achieves scalable data generation by synthesizing photorealistic demonstrations with novel objects, in novel scenes, and from novel viewpoints. Our approach anchors generation to rendered robot motion while conditioning on explicit scene and object priors, effectively decoupling trajectory execution from environment synthesis. This formulation has the potential to unlock two powerful data scaling capabilities: (1) retrieval and rebirth, which repurposes existing trajectories into entirely new contexts without new motion data; and (2) prop-free teleoperation, where operators manipulate empty air and the model hallucinates the target objects and scene afterwards, eliminating reset time. We demonstrate with real-world experiments that our generated data consistently improves downstream policy performance and significantly reduces real-world data requirements across diverse manipulation tasks.
A Unified Framework for Probabilistic Dynamic-, Trajectory- and Vision-based Virtual Fixtures
arXiv:2506.10239v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Probabilistic Virtual Fixtures (VFs) enable the adaptive selection of the most suitable haptic feedback for each phase of a task, based on learned or perceived uncertainty. While keeping the human in the loop remains essential, for instance, to ensure high precision, partial automation of certain task phases is critical for productivity. We present a unified framework for probabilistic VFs that seamlessly switches between manual fixtures, semi-automated fixtures (with the human handling precise tasks), and full autonomy. We introduce a novel probabilistic Dynamical System-based VF for coarse guidance, enabling the robot to autonomously complete certain task phases while keeping the human operator in the loop. For tasks requiring precise guidance, we extend probabilistic position-based trajectory fixtures with automation, allowing for seamless human interaction, geometry-awareness and optimal impedance gains. For manual tasks requiring very precise guidance, we also extend visual servoing fixtures with the same geometry-awareness and impedance behavior. We validate our approach on different robots, including an evaluation with expert users, showcasing operation modes, the ease of programming fixtures and lower interaction forces and favorable usability compared to a baseline.
ToMAP: Training Opponent-Aware LLM Persuaders with Theory of Mind
arXiv:2505.22961v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have shown promising potential in persuasion, but existing works on training LLM persuaders are still preliminary. Notably, while humans are skilled in modeling their opponent's thoughts and opinions proactively and dynamically, current LLMs struggle with such Theory of Mind (ToM) reasoning, resulting in limited diversity and opponent awareness. To address this limitation, we introduce Theory of Mind Augmented Persuader (ToMAP), a novel approach for building more flexible persuader agents by incorporating two theory of mind modules that enhance the persuader's awareness and analysis of the opponent's mental state. Specifically, we begin by prompting the persuader to consider possible objections to the target central claim, and then use a text encoder paired with a trained MLP classifier to predict the opponent's current stance on these counterclaims. Our carefully designed reinforcement learning schema enables the persuader learns how to analyze opponent-related information and utilize it to generate more effective arguments. Experiments show that the ToMAP persuader, while containing only 3B parameters, outperforms much larger baselines, like GPT-4o, with a relative gain of 39.4% across multiple persuadee models and diverse corpora. Notably, ToMAP exhibits complex reasoning chains and reduced repetition during training, which leads to more diverse and effective arguments. The opponent-aware feature of ToMAP also makes it suitable for long conversations and enables it to employ more logical and opponent-aware strategies. These results underscore our method's effectiveness and highlight its potential for developing more persuasive language agents. Code is available at: https://github.com/ulab-uiuc/ToMAP.
Mitigating Perceptual Judgment Bias in Multimodal LLM-as-a-Judge via Perceptual Perturbation and Reward Modeling
arXiv:2606.02578v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent multimodal large language models have demonstrated strong reasoning ability, yet their reliability as automated evaluators remains limited by a critical weakness: when visual evidence conflicts with textual cues, MLLM judges tend to reward plausible narratives over perceptually correct answers. We identify and systematically analyze this phenomenon, which we term Perceptual Judgment Bias. Through controlled visual perturbations, existing multimodal judges frequently anchor on the response text instead of their own visual perception, leading to inconsistent and non-verifiable evaluations. To address this issue, we introduce the Perceptually Perturbed Judgment Dataset, which constructs minimally edited counterfactual responses that isolate perceptual errors and enable verifiable supervision. Building on this dataset, we develop a unified training framework that combines a structured GRPO-based reward with a batch-ranking objective, achieving coherent global ordering without explicit pairwise labels. Experiments across diverse MLLM-as-a-Judge benchmarks show that our approach substantially improves perceptual fidelity, ranking coherence, and alignment with human evaluation. Our results establish a scalable and generalizable pathway for training multimodal judges that are perceptually grounded, interpretable, and robust to visual-reasoning conflicts.
RASER: Recoverability-Aware Selective Escalation Router for Multi-Hop Question Answering
arXiv:2606.02488v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-hop question-answering systems often use expensive retrieval on every question. They may decompose the question, run several retrieval rounds, or search through bridge entities before answering. All of these strategies rely on repeated LLM calls to rewrite or decompose the question, which increases extra token cost, and it is not fitting when the LLM budget is tight. However, our analysis shows that lots of multi-hop questions are already answered correctly by a single one-shot RAG, so running an extra retrieval on every question wastes the budget. We introduce RASER (Recoverability-Aware Selective Escalation Router), a family of cheap routers built on one-shot RAG and six features from it. RASER-2 decides whether to stop or escalate to the extra-retrieval action PRUNE. RASER-3 chooses among one-shot RAG, PRUNE, and iterative retrieval IRCoT, using the same features but adding an explicit cost-accuracy trade-off. Neither router makes an extra LLM call to decide. Across six LLMs and three multi-hop QA benchmarks, both routers stay competitive with the other state-of-the-art (SOTA) baselines in F1 while spending only 41-49% of always-prune's tokens and also less than the iterative and decomposition retrieval baselines.
Geometry-Aware Implicit Memory for Video World Models
arXiv:2606.02436v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Video world models aim to simulate controllable visual environments, but long-horizon rollouts depend on what the model remembers after observations leave its native context window. Explicit memories retain frames or online 3D reconstructions, which can suffer from heuristic retrieval errors, redundant appearance storage, or reconstruction artifacts. Implicit memories compress history into a compact state, but existing designs are not explicitly constrained to encode cross-view scene geometry. We propose GIM-World, a geometry-aware implicit memory framework for video world models. A lightweight transformer encoder compresses variable-length history into fixed-size memory tokens, a camera-queryable geometry head distills 3D scene structure from a frozen foundation model into the memory during training, and an information-guided pruning rule keeps encoding cost bounded as history grows. The geometry teacher is discarded at inference, leaving a lightweight memory module. Experiments on MIND show that GIM-World better preserves long-horizon geometric and visual consistency than both explicit- and implicit-memory baselines.
Adaptive Exploration for Latent-State Bandits
arXiv:2602.05139v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study bandits whose rewards depend on an unobserved Markov state that evolves independently of the learner's actions. The optimal arm can change even though the learner observes only past actions and rewards. We propose algorithms that feed LinUCB with two summaries of the hidden state: a lagged action-reward pair and, when available, a probe fingerprint formed from rewards of multiple arms. The adaptive variants refresh the fingerprint using residual, margin, and staleness tests. In synthetic stress tests over state count, transition rate, noise, and horizon, these methods reduce dynamic regret relative to standard, adversarial, and non-stationary bandit baselines when the summaries distinguish states and are updated often enough. Ablations and misspecification tests identify the main failure modes: weak fingerprint separation, high noise, and state changes during sequential probes.
Large Electron Model: A Universal Ground State Predictor
arXiv:2603.02346v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We introduce Large Electron Model, a single neural network model that produces variational wavefunctions of interacting electrons over the entire Hamiltonian parameter manifold. Our model employs the Fermi Sets architecture, a universal representation of many-body fermionic wavefunctions, which is further conditioned on Hamiltonian parameter and particle number. For interacting electrons in a two-dimensional harmonic potential, a single trained model accurately predicts the ground state wavefunction while generalizing across unseen coupling strengths and particle-number sectors, producing both accurate real-space charge densities and ground state energies, even up to $50$ particles. Our results establish a foundation model method for material discovery that is grounded in the variational principle, while accurately treating strong electron correlation beyond the capacity of density functional theory.
Towards a Physics Foundation Model
arXiv:2509.13805v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Foundation models have revolutionized natural language processing through a ``train once, deploy anywhere'' paradigm, where a single pre-trained model adapts to countless downstream tasks without retraining. Access to a Physics Foundation Model (PFM) would be transformative - democratizing access to high-fidelity simulations, accelerating scientific discovery, and eliminating the need for specialized solver development. Yet current physics-aware machine learning approaches remain fundamentally limited to single, narrow domains and require retraining for each new system. We present the General Physics Transformer (GPhyT), trained on 1.8 TB of diverse simulation data, that demonstrates foundation model capabilities are achievable for physics. Our key insight is that transformers can learn to infer governing dynamics from context, enabling a single model to simulate fluid-solid interactions, shock waves, thermal convection, and multi-phase dynamics without being told the underlying equations. GPhyT achieves three critical breakthroughs: (1) superior performance across multiple physics domains, outperforming specialized architectures by more than 7x, (2) plausible zero-shot generalization to entirely unseen physical systems through in-context learning, and (3) more stable long-term predictions through long-horizon rollouts. By establishing that a single model can learn generalizable physical principles from data alone, this work opens the path toward a universal PFM that could transform computational science and engineering.
QEC and EAQEC Codes from Hermitian Sums and Hulls of Cyclic Codes over $\mathbb{F}_2 \times (\mathbb{F}_2+v\mathbb{F}_2)$
arXiv:2606.02137v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this work, we determine the generator polynomials for the Hermitian hulls and Hermitian sums of cyclic codes defined over the composite ring $\mathbb{F}_2 \times (\mathbb{F}_2 + v\mathbb{F}_2)$, where $v^2 = v$. Based on these structures, we develop quantum error-correcting (QEC) codes by applying the Hermitian dual version of Quantum Construction~X to the obtained Hermitian hulls and sums. Moreover, by employing matrix product code methods on linear complementary dual (LCD) codes defined over the same ring, we derive families of entanglement-assisted quantum error-correcting (EAQEC) codes.
Efficient LLM Moderation with Multi-Layer Latent Prototypes
arXiv:2502.16174v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Although modern LLMs are aligned with human values during post-training, robust moderation remains essential to prevent harmful outputs at deployment time. Existing approaches suffer from performance-efficiency trade-offs and are difficult to customize to user-specific requirements. Motivated by this gap, we introduce Multi-Layer Prototype Moderator (MLPM), a lightweight and highly customizable input moderation tool. We propose leveraging prototypes of intermediate representations across multiple layers to improve moderation quality while maintaining high efficiency. By design, our method adds negligible overhead to the generation pipeline and can be seamlessly applied to any model. MLPM achieves state-of-the-art performance on diverse moderation benchmarks and demonstrates strong scalability across model families of various sizes. Moreover, we show that it integrates smoothly into end-to-end moderation pipelines and further improves response safety when combined with output moderation techniques. Overall, our work provides a practical and adaptable solution for safe, robust, and efficient LLM deployment.
