Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have shown promise in translating model-based explanations into human-readable narratives. This study evaluates whether LLMs can serve as post-hoc explainability interfaces for credit risk models, focusing on their ability to preserve feature-importance rankings and generate autonomous explanations. Using a LendingClub dataset, we compare LLM outputs with SHAP and coefficient-based attributions on three major LLMs, including GPT-4-turbo, Claude-Sonnet-4.5, and Gemini-2.5-Flash. Results indicate that LLMs reliably reproduce reference rankings under controlled prompts but show limited alignment when generating explanations autonomously. These findings suggest that LLMs are best deployed as narrative interfaces rather than substitutes for formal attribution methods in credit risk governance.

Abstract: The development of smart systems (i.e., systems enhanced with AI components) has thrived thanks to the rapid advancements in neural networks (NNs). A wide range of libraries and frameworks have consequently emerged to support NN design and implementation. The choice depends on factors such as available functionalities, ease of use, documentation and community support. After adopting a given NN framework, organizations might later choose to switch to another if performance declines, requirements evolve, or new features are introduced. Unfortunately, migrating NN implementations across libraries is challenging due to the lack of migration approaches specifically tailored for NNs. This leads to increased time and effort to modernize NNs, as manual updates are necessary to avoid relying on outdated implementations and ensure compatibility with new features. In this paper, we propose an approach to automatically migrate neural network code across deep learning frameworks. Our method makes use of a pivot NN model to create an abstraction of the NN prior to migration. We validate our approach using two popular NN frameworks, namely PyTorch and TensorFlow. We also discuss the challenges of migrating code between the two frameworks and how they were approached in our method. Experimental evaluation on five NNs shows that our approach successfully migrates their code and produces NNs that are functionally equivalent to the originals. Artefacts from our work are available online.

Abstract: Astrobee's existing one-degree-of-freedom (DOF) underactuated compliant claw gripper enables perching on the International Space Station (ISS), but provides limited capability for continuous dexterous manipulation. More complex microgravity tasks require an end-effector that can maintain stable contact while limiting disturbance to the free-flying base, since contact forces directly couple into base motion. This article presents the integration of DexCoHand, a dexterous and compliant two-finger, 6-DOF gripper, with the Astrobee free-flying robot for microgravity manipulation. The system is evaluated in MuJoCo using Astrobee's standard handrail perching sequence, including approach, perching, and subsequent pan and tilt motions. Compared with Astrobee's existing gripper, DexCoHand preserves the commanded pan and tilt motions while reducing unintended cross-axis base motion. Hardware experiments on Earth further demonstrate DexCoHand's dexterous manipulation capabilities and its potential for more adaptable intelligent manipulation tasks.

Abstract: We propose a new method for compressing physics foundation models (PFMs) which is a new trend in AI for Science. While model compression is essential for reducing memory use and accelerating inference in large foundation models, it remains under-explored for PFMs, where preserving physical fidelity is crucial. The challenge lies in the functional nature of physics data, where partial derivatives encode spatiotemporal dynamics and exhibit high sensitivity to compression. Conventional compression methods ignore this structure, often causing severe performance degradation or failure. To address this, we introduce a sensitivity-aware fidelity-enforcing compression framework that explicitly models loss-aware layer sensitivity in the output function space during compression. This provides a new route to compressing scientific foundation models while preserving accuracy and physical fidelity. Experiments show substantial gains over existing methods across multiple models and datasets, achieving significantly higher compression ratios while maintaining accuracy, in some cases by orders of magnitude. More broadly, the work potentially leads to a new subfield of efficient, deployable, and sustainable scientific foundation models in AI for Science.

Abstract: Weighted empirical risk minimization is a common approach to prediction under distribution drift. This article studies its out-of-sample prediction error under nonstationarity. We provide a general decomposition of the excess risk into a learning term and an error term associated with distribution drift, and prove oracle inequalities for the learning error under mixing conditions. The learning bound holds uniformly over arbitrary weight classes and accounts for the effective sample size induced by the weight vector, the complexity of the weight and hypothesis classes, and potential data dependence. We illustrate the applicability and sharpness of our results in (auto-) regression problems with linear models, basis approximations, and neural networks, recovering minimax-optimal rates (up to logarithmic factors) when specialized to unweighted and stationary settings.

Abstract: We develop a wave packet molecular dynamics framework for modeling the structural properties of partially-ionized dense plasmas, based on a chemical model that explicitly includes bound state wavefunctions. Using hydrogen as a representative system, we compute self-consistent charge state distributions through free energy minimization, following the approach of Plummer et al. [Phys. Rev. E 111, 015204 (2025)]. This enables a direct comparison of static equilibrium properties with path integral Monte Carlo data, facilitating an evaluation of the model's underlying approximations and its ability to capture the complex interplay between ionization and structure in dense plasma environments.

Abstract: Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) has prompted significant discussion in education, yet large-scale empirical evidence on how students and teachers perceive and navigate this shift remains limited. We analyse 270k AI-related Reddit posts and comments from 26 education-related subreddits spanning higher education, K-12 teaching, and professional training between November 2022 and April 2026. Topic modelling reveals seventeen themes covering academic integrity, teaching & pedagogy, career anxiety, policy, and niche professional contexts. Discourse evolves from an early detection-and-evasion arms race into a sustained enforcement regime that constructive integration only begins to challenge in mid-2024. Stakeholder communities differ sharply: K-12 teachers foreground cognitive dependency, academics focus on AI detection and deliberation, and professional-programme students concentrate on career anxiety. Sentiment correlates strongly negatively with engagement, showing adversarial enforcement themes mobilise communities far more than constructive integration discourse. Examining where faculty and students meet, we find 17% of threads are cross-role, and one third of such contact occurs in the adversarial themes AI Detection and Misconduct Enforcement. Students initiate 68% of mixed threads, but faculty produce most cross-role replies. Mixed threads contain 2-3 times more records and last 2-4 times longer than same-role threads, making adversarial integrity disputes the center of sustained faculty-student contact. We discuss implications for governance, pedagogical design, and cross-role contact design. The code and data is available at https://github.com/tugrulz/genai-edu

Abstract: We introduce and analyze a mesh-free two-level hybrid Chebyshev-Tucker tensor representation for approximating multivariate functions, which combines tensor-product Chebyshev interpolation with the low-rank Tucker decomposition of the tensor of Chebyshev coefficients. This construction allows to avoid the expensive rank-structured grid-based approximation of function-related tensors on large spatial grids, while benefiting from the Tucker decomposition of the moderate-sized core tensor of Chebyshev coefficients. Thus, we can compute the nearly optimal Tucker decomposition of the 3D function with controllable accuracy $\varepsilon >0$ without discretizing the function on a full fine grid in the domain, but only using its values at a small set of Chebyshev nodes computed either from the explicit analytic expression of the target function or from its data-sparse representation in a rank-structured tensor format with moderate rank parameter. Finally, we can represent the function in the algebraic Tucker format with optimal $\varepsilon$-rank on an arbitrarily large 3D tensor grid in the computational domain by discretizing the Chebyshev polynomials on that grid. The rank parameters of the nonlinear Tucker-ALS decomposition of the coefficient tensor can be much smaller than the polynomial degrees of the initial Chebyshev linear interpolation in the function independent polynomial basis set. It is shown that our techniques can be gainfully applied to the long-range part of the singular electrostatic potential of multi-particle systems represented on a fine grid in the range-separated (RS) tensor format. We provide error and complexity estimates and demonstrate the computational efficiency of the proposed techniques on challenging examples, including the collective electrostatic potential for large bio-molecular systems and lattice-type compounds.

Abstract: Sovereign network functions, e.g., routing protocols, are becoming increasingly complex and susceptible to failures arising from protocol configuration anomalies and anomalous configurations. This paper interprets the protocol configuration anomaly detection problem as detection of structural inconsistencies of connected nodes and edges in a bipartite graph that captures both physical network entities and logical protocol states. This graph structural inconsistency detector (GSID) model is proposed to solve the problem efficiently. To handle the heterogeneous nature of protocol configuration parameters, GSID employs an adaptive configuration encoder (ACE) that dynamically selects encoding strategies per parameter to preserve fine-grained numerical discrepancies. To expose the subtle inconsistencies of connected nodes and edges in the bipartite graph, GSID uses an inconsistency dynamic attention (IDA) mechanism that scores edges by drawing asymmetric attentions from both ends, rule compliance from one end and route connectivity from the other. It is demonstrated experimentally that GSID outperforms state-of-the-art baselines by threefold in F1 score and by 23.2% in accuracy. Ablation studies validate the effectiveness of both the ACE and IDA modules. Tests on unseen network scales and real-world network topologies show the superior adaptability of our GSID, compared to the baselines.

Abstract: Large language model (LLM)-based agents have demonstrated strong capabilities in complex reasoning and problem solving through multi-step interactions, yet most deployed agents remain behaviorally static, with knowledge acquired during execution rarely translating into systematic improvement over time. In response, a growing line of work on self-evolving agents explores how agents can improve through experience during deployment, but most existing approaches either rely on ad hoc reflection limited to single-task correction or adopt unstructured memory that accumulates fragmented experience with delayed usability. To address this limitation, we introduce EXG, an experience graph framework for self-evolving agents that explicitly organizes accumulated successes and failures into a structured, relational representation. EXG is the first experience graph designed for self-evolving agents, supporting both online, real-time graph growth during execution for immediate cross-task experience reuse, and offline reuse of a consolidated experience graph as an external memory module. This design also enables EXG to serve as a plug-and-play component for existing self-evolving agents, organizing prior experience into a unified experience graph and improving both solution quality and resource efficiency as deployment progresses. Extensive experiments across code generation and reasoning benchmarks show that EXG attains more favorable performance-efficiency trade-offs than reflection- and memory-based baselines in both online and offline evaluations. Our results suggest that structuring experience as a graph provides a principled foundation for scalable and transferable self-evolving agent behavior.

Abstract: Heterogeneous integration of gain and strongly nonlinear materials with ultra-low-loss silicon nitride (SiN) photonics offers a route to scalable quantum circuits, but concurrent wafer-scale manufacturability, low interlayer loss, and high performance have been challenging to realize. Here we demonstrate a wafer-scale III-V-on-SiN quantum photonic platform that directly integrates III-V layers to foundry-fabricated SiN circuits. The SiN layer provides 200-300 nm thick waveguides with $<1$ dB/m loss and a mature passive photonics ecosystem, while III-V materials provide large $\chi^{\left(2\right)}$ and $\chi^{\left(3\right)}$ nonlinearities for parametric gain, frequency conversion and quantum light generation. Adiabatic interlayer couplers yield $<25$ mdB loss to InGaP waveguides and resonators with intrinsic quality factors exceeding $10^6$, enabling $15\times$ brighter entanglement sources and efficient nonlinear conversion on SiN. Integrated components--including low-loss beam splitters, waveguide crossers, and tunable interferometers--are complemented by III-V lasers and InP photodetectors with amplifiers achieving up to $99^{+1}_{-12}\%$ quantum efficiency and $3$ GHz bandwidth. This architecture unites ultra-efficient sources, nonlinear elements and detectors on a wafer-scale, low-loss platform, establishing a path toward large-scale, low-noise quantum photonic systems.

Abstract: This paper investigates the scaling properties of autoregressive next-pixel prediction, a simple, end-to-end yet under-explored framework for unified vision models. Starting with images at resolutions of 32x32, we train a family of Transformers using IsoFlops profiles across compute budgets up to 7e19 FLOPs and evaluate three distinct target metrics: next-pixel prediction objective, ImageNet classification accuracy, and generation-based completion measured by Fr'echet Distance. First, optimal scaling strategy is critically task-dependent. At a fixed resolution of 32x32 alone, the optimal scaling properties for image classification and image generation diverge, where generation optimal setup requires the data size grow three to five times faster than for the classification optimal setup. Second, as image resolution increases, the optimal scaling strategy indicates that the model size must grow much faster than data size. Surprisingly, by projecting our findings, we discover that the primary bottleneck is compute rather than the amount of training data. As compute continues to grow four to five times annually, we forecast the feasibility of pixel-by-pixel modeling of images within the next five years.

Abstract: Generative AI is being leveraged to solve a variety of computer-use tasks involving desktop applications. State-of-the-art systems have focused solely on improving accuracy on leading benchmarks. However, these systems are practically unusable due to extremely high end-to-end latency (e.g., tens of minutes) for tasks that typically take humans just a few minutes to complete. To understand the cause behind this and to guide future developments of computer agents, we conduct the first study on the temporal performance of computer-use agents on OSWorld, the flagship benchmark in computer-use AI. We find that large model calls for planning, reflection, and judging account for most of the overall latency, and as an agent uses more steps to complete a task, each successive step can take 3x longer than steps at the beginning of a task. We then construct OSWorld Human, a manually annotated version of the original OSWorld dataset that contains a human-determined trajectory for each task. We evaluate 16 agents on their efficiency using OSWorld Human and found that even the best agents take 2.7-4.3x more steps than necessary.

Abstract: The prohibitive cost of evaluating large language models (LLMs) on comprehensive benchmarks necessitates the creation of small yet representative data subsets (i.e., tiny benchmarks) that enable efficient assessment while retaining predictive fidelity. Current methods for this task operate under a model-centric paradigm, selecting benchmarking items based on the collective performance of existing models. Such approaches are limited by large upfront costs, an inability to immediately handle new benchmarks ("cold-start"), and the fragile assumption that future models will share the failure patterns of their predecessors. In this work, we propose a new item-centric approach to benchmark subset selection, arguing that selection should be based on the intrinsic properties of the task items themselves, rather than on model-specific failure patterns. We instantiate this item-centric efficient benchmarking approach via a novel method, Scales++, where data selection is based on the cognitive demands of the benchmark samples. Empirically, we show Scales++ reduces the upfront selection cost by over 18x while achieving competitive predictive fidelity. On the Open LLM Leaderboard, using just a 0.25% data subset, we predict full benchmark scores with a 3.2% mean absolute error, and on Humanity's Last Exam we predict full scores with 2.9% mean absolute error using a 2.0% sample. We demonstrate that this item-centric approach enables more efficient model evaluation without significant fidelity degradation, while also providing better cold-start performance and more interpretable benchmarking.

Abstract: Recent healthcare foundation models have achieved strong predictive performance through large scale self supervised learning, yet their latent representations frequently entangle physiologic severity, intervention intensity, observational structure, and institutional workflow into shared embedding directions. While effective for downstream prediction, such representations remain semantically opaque and unstable under contextual shift. We introduce AURORA, Adaptive Uncertainty aware Representations through Orthogonalized Relational Alignment, a new framework for healthcare representation learning based on contextual latent geometry. Rather than optimizing a single unified embedding manifold, AURORA decomposes representations into orthogonal semantic subspaces corresponding to distinct contextual factors and learns relational consistency objectives within each subspace. This induces latent spaces that are both semantically disentangled and geometrically interpretable. Across multiple clinical prediction and retrieval tasks, AURORA consistently outperforms reconstruction, contrastive, and self distillation baselines while substantially improving contextual disentanglement, neighborhood purity, and robustness under institutional distribution shift. Our results suggest that latent geometry itself constitutes an important axis of healthcare foundation model design and that explicitly structuring representation space according to contextual semantics provides a complementary direction beyond conventional predictive compression objectives.

Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) can generate or synthesize clinical text for a wide range of applications, from improving clinical documentation to augmenting clinical text analytics. Yet evaluations typically focus on a narrow aspect -- such as similarity or utility comparisons -- even though these aspects are complementary and best viewed in parallel. In this study, we aim to conduct a systematic evaluation of LLM-generated clinical text, which includes intrinsic, extrinsic, and factuality evaluations of synthetic clinical notes rephrased from MIMIC databases at million-note scale. Our analysis demonstrates that synthetic notes preserve core clinical information and predictive utility for coarse-grained tasks despite substantial linguistic changes, but lose fine-grained details for task like ICD coding. We show this loss of detail can be substantially mitigated by rephrasing notes by chunks rather than by the whole note, but at the cost of reduced factual precision under incomplete context. Through fact-checking and error analysis, we further find that synthesis errors are dominated by misinterpretation of clinical context, alongside temporal confusion, measurement errors, and fabricated claims. Finally, we show that the synthetic notes -- despite their task-agnostic nature -- can effectively augment task-specific training for rare ICD codes.

Abstract: Though highly impacting our lives, rotating turbulent flows are not well understood. These anisotropic three-dimensional disordered flows are governed by different nonlinear processes, each of which can be dominant in a different range of parameters. More than 20 years ago, Galtier used weak wave turbulence theory (WTT) to derive explicit predictions for the energy spectrum of rotating turbulence. The spectrum is an outcome of forward energy transfer by inertial waves, the linear modes of rotating fluid systems. This spectrum has not yet been observed in freely evolving flows. In this work, we show that the predicted WTT field does exist in steady rotating turbulence, alongside with the more energetic quasi two-dimensional turbulent field. By removing the 2D component from the steady state velocity field, we show that the remainder three-dimensional field consists of inertial waves and exactly obeys WTT predictions. Our analysis verifies the dependence of the energy spectrum on all four relevant parameters and provides limits, beyond which WTT predictions fail. These results provide a solid basis for new theoretical and experimental works focused on the coexistence of the quasi 2D field and the inertial waves field and on their interactions.

Abstract: LLM-based equation discovery offers a promising route to recovering symbolic laws from data, but many systems still rely on generation-centered loops that propose candidates, fit parameters, score results, and reuse selected examples. Such loops can misjudge useful skeletons under unreliable fitting, discard near-correct equations that require repair, and accumulate redundant memories that provide limited guidance. We propose STRIDE, a self-reflective agent framework that improves reliability by coordinating data-aware generation, mixed-fitting evaluation, critic--executor repair, and diversity-preserving semantic memory. By turning fitted scores and candidate behavior into shared feedback, STRIDE enables equations to be proposed, assessed, refined, and reused within a closed-loop discovery process. Experiments on representative symbolic-regression benchmarks and LSR-Synth suites show that STRIDE improves accuracy, OOD robustness, and structural recovery across multiple LLM backbones, with ablations and analyses confirming the contribution of its core components.

Abstract: Calibrating distributed hydrologic models is a critical bottleneck across operational water resources management - streamflow prediction, reservoir operation, drought monitoring, infrastructure design, and flood forecasting all depend on it. Each basin demands an expert to translate hydrograph signatures into adjustments of a high-dimensional parameter vector, and the resulting workflow does not transfer between watersheds. We ask: can frontier large language model (LLM) agents replace the human hydrologic modeler, and if not, what would it take? We benchmark nine frontier LLM agents - Claude Opus 4.6/4.7, Sonnet 4.6, GPT-5/5.4/5.4-pro, and Gemini 2.5-pro/3.1-pro/3-flash - on the operational CREST distributed hydrologic model used by the U.S. National Weather Service for flash-flood forecasting. Best-of-twenty-rounds Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE) across four held-out gauges spanning 329-40,792 km2 ranges from -0.16 (GPT-5.4) to 0.75 (Sonnet 4.6); the ceiling reproduces across all three vendors and capability tiers, with the strongest models concentrating in the 0.65-0.75 band, and no model reaches the human-expert reference except Opus-4.7 on one gauge. We argue this gap is not a parameter-count problem but a domain-grounding problem. We then propose HYDROAGENT, fine-tuning open-weight Qwen3-4B with supervised fine-tuning on 2,576 expert calibration trajectories and Group-Relative Policy Optimization using NSE as a verifiable reward from online CREST simulations - reinforcement learning with simulation feedback (RLSF). For Earth system science, a small domain-tuned policy with simulator-in-the-loop RL is a more compute-efficient and physically faithful path than scaling generic frontier models, and the multi-modal richness of Earth data - remote sensing, in-situ time series, and forecaster narrative - makes domain agents a leveraged direction for AI in physical science.

Abstract: The 60 mV$/$decade subthreshold limit at room temperature, coined as the Boltzmann tyranny, remains a fundamental obstacle to the continued down-scaling of conventional transistors. While several strategies have sought to overcome this constraint through non-thermal carrier injection, most rely on ferroelectric-based or otherwise material-specific mechanisms that require complex fabrication and stability control. Here, we develop a universal theoretical framework showing that intrinsic memory effects in nanometric field-effect transistors can naturally bypass this limit. Within the Landauer-B\"uttiker quantum transport formalism, we incorporate charge-trapping mechanisms that dynamically renormalize the conduction band edge. The resulting analytical expression for the subthreshold swing explicitly links memory dynamics to gate efficiency, revealing that a reduced carrier generation rate or enhanced trapping activity leads to sub-thermal switching, thus breaking the Boltzmann barrier. The model captures key experimental features and provides clear, generalizable design principles, establishing memory-assisted transistors as a robust pathway toward ultra-low-power and multifunctional electronic architectures.

Abstract: Muon has recently emerged as a competitive alternative to AdamW for large-scale pre-training, with orthogonalization via Newton-Schulz (NS) iterations as its core operation. Existing Muon variants apply a uniform NS schedule to all parameter matrices, overlooking possible differences in orthogonalization difficulty and its impact on performance. Through a systematic empirical study, we show that this per-matrix heterogeneity is pervasive and largely determined by matrix geometry, which evolves dynamically across operator types, training stages, and network depths. As a result, uniform NS schedules can lead to uneven orthogonalization quality across the model. Motivated by these findings, we propose Adaptive Muon Orthogonalization (AMO), an observe-then-commit method that measures weight geometry by operator type early in training and then uses these signals to allocate the NS budget for the remainder of training. AMO delivers consistent improvements over uniform-schedule Muon across standard, prolonged, and continual pre-training, surpassing the strongest baseline by +0.76 on Llama3.1-1.4B and +0.51 on Qwen3-1.7B in average downstream performance of 12 evaluation tasks.

Abstract: In real home deployments, household agents must often operate from a complete household scene and a situated household request, rather than from a clean task specification. Such requests require agents to identify task-relevant entities, recover intended task conditions, and resolve ordering constraints from the surrounding scene context. We formalize this capability as full-scene household reasoning: given a complete household scene and a situated household request, an agent must infer executable task structure before producing a grounded skill-level action sequence. This setting is challenging because complete household scenes contain substantial task-irrelevant information, making direct complete-scene prompting inefficient and error-prone. In practical deployment, this challenge is further amplified by privacy and local compute constraints, which favor compact open-weight models with limited long-context reasoning ability. We propose TaskGround, a training-free and model-agnostic Ground-Infer-Execute framework that grounds complete scenes into compact task-relevant scene slices, infers executable task structure, and compiles it into grounded skill-level action sequences. To evaluate this setting, we introduce FullHome, a human-validated evaluation suite of 400 household tasks spanning diverse home-scale environments and both goal-oriented and process-constrained requirements. On FullHome, TaskGround improves task success rates by large margins across both proprietary and open-weight models. Notably, it makes Qwen3.5-9B competitive with GPT-5 under direct complete-scene prompting while reducing total input-token cost by up to 18x. Our results identify executable task-structure inference as a central bottleneck in full-scene household reasoning and show that structured grounding can make compact local models substantially more effective for practical household deployment.

Abstract: Existing autoregressive (AR) methods for generating artist-designed meshes struggle to balance global structural consistency with high-fidelity local details, and are susceptible to error accumulation. To address this, we propose PartDiffuser, a novel semi-autoregressive diffusion framework for point-cloud-to-mesh generation. The method first performs semantic segmentation on the mesh and then operates in a "part-wise" manner: it employs autoregression between parts to ensure global topology, while utilizing a parallel discrete diffusion process within each semantic part to precisely reconstruct high-frequency geometric features. PartDiffuser is based on the DiT architecture and introduces a part-aware cross-attention mechanism, using point clouds as hierarchical geometric conditioning to dynamically control the generation process, thereby effectively decoupling the global and local generation tasks. Experiments demonstrate that this method significantly outperforms state-of-the-art (SOTA) models in generating 3D meshes with rich detail, exhibiting exceptional detail representation suitable for real-world applications.

Abstract: Generative 3D models are deployed in gaming, robotics, and immersive creation, making source attribution critical: given a 3D asset, can we identify whether and which generative model created it? This problem faces two core challenges: dispersed attribution signals, where 3D fingerprints are distributed across multi-view, geometric, and frequency-domain cues; and realistic deployment constraints, where scarce labels, degraded prompts, and mixed real/synthetic assets undermine attribution reliability. To systematically study this problem, we construct, to the best of our knowledge, the first passive source attribution benchmark for modern generated assets, covering 22 representative 3D generators under standard, few-shot, and realistic deployment protocols. Based on this benchmark, we find that generative 3D models leave two types of stable fingerprints: cross-view inconsistency and structural artifacts reflected in geometric statistics and frequency-domain cues. To capture these dispersed signals, we propose a hierarchical multi-view multi-modal Transformer that fuses appearance, geometric, and frequency-domain features within each view and models global relationships across views. Extensive experiments demonstrate strong performance, achieving 97.22% accuracy under full supervision and 77.17% accuracy with only 1% training data, corresponding to fewer than five samples per generator. These results show that modern 3D generators leave stable and attributable fingerprints, establishing a new benchmark and methodological foundation for trustworthy 3D content provenance.

Abstract: Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) is transforming how firms create, process, and apply knowledge, yet little is known about the heterogeneity of its productivity effects across users. We report results from a randomized controlled experiment in which participants-analogs of early-career knowledge workers-were assigned to self-study a technical domain using either traditional resources or large-language-model (LLM) assistance. On average, GenAI access significantly increased task performance, but the distribution of gains was highly uneven. Improvements were not predicted by GPA or prior knowledge, but by \textit{AI Interaction Competence (AIC)} -- the ability to elicit, filter, and verify model outputs. High-AIC participants realized outsized gains; low-AIC participants saw limited or even negative marginal returns. A scaffolding intervention (conceptual maps) reduced outcome variance, indicating that standardized workflows can mitigate inequality in AI-mediated performance. We interpret these findings through the lens of human-AI complementarities: GenAI raises mean productivity while introducing a new axis of capability inequality. Managerially, firms should pair GenAI access with short AIC micro-training and simple standard operating procedures to capture value consistently and avoid uneven adoption outcomes.
