arXiv:2607.05489v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The AInstein architecture introduced an unsupervised neural method for solving the Riemannian Einstein equations on arbitrary manifolds. This Physics Informed Neural Network approach (PINN) is extended here to Lorentzian signature, validated by recovering the maximally extended Schwarzschild geometry, and tested as novel search method for arbitrary black hole solutions. The topology is built into the architecture by treating $S^{2}$ globally thro

arXiv:2607.05546v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We develop a unified function space theory of deep fully connected neural networks. Functions in our spaces are defined recursively as $\ell^1$-bounded linear combinations of activated functions from preceding layers, with a dictionary of affine functions at the first layer. Unlike existing theories that are largely specialized to homogeneous activations such as the ReLU, our framework provides a meaningful notion of functional complexity for dee

arXiv:2607.05590v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Implantable brain-computer interfaces require on-node spike sorting to reduce telemetry bandwidth and power while maintaining reliable neural decoding. This paper presents a hardware-oriented deep binarized neural network (DBNN) spike-sorting system with two binarized hidden layers with 256 neurons and a fixed-point output layer to enable multiplier-free inference dominated by sign-controlled accumulation and bit-wise logic. The proposed classifi

This delay, the Zenith Wet Delay (ZWD), is a direct, all-weather measure of column moisture. Although assimilated into numerical weather prediction for decades, ZWD is not yet used by leading machine learning weather models (MLWM), despite addressing a known deficiency: the underestimation of severe

arXiv:2607.05694v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Logit-based watermarking is a widely used mechanism for identifying LLM generated content, yet its effectiveness is governed by a fundamental trade-off between detectability and semantic distortion. Existing analyses provide limited guidance for principled hyperparameter selection, leaving practical deployments reliant on heuristic tuning. In this work, we develop a power-calibrated statistical framework that establishes explicit quantitative rel

arXiv:2607.05735v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Infinite-width limits are a standard way to reason about neural networks, but it is not automatic that the limiting learner has the same complexity-theoretic inductive bias as large finite networks. We study this question for Bayesian neural networks at the mean-field, or critical feature-learning, scaling. The central quantity is the \emph{reduced entropy} \[ s_\infty(y,\varepsilon)=\limsup_N -\frac{1}{N}\log \pi_N^0(L\le \varepsilon), \] the in

arXiv:2607.05758v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Automated experimentation is moving from closed-loop optimization toward open decision-making, where human or AI planners must forecast the consequences of candidate actions before executing them. Such forecasts require a model of both sides of the experiment: how the sample is likely to respond and what the instrument is likely to detect. We therefore introduce a coupled digital-twin framework that separates these roles and then links them. In t

arXiv:2607.05791v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Boosting is a fundamental technique for generically improving the accuracy of learning algorithms (Schapire 1989). Existing boosting algorithms construct a strong learner using $O(\log(\frac{1}{\epsilon})/\gamma^2)$ calls to a $\gamma$-advantage weak learner, and this round complexity is known to be optimal for generic boosters that succeed on all concept classes (Freund 1995). We show that this lower bound can be circumvented for concept classes

arXiv:2607.05814v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Real-time decoding is a major bottleneck in scaling quantum error correction (QEC) from noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices to fault-tolerant quantum computing. We present an adaptive confidence-gated decoding framework for the rotated surface code that treats decoding as a two-stage inference problem. A lightweight feed-forward neural network performs fast-path decoding for the majority of syndrome measurements, while only low-confid

arXiv:2607.05836v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The limited-memory BFGS (L-BFGS) algorithm is a cornerstone of large-scale optimization due to its linear memory and computational costs. However, in ill-conditioned or non-convex landscapes, the implicit inverse Hessian approximation can suffer from an exploding condition number, leading to numerical instability and degraded convergence. To address this, we propose Two-Sided L-BFGS, a safeguarded variant that dynamically constrains the condition

arXiv:2607.05892v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: When analyzing a manifold learning algorithm for data lying on a smooth, compact, connected Riemannian submanifold $(\mathcal{M}, g)$ of $\mathbb{R}^d$, a key estimate for the geodesic distance $d_g$ is that there exists $K > 0$ such that $0 \leq d_g(p, q)^2 - \|p-q\|^2 \leq K d_g(p, q)^4$ for all $p, q \in \mathcal{M}$. We observe that more generally, when $\mathcal{M}$ is equipped with a smooth symmetric divergence $D$ satisfying a non-degenera

arXiv:2607.05933v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Dynamic Voltage Frequency Scaling (DVFS) on resource-constrained embedded GPU platforms is essential for energy-efficient small language model (SLM) fine-tuning, as privacy- and personalization-driven adaptation increasingly requires local execution and involves repeated forward-backward optimization over many mini-batches, making it substantially more time- and energy-intensive than single-pass inference. To this end, 1) we first characterize th

Although LLMs are increasingly used for code generation, previous work has empirically shown that their ability to generate correct web API integrations is limited. At the same time, mitigation techniques and their effectiveness for this setting remain insufficiently u

arXiv:2607.06009v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Attributing code to the large language model that produced it is essential for provenance, licensing, and misuse accountability, yet no deployed watermark meets this need. Generation-time schemes require access to the producing model and cannot be applied to third-party code, while post-hoc schemes work on any code but carry at most 4 bits of payload, far too few to distinguish the many deployed model configurations. We present multi-channel spre

arXiv:2607.06411v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Developers increasingly delegate real maintenance work to product-grade coding agents, and many state tasks in their native language, in the style of a customer request rather than a curated English issue. Existing repository-level agentic benchmarks do not measure this setting: their task statements are English by design.

When we talk about semantic interpretation, we can distinguish two complementary aspects: establishing what an expression refers to in the world (which we call the Extensional task) and representing its sense in a structured way (which we call the Intensional task).
