Generalized PINN-Based Inverse Estimation of Spatially Varying Heat Transfer Coefficients with Transfer Learning

This study investigates generalized boundary representations and transfer learning for physics-informed neural-network (PINN) estimation of spatially varying convective heat transfer coefficients (HTCs) in jet impingement cooling. Piecewise-linear (PWL) and neural-network boundary estimators are inferred from transient...

DoSA: Dots Sparse Attention

Sparse attention visits few keys, yet finding them can still require scoring every key with every indexer head. We introduce DoSA (Dots Sparse Attention), a lossless method for making this computation conditional while preserving exact token selection. Its central observation is that Top-K selection requires sufficient...

PRIME: Frequency-Aware Unified Pruning and Merging for MoE Compression

Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models have emerged as an effective paradigm for scaling large language models, yet their massive parameter footprint poses severe memory challenges for deployment. Existing compression methods typically treat expert pruning and merging as disjoint operations and rely on greedy heuristics, ofte...

LACRM: LLM-Guided Mining of Directed Advertiser Competition Relationships in E-Commerce Advertising

In e-commerce advertising, ad platforms typically fail to model the externalities among advertisers when making optimization decisions: an advertiser's actual performance is largely shaped by rivals competing for the same users; these rivals typically operate in overlapping product categories and at comparable budget s...

MDN-VJEPA: Multimodal Probabilistic Joint-Embedding World Models

Joint-Embedding Predictive Architectures (JEPAs) learn world models by predicting future representations rather than reconstructing observations. Variational JEPA (VJEPA) gives this prediction probabilistic semantics and permits flexible conditional predictive families. We propose MDN-VJEPA, a multimodal probabilistic...

Measuring Concept Content in Text from LLM Activations: ESG Evidence from Concept Vectors and Linear Probes

Recent work shows that Large Language Models (LLMs) encode more information in their activations than they show in their responses. We ask whether the information contained in activations could be used as a source of measurement for the presence of concepts. We compare two algorithms for extraction of concepts, i.e., R...

LLM-OSDA: An Optimal-Stopping Dynamic Auction for Native Advertising in Multi-Turn LLM Conversations

LLM-native advertising embeds sponsored content directly into model-generated responses, shifting the unit of sale from a fixed slot to a moment within an evolving conversation. Existing LLM ad-auction mechanisms primarily operate within a single response, settling the winner but not the timing. The extension is nontri...

Activation Steering with Jungian Cognitive Functions

Controlling combinations of personality-related tendencies is important for adapting large language models to diverse interaction needs. But successful single-trait steering does not establish how to construct interventions for joint targets, or whether existing trait directions adequately represent them. We introduce...

Automatic Thematic Indexing of Large Literary Corpora: A Machine Learning Approach to Voltaire's Complete Works

Thematic indexing -- the practice of assigning structured conceptual labels to sections of text -- is essential to scholarly access in large-scale literary and historical editions, yet it remains a largely manual, labour-intensive process. This paper explores the application of machine learning to automatic thematic in...

Phone Segmentation and Recognition through Phonological Activation Mapping

Phone segmentation and recognition are inherently related tasks, yet modern approaches typically model them separately. We argue that phonetic structure is already latent in the representations of self-supervised speech models (S3Ms), so one only needs to steer them to solve both tasks. We leverage S3M-based Phonologic...

Ember: A Kilobyte-State Optimizer for Token Interfaces

Language models learn continuous programs over discrete symbols, with the embedding table and LM-head acting as the read/write interface between them. We show that this interface has gradient geometry distinct from dense hidden weights which can be exploited to improve the Pareto frontier across supervised finetuning,...

Federated Learning with Energy-Based Structured Probabilistic Inference

Federated Learning (FL) enables multiple clients to collaboratively train machine learning models without sharing their local data. However, heterogeneity in client data and the presence of unreliable or adversarial updates make effective server aggregation challenging, motivating methods that adapt client contribution...

Q&A: How AI came to model the “messy” human mind

Assistant Professor Benjamin Lindquist studies how engineers deliberately injected randomness into early AI, giving rise to deep-learning models that sometimes hallucinate.
