Toward Maximizing Algebraic Connectivity via Density-Dependent Backbone Construction and Reinforcement Learning Completion

A density-dependent approach is proposed that decomposes the design task into two stages: a high-quality, low-cost structural backbone construction and a reinforcement learning completion stage, and these results support a structural-family-first strategy for scalable network design.

Fly-by-Code: Embodied Coding Agents for Aerial Manipulation with Active Visual and Physical Feedback

Embodied coding agents construct robot policies from natural-language instructions by generating executable programs and refining them from execution feedback. This refinement assumes that execution feedback reveals whether the task succeeded and, after a failure, provides sufficient evidence to guide program revision....

Structural and Representational Agency in LLM-Driven Timbre Generation and Interpolation

Generative creative interfaces routinely report the user's position within a space of possibilities. Such displays imply that the quantities shown were measured from the artefact; in a growing class of systems they are instead predicted by a language model describing its own output, and the two are indistinguishable on...

MolP2SBench: Do LLMs Really Reason from Molecular Properties to Structure?

MolP2SBench is introduced, a benchmark for molecular property-to-structure (P2S) reasoning in LLMs that supports studying how LLMs extract and use physical-property information, revealing patterns that may differ from conventional chemical intuition and providing a foundation for more reliably property-grounded models...

Looking Under the Streetlight: Evaluation in Generative Molecular Dynamics

This position paper argues that the generative molecular dynamics (GenMD) community is not properly evaluating its progress: current evaluations let a model match what is reported while being arbitrarily wrong on what was claimed, which risks over-claiming advantage over classical baselines. This reflects a structural...

CORAL-KV: Compact Cross-Layer Prediction and Residual Coding for Autoregressive Video KV Caches

Autoregressive video diffusion models maintain a growing attention key-value (KV) cache, making memory a key bottleneck for long video generation. Recently, clustering-based quantization has emerged as an effective method to compress video KV caches by grouping similar key and value vectors then quantizing residual err...

EarLog: Opportunistic Ear Physiology Sensing toward Personalized Hearing Risk Awareness

Many headphone users risk irreversible hearing damage during high-load listening, yet current protection still relies on sound-pressure limits. Clinical tests detect damage after it becomes measurable, leaving the risk-accumulating process unobserved. The acoustic reflex (AR), an involuntary response to high acoustic l...

Acoustic Biomarkers for Alzheimer's Disease Detection from Spontaneous Speech

Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains a major public health challenge, and early identification is crucial for timely intervention and care planning. Recent work has shown that speech-based digital biomarkers can capture subtle changes in vocal production, prosody, and timing that often precede or accompany cognitive declin...

TTS-Q: Perception-Guided Post-Training Quantization of Text-to-Speech Diffusion Transformers

Zero-shot text-to-speech (TTS) can clone a voice from seconds of audio. Yet the quality comes from billion-parameter diffusion transformers whose size and multi-step sampling put them out of reach of the on-device, assistive, and real-time applications that need them most. Post-training quantization (PTQ) shrinks such...

Neuromorphic Satellite Intelligence: A Formal Framework for Event-Driven Architectures, Spike-Based Algorithms, and Quantitative Energy-Accuracy Trade-offs

Satellite onboard computing faces an irreducible tension: mission intelligence requirements grow monotonically while power, mass, and radiation budgets remain fixed. This paper advances the state of the art on three fronts. First, we develop a formal mathematical model of spiking neural computation for satellite worklo...

A Sampling Complexity-aware Framework for Discrete-time Fractional-Order Dynamical System Identification

A variety of complex biological, natural and man-made systems exhibit non-Markovian dynamics that can be modeled through fractional order differential equations, yet, we lack sample comlexity aware system identification strategies. Towards this end, we propose an affine discrete-time fractional order dynamical system (...

AI Models Can Provably Hide Arbitrary Capabilities

Capability evaluations aim to surface dangerous model behaviors before deployment, but their reliability depends on the assumption that hidden capabilities can be elicited. We show this assumption does not hold under adversarial conditions by constructing backdoor attacks that embed encrypted neural networks within hos...

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.
