Generative AI does not merely produce biased outputs. It encodes the majority's way of knowing as the default infrastructure of knowledge itself. We call this epistemic subordination. The training process compresses the full breadth of human expression into a single probabilistic model whose statistical baseline reflects the languages, assumptions, and cultural frameworks of the dominant culture. Minority epistemologies are not excluded but absorbed: present in the training data, yet structurally subordinated in the output. The result is not a collection of discrete biases that can be audited and corrected. It is an epistemic condition embedded in the architecture from which all outputs emerge. This unified harm cuts across three legal domains -- anti-discrimination law, cultural and linguistic rights, and democratic viewpoint pluralism -- and each fails to address it for the same structural reason: existing law regulates downstream, at the level of decisions and applications. The remedy must match the site of harm. If epistemic subordination is produced at the level of model training, then law must learn to govern at that level.
Investigating how experienced developers use agents in building software, including their motivations, strategies, task suitability, and sentiments finds that while experienced developers value agents as a productivity boost, they retain their agency in software design and implementation out of insistence on fundamental software quality attributes.
This systematic review evaluates 55 studies from 2017 to 2023 on the application of machine learning techniques to ASD, highlighting key challenges and opportunities, particularly the need for models that can integrate complex data to improve diagnostic accuracy and treatment outcomes.

This paper identifies two different routes through which models can acquire geometrically separable features: they can learn them from complementary co-occurrence signals in general language data, including text-number co-occurrence and cross-number interaction, or from multi-token addition problems.
This work explores image generation using flow matching using flow matching and proposes an iterative process that can be integrated into virtually any generative modeling technique, thereby enhancing the performance and robustness of image synthesis systems.

This work presents AutoOR, a scalable synthetic data generation and reinforcement learning pipeline that trains LLMs to autoformulate optimization problems specified in natural language across linear, mixed-integer, and non-linear categories and introduces a curriculum RL strategy that bootstraps from limited initial training data to make this class tractable for post-training.

A benchmark built on the Speech Accessibility Project (SAP) dataset is introduced that tests whether diagnosis labels, clinician-derived speech ratings, and progressively richer clinical descriptions improve transcription accuracy for dysarthric speech, finding that current models do not meaningfully use this context.
