arXiv:2603.25832v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Plasma modeling is central to the design of nuclear fusion reactors, yet simulating collisional plasma kinetics from first principles remains a formidable computational challenge: the Vlasov-Maxwell-Landau (VML) system describes six-dimensional phase-space transport under self-consistent electromagnetic fields together with the nonlinear, nonlocal Landau collision operator. A recent deterministic particle method for the full VML system estimates the velocity score function via the blob method, a kernel-based approximation with $O(n^2)$ cost. In this work, we […]

arXiv:2603.00772v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Score-based generative models (SGMs) aim at generating samples from a target distribution by approximating the reverse-time dynamics of a stochastic differential equation. Despite their strong empirical performance, classical samplers initialized from a Gaussian distribution require a long time horizon noising typically inducing a large number of discretization steps and high computational cost. In this work, we present a Kullback-Leibler convergence analysis of Variance Exploding diffusion samplers that highlights the critical role of the […]

arXiv:2602.22368v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Code summarization is the task of generating natural language descriptions of source code, which is critical for software comprehension and maintenance. While large language models (LLMs) have achieved remarkable progress on this task, an open question remains: can human expertise in code understanding further guide and enhance these models? We propose EyeLayer, a lightweight attention-augmentation module that incorporates human eye-gaze patterns, as a proxy of human expertise, into LLM-based code summarization. EyeLayer models […]

arXiv:2602.12359v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study no-money mechanisms for allocating indivisible items to strategic agents with additive preferences under a stochastic model. In this model, items’ values are drawn from an underlying distribution and mechanisms are evaluated with respect to this draw (e.g., in expectation, or with high probability). Motivated by worst-case impossibilities which show that truthfulness severely restricts fairness and efficiency, we ask whether truthful mechanisms continue to perform poorly on random instances. We first focus […]

arXiv:2601.03498v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As intelligent systems are developed across diverse substrates – from machine learning models and neuromorphic hardware to in vitro neural cultures – understanding what gives a system agency has become increasingly important. Existing definitions, however, tend to rely on top-down descriptions that are difficult to quantify. We propose a bottom-up framework grounded in a system’s information-processing order: the extent to which its transformation of input evolves over time. We identify three orders of […]

arXiv:2602.13004v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Granger Causality (GC) provides a rigorous framework for learning causal structures from time-series data. Recent federated variants of GC have targeted distributed infrastructure applications (e.g., smart grids) with distributed clients that generate high-dimensional data bound by data-sovereignty constraints. However, Federated GC algorithms only yield deterministic point estimates of causality and neglect uncertainty. This paper establishes the first methodology for rigorously quantifying uncertainty and its propagation within federated GC frameworks. We systematically classify sources […]

arXiv:2603.02293v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While implicit regularization facilitates benign overfitting in low-noise regimes, recent theoretical work predicts a sharp phase transition to harmful overfitting as the noise-to-signal ratio increases. We experimentally isolate the geometric mechanism of this transition: the Malignant Tail, a failure mode where networks functionally segregate signal and noise, reducing coherent semantic features into low-rank subspaces while pushing stochastic label noise into high-frequency orthogonal components, distinct from systematic or corruption-aligned noise. Through a Spectral Linear […]

arXiv:2603.15726v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present MiroThinker-1.7, a new research agent designed for complex long-horizon reasoning tasks. Building on this foundation, we further introduce MiroThinker-H1, which extends the agent with heavy-duty reasoning capabilities for more reliable multi-step problem solving. In particular, MiroThinker-1.7 improves the reliability of each interaction step through an agentic mid-training stage that emphasizes structured planning, contextual reasoning, and tool interaction. This enables more effective multi-step interaction and sustained reasoning across complex tasks. MiroThinker-H1 further […]

arXiv:2603.24427v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Understanding how biomarker distributions evolve over time is a central challenge in digital health and chronic disease monitoring. In diabetes, changes in the distribution of glucose measurements can reveal patterns of disease progression and treatment response that conventional summary measures miss. Motivated by a 26-week clinical trial comparing the closed-loop insulin delivery system t:slim X2 with standard therapy in children with type 1 diabetes, we propose a probabilistic framework to model the continuous-time […]
