We propose a Hybrid Quantum-Classical Physics-Informed Neural Network (HQC-PINN) that integrates parameterized variational quantum circuits into the PINN framework for hydrological PDE-constrained learning. Our architecture encodes multi-source remote sensing features into quantum states via trainable angle encoding, processes them through a hardware-efficient variational ansatz with entangling layers, and constrains the output using the Saint-Venant shallow water equations and Manning’s flow equation as differentiable physics loss terms. The inherent stochasticity of quantum measurement provides a natural mechanism for uncertainty […]

The iterated learning model simulates the transmission of language from generation to generation in order to explore how the constraints imposed by language transmission facilitate the emergence of language structure. Despite each modelled language learner starting from a blank slate, the presence of a bottleneck limiting the number of utterances to which the learner is exposed can lead to the emergence of language that lacks ambiguity, is governed by grammatical rules, and is consistent over successive generations, that […]

arXiv:2601.10774v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A key challenge in designing normalizing flows is finding expressive scalar bijections that remain invertible with tractable Jacobians. Existing approaches face trade-offs: affine transformations are smooth and analytically invertible but lack expressivity; monotonic splines offer local control but are only piecewise smooth and act on bounded domains; residual flows achieve smoothness but need numerical inversion. We introduce three families of analytic bijections — cubic rational, sinh, and cubic polynomial — that are globally […]

arXiv:2601.03423v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Adapting language models to the clinical domain through continued pretraining and fine-tuning requires costly retraining for each new model generation. We propose Cross-Architecture Proxy Tuning (CAPT), a model-ensembling approach that enables training-free adaptation of state-of-the-art general-domain models using existing clinical models. CAPT supports models with disjoint vocabularies, leveraging contrastive decoding to selectively inject clinically relevant signals while preserving the general-domain model’s reasoning and fluency. On six clinical classification and text-generation tasks, CAPT with […]

Stablecoins have moved from crypto native curiosity to serious financial infrastructure and nowhere is that shift more consequential than Asia, where dollar-denominated settlement sits at the intersection of regulatory complexity, booming Web3 adoption, and chronically underserved developer tooling.  Stables is betting it can own that infrastructure layer. I sat down with Bernardo Bilotta, Co-founder and CEO of Stables, to understand what they’re building, why Asia, and whether the “Stripe for stablecoins” label actually fits. Ishan Pandey: Hi Bernardo, […]

arXiv:2604.14360v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Resilience in cyber-physical systems (CPS) is the fundamental ability to maintain safety and critical functionality despite adverse “perturbations,” which includes security attacks, environmental disruptions, and hardware or software failures. This survey provides a comprehensive review of CPS resilience, framing the field through five interconnected themes that are required in an integrated whole to achieve real-world resilience. The article first posits that resilience is a system-wide property emerging from interactions between hardware, software, and […]

arXiv:2604.15360v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This study presents a triadic analysis of energy storage operation under multi-stage model predictive control, investigating the interplay between data characteristics, forecast uncertainty, planning horizon, and battery c-rate. Synthetic datasets are generated to systematically explore variations in data profiles and uncertainty, enabling parametrization and the construction of relationships that map these characteristics to optimal horizon length. Results reveal the presence of an effective horizon, defined as the look-ahead length beyond which additional forecast […]
