arXiv:2603.26679v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large-enrollment university courses face persistent challenges in providing timely and scalable instructional support. While generative AI holds promise, its effective use depends on reliability and pedagogical alignment. We present a human-centered case study of AI-assisted support in a Calculus I course, implemented in close collaboration with the course instructor. We developed a system to answer students’ questions on a discussion forum, fine-tuning a lightweight language model on 2,588 historical student-instructor interactions. The model […]

In the modern web ecosystem, “search” is not just about finding text; it is about performance, relevance and user experience. As a Senior Symfony Developer, you know that LIKE %…% queries are a technical debt trap. This article details how to implement a production-grade Elasticsearch integration in Symfony 7.4. We aren’t just “installing a bundle”; we are building a resilient, zero-downtime search architecture using PHP 8.4 features, Attributes and Symfony Messenger for asynchronous indexing. The Architecture: Performance & Resilience In a junior implementation, an entity update triggers a synchronous HTTP call […]

Real-time reconstruction of conditional quantum states from continuous measurement records is a fundamental requirement for quantum feedback control, yet standard stochastic master equation (SME) solvers require exact model specification, known system parameters, and are sensitive to parameter mismatch. While neural sequence models can fit these stochastic dynamics, the unconstrained predictors can violate physicality such as positivity or trace constraints, leading to unstable rollouts and unphysical estimates. We propose a Kraus-structured output layer that converts the hidden representation of […]

Mixture-of-experts variants of parameter-efficient fine-tuning enable per-token specialization, but they introduce additional trainable routers and expert parameters, increasing memory usage and training cost. This undermines the core goal of parameter-efficient fine-tuning. We propose Monkey Jump, a method that brings mixture-of-experts-style specialization to parameter-efficient fine-tuning without introducing extra trainable parameters for experts or routers. Instead of adding new adapters as experts, Monkey Jump treats the adapters already present in each Transformer block (such as query, key, value, up, and […]

arXiv:2603.05512v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This study focuses on the roadmapping of biometric technologies onto personalized Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), a branch of assistive technologies for people with communication disabilities. This technology roadmapping revolves around the proposed notions of an AAC biometric register and biometric-enabled reconfigurable AAC channels. The biometric register is referred to as a tool for acquiring and processing physiological and behavioural traits that are essential for augmentative and alternative communication. It links biometric traits, […]

arXiv:2601.17136v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Clustering is an important tool in data analysis, with K-means being popular for its simplicity and versatility. However, it cannot handle non-linearly separable clusters. Kernel K-means addresses this limitation but requires a large kernel matrix, making it computationally and memory intensive. Prior work has accelerated Kernel K-means by formulating it using sparse linear algebra primitives and implementing it on a single GPU. However, that approach cannot run on datasets with more than approximately […]

Offline safe reinforcement learning (RL) seeks reward-maximizing policies from static datasets under strict safety constraints. Existing methods often rely on soft expected-cost objectives or iterative generative inference, which can be insufficient for safety-critical real-time control. We propose Safe Flow Q-Learning (SafeFQL), which extends FQL to safe offline RL by combining a Hamilton–Jacobi reachability-inspired safety value function with an efficient one-step flow policy. SafeFQL learns the safety value via a self-consistency Bellman recursion, trains a flow policy by behavioral […]
