An Exponentially stable Extended Kalman Filter with Estimate dependent Process noise Covariance for Chemical Reaction Networks
Biomolecular systems are often modeled with partially known nonlinear stochastic dynamics, making state and parameter estimation a central challenge. While Kalman filtering techniques are widely used in this setting, their performance critically depends on the choice of the process noise covariance, which is typically assumed constant and heuristically tuned. Such assumptions are not justified for…

Judging the Judges: A Systematic Evaluation of Bias Mitigation Strategies in LLM-as-a-Judge Pipelines
LLM-as-a-Judge has become the dominant paradigm for evaluating language model outputs, yet LLM judges exhibit systematic biases that compromise evaluation reliability. We present a comprehensive empirical study comparing nine debiasing strategies across five judge models from four provider families (Google, Anthropic, OpenAI, Meta), three benchmarks (MT-Bench n=400, LLMBar n=200, custom n=225), an…

GPU-Native Multi-Area State Estimation via SIMD Abstraction and Boundary Condensation
Power system state estimation (SE) is foundational for grid monitoring, yet conventional centralized solvers face increasing computational pressure as the system scale and real-time requirements grow. This paper presents a GPU-native framework for hierarchical multi-area state estimation (MASE) that addresses these bottlenecks through a single-instruction, multiple-data (SIMD) abstraction and spar…

One Identity, Many Roles: Multimodal Entity Coreference for Enhanced Video Situation Recognition
Video Situation Recognition (VidSitu) addresses the challenging problem of "who did what to whom, with what, how, and where" in a video. It tests thorough video understanding by requiring identification of salient actions and associated short descriptions for event roles across multiple events. Grounding with VidSitu requires spatio-temporal localization of key entities across shots and varied app…

Efficient VQ-QAT and Mixed Vector/Linear quantized Neural Networks
In this work, we developed and tested 3 techniques for vector quantization (VQ) based model weight compression. To mitigate codebook collapse and enable end-to-end training, we adopted cosine similarity-based assignment. Building on ideas from attention-based formulations in Differentiable K-Means (DKM), we further improved this approach by using cosine similarity for assignment combined with top-…

Single-Source Shortest Paths and Almost Exact Diameter in Pseudodisk Graphs
We study SINGLE-SOURCE SHORTEST PATH (SSSP) on unweighted intersection graphs whose node set corresponds to a set of $n$ constant-complexity objects in the plane. We prove SSSP can be solved in $O(U(n)\ \mathrm{polylog}\,n)$ expected time for any class of objects whose union complexity is $U(n)$. In particular, we obtain an $O(n 2^{α(n)}\log^2 n)$ algorithm for arbitrary pseudodisks, and an $O(λ_{…

Core Logic and Algorithmic Performance Enhancements for a System Vulnerability Analysis Technique for Complex Mission Critical Systems Implementation
Core logic and processing improvements were made to the software for operations and network attack results review (SONARR) and are presented, herein. Previous SONARR versions' Boolean-only logic, derived from the Blackboard Architecture, was replaced with generic logic that allows any .NET type (e.g., integers, decimals, strings) to be utilized within facts. This allows calculations and equality o…

A Linear-Time Algorithm for Finding an Odd Cycle Through Two Specified Vertices
We present a deterministic linear-time algorithm for finding an odd cycle through two specified vertices in an undirected graph. This is shown in a generalized form as follows: Let $Γ$ be any group in which every element is of order at most $2$. For a given $Γ$-labeled graph with two specified vertices (or edges), we can determine in linear time whether there exist two cycles with distinct labels …

Approximate Maintenance of Maximum Subarray Sum in the Sliding Window Model
In the sliding window model, we are required to maintain the target statistics over the most recent $n$ elements of a data stream, which is captured by a window of size $n$ sliding over the data stream. Exact computation usually requires space linear in $n$, and the central goal is approximate maintenance using sublinear space. In this paper, we study the problem of maintaining the maximum subarra…

A Topology fixated Shape Gradient Framework for Non Simple Boundary Extraction for CIE Lab color images with Repulsive Energy
A levelset free but a hybrid image segmentation approach based on a modified version of the piece wise constant shape gradient of an Mumford Shah shape functional and a repulsive function is considered. The segmentation is performed a non-local shape based through an evolution of discrete curves driven by a non local shape based energy to segment images containing disjoint regions and multiple bou…

A satellite foundation model for improved wealth monitoring
Poverty statistics guide social policy, but in many low- and middle-income countries, censuses and household surveys that collect these data are costly, infrequent, quickly outdated, and sometimes error-prone. Satellite imagery offers global coverage and the possibility of predicting economic livelihoods at scale, yet existing approaches to predicting livelihoods with imagery or other non-traditio…

BSViT: A Burst Spiking Vision Transformer for Expressive and Efficient Visual Representation Learning
Spiking Vision Transformers (S-ViTs) offer a promising framework for energy-efficient visual learning. However, existing designs remain limited by two fundamental issues: the restricted information capacity of binary spike coding and the dense token interactions introduced by global self-attention. To address these challenges, this work proposes BSViT, a burst spiking-driven Vision Transformer fea…

Assessing EMRI Detectability of the Rotating Quantum Oppenheimer-Snyder Black Hole
This letter presents an assessment of quantum gravity effects on extreme-mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) for the rotating quantum Oppenheimer-Snyder (qOS) black hole. Employing the adiabatic evolution, we compute the gravitational wave (GW) dephasing, which quantifies the cumulative phase shift induced by the quantum correction α . We further generate the augmented analytic kludge (AAK) waveform and …

The Energy Based Near Singularity for Fourier Spectral 3D Navier-Stokes Equations
We investigate the three-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. The equations are discretized with Fourier spectral method and a fourth-order Runge-Kutta scheme in time. The spectral accuracy, resolution conditions, and an energy based conditional regularity framework are established analytically. Then we prove exponential convergence in space, algebraic convergence in time, and an a …

Quantifying opinion homophily in online social networks: A bounded confidence perspective
The concept of homophily is pervasive in online social media. While many empirical studies have relied on external sociodemographic traits to investigate it, significantly less is known about homophily at the cognitive level, that is, at the level of shared opinions or values. For such "value homophily", in this paper we study interval-based patterns of opinion homophily from a bounded confidence …

Birds of a Feather Cluster Nearby: a Proximity-Aware Geo-Codebook for Local Service Recommendation
Generative recommendation systems are increasingly adopted in local service platforms, where semantic relevance alone is insufficient without strict geographic feasibility. A key technical challenge lies in semantic ID (SID) tokenization, which directly impacts the recommendation performance. However, existing semantic codebooks neglect geographic constraints, often resulting in recommendations th…

Mesh-Intrinsic GFEM: High-Order Smoothness on $C^0$ Unstructured Meshes
High-order partial differential equations (PDEs) require derivative regularity that standard $C^0$ finite element infrastructures do not directly provide on unstructured meshes. We propose a mesh-intrinsic generalized finite element method (MiGFEM) that reconstructs local polynomial fields on overlapping nodal patches from shared nodal unknowns and blends them by a partition of unity, without intr…

A bivariate cure copula model with zero-inflated gamma frailty: dependence in both cure fractions and survival times
In biomedical studies, paired survival data arise naturally when two event times are observed within the same subject. Existing statistical models seldom accommodate both cure fractions and complex dependence structures. In this paper, we propose a novel bivariate cure frailty-copula model for paired survival data with a cure fraction. By incorporating a zero-inflated gamma frailty, the proposed f…

RANalyzer: Automated Continuous RAN Software Evaluation and Regression Analysis
Software-driven O-RAN architectures enable rapid innovation through frequent, independent updates to virtualized components. However, attributing performance variations to specific software changes is challenging due to the stochastic nature of wireless systems, where channel conditions, interference, and hardware variability confound analysis. Traditional threshold-based monitoring and manual tro…

Scaling Multi-Node Mixture-of-Experts Inference Using Expert Activation Patterns
Most recent state-of-the-art (SOTA) large language models (LLMs) use Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures to scale model capacity without proportional per-token compute, enabling higher-quality outputs at manageable serving costs. However, MoE inference at scale is fundamentally bottlenecked by expert load imbalance and inefficient token routing, especially in multi-node deployments where tokens…

PhySE: A Psychological Framework for Real-Time AR-LLM Social Engineering Attacks
The emerging threat of AR-LLM-based Social Engineering (AR-LLM-SE) attacks (e.g. SEAR) poses a significant risk to real-world social interactions. In such an attack, a malicious actor uses Augmented Reality (AR) glasses to capture a target visual and vocal data. A Large Language Model (LLM) then analyzes this data to identify the individual and generate a detailed social profile. Subsequently, LLM…

A graph-based Neural Network surrogate model for accelerating semi-analytical model of galaxy formation and evolution
Understanding how galaxy populations emerge and evolve from the growth of dark matter structure is a central challenge in galaxy formation theory. Semi-analytic models (SAMs) provide an efficient framework to address this problem, but exploring large ensembles of merger trees across broad parameter spaces remains computationally demanding. We develop a conditional graph neural network surrogate mo…
