Anne Carson’s Nobel-winning, genre-defying work bridges the gap between ancient Greek literature and modern life
Whether via her fill-in-the-blank translations or guest appearances on indie rock albums, Anne Carson has infused antiquity with a contemporary tongue
Why fall yard care could start with doing less – but not nothing
Fallen leaves provide essential winter habitat for native pollinators and provide natural mulch for the soil. If you have to clear some leaves, don’t get rid of them entirely: Move them out of sight.
How Hurricane Isaias broke through to become the first Atlantic hurricane in an extremely quiet 2026 season
An atmospheric scientist explains what’s been going on in the atmosphere, and how El Niño and the jet stream both play important roles.
What we talk about when we talk about US strategic ‘credibility’ – from Vietnam to Iran
‘Credibility is on the line’ has long been a refrain guiding U.S. foreign policy.
When abortion and surrogacy law collide, contracts can’t answer the hardest questions
A custody battle over a newborn with a heart condition raised a question courts have rarely faced: Can anyone be forced to end a pregnancy?
The oil market that sets today’s gas prices was invented in western Pennsylvania
A historian traces how Oil City brokers, then John D. Rockefeller, then futures exchanges decided what the world pays for crude – and why no one entity does today.
Why faculty diversity at universities still lags far behind the changing demographics of college students
College faculties have become more diverse since the 1970s, but college faculty of color still often find that they feel marginalized among their peers.
Students from military families are often misunderstood in US public schools – a retired military officer and behavioral health expert explains what schools can…
Students from military families have specific experiences and needs that require support from their schools.
Iraqi Kurds sees opportunities – and risks – in the withdrawal of US troops
The region may become less of a target for groups seeking to pressure the United States. But the Kurds also have less security support now, should they need it.
Data centers make heat all year long – here’s how the ground can hold onto it until winter
Rocks deep underground can be used to hold heat until it’s needed.
We blasted mobile homes with hurricane-force winds to test how they fail – and found clues for making affordable housing safer
Engineers are using a unique test facility called the Wall of Wind to develop housing that’s both affordable and disaster-resistant. Their tests show the magnitude of the challenge.
An Explainable Header-Centric Framework for Large-Scale Semantic Table Interpretation and Data Quality Assessment
arXiv:2610.10541v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Knowledge Graph (KG) quality depends not only on downstream graph validation, but also on the quality of tabular metadata used before integration. In metadata-only Semantic…
A Modular Event-Driven Software Architecture for Open-Source Industrial IoT Edge Gateways
arXiv:2610.10544v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Integrating legacy industrial machinery into modern cloud infrastructures poses a significant software engineering challenge. Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) deploymen…
DLCB: Ahead-of-Time Compilation for Dynamic Deep Learning
arXiv:2610.10547v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deep learning workloads are increasingly deployed in settings where tensor shapes are not fully known at compile time. Batch sizes vary across requests, sequence lengths di…
Synthesis Through Simulation: Generating Coherent Enterprise Data via Scalable Agent-System Interaction
arXiv:2610.10549v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Tool-calling agents have become central to enterprise AI, yet training and evaluating them at scale remains severely constrained due to business and legal restrictions on e…
Diffu-LoRA: A Novel Low-Rank Adaptation for Personalized Diffusion Models
arXiv:2610.10550v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Personalizing text-to-image diffusion models from a few reference images requires preserving subject identity while following prompts that describe new contexts. Full-model…
Freeze the Decoder, Heal the Encoder: Parameter-Efficient Adaptation for SVD-Based KV-Cache Compression
arXiv:2610.10552v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Comparing parameter-efficient fine-tuning recipes under a single, shared learning rate is a common but flawed practice: when the arms being compared have very different tra…
GaussianBench: Physics-Fidelity Evaluation for Gaussian Scene Representations
arXiv:2610.10554v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: 3D Gaussian Splatting has evolved from static reconstruction toward physics-integrated representations meant to predict how scenes change under interaction. This creates an…
LIFT: A Lifecycle-aware Interaction Factorization Transformer for Unified Retrieval and Ranking
arXiv:2610.10556v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Cascaded recommender systems use the same user history for retrieval and ranking, while the two stages have access to different information at different points of an intera…
SLVR: Structured Latent Visual Reasoning via Human-like Reasoning Flows
arXiv:2610.10563v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) often answer visual reasoning questions by relying on linguistic priors rather than task-relevant visual evidence. Textual chain-of…
