Rock, Paper, Scissors, ... Dynamite - A Model of Disruption from New Technologies
arXiv:2609.00207v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We seek to understand the effect of adding disruptive highly-capable new technologies to competitions by assessing the addition of Dynamite to Rock-Paper-Scissors. We fin…
An Algebraic Framework for Data Systems: Classification and Optimization of Algebraic Structures for Data Organization and Coding
arXiv:2609.00273v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern data systems are commonly studied through computational and information-theoretic methods, while their algebraic properties remain largely unexplored. This paper i…
Exact Global MCMC with Denoising Diffusion
arXiv:2609.00279v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This work shows that diffusion models learned with standard denoising loss can provide effective global MCMC proposals for complex high-dimensional target densities. The …
A Human-AI Theorem Connecting Spontaneous and Field-Induced Mechanisms of Collective Behavior in One Dimension
arXiv:2609.00322v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Can an artificial intelligence (AI) generate a scientific hypothesis outside a human collaborator's active hypothesis space (AHS), and can human-AI research be organized …
Modeling of Mobility and Energy Policies in an Agent-Based Framework: Case Studies for Chicago Region in 2050
arXiv:2609.00327v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Metropolitan regions are simultaneously pursuing several interventions to improve mobility, accessibility, and energy efficiency, necessitating integrated tools to unders…
Latent-Space No-Arbitrage Geometry of Generative Models for Implied Volatility Surfaces
arXiv:2609.00332v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Generative models for implied volatility surfaces must produce outputs that satisfy static no-arbitrage constraints. We study these constraints in latent space. For a fix…
Towards unsupervised representation learning for quantum data: quantum models with inference and generation
arXiv:2609.00372v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: With quantum sensors, simulators and networks emerging, a future of quantum technology may produce quantum states as data---that is, coherently rather than as classical m…
Graphs with Long Pseudosimilarity Chains under Consecutive Vertex Deletions
arXiv:2609.00394v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Pseudosimilar vertices are vertices in distinct automorphism orbits whose deletions produce isomorphic graphs. Classical work has studied the existence, group-theoretic o…
Shannon's problem on the monotonicity of entropy and a Conjecture of Tao
arXiv:2609.00399v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Let $X_1,X_2,\ldots$ be i.i.d. finitely supported random variables in a torsion-free abelian group, and write $S_k=X_1+\cdots+X_k$, and $H(S_k)$ is the Shannon entropy $S…
A convolutional framework for detecting event-driven dynamics in energy price series
arXiv:2609.00402v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper develops a general convolutional neural network (CNN) framework for detecting heterogeneous event-driven dynamics in univariate time series windows. We show th…
Accelerating Chemical Kinetics for Exoplanet Atmospheres using Neural Networks
arXiv:2609.00428v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Observations increasingly reveal the coupled radiative, chemical, and dynamical processes that shape exoplanet atmospheres. Interpreting these atmospheres requires models…
U-PAST: A Phase-Aware Audio Spectrogram Transformer-U-Net for Single-Channel Speech Enhancement
arXiv:2609.00431v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Convolutional neural networks (CNNs), used widely and successfully in audio enhancement, capture long-range time-frequency dependencies only indirectly, through successiv…
Physiological Information Reliability: Cross-Layer Adaptive Resource Allocation for Cardiovascular Sensing
arXiv:2609.00435v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Cardiovascular sensing systems must preserve clinically useful information despite signal degradation, wireless losses, energy constraints, and edge-computation latency. …
Single- and Multilevel Quadrature with Error Control for Fourier Pricing under the Rough Heston Model
arXiv:2609.00438v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Unlike the classical Heston model, Fourier pricing under the rough Heston model requires solving a fractional Riccati equation at every quadrature point. Since the requir…
Operational Regimes in Non-Convex Optimization: A Multiplier-Based Taxonomy
arXiv:2609.00471v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper introduces a structural taxonomy for constrained non-convex optimization based on the signature of Lagrange multipliers at KKT stationary points. Leveraging a …
Expert-like Bone Ultrasound Segmentation through Expert-in-the-loop Mask-conditioned Progressive Learning
arXiv:2609.00473v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Manual annotation remains a major bottleneck in ultrasound (US) bone segmentation, where experts typically iteratively refine rough brush masks rather than delineating pr…
Fractal dimension predicts quantum kernel collapse in angle-encoded data
arXiv:2609.00475v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Angle-encoded quantum kernels on tabular data collapse when the feature map is wider than the intrinsic dimension of the data. We propose the correlation fractal dimensio…
Extremum Seeking Control: Three Revolutions and the Road Ahead
arXiv:2609.00484v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The history of extremum seeking is not merely the history of an algorithm; it is the history of an idea. Few ideas in control engineering have demonstrated the remarkable…
Importance and methods to control, vary, and characterize mud strength for studying locomotion
