Towards Reliable and Interpretable Document Question Answering via VLMs
Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have shown strong capabilities in document understanding, particularly in identifying and extracting textual information from complex documents. Despite this, accurately localizing answers within documents remains a major challenge, limiting both interpretability and real-world applicability. To address this, we introduce \textit{DocExplainerV0}, a plug-and-play bounding-box prediction module that decouples answer generation from spatial localization. This design m…

From to : Multidimensional Supervision of Reasoning Process for LLM Optimization
Improving the multi-step reasoning ability of Large Language Models (LLMs) is a critical yet challenging task. The dominant paradigm, outcome-supervised reinforcement learning (RLVR), rewards only correct final answers, often propagating flawed reasoning and suffering from sparse reward signals. While process-level reward models (PRMs) provide denser, step-by-step feedback, they lack generalizability and interpretability, requiring task-specific segmentation of the reasoning process. To this en…

Amkor breaks ground on Arizona advanced packaging campus, plugging critical gap in US semiconductor supply chain — production expected in 2028, investment could extend to $7 billion with 3,000 jobs in tow
Amkor moves in next door to TSMC as CHIPS Act funding continues to turn the Phoenix metro area into a chips hub.

We must stay angry and keep calling out these completely lawless killings by Trump. The International waters around Venezuela are a shooting gallery where Trump may kill as he likes.... No ally is protesting...

Fotografiert in Aarhus Ø. Ansonsten habe ich in Aarhus wenig Photovoltaik entdeckt. Dänemark produziert etwa 60% der Energie erneuerbar; Den Großteil durch Windturbinen.

Orthogonal polynomials, quantum walks and the Prouhet-Tarry-Escott problem
This paper is motivated by the following problem. Define a quantum walk on a positively weighted path (linear chain). Can the weights be tuned so that perfect state transfer occurs between the first vertex and any other position? We do not fully answer this question - in fact, we show that a particular case of this problem is equivalent to a solution of a particular case of the well known Prouhet-Tarry-Escott problem, deeming our original task certainly harder than anticipated. In our journey, …

Flip side of this: ~3 years ago, I got automated calls from “RBC Visa”. I ignored them.
Then my card stopped working.
So I called the number on the back of my card and said as much.
The agent gave me a hard time: “So you JUST IGNORED our calls about this?”
“No; I didn’t know they were you calling.”
“How did you not know they were us?! It says ‘this is RBC Visa’ when you answer!”
“That’s indistinguishable from fraud.”
He did not like that. He thought …

It's kinda weird how the Linux Foundation has accepted to become the dumping ground for tech/infrastructure that fall out of some tech hype. First they picked up a lot of Blockchain stuff, now they do AI infra.

Enhancing the Quality of 3D Lunar Maps Using JAXA's Kaguya Imagery
As global efforts to explore the Moon intensify, the need for high-quality 3D lunar maps becomes increasingly critical-particularly for long-distance missions such as NASA's Endurance mission concept, in which a rover aims to traverse 2,000 km across the South Pole-Aitken basin. Kaguya TC (Terrain Camera) images, though globally available at 10 m/pixel, suffer from altitude inaccuracies caused by stereo matching errors and JPEG-based compression artifacts. This paper presents a method to improv…

Unifying Deductive and Abductive Reasoning in Knowledge Graphs with Masked Diffusion Model
Deductive and abductive reasoning are two critical paradigms for analyzing knowledge graphs, enabling applications from financial query answering to scientific discovery. Deductive reasoning on knowledge graphs usually involves retrieving entities that satisfy a complex logical query, while abductive reasoning generates plausible logical hypotheses from observations. Despite their clear synergistic potential, where deduction can validate hypotheses and abduction can uncover deeper logical patte…
