ParaEQsA: Parallel and Asynchronous Embodied Questions Scheduling and Answering
This paper formulates the Embodied Questions Answering (EQsA) problem, introduces a corresponding benchmark, and proposes a system to tackle the problem. Classical Embodied Question Answering (EQA) is typically formulated as answering one single question by actively exploring a 3D environment. Real deployments, however, often demand handling multiple questions that may arrive asynchronously and carry different urgencies. We formalize this setting as Embodied Questions Answering (EQsA) and prese…

Fine-structure Line Atlas for Multi-wavelength Extragalactic Study (FLAMES) III: [C II] as Tracer, Crisis of SFR, [O III]/[C II] at High-z, New Answers and New Questions
In the final paper of this series, we discuss new perspectives and challenges in the study of interstellar medium (ISM), leveraging comprehensive catalogs and physical insights presented in our previous papers. We focus on key questions of far-infrared (FIR) fine-structure lines (FSLs): their origins, diagnostic value, and implications of correlations. Our analysis reveals a strong dependence on elemental abundance, so that FSL/H$α$ traces metallicity, [N II]/[C II] traces N/O, and $\sim$80% o…

Is ChatGPT-5 Ready for Mammogram VQA?
Mammogram visual question answering (VQA) integrates image interpretation with clinical reasoning and has potential to support breast cancer screening. We systematically evaluated the GPT-5 family and GPT-4o model on four public mammography datasets (EMBED, InBreast, CMMD, CBIS-DDSM) for BI-RADS assessment, abnormality detection, and malignancy classification tasks. GPT-5 consistently was the best performing model but lagged behind both human experts and domain-specific fine-tuned models. On EM…

Unavoidable pivot-minors in graphs of large rank-depth
Shrub-depth and rank-depth are related graph parameters that are dense analogs of tree-depth. We prove that for every positive integer $t$, every graph of sufficiently large rank-depth contains a pivot-minor isomorphic to a path on $t$ vertices or a graph consisting of two disjoint cliques of size $t$ joined by a half graph. This answers an open problem raised by Kwon, McCarty, Oum, and Wollan in 2021.

Use of a genetic algorithm to find solutions to introductory physics problems
In this work, we show how a genetic algorithm (GA) can be used to find step-by-step solutions to introductory physics problems. Our perspective is that the underlying task for this is one of finding a sequence of equations that will lead to the needed answer. Here a GA is used to find an appropriate equation sequence by minimizing a fitness function that measures the difference between the number of unknowns versus knowns in a set of equations. Information about knowns comes from the GA posing …

Performance of GPT-5 Frontier Models in Ophthalmology Question Answering
Large language models (LLMs) such as GPT-5 integrate advanced reasoning capabilities that may improve performance on complex medical question-answering tasks. For this latest generation of reasoning models, the configurations that maximize both accuracy and cost-efficiency have yet to be established. We evaluated 12 configurations of OpenAI's GPT-5 series (three model tiers across four reasoning effort settings) alongside o1-high, o3-high, and GPT-4o, using 260 closed-access multiple-choice que…

❝I have noticed that we people privileged by supremacy have a tendency to take this same stance toward newly aware people, a stance which is not ours to assume. We seem to feel that it is our business to meet people who are in the same place that we were just a few short years or decades ago, and meet their shock and surprise and anger and dismay with a skepticism and an impatience we haven't earned.
We say things like "are you surprised?"
We say things like "why does this shock you?"
We say "oh so you're only angry now?"
We say things like "where have you been?"
…
Instead of asking “are you surprised?” say “I was surprised once, too; here's what I know.” Instead of “what took you so long?” say “I just got here recently; here's what I've learned.”❞ https://mastodon.social/@JuliusGoat/114847074342312772

Edge-coloring $K_{n, n}$ with no 2-colored $C_{2k}$

Edge-coloring $K_{n, n}$ with no 2-colored $C_{2k}$
The generalized Ramsey number $r(G, H, q)$ is the minimum number of colors needed to color the edges of $G$ such that every isomorphic copy of $H$ has at least $q$ colors. In this note, we improve the upper and lower bounds on $r(K_{n, n}, C_{2k}, 3)$. Our upper bound answers a question of Lane and Morrison. For $k=3$ we obtain the asymptotically sharp estimate $r(K_{n, n}, C_6, 3) = \frac{7}{20} n + o(n)$.

Agentic LLMs for Question Answering over Tabular Data
Question Answering over Tabular Data (Table QA) presents unique challenges due to the diverse structure, size, and data types of real-world tables. The SemEval 2025 Task 8 (DataBench) introduced a benchmark composed of large-scale, domain-diverse datasets to evaluate the ability of models to accurately answer structured queries. We propose a Natural Language to SQL (NL-to-SQL) approach leveraging large language models (LLMs) such as GPT-4o, GPT-4o-mini, and DeepSeek v2:16b to generate SQL queri…
