On Aug. 1, shortly after the Bureau of Labor Statistics released a surprisingly weak employment report,
the conservative economist E.J. Antoni joined Steve Bannon’s influential “War Room” podcast.
“Have we put in our own person into B.L.S.?” Mr. Bannon asked Dr. Antoni.
“Is a MAGA Republican, that President Trump knows and trusts, are they running the Bureau of Labor Statistics yet?”
“No, unfortunately, Steve, we still haven’t gotten there,” Dr. Antoni replied,

Charlie Kirk war kein Märtyrer. Ein Kommentar
Der ermordete konservative US-Aktivist war nicht nur ein sportlicher Debattierer – er hat auch politische Gewalt befürwortet. Diese Widersprüchlichkeit zu verschweigen, ist falsch.

Efficient Trie-based Biasing using K-step Prediction for Rare Word Recognition
Contextual biasing improves rare word recognition of ASR models by prioritizing the output of rare words during decoding. A common approach is Trie-based biasing, which gives "bonus scores" to partial hypothesis (e.g. "Bon") that may lead to the generation of the rare word (e.g. "Bonham"). If the full word ("Bonham") isn't ultimately recognized, the system revokes those earlier bonuses. This revocation is limited to beam search and is computationally expensive, particularly for models with larg…

Dependent-Type-Preserving Memory Allocation
Dependently typed programming languages such as Coq, Agda, Idris, and F*, allow programmers to write detailed specifications of their programs and prove their programs meet these specifications. However, these specifications can be violated during compilation since they are erased after type checking. External programs linked with the compiled program can violate the specifications of the original program and change the behavior of the compiled program -- even when compiled with a verified comp…

Prompting the Market? A Large-Scale Meta-Analysis of GenAI in Finance NLP (2022-2025)
Large Language Models (LLMs) have rapidly reshaped financial NLP, enabling new tasks and driving a proliferation of datasets and diversification of data sources. Yet, this transformation has outpaced traditional surveys. In this paper, we present MetaGraph, a generalizable methodology for extracting knowledge graphs from scientific literature and analyzing them to obtain a structured, queryable view of research trends. We define an ontology for financial NLP research and apply an LLM-based extr…
