Largest dyadic dual VC-dimension of non-piercing families
The dyadic dual VC-dimension of a set system \( \mathcal{F} \) is the largest integer \( \ell \) such that there exist \( \ell \) sets \( F_1, F_{2}, \dots, F_\ell \in \mathcal{F} \), where every pair \( \{i, j\} \in \binom{[\ell]}{2} \) is witnessed by an element \( a_{i,j} \in F_i \cap F_j \) that does not belong to any other set \( F_k \) with \( k \in [\ell] \setminus \{i, j\} \). In this paper, we determine the largest dyadic dual VC-dimension of a non-piercing family is exactly $4$, provi…

Maximally-Informative Retrieval for State Space Model Generation
Given a query and dataset, the optimal way of answering the query is to make use all the information available. Modern LLMs exhibit impressive ability to memorize training data, but data not deemed important during training is forgotten, and information outside that training set cannot be made use of. Processing an entire dataset at inference time is infeasible due to the bounded nature of model resources (e.g. context size in transformers or states in state space models), meaning we must resor…

Dr. GPT Will See You Now, but Should It? Exploring the Benefits and Harms of Large Language Models in Medical Diagnosis using Crowdsourced Clinical Cases
The proliferation of Large Language Models (LLMs) in high-stakes applications such as medical (self-)diagnosis and preliminary triage raises significant ethical and practical concerns about the effectiveness, appropriateness, and possible harmfulness of the use of these technologies for health-related concerns and queries. Some prior work has considered the effectiveness of LLMs in answering expert-written health queries/prompts, questions from medical examination banks, or queries based on pre…

Feeling Machines: Ethics, Culture, and the Rise of Emotional AI
This paper explores the growing presence of emotionally responsive artificial intelligence through a critical and interdisciplinary lens. Bringing together the voices of early-career researchers from multiple fields, it explores how AI systems that simulate or interpret human emotions are reshaping our interactions in areas such as education, healthcare, mental health, caregiving, and digital life. The analysis is structured around four central themes: the ethical implications of emotional AI, …

Convergence Analysis of a Dual-Wind Discontinuous Galerkin Method for an Elliptic Optimal Control Problem with Control Constraints
This paper investigates a symmetric dual-wind discontinuous Galerkin (DWDG) method for solving an elliptic optimal control problem with control constraints. The governing constraint is an elliptic partial differential equation (PDE), which is discretized using the symmetric DWDG approach. We derive error estimates in the energy norm for both the state and the adjoint state, as well as in the $L^2$ norm of the control variable. Numerical experiments are provided to demonstrate the robustness and…

Steve Bannon illustrates the key point we made in ‘The Life of Brian’ - that people makes what they like of religious teaching Matthew 26,52 And then Jesus said unto him ‘Put your sword back into its place, for those who take the sword will perish by the sword” Steve Bannon has rewritten this as “Live by the sword, die by the sword” as though it was a command. I prefer Jesus’s warning of the consequences of violence Only a MAGA Christian could believe that Christ was inciti…
