I fucking hate the word "embrace," being autistic. It feels so fake, like a glitchy AI word that doesn’t match how my brain works.
It makes me want to scream inside because it’s too soft, too forced, and just wrong for me. I can’t use it without feeling like I’m lying to myself.

Joint Data Hiding and Partial Encryption of Compressive Sensed Streams
The paper proposes a method to secure the Compressive Sensing (CS) streams. It consists in protecting part of the measurements by a secret key and inserting the code into the rest. The secret key is generated via a cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generator (CSPRNG) and XORed with the measurements to be inserted. For insertion, we use a reversible data hiding (RDH) scheme, which is a prediction error expansion algorithm, modified to match the statistics of CS measurements. The reco…

A Framework for Building Data Structures from Communication Protocols
We present a general framework for designing efficient data structures for high-dimensional pattern-matching problems ($\exists \;? i\in[n], f(x_i,y)=1$) through communication models in which $f(x,y)$ admits sublinear communication protocols with exponentially-small error. Specifically, we reduce the data structure problem to the Unambiguous Arthur-Merlin (UAM) communication complexity of $f(x,y)$ under product distributions. We apply our framework to the Partial Match problem (a.k.a, matchin…

Nonstabilizerness and Error Resilience in Noisy Quantum Circuits
We investigate how noise impacts nonstabilizerness - a key resource for quantum advantage - in many-body qubit systems. While noise typically degrades quantum resources, we show that amplitude damping, a nonunital channel, can generate or enhance magic, whereas depolarizing noise provably cannot. In an encoding-decoding protocol, we find that, unlike in the coherent case, a sharp decoding fidelity transition does not match a transition in nonstabilizerness. Our results point toward the possibil…

A general vectorised switch() — case_match
This function allows you to vectorise multiple switch() statements. Each case is evaluated sequentially and the first match for each element determines the corresponding value in the output vector. If no cases match, the .default is used. case_match() is an R equivalent of the SQL "simple" CASE WHEN statement. Connection to case_when() While case_when() uses logical expressions on the left-hand side of the formula, case_match() uses values to match against .x with. The following two statement…

JWST Near Infrared Spectroscopy of High Albedo Jupiter Trojans: A New Surface Type in the Trojan Belt
We present 0.8 to 5 $μ$m JWST spectra of four $\sim$20 km diameter Jupiter Trojans known to have albedos elevated above the values typical in the remaining Trojan population. The spectra of these four high albedo Jupiter Trojans are all similar, with red slopes in the optical-IR transition region, a break to lower slopes at 1.3 $μ$m, and a broad absorptions from 2.8 to 4 $μ$m. The 0.8 to 2.5 $μ$m spectra of these objects match the spectra of neither the well-known "red" and "less-red" Jupit…

Distributed Interview Selection for Stable Matching in Large Random Markets
In real-world settings of the Deferred Acceptance stable matching algorithm, such as the American medical residency match (NRMP), school choice programs, and various national university entrance systems, candidates need to decide which programs to list. In many of these settings there is an initial phase of interviews or information gathering which affect the preferences on one or both sides. We ask: which interviews should candidates seek?

Multilevel Decomposition of Generalized Entropy Measures Using Constrained Bayes Estimation: An Application to Japanese Regional Data
We propose a method for multilevel decomposition of generalized entropy (GE) measures that explicitly accounts for nested population structures such as national, regional, and subregional levels. Standard approaches that estimate GE separately at each level do not guarantee compatibility with multilevel decomposition. Our method constrains lower-level GE estimates to match higher-level benchmarks while preserving hierarchical relationships across layers. We apply the method to Japanese income d…

On the Role of Color Temperature and Color Rendering Index of White-Light LEDs on the Theoretical Efficiency Limit of Indoor Photovoltaics
As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to grow, the demand for sustainable indoor power sources is increasing. Indoor photovoltaics (IPVs), which are currently in development, present a renewable solution but need to be designed to match specific light sources. While previous studies have emphasized the role of white-light LED color temperature (CT) in determining IPV efficiency and optimum bandgap energy, the role of color rendering index (CRI) remains less understood. In this study, we emp…

Crossing numbers of dense graphs on surfaces
In this paper, we provide upper and lower bounds on the crossing numbers of dense graphs on surfaces, which match up to constant factors. First, we prove that if $G$ is a dense enough graph with $m$ edges and $Σ$ is a surface of genus $g$, then any drawing of $G$ on $Σ$ incurs at least $Ω\left(\frac{m^2}{g} \log ^2 g\right)$ crossings. The poly-logarithmic factor in this lower bound is new even in the case of complete graphs and disproves a conjecture of Shahrokhi, Székely and Vrt'o from 19…

In this paper, we test whether Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) can match human-subject performance in tasks involving the perception of properties in network layouts. Specifically, we replicate a human-subject experiment about perceiving quality (namely stress) in network layouts using GPT-4o and Gemini-2.5. Our experiments show that giving MLLMs exactly the same study information as trained human participants results in a similar performance to human experts and exceeds the performanc…

Causal Graph Recovery in Neuroimaging through Answer Set Programming
Learning graphical causal structures from time series data presents significant challenges, especially when the measurement frequency does not match the causal timescale of the system. This often leads to a set of equally possible underlying causal graphs due to information loss from sub-sampling (i.e., not observing all possible states of the system throughout time). Our research addresses this challenge by incorporating the effects of sub-sampling in the derivation of causal graphs, resulting…

On the effect of the light bending phenomenon for a pulsar in a binary with a Kerr black hole
We study the effect of light-bending on the signal of a pulsar in binaries with rotating black hole companions, focusing on stellar mass black holes. We show that the impacts of various parameters on the bending delays visually match with those observed for a non-rotating black holes, because the magnitude of the spin as well as the orientation of the spin axis of the black hole introduce changes in the nanosecond order and other parameters do so in the microsecond order. Consequently, the dist…

Pseudo-isotopy versus isotopy for homeomorphisms of 4-manifolds
We define obstructions which obstruct topological pseudo-isotopies from being isotopic to isotopies in dimension four. These match the smooth obstructions of Hatcher-Wagoner for smooth pseudo-isotopies, and accordingly are valued in certain Whitehead groups. We show that our obstructions are fully realisable, and we use these realisations to build homeomorphisms of $Y\times S^1$ for many 3-manifolds $Y$ that are pseudo-isotopic to the identity but not isotopic to the identity.

Spin-Dependent Scattering of Sub-GeV Dark Matter: Models and Constraints
We calculate the scattering rate of sub-GeV dark matter in solid-state targets for spin-dependent dark matter -- nucleon interactions. For dark matter particles with mass below 100 MeV, the scattering occurs predominantly through incoherent phonon production. For dark matter heavier than 100 MeV, we match onto the nuclear recoil calculation. To compare the sensitivity of future direct detection experiments with existing constraints, we consider three models with interactions which are mediated …

Can Biologically Plausible Temporal Credit Assignment Rules Match BPTT for Neural Similarity? E-prop as an Example
Understanding how the brain learns may be informed by studying biologically plausible learning rules. These rules, often approximating gradient descent learning to respect biological constraints such as locality, must meet two critical criteria to be considered an appropriate brain model: (1) good neuroscience task performance and (2) alignment with neural recordings. While extensive research has assessed the first criterion, the second remains underexamined. Employing methods such as Procruste…

The definition of the parametric moment is introduced, and methods (model-based and data-driven) for the approximation of the parametric moment of linear and nonlinear parametric systems are proposed. These approximations are exploited to construct families of parametric reduced-order models that match the approximate parametric moment of the system to be reduced and preserve key system properties suc…

The hot circumgalactic medium in stacked X-rays: observations vs simulations
Current cosmological simulations rely on active galactic nuclei (AGN) feedback to quench star formation and match observed stellar mass distributions, but models for AGN feedback are poorly constrained. The circumgalactic medium (CGM) provides a helpful laboratory to study this process, as its metallicity, temperature, and density distributions are directly impacted by AGN. Recent observations from the eROSITA instrument provide constraints on these distributions through measurements of extende…

However, effective and efficient training of SNNs remains an unresolved challenge. While backpropagation through time (BPTT) achieves high accuracy, it incurs substantial memory overhead. In contrast, biologically plausible local learning methods are more memory-efficient but struggle to match the accuracy of BPTT. To bridge this gap, we propose spatio-tempora…
