One thing I think the news reports are missing about the guy killed by an MRI machine while wearing a 9kg metal chain, is that you *can't* flip a switch and quickly turn off the magnetism, even in emergency situations. Shutting down is a slow involved process, and many MRI magnets are always active for their working life.

Synergizing Static Analysis with Large Language Models for Vulnerability Discovery and beyond
This report examines the synergy between Large Language Models (LLMs) and Static Application Security Testing (SAST) to improve vulnerability discovery. Traditional SAST tools, while effective for proactive security, are limited by high false-positive rates and a lack of contextual understanding. Conversely, LLMs excel at code analysis and pattern recognition but can be prone to inconsistencies and hallucinations. By integrating these two technologies, a more intelligent and efficient system is…

On the critical parameters of branching random walks
Given a discrete spatial structure $X$, we define continuous-time branching processes that model a population breeding and dying on $X$. These processes are usually called branching random walks. They are characterized by breeding rates $k_{xy}$ between sites (ruling the speed at which individuals at $x$ send children to $y$) and by the multiplicative speed parameter $λ$. Two critical parameters of interest are the global critical parameter $λ_w$, related to global survival, and the local cri…

MGT-Prism: Enhancing Domain Generalization for Machine-Generated Text Detection via Spectral Alignment
Large Language Models have shown growing ability to generate fluent and coherent texts that are highly similar to the writing style of humans. Current detectors for Machine-Generated Text (MGT) perform well when they are trained and tested in the same domain but generalize poorly to unseen domains, due to domain shift between data from different sources. In this work, we propose MGT-Prism, an MGT detection method from the perspective of the frequency domain for better domain generalization. Our…
