Probit Monotone BART
Bayesian Additive Regression Trees (BART) of Chipman et al. (2010) has proven to be a powerful tool for nonparametric modeling and prediction. Monotone BART (Chipman et al., 2022) is a recent development that allows BART to be more precise in estimating monotonic functions. We further these developments by proposing probit monotone BART, which allows the monotone BART framework to estimate conditional mean functions when the outcome variable is binary.

A Survey of LLM-based Automated Program Repair: Taxonomies, Design Paradigms, and Applications
Large language models (LLMs) are reshaping automated program repair (APR). We categorize the recent 63 LLM-based APR systems published from January 2022 to June 2025 into four paradigms, and show how retrieval- or analysis-augmented contexts strengthen any of them. This taxonomy clarifies key trade-offs: fine-tuning delivers strong task alignment at high training cost; prompting enables rapid deployment but is limited by prompt design and context windows; procedural pipelines offer reproducible…

Krugman outlines a constellation of possible causes around a core theme: extreme uncertainty.
“What does a business do in the face of this kind of uncertainty? It tries to avoid making commitments that it may soon regret.”
Krugman tries to tie it all to Trump’s recent actions, which is dubious: the post-college job market has been crap since 2022 or 2023; Krugman’s own graph suggests it started worsening circa 2018. The larger theme of uncertainty, however, fits that timeframe.

Insight-HXMT Spectral and Timing Studies of a Giant Outburst in RX J0440.9 4431

Insight-HXMT Spectral and Timing Studies of a Giant Outburst in RX J0440.9+4431
The Be/X-ray binary pulsar RX J0440.9+4431 underwent a giant outburst in late 2022 and lasted three months. The Insight-HXMT has observed this source at several instances of the entire outburst in 2022-2023. We used these bright outburst observations of the pulsar to study its X-ray spectral and timing variability. The pulse profiles obtained at similar luminosity during the progress and declining phases of the outburst show a similar shape behavior.With the increase in source luminosity, the c…

Characterizations of weak almost ${\mathcal S}$-manifolds with curvature properties
The interest of geometers in $f$-structures is motivated by the study of the dynamics of contact foliations, as well as their applications in physics. A weak $f$-structure on a smooth manifold, introduced by V. Rovenski and R. Wolak (2022), generalizes K. Yano's (1961) $f$-structure. This generalization allows us to revisit classical theory and discover new applications related to Killing vector fields, totally geodesic foliations, Ricci-type solitons, and Einstein-type metrics. In this paper, …

A new type-1 transition in NGC 1346 revealed by (spectro)polarimetry
We present the first photo- and spectropolarimetric observations of the changing-look active galactic nucleus NGC~1346 taken with the Perkins telescope (November 2022, March 2025) and VLT/FORS2 (August and September 2024), which have revealed a new spectral transition. We find that NGC~1346 has reverted to its former (2001) type-1 spectral state after having been a type-2 active galactic nucleus from 2004 to 2022. More and more intense broad H$β$ (3720 $\pm$ 310 km.s$^{-1}$ full width at half …

APCs and citation impact of Gold OA articles authored by Ukrainian scholars before and during Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine (2020-2023)

APCs and citation impact of Gold OA articles authored by Ukrainian scholars before and during Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine (2020-2023)
This study examines how Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine affected APCs, publishing patterns, and citation impact of Gold OA articles authored by Ukrainian scholars between 2020 and 2023. Data from Scopus covers articles published before (2020-2021) and after (2022-2023) the war's onset. Statistical analysis revealed a small but significant correlation between APC amounts and citation impact, though the effect size was minimal, suggesting higher APCs did not substantially boost citations.…
