Which Word Orders Facilitate Length Generalization in LMs? An Investigation with GCG-Based Artificial Languages
Whether language models (LMs) have inductive biases that favor typologically frequent grammatical properties over rare, implausible ones has been investigated, typically using artificial languages (ALs) (White and Cotterell, 2021; Kuribayashi et al., 2024). In this paper, we extend these works from two perspectives. First, we extend their context-free AL formalization by adopting Generalized Categorial Grammar (GCG) (Wood, 2014), which allows ALs to cover attested but previously overlooked cons…

Every year, as I come up on my birthday, I start to think a lot more about the shooting. The intensity was a bit lower after Trump left office the first time, but October of 2024 was pretty intense.
As I've been processing through all this, I thought about the cards and letters folks sent to me in the hospital. I have a box of them in the US and sometimes I think about asking for them to be sent here. But things have a tenancy to get lost in the mail on the way here.
There's a little bit of a trapped and incomplete feeling, that Trump's chaos makes feel even more intense.
So I decided to write a bit about that box, and the hospital, and death.

MATH-Beyond: A Benchmark for RL to Expand Beyond the Base Model
With the advent of DeepSeek-R1, a new wave of reinforcement learning (RL) methods has emerged that seem to unlock stronger mathematical reasoning. However, a closer look at the open-source ecosystem reveals a critical limitation: with sufficiently many draws (e.g., $\texttt{pass@1024}$), many existing base models already solve nearly all questions on widely used math benchmarks such as MATH-500 and AIME 2024. This suggests that the RL fine-tuning methods prevalent in the LLM reasoning literatur…

Expansion of trivariate polynomials using proximity
We extend the proximity technique of Solymosi and Zahl [J. Combin. Theory, Ser. A (2024)] to the setting of trivariate polynomials. In particular, we prove the following result: Let $f(x,y,z)=(x-y)^2+(φ(x)-z)^2$, where $φ(x)\in \mathbb{R}[x]$ has degree at least 3. Then, for every finite $A,B,C\subset \mathbb{R}$ each of size $n$, one has $|f(A,B,C)|=Ω(n^{5/3-\varepsilon})$, for every $\varepsilon>0$, where the constant of proportionality depends on $\varepsilon$ and on ${\rm deg}(…

Simultaneously, near the Northern footpoint of the oscillating loop, we detect a $49.6 \pm 5.0$-min periodic variation of the average projected photospheric magnetic field observed with SDO/HMI.

Radial Velocity Monitoring and Analysis of Gaia Astrometry of Selected Intermediate Mass Stars to Constrain Their Multiplicity Status
We present new radial velocity measurements of 13 selected intermediate mass stars (2 - 6 M$_\odot$). The measurements were performed between 29 April and 6 September 2024 at the University Observatory Jena using the échelle spectrograph FLECHAS. The radial velocity of eight stars was found to be constant during our spectroscopic monitoring, namely: 17 Dra A, HD 148374, HD 169487 A, 57 Cnc, $γ$ And, HD 11031, $κ$ And, and $λ$ Cas.
