Operator-Consistent Physics-Informed Learning for Wafer Thermal Reconstruction in Lithography
Thermal field reconstruction in post-exposure bake (PEB) is critical for advanced lithography, but current methods lack consistent accuracy and physical alignment. To bridge this gap, we introduce a physics-informed neural model that unifies coordinates, fields, and differential operators on a single computation graph using gated liquid layers. Applied to a 2D PEB scenario with internal heat generation and convective boundaries, the model formulates residuals via differential forms and a loss f…

China Suspends Export Controls on More Critical Minerals
The changes would make it easier for American firms to obtain key minerals, delivering on what the White House said the two countries had agreed to at last month’s summit.

Improving Survival Models in Healthcare by Balancing Imbalanced Cohorts: A Novel Approach
We explore whether survival model performance in underrepresented high- and low-risk subgroups - regions of the prognostic spectrum where clinical decisions are most consequential - can be improved through targeted restructuring of the training dataset. Rather than modifying model architecture, we propose a novel risk-stratified sampling method that addresses imbalances in prognostic subgroup density to support more reliable learning in underrepresented tail strata. We introduce a novel methodo…

Rough SABR Forward Market Model
This paper advances interest rate modeling in the post-LIBOR era by introducing rough stochastic volatility into the Forward Market Model (FMM). We establish a rigorous asymptotic expansion of swaption implied volatility, connecting the FMM to a rough Bergomi-type framework for forward swap rates. This contribution bridges the gap between Heath-Jarrow-Morton (HJM)-consistent forward term rate models and forward swap rate models with stochastic volatility, offering a parsimonious yet precise fra…

Good Morning #Canada
Have you put up your #ChristmasTree yet? #StatsCan (2021 census data) reports there are 1,364 Christmas tree farms. Ontario (418) had the most farms, followed by British Columbia (276) and Quebec (257). Nova Scotia’s 213 farms were more than the combined total of the Prairie and Maritime provinces (199). Canadian Christmas tree producers earned nearly $163.5M in 2021, and exported over 2.4 million fresh Christmas trees that same year. most of which (97.2%) ended up in the United States. Final destinations for most of them were Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Michigan, North Carolina and Virginia. Trump's tariffs hit artificial trees with a 30% price hike which means it could be an excellent year for real Canadian trees in the U.S. market. Most of the remaining exports in 2021 were to warmer climates in the Western Hemisphere, including Panama, Curaçao, Bermuda, Aruba, St. Maarten (Dutch part) and Barbados.
