Scaling Group Inference for Diverse and High-Quality Generation
Generative models typically sample outputs independently, and recent inference-time guidance and scaling algorithms focus on improving the quality of individual samples. However, in real-world applications, users are often presented with a set of multiple images (e.g., 4-8) for each prompt, where independent sampling tends to lead to redundant results, limiting user choices and hindering idea exploration. In this work, we introduce a scalable group inference method that improves both the divers…

Quantum Differential Equation Solvers with Low State Preparation Cost: Eliminating the Time Dependence in Dissipative Equations
Linear dissipative differential equation is a fundamental model for a large number of physical systems, such as quantum dynamics with non-Hermitian Hamiltonian, open quantum system dynamics, diffusion process and damped system. In this work, we propose efficient quantum algorithms for simulating linear dissipative differential equations. The key idea of our algorithms is to perform the simulation only over an effective time period when the dynamics has not significantly dissipated yet, rather t…

Current algorithms to find such pairs have an exponential runtime -- which has only be provably done for $B \leq 100$ and heuristically for $100 < B \leq 113$. We improve this by detailing a new algorithm to find such large pairs. The core idea is to solve the shortest vector problem (SVP) in a well constructed lattice. With this we are able to significantly increase $B$ and notably report the heuristica…

Introducing the method of ellipcenters, a new first order technique for unconstrained optimization
In this paper, we introduce the Method of Ellipcenters (ME) for unconstrained minimization. At the cost of two gradients per iteration and a line search, we compute the next iterate by setting it as the center of an elliptical interpolation. The idea behind the ellipse built in each step is to emulate the original level curve of the objective function constrained to a suitable two-dimensional affine space, which is determined by the current iterate and two appropriate gradient vectors. We prese…

This model has the advantage of an extra force term which can mimic dark matter and dark energy, and simultaneously follow Weyl's idea to unify gravity and electromagnetism. Indeed, Schwarzschild-like and Reissner-Nordstrom-like black hole solutions exist in this model, leading to new features, such as an additional horizon, due to the non-metricity vector.

Identifying close-in Jupiters that arrived via disk migration: Evidence of primordial alignment, preference of nearby companions and hint of runaway migration
Two leading hypotheses for hot Jupiter migration are disk migration and high-eccentricity migration (HEM). Stellar obliquity is commonly used to distinguish them, as high obliquity often accompanies HEM. However, low obliquity does not guarantee disk migration, due to possible spin-orbit realignment or coplanar HEM. Seeking a proxy for disk migration, we investigate the idea that when the circularization timescale of a planet on circular orbit is longer than its age ($τ_\mathrm{cir} > τ_\math…

The nonlocal diffusion equation with continuous kernel $K(x,y$, with $ \int_{R} K(y,x) \, d \, y = 1$ has been proposed as a model for some evolution process with diffusion, including population models. However, in general, we don't have $ \int_Ω K(y,x) \, d \, y = 1$, as expected from its interpretation as a probability density. In this note, we propose a modification of the kernel, based on the idea of `reflection' at the boundary, familiar in one dimensional problems. We show that a sim…

The phenomenology of Quantum Bounce in the Klein-Gordon, Wheeler-DeWitt and Dirac formalisms
We investigate the different meanings that the concept of Quantum Bounce acquires in various formalisms. The original idea refers to the phenomenology that appears in the Klein-Gordon framework when homogeneous cosmologies are considered. In that case, the Quantum Bounce describes the quantum scattering between a collapsing and an expanding Universe branch, and therefore provides a quantum description of the semiclassical Big Bounce mechanism. Here, we show that the proposal of the Quantum Big …

Optimal Unpredictable Control for Linear Systems
In this paper, we investigate how to achieve the unpredictability against malicious inferences for linear systems. The key idea is to add stochastic control inputs, named as unpredictable control, to make the outputs irregular. The future outputs thus become unpredictable and the performance of inferences is degraded. The major challenges lie in: i) how to formulate optimization problems to obtain an optimal distribution of stochastic input, under unknown prediction accuracy of the adversary; a…

While Trump described his call for the U.S. military to reestablish a position in Afghanistan as “breaking news,” he has previously raised the idea.
The White House did not immediately respond to questions about whether it or the Pentagon has done any planning around returning to the sprawling [Bagram] air base, which was central to America’s longest war.

Musing on this post from @…: “Shared reality” is a direly important idea right now, but agreed: it’s missing something, hiding something.
A more useful framing might involve •time•. How long does it take for an idea to meet empirical challenge? What is the convergence time for differing understandings? What is the FA-to-FO latency?

I have no idea what to make of this, but one thing is clear: something is happening in Rubyland that should not be happening.

At some point, a journalist needs to ask Johnson
“you regularly claim you have no idea what your own government is doing.
If we take you at your word, how are you so poorly informed,
and do you this level of ignorance should disqualify you as speaker?”
