When Experimental Economics Meets Large Language Models: Tactics with Evidence
Advancements in large language models (LLMs) have sparked a growing interest in measuring and understanding their behavior through experimental economics. However, there is still a lack of established guidelines for designing economic experiments for LLMs. By combining principles from experimental economics with insights from LLM research in artificial intelligence, we outline and discuss eight practical tactics for conducting experiments with LLMs. We further perform two sets of experiments to…

Dalitz Plot Kinematics for a Lorentz-Violating Three-Body Decay
Rates for particle interaction processes and decays will be modified in a Lorentz-violating quantum field theory, because of changes to the particle kinematics$-$particularly through the modified dispersion relations affecting the outgoing particle phase space. We outline here these changes to the rates for three-particle decays. Considering a process with a constant scattering amplitude (not directly modified by the Lorentz violation), we calculate leading order corrections to the kinematics f…

Multivariate Discrete Generalized Pareto Distributions: Theory, Simulation, and Applications to Dry spells
This article extends the multivariate extreme value theory (MEVT) to discrete settings, focusing on the generalized Pareto distribution (GPD) as a foundational tool. The purpose of the study is to enhance the understanding of extreme discrete count data representation, particularly for discrete exceedances over thresholds, defining and using multivariate discrete Pareto distributions (MDGPD). Through theoretical results and illustrative examples, we outline the construction and properties of MD…

Role, cost, and complexity of software in the real-world: a case for formal methods
In this chapter we outline the role that software has in modern society, along with the staggering costs of poor software quality. To lay this bare, we recall the costs of some of the major software failures that happened during the last~$40$ years. We argue that these costs justify researching, studying and applying formal software verification and in particular program analysis. This position is supported by successful industrial experiences.

Even happy mousehunters want #safestreets everyday, not just #caturday

I think it is time to start organizing Peoples' Courts to try FFOTUS and his maga-klan.
Right now it is sufficient to define the general shape of the courts, their jurisdiction, the outline of procedures, and to enunciate the "natural law" standards to which the accused will be measured.
I generally hate the concept of "natural law", but in this case it is apt because that's what the maga-heads seem to like (see abominations such many cases from SCOTUS…

Introducing Quantum Computing to High-School Curricula: A Global Perspective
Quantum computing is an emerging field with growing implications across science and industry, making early educational exposure increasingly important. This paper examines how quantum computing concepts can be introduced into high-school STEM curricula within existing structures to enhance foundational learning in mathematics, computer science, and physics. We outline a modular integration strategy introducing key quantum ideas into standard courses, leveraging open-source educational resources…

Manipulated Regions Localization For Partially Deepfake Audio: A Survey
With the development of audio deepfake techniques, attacks with partially deepfake audio are beginning to rise. Compared to fully deepfake, it is much harder to be identified by the detector due to the partially cryptic manipulation, resulting in higher security risks. Although some studies have been launched, there is no comprehensive review to systematically introduce the current situations and development trends for addressing this issue. Thus, in this survey, we are the first to outline a s…

Speculative Design in Spiraling Time: Methods and Indigenous HCI
In this position paper, we first discuss the uptake of speculative design as a method for Indigenous HCI. Then, we outline how a key assumption about temporality threatens to undermine the usefulness of speculative design in this context. Finally, we briefly sketch out a possible alternative understanding of speculative design, based on the concept of "spiraling time," which could be better suited for Indigenous HCI.

Gromov's reconstruction theorem and measured Gromov-Hausdorff convergence in Lorentzian geometry
We establish Gromov's celebrated reconstruction theorem in Lorentzian geometry. Alongside this result, we introduce and study a natural concept of isomorphy of normalized bounded Lorentzian metric measure spaces. We outline applications to the spacetime reconstruction problem from causal set theory. Lastly, we propose three notions of convergence of (isomorphism classes of) normalized bounded Lorentzian metric measure spaces, for which we prove several fundamental properties.

Noise in Maps of the Sun at Radio Wavelengths I: Theoretical Considerations
The Sun is a powerful source of radio emissions, so much so that, unlike most celestial sources, this emission can dominate the system noise of radio telescopes. We outline the theory of noise in maps formed by Fourier synthesis techniques at radio wavelengths, with a focus on self-noise: that is, noise due to the source itself. As a means of developing intuition we consider noise for the case of a single dish, a two-element interferometer, and an n-element array for simple limiting cases. We t…

Responsible AI (RAI) is the science and practice of ensuring the design, development, use, and oversight of AI are socially sustainable--benefiting diverse stakeholders while controlling the risks. Achieving this goal requires active engagement and participation from the broader public. This paper introduces "We are AI: Taking Control of Technology," a public education course that brings the topics of AI and RAI to the general audience in a peer-learning setting. We outline the goals behind t…

Leveraging Complementary Attention maps in vision transformers for OCT image analysis
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) scan yields all possible cross-section images of a retina for detecting biomarkers linked to optical defects. Due to the high volume of data generated, an automated and reliable biomarker detection pipeline is necessary as a primary screening stage. We outline our new state-of-the-art pipeline for identifying biomarkers from OCT scans. In collaboration with trained ophthalmologists, we identify local and global structures in biomarkers.

On the maximum number of edges of outer k-planar graphs
We study the maximum number of straight-line segments connecting $n$ points in convex position in the plane, so that each segment intersects at most $k$ others. This question can also be framed as the maximum number of edges of an outer $k$-planar graph on $n$ vertices. We outline several approaches to tackle the problem with the best approach yielding an upper bound of $(\sqrt{2}+\varepsilon)\sqrt{k}n$ edges (with $\varepsilon \rightarrow 0$ for sufficiently large $k$). We further investigate …

On Murmurations and Trace Formulas
In recent work with Bober, Booker, Lee, Seymour-Howell, and Zubrilina, we proved murmuration behavior for Maass forms in the eigenvalue aspect and for modular forms in the weight aspect. Both used an approach based on the Selberg trace formula. But different trace formulas, including those due to Kuznetsov or Petersson, offer different variations. We examine murmurations from the perspective of different trace formulas and outline several families of $L$-functions where one can likely prove add…

Bias and Identifiability in the Bounded Confidence Model
Opinion dynamics models such as the bounded confidence models (BCMs) describe how a population can reach consensus, fragmentation, or polarization, depending on a few parameters. Connecting such models to real-world data could help understanding such phenomena, testing model assumptions. To this end, estimation of model parameters is a key aspect, and maximum likelihood estimation provides a principled way to tackle it. Here, our goal is to outline the properties of statistical estimators of th…

Stochastic Domination of Exit Times for Random Walks and Brownian Motion with Drift
In this note, by an elementary use of Girsanov's transform we show that the exit time for either a biased random walk or a drifted Brownian motion on a symmetric interval is stochastically monotone with respect to the drift parameter. In the random walk case, this gives an alternative proof of a recent result of E. Peköz and R. Righter in 2024. Our arguments in both discrete and continuous cases are parallel to each other. We also outline a simple SDE proof for the Brownian case based on a sta…

Some new results for the GHWS model
Here we outline some new results for the GHWS model which points to a discretization of parameter space into well differentiated collective dynamic states. We argue this can lead to basic processes in parameter space, starting with minimum modelling ingredients: a complex network with a disorder parameter and an excitable dynamics (cellular automata) on it.

Risks of AI-driven product development and strategies for their mitigation
Humanity is progressing towards automated product development, a trend that promises faster creation of better products and thus the acceleration of technological progress. However, increasing reliance on non-human agents for this process introduces many risks. This perspective aims to initiate a discussion on these risks and appropriate mitigation strategies. To this end, we outline a set of principles for safer AI-driven product development which emphasize human oversight, accountability, and…

Radiative Capture Reaction $d(α,γ)^{6}\mathrm{Li} $ in Cluster Effective Field Theory
In this study, we focus on the radiative capture process of the deuteron on alpha particle leading to the formation of $^6{\textrm{Li}}$ in the two-body formalism through the cluster effective field theory~(CEFT). It was the primitive nuclear reaction to produce ${^6 \textrm{Li}}$ in a few minutes after the Big Bang. In detail, we outline the calculation of the dominant $E1$ and $E2$ electromagnetic transition amplitudes of $d(α,γ){^6\textrm{Li}}$. Then, we obtain the astrophysical S-factor b…
