Budget 2026 : des taxes sur les multinationales et les géants du numérique américains votées à l’Assemblée, au grand dam du gouvernement
En première lecture, les députés ont approuvé à une écrasante majorité un amendement de LFI et un autre de Renaissance. Ces deux mesures pourraient rapporter plus de 20 milliards d’euros, mais ont peu de chances de passer l’étape du Sénat.

Prompt-to-Product: Generative Assembly via Bimanual Manipulation
Creating assembly products demands significant manual effort and expert knowledge in 1) designing the assembly and 2) constructing the product. This paper introduces Prompt-to-Product, an automated pipeline that generates real-world assembly products from natural language prompts. Specifically, we leverage LEGO bricks as the assembly platform and automate the process of creating brick assembly structures. Given the user design requirements, Prompt-to-Product generates physically buildable brick…

Effective Asymptotics of Combinatorial Systems
Analytic combinatorics studies asymptotic properties of families of combinatorial objects using complex analysis on their generating functions. In their reference book on the subject, Flajolet and Sedgewick describe a general approach that allows one to derive precise asymptotic expansions starting from systems of combinatorial equations. In the situation where the combinatorial system involves only cartesian products and disjoint unions, the generating functions satisfy polynomial systems with…

Bridging Kolmogorov Complexity and Deep Learning: Asymptotically Optimal Description Length Objectives for Transformers
The Minimum Description Length (MDL) principle offers a formal framework for applying Occam's razor in machine learning. However, its application to neural networks such as Transformers is challenging due to the lack of a principled, universal measure for model complexity. This paper introduces the theoretical notion of asymptotically optimal description length objectives, grounded in the theory of Kolmogorov complexity. We establish that a minimizer of such an objective achieves optimal compre…

Asymptotic size of the Karp-Sipser Core in Configuration Model
We study the asymptotic size of the Karp-Sipser core in the configuration model with arbitrary degree distributions. The Karp-Sipser core is the induced subgraph obtained by iteratively removing all leaves and their neighbors through the leaf-removal process, and finally discarding any isolated vertices \cite{BCC}. Our main result establishes the convergence of the Karp-Sipser core size to an explicit fixed-point equation under general degree assumptions.The approach is based on analyzing the c…
