Self-Anchor: Large Language Model Reasoning via Step-by-step Attention Alignment
To solve complex reasoning tasks for Large Language Models (LLMs), prompting-based methods offer a lightweight alternative to fine-tuning and reinforcement learning. However, as reasoning chains extend, critical intermediate steps and the original prompt will be buried in the context, receiving insufficient attention and leading to errors. In this paper, we propose Self-Anchor, a novel pipeline that leverages the inherent structure of reasoning to steer LLM attention. Self-Anchor decomposes rea…

"We feel accountable to our religious tradition. And just as accountable to our own intuition. When we have a question or a challenge on our religious tradition, we don't abandon our religious tradition, nor do we assume a posture of submission or sacrifice towards our own intution. That is not what the Talmud does, instead, we think harder, think more critically, think more carefully." Sammanfattar bra min syn på bibeltolkning och vrf Talmud är ett så storslaget dokument

R. Aviva Richman: Why Talmud is the Bedrock of My Faith - Ta Shma
The Talmud has often been subject to misrepresentation—viewed as esoteric or overly complex—yet it holds profound power as a centerpiece of Jewish tradition. How can Talmud and Talmud study anchor an approach to Judaism that speaks to the challenges  and dangers of our moment? How can its embrace of complexity, argument, and multivocality offer a model for living a thoughtful and principled Jewish life in our uncertain times?  Source sheet: https://mechonhadar.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/…

Mapping the Stellar Kinematics in the Central 240 Parsecs of M87 with the James Webb Space Telescope
The supermassive black hole (SMBH) in the giant elliptical galaxy M87 is one of the most well-studied in the local universe, but the stellar- and gas-dynamical SMBH mass measurements disagree. As this galaxy is a key anchor for the upper end of the SMBH mass$-$host galaxy relations, we revisit the central $3''\times 3''$ ($\sim 240\times240$ pc) region of M87 with the Near Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec) integral field unit (IFU) on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).

Anchor: Reducing Temporal and Spatial Output Performance Variability on Quantum Computers
Quantum computing, which has the power to accelerate many computing applications, is currently a technology under development. As a result, the existing noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) computers suffer from different hardware noise effects, which cause errors in the output of quantum programs. These errors cause a high degree of variability in the performance (i.e., output fidelity) of quantum programs, which varies from one computer to another and from one day to another. Consequently,…

WristWorld: Generating Wrist-Views via 4D World Models for Robotic Manipulation
Wrist-view observations are crucial for VLA models as they capture fine-grained hand-object interactions that directly enhance manipulation performance. Yet large-scale datasets rarely include such recordings, resulting in a substantial gap between abundant anchor views and scarce wrist views. Existing world models cannot bridge this gap, as they require a wrist-view first frame and thus fail to generate wrist-view videos from anchor views alone. Amid this gap, recent visual geometry models suc…

Revisiting Mixout: An Overlooked Path to Robust Finetuning
Finetuning vision foundation models often improves in-domain accuracy but comes at the cost of robustness under distribution shift. We revisit Mixout, a stochastic regularizer that intermittently replaces finetuned weights with their pretrained reference, through the lens of a single-run, weight-sharing implicit ensemble. This perspective reveals three key levers that govern robustness: the \emph{masking anchor}, \emph{resampling frequency}, and \emph{mask sparsity}. Guided by this analysis, we…

Rule Encoding and Compliance in Large Language Models: An Information-Theoretic Analysis
The design of safety-critical agents based on large language models (LLMs) requires more than simple prompt engineering. This paper presents a comprehensive information-theoretic analysis of how rule encodings in system prompts influence attention mechanisms and compliance behaviour. We demonstrate that rule formats with low syntactic entropy and highly concentrated anchors reduce attention entropy and improve pointer fidelity, but reveal a fundamental trade-off between anchor redundancy and at…

REGENT: Relevance-Guided Attention for Entity-Aware Multi-Vector Neural Re-Ranking
Current neural re-rankers often struggle with complex information needs and long, content-rich documents. The fundamental issue is not computational--it is intelligent content selection: identifying what matters in lengthy, multi-faceted texts. While humans naturally anchor their understanding around key entities and concepts, neural models process text within rigid token windows, treating all interactions as equally important and missing critical semantic signals. We introduce REGENT, a neural…

Coordinate-Consistent Localization via Continuous-Time Calibration and Fusion of UWB and SLAM Observations
Onboard simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) methods are commonly used to provide accurate localization information for autonomous robots. However, the coordinate origin of SLAM estimate often resets for each run. On the other hand, UWB-based localization with fixed anchors can ensure a consistent coordinate reference across sessions; however, it requires an accurate assignment of the anchor nodes' coordinates. To this end, we propose a two-stage approach that calibrates and fuses UWB d…

Developments in Carrollian gravity and holography necessitate the use of singular Carroll vector fields, a feature that cannot be accommodated within standard Carrollian geometry. We introduce Carrollian Lie algebroids as a framework to study such singular Carrollian geometries. In this approach, we define the Carroll distribution as the image of the kernel of the degenerate metric under the anchor map. The Carroll distribution is, in general, a singular Stefan--Sussmann distribution that will …
