Towards Cognitively-Faithful Decision-Making Models to Improve AI Alignment
Recent AI work trends towards incorporating human-centric objectives, with the explicit goal of aligning AI models to personal preferences and societal values. Using standard preference elicitation methods, researchers and practitioners build models of human decisions and judgments, which are then used to align AI behavior with that of humans. However, models commonly used in such elicitation processes often do not capture the true cognitive processes of human decision making, such as when peop…

Optical characterization of deep level defects in n-type Al$_x$In$_y$Ga$_{1-x-y}$P for development of solid-state photomultiplier analogs
Characterizing intrinsic defects is an important step in evaluating materials for new optoelectronic device applications. For photomultipliers, suppressing dark currents is critical, but there exists a tradeoff between maximizing the band gap while remaining sensitive to the wavelength of interest, and minimizing the incorporation of new defects by growing not-yet-optimized alloys. We present a series of capacitance-based measurements, including deep level optical spectroscopy, steady-state pho…

Spontaneous stochasticity in the Armstrong-Vicol passive scalar
Spontaneous stochasticity refers to the emergence of intrinsic randomness in deterministic systems under singular limits, a phenomenon conjectured to be fundamental in turbulence. Armstrong and Vicol recently constructed a deterministic, divergence-free multiscale vector field arbitrarily close to a weak Euler solution, proving that a passive scalar transported by this field exhibits anomalous dissipation and lacks a selection principle in the vanishing diffusivity limit. We show that this adve…

A coarse-graining theory for elliptic operators and homogenization in high contrast
We review a coarse-graining theory for divergence-form elliptic operators. The construction centers on a pair of coarse-grained matrices defined on spatial blocks that encode a scale-dependent notion of ellipticity, transmit precise information from small to large scales, and yield coarse-grained counterparts of standard elliptic estimates. Under simplifying assumptions, we give a complete proof of the result of [arXiv:2405.10732] that homogenization is reached within at most $C\log^2(1+Θ)$ dy…

Response and Prompt Evaluation to Prevent Parasocial Relationships with Chatbots
The development of parasocial relationships with AI agents has severe, and in some cases, tragic effects for human well-being. Yet preventing such dynamics is challenging: parasocial cues often emerge gradually in private conversations, and not all forms of emotional engagement are inherently harmful. We address this challenge by introducing a simple response evaluation framework, created by repurposing a state-of-the-art language model, that evaluates ongoing conversations for parasocial cues …

Work in social choice and statistics has produced many aggregation methods for this problem, each with its desirable properties, but also with its limitations. Further, existing impossibility results rule out designing a single method that achieves every property of interest. Faced with this trade-off between incompatible desiderata, how do we decide…

The resulting transport model is used to tag $^{214}$Pb beta-decays, a leading background to dark matter signals in LZ. Temporally evolving volume selections, at a cost …

Spatial reasoning in large-scale 3D environments such as warehouses remains a significant challenge for vision-language systems due to scene clutter, occlusions, and the need for precise spatial understanding.

The growth of magnetic energy during the nonlinear phase of the subsonic and supersonic small-scale dynamo
Small-scale dynamos (SSDs) amplify magnetic fields in turbulent plasmas. Theory predicts nonlinear magnetic energy growth $E_\mathrm{mag} \propto t^{p_\mathrm{nl}}$, but this scaling has not been tested across flow regimes. Using a large ensemble of SSD simulations spanning sub- to supersonic turbulence, we find linear growth ($p_\mathrm{nl} = 1$) in subsonic flows and quadratic growth ($p_\mathrm{nl} = 2$) in supersonic flows. In all cases, we find a dynamo efficiency of $\sim 1/100$ and a dur…
