Synergizing Static Analysis with Large Language Models for Vulnerability Discovery and beyond
This report examines the synergy between Large Language Models (LLMs) and Static Application Security Testing (SAST) to improve vulnerability discovery. Traditional SAST tools, while effective for proactive security, are limited by high false-positive rates and a lack of contextual understanding. Conversely, LLMs excel at code analysis and pattern recognition but can be prone to inconsistencies and hallucinations. By integrating these two technologies, a more intelligent and efficient system is…

Strategic Analysis of Just-In-Time Liquidity Provision in Concentrated Liquidity Market Makers
Liquidity providers (LPs) are essential figures in the operation of automated market makers (AMMs); in exchange for transaction fees, LPs lend the liquidity that allows AMMs to operate. While many prior works have studied the incentive structures of LPs in general, we currently lack a principled understanding of a special class of LPs known as Just-In-Time (JIT) LPs. These are strategic agents who momentarily supply liquidity for a single swap, in an attempt to extract disproportionately high f…

Radiocarbon analysis of turfgrasses can help cities measure greenhouse gas emissions
Cities around the world are working to limit emissions of climate-warming greenhouse gases, but there have been few ways of measuring whether those gases are actually decreasing in any given municipality. In new research, University of California, Irvine scientists have created an effective method to measure greenhouse gas emissions around cities—something that can help local governments gauge the effectiveness of their emission-curbing programs.

Good analysis, my initial personal take was too pessimistic I think.
The EU's decision to secure the funding of Ukraine's war for the next two years is one of the most important developments of the entire year. It is a disaster for Russia, and it shows what Europe exerting itself as a strategic actor looks like in practice.

Efficient Heuristic Algorithms for Interleaving Distance between Merge Trees
Merge trees are fundamental structures in topological data analysis. Interleaving distance is a widely accepted metric for comparing merge trees, with applications in visualization and scientific computing. While a greedy algorithm exists for finding the interleaving distance between labeled merge trees with overlapping labels, computing the interleaving distance between unlabeled trees or labeled trees with disjoint labels remains a significant challenge. In this work, we introduce a novel h…

Active Subspaces in Infinite Dimension
Active subspace analysis uses the leading eigenspace of the gradient's second moment to conduct supervised dimension reduction. In this article, we extend this methodology to real-valued functionals on Hilbert space. We define an operator which coincides with the active subspace matrix when applied to a Euclidean space. We show that many of the desirable properties of Active Subspace analysis extend directly to the infinite dimensional setting. We also propose a Monte Carlo procedure and discus…

Distributed system theory literature often argues for correctness using an informal, Hoare-like style of reasoning. While these arguments are intuitive, they have not all been foolproof, and whether they directly correspond to formal proofs is in question. We formally ground this kind of reasoning and connect it to standard formal approaches through language design and meta-analysis, which leads to a functional style of compositional formal reasoning for a class of distributed systems, includin…

Although Mixup-based augmentation improves generalization in unimodal tasks, its direct application to MSA introduces critical challenges: random mixing often amplifies label ambiguity and…

The power play behind Hyperion, Mark Zuckerberg’s colossal data center being built in rural Louisiana
$10 billion of investment. Code names to disguise projects and companies. Mixed opinions. Skyrocketing property values. And enough tax breaks to pay every state cop in Louisiana for seven years.

Formal Models and Convergence Analysis for Context-Aware Security Verification
We present a formal framework for context-aware security verification that establishes provable guarantees for ML-enhanced adaptive systems. We introduce context-completeness - a new security property - and prove: (1) sample complexity bounds showing when adaptive verification succeeds, (2) information-theoretic limits relating context richness to detection capability, (3) convergence guarantees for ML-based payload generators, and (4) compositional soundness bounds. We further provide a formal…

Task-Specific Dual-Model Framework for Comprehensive Traffic Safety Video Description and Analysis
Traffic safety analysis requires complex video understanding to capture fine-grained behavioral patterns and generate comprehensive descriptions for accident prevention. In this work, we present a unique dual-model framework that strategically utilizes the complementary strengths of VideoLLaMA and Qwen2.5-VL through task-specific optimization to address this issue. The core insight behind our approach is that separating training for captioning and visual question answering (VQA) tasks minimizes…

Cost Analysis of Human-corrected Transcription for Predominately Oral Languages
Creating speech datasets for low-resource languages is a critical yet poorly understood challenge, particularly regarding the actual cost in human labor. This paper investigates the time and complexity required to produce high-quality annotated speech data for a subset of low-resource languages, low literacy Predominately Oral Languages, focusing on Bambara, a Manding language of Mali. Through a one-month field study involving ten transcribers with native proficiency, we analyze the correction …

Improving Decision Trees through the Lens of Parameterized Local Search
Algorithms for learning decision trees often include heuristic local-search operations such as (1) adjusting the threshold of a cut or (2) also exchanging the feature of that cut. We study minimizing the number of classification errors by performing a fixed number of a single type of these operations. Although we discover that the corresponding problems are NP-complete in general, we provide a comprehensive parameterized-complexity analysis with the aim of determining those properties of the pr…

Variational Analysis in Spectral Decomposition Systems
This work is concerned with variational analysis of so-called spectral functions and spectral sets of matrices that only depend on eigenvalues of the matrix. Based on our previous work [H. T. Bùi, M. N. Bùi, and C. Clason, Convex analysis in spectral decomposition systems, arXiv 2503.14981] on convex analysis of such functions, we consider the question in the abstract framework of spectral decomposition systems, which covers a wide range of previously studied settings, including eigenvalue de…
