Towards Automatic Error Recovery in Parsing Expression
Error recovery is an essential feature for a parser that should be plugged in Integrated Development Environments (IDEs), which must build Abstract Syntax Trees (ASTs) even for syntactically invalid programs in order to offer features such as automated refactoring and code completion. Parsing Expressions Grammars (PEGs) are a formalism that naturally describes recursive top-down parsers using a restricted form of backtracking. Labeled failures are a conservative extension of PEGs that adds an…

What is going on in the land of Fedora Linux?
First, the latest kernel in Fedora 42 recently went from "working" to "broken" with regard to the video screen on Intel(R) Core(TM) Ultra 7 155H on an ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. NUC14RVK-B/NUC14RVBU7
Second, the update repositories now all have invalid checksums. (Update: this is now corrected.)
Fedora is Redhat is IBM - you would think that they could do some regression testing and maybe do a better locking of t…

Trump ordered his White House counsel and the attorney general on Wednesday to investigate former President Joseph R. Biden Jr. and his staff -- in Mr. Trump’s latest attempt to stoke outlandish conspiracy theories about his predecessor.
In an executive order, Mr. Trump put the power and resources of the federal government to work examining whether some of Mr. Biden’s presidential actions were legally invalid because his aides had enacted those policies without his knowledge.

Collision- and Reachability-Aware Multi-Robot Control with Grounded LLM Planners
Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated strong performance in various robot control tasks. However, their deployment in real-world applications remains constrained. Even state-ofthe-art LLMs, such as GPT-o4mini, frequently produce invalid action plans that violate physical constraints, such as directing a robot to an unreachable location or causing collisions between robots. This issue primarily arises from a lack of awareness of these physical constraints during the reasoning process. T…

DecoRTL: A Run-time Decoding Framework for RTL Code Generation with LLMs
As one of their many applications, large language models (LLMs) have recently shown promise in automating register transfer level (RTL) code generation. However, conventional LLM decoding strategies, originally designed for natural language, often fail to meet the structural and semantic demands of RTL, leading to hallucinated, repetitive, or invalid code outputs. In this paper, we first investigate the root causes of these decoding failures through an empirical analysis of token-level entropy …

PepTune: De Novo Generation of Therapeutic Peptides with Multi-Objective-Guided Discrete Diffusion
We present PepTune, a multi-objective discrete diffusion model for simultaneous generation and optimization of therapeutic peptide SMILES. Built on the Masked Discrete Language Model (MDLM) framework, PepTune ensures valid peptide structures with a novel bond-dependent masking schedule and invalid loss function. To guide the diffusion process, we introduce Monte Carlo Tree Guidance (MCTG), an inference-time multi-objective guidance algorithm that balances exploration and exploitation to iterati…

Complex Phase Analysis of Power Grid Dynamics
With an increasing share of renewable energy sources, accurate and efficient modeling of grid-forming inverters is becoming crucial for system stability. Linear methods are a powerful tool for understanding dynamics close to an operating point, but usually depend on the reference trajectory. Thus, small deviations can render linear models invalid over time, posing a significant challenge in practice, and complicating theoretical analysis. As a solution, we show that the complex phase offers a r…

Fortified Proximal Causal Inference with Many Invalid Proxies
Causal inference from observational data often relies on the assumption of no unmeasured confounding, an assumption frequently violated in practice due to unobserved or poorly measured covariates. Proximal causal inference (PCI) offers a promising framework for addressing unmeasured confounding using a pair of outcome and treatment confounding proxies. However, existing PCI methods typically assume all specified proxies are valid, which may be unrealistic and is untestable without extra assumpt…

Optimizing Length Compression in Large Reasoning Models
Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) have achieved remarkable success, yet they often suffer from producing unnecessary and verbose reasoning chains. We identify a core aspect of this issue as "invalid thinking" -- models tend to repeatedly double-check their work after having derived the correct answer. To address this specific inefficiency, we move beyond the general principles of Efficacy and Efficiency to propose two new, fine-grained principles: Brevity, which advocates for eliminating redundancy…

Analytic inference with two-way clustering
This paper studies analytic inference along two dimensions of clustering. In such setups, the commonly used approach has two drawbacks. First, the corresponding variance estimator is not necessarily positive. Second, inference is invalid in non-Gaussian regimes, namely when the estimator of the parameter of interest is not asymptotically Gaussian. We consider a simple fix that addresses both issues. In Gaussian regimes, the corresponding tests are asymptotically exact and equivalent to usual on…

Near-Field Propagation and Spatial Non-Stationarity Channel Model for 6-24 GHz (FR3) Extremely Large-Scale MIMO: Adopted by 3GPP for 6G
Next generation cellular deployments are expected to exploit the 6-24 GHz frequency range 3 (FR3) and extremely large-scale multiple-input multiple-output (XL-MIMO) to enable ultra-high data rates and reliability. However, the significantly enlarged antenna apertures and higher carrier frequencies render the far-field and spatial stationarity assumptions in the existing 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) channel models invalid, giving rise to new features such as near-field propagation a…

Safe Screening Rules for Group SLOPE
Variable selection is a challenging problem in high-dimensional sparse learning, especially when group structures exist. Group SLOPE performs well for the adaptive selection of groups of predictors. However, the block non-separable group effects in Group SLOPE make existing methods either invalid or inefficient. Consequently, Group SLOPE tends to incur significant computational costs and memory usage in practical high-dimensional scenarios. To overcome this issue, we introduce a safe screening …

Stochastic highway capacity: Unsuitable Kaplan-Meier estimator, revised maximum likelihood estimator, and impact of speed harmonisation
The Kaplan-Meier estimate, also known as the product-limit method (PLM), is a widely used non-parametric maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) in survival analysis. In the context of highway engineering, it has been repeatedly applied to estimate stochastic traffic flow capacity. However, this paper demonstrates that PLM is fundamentally unsuitable for this purpose. The method implicitly assumes continuous exposure to failure risk over time - a premise invalid for traffic flow, where intensity doe…

Learning Safe Control via On-the-Fly Bandit Exploration
Control tasks with safety requirements under high levels of model uncertainty are increasingly common. Machine learning techniques are frequently used to address such tasks, typically by leveraging model error bounds to specify robust constraint-based safety filters. However, if the learned model uncertainty is very high, the corresponding filters are potentially invalid, meaning no control input satisfies the constraints imposed by the safety filter. While most works address this issue by assu…
