From Tea Leaves to System Maps: Context-awareness in Monitoring Operational Machine Learning Models
Machine learning (ML) models in production do not fail due to statistical anomalies in their input data; they fail due to contextual misalignment -- when their environment deviates from training assumptions, leading to unreliable predictions. Effective ML monitoring requires rich contextual information to move beyond detecting statistical shifts toward meaningful alerts and systematic root-cause analysis. Yet, surprisingly, despite extensive research in ML monitoring and related disciplines (dr…

Robotic navigation in dense, cluttered environments such as agricultural canopies presents significant challenges due to physical and visual occlusion caused by leaves and branches.

Geometry of the space of phylogenetic trees with non-identical leaves
Phylogenetic trees summarize evolutionary relationships. The Billera-Holmes-Vogtmann (BHV) space for comparing phylogenetic trees has many elegant mathematical properties, but it does not encompass trees with differing leaf sets. To overcome this, we introduce Towering space: a complete metric space that extends BHV space to trees with non-identical leaf sets. Towering space is a structured collection of BHV spaces connected via pruning and regrafting operations. We study the geometry of paths …

Dynamical Horizon Segments and Spacetime Isometries
Given a space-time $(\mathscr{M}, g_{ab})$ admitting a dynamical horizon segment (DHS) $\mathscr{H}$, we show that there are stringent constraints on the Killing fields $ξ^a$ that $g_{ab}$ can admit in a neighborhood of $\mathscr{H}$: Generically, $ξ^a$ can only be a rotational Killing field which, furthermore, leaves each marginally trapped 2-sphere cross-section $\mathcal{S}$ of $\mathscr{H}$ invariant. Finally, if $ξ^a$ happens to be hypersurface orthogonal near $\mathscr{H}$, then, not o…

Unstable entropy for Anosov diffeomorphisms on the 3-torus
For Anosov diffeomorphisms on the $3$-torus which are strongly partially hyperbolic with expanding center, we construct systems of strong unstable and center stable Margulis measures which are holonomy-invariant. This allows us to obtain a characterization of the measures of maximal unstable entropy in terms of their conditional measures along the strong unstable leaves. Moreover, we show that the Margulis systems identify with Pollicott-Ruelle (co)-resonant states for the action on 2-forms. Th…

Dried leaves in nature often exhibit curled and crumpled morphologies, typically attributed to internal strain gradients that produce dome-like shapes. However, the origin of these strain gradients remains poorly understood. Although leaf veins--particularly the midvein--have been suggested to influence shape formation, their mechanical role has not been systematically investigated. Here, we demonstrate that mechanical constraints imposed by the midvein play a crucial role in generating the div…
