The woman who could impede RFK Jr.’s anti-vaccine agenda
The public would be better-off with a serious person such as Susan Monarez at the CDC’s helm.

The Senate should confirm her, and fast.
Monarez, meanwhile, needs to recognize the burden she is accepting.
Being CDC director is not an easy job, even in less contentious times.
Having to report to Kennedy makes it incalculably harder.
Lives will depend on whether Monarez resists Kennedy’s efforts to …

The woman who could impede RFK Jr.’s anti-vaccine agenda
Susan Monarez deserves to be confirmed as CDC director.

Teenagers no longer answer the phone: Is it a lack of manners or a new trend?
Teenagers can seem to have their phones glued to their hands—yet they won't answer them when they ring. This scenario, which is all too familiar to many parents, can seem absurd and frustrating, or even alarming to some.

MemLens: Uncovering Memorization in LLMs with Activation Trajectories
Large language models (LLMs) are commonly evaluated on challenging benchmarks such as AIME and Math500, which are susceptible to contamination and risk of being memorized. Existing detection methods, which primarily rely on surface-level lexical overlap and perplexity, demonstrate low generalization and degrade significantly when encountering implicitly contaminated data. In this paper, we propose MemLens (An Activation Lens for Memorization Detection) to detect memorization by analyzing the pr…

Antiferromagnetic Hall-Memristors
Spin-memristors are a class of materials that can store memories through the control of spins, potentially leading to novel technologies that address the constraints of standard silicon electronics, thereby facilitating the advancement of more intelligent and energy-efficient computing systems. In this work, we present a spin-memristor based on antiferromagnetic materials that exhibit Hall-memresistance. Moreover, the nonlinear Edelstein effect acts as both a writer and eraser of memory registe…

Memory-QA: Answering Recall Questions Based on Multimodal Memories
We introduce Memory-QA, a novel real-world task that involves answering recall questions about visual content from previously stored multimodal memories. This task poses unique challenges, including the creation of task-oriented memories, the effective utilization of temporal and location information within memories, and the ability to draw upon multiple memories to answer a recall question. To address these challenges, we propose a comprehensive pipeline, Pensieve, integrating memory-specific …

Bob's Confetti: Phonetic Memorization Attacks in Music and Video Generation
Lyrics-to-Song (LS2) generation models promise end-to-end music synthesis from text, yet their vulnerability to training data memorization remains underexplored. We introduce Adversarial PhoneTic Prompting (APT), a novel attack where lyrics are semantically altered while preserving their acoustic structure through homophonic substitutions (e.g., Eminem's famous "mom's spaghetti" $\rightarrow$ "Bob's confetti"). Despite these distortions, we uncover a powerful form of sub-lexical memorization: m…

Energy-Information Trade-Off in Self-Directed Channel Memristors
Understanding the nature of information storage on memristors is vital to enable their use in novel data storage and neuromorphic applications. One key consideration in information storage is the energy cost of storage and what impact the available energy has on the information capacity of the devices. In this paper, we propose and study an energy-information trade-off for a particular kind of memristive device - Self-Directed Channel (SDC) memristors. We perform experiments to model the energy…
