Learning or Self-aligning? Rethinking Instruction Fine-tuning
Instruction Fine-tuning~(IFT) is a critical phase in building large language models~(LLMs). Previous works mainly focus on the IFT's role in the transfer of behavioral norms and the learning of additional world knowledge. However, the understanding of the underlying mechanisms of IFT remains significantly limited. In this paper, we design a knowledge intervention framework to decouple the potential underlying factors of IFT, thereby enabling individual analysis of different factors. Surprisingl…

Increasing retrofit device adoption in social housing: evidence from two field experiments in Belgium
Energy efficient technologies are particularly important for social housing settings: they offer the potential to improve tenants' wellbeing through monetary savings and comfort, while reducing emissions of entire communities. Slow uptake of innovative energy technology in social housing has been associated with a lack of trust and the perceived risks of adoption. To counteract both, we designed a communication campaign for a retrofit technology for heating including social norms for technology…

Generalized Loci on Real Inner Product Vector Spaces
This paper generalizes the notion of geometric curves such as hyperbolas and ellipses to more general vector spaces with an associated inner product. This is done by generalizing the definition in terms of loci and foci of said curves in Euclidean geometry to a general vector space with a real inner product, through which a norm can be induced. Through this generalization and focusing on the curves that are obtained through linear combinations of norms, we explore some properties of said curves…

New and old Saito-Kurokawa lifts classically via $L^2$ norms and bounds on their supnorms: level aspect
In the first half of the paper, we lay down a classical approach to the study of Saito-Kurokawa (SK) lifts of (Hecke congruence) square-free level, including the allied new-oldform theory. Our treatment of this relies on a novel idea of computing ranks of certain matrices whose entries are $L^2$-norms of eigenforms. For computing the $L^2$ norms we work with the Hecke algebra of $\mathrm{GSp}(2)$. In the second half, we formulate precise conjectures on the $L^\infty$ size of the space of SK l…

Learning and Sustaining Shared Normative Systems via Bayesian Rule Induction in Markov Games
A universal feature of human societies is the adoption of systems of rules and norms in the service of cooperative ends. How can we build learning agents that do the same, so that they may flexibly cooperate with the human institutions they are embedded in? We hypothesize that agents can achieve this by assuming there exists a shared set of norms that most others comply with while pursuing their individual desires, even if they do not know the exact content of those norms. By assuming shared no…

There is however no way to check their norms and rules, no effective way to protest or object against them. That is a problem, especially with monopolistic big tech platforms.

We rigorously identify three time regimes separated by the physically relevant scrambling and relaxation times. The main feature of our analysis is that we express the error terms in the optimal Schatten (tracial) norms of the observables, allowing us to track the exact dependence of the …

We recover the results that are available in the literature and extend these optimally to the diffusive setting. As a c…

In this paper we determine the asymptotic density of coprime fractions in those of the reduced fractions of number fields. When ordered by norms of denominators, we count a fraction as soon as it ``appears'' for the first time and no later. The natural density of coprime fractions in the set of reduced fractions may then be computed using well-known facts about Hecke $L$-functions. Furthermore, we draw some connections to the modular group and Heegner points.

In the image domain, they represent maliciously perturbed data points that look benign to humans (i.e., the image modification is not noticeable) but greatly mislead state-of-the-art ML models. Previously, researchers ensured the imperceptibility of their altered data points by restricting perturbations via $\ell_p$ norms. …

Improving Generalization in Reinforcement Learning Training Regimes for Social Robot Navigation
In order for autonomous mobile robots to navigate in human spaces, they must abide by our social norms. Reinforcement learning (RL) has emerged as an effective method to train sequential decision-making policies that are able to respect these norms. However, a large portion of existing work in the field conducts both RL training and testing in simplistic environments. This limits the generalization potential of these models to unseen environments, and the meaningfulness of their reported result…

Böttcher-Wenzel inequality for weighted Frobenius norms and its application to quantum physics
By employing a weighted Frobenius norm with a positive matrix $ω$, we introduce natural generalizations of the famous Böttcher-Wenzel (BW) inequality. Specifically, we explore six types of bounds, labeled (i) through (vi), on the norms of the commutator $[A,B]:= AB - BA$, based on the combination of the weighted Frobenius norm $\|A\|_ω:= \sqrt{{\rm tr}(A^\ast A ω)}$ and the usual Frobenius norm $\|A\| := \sqrt{{\rm tr}(A^\ast A)}$.

Recourse for reclamation: Chatting with generative language models
Researchers and developers increasingly rely on toxicity scoring to moderate generative language model outputs, in settings such as customer service, information retrieval, and content generation. However, toxicity scoring may render pertinent information inaccessible, rigidify or "value-lock" cultural norms, and prevent language reclamation processes, particularly for marginalized people. In this work, we extend the concept of algorithmic recourse to generative language models: we provide user…

On noncommutative Hölder inequality of Sukochev and Zanin for weak Schatten class
Sukochev and Zanin resolved an open problem due to B. Simon concerning optimal constants in Hölder inequality for the weak Schatten classes of compact operators. In this note we observe that these constants, by introducing the modified weak Schatten quasi-norms, can be renormalised so that the original Simon's conjecture (with optimal constant 1) does hold. We also provide an unexpectedly simple proof for the modified Hölder inequality and its sharpness.

Should We Respect LLMs? A Cross-Lingual Study on the Influence of Prompt Politeness on LLM Performance
We investigate the impact of politeness levels in prompts on the performance of large language models (LLMs). Polite language in human communications often garners more compliance and effectiveness, while rudeness can cause aversion, impacting response quality. We consider that LLMs mirror human communication traits, suggesting they align with human cultural norms. We assess the impact of politeness in prompts on LLMs across English, Chinese, and Japanese tasks. We observed that impolite prompt…

Nonlinear regularization estimates and global well-posedness for the Landau-Coulomb equation near equilibrium
We consider the Landau equation with Coulomb potential in the spatially homogeneous case. We show short time propagation of smallness in $L^p$ norms for $p>3/2$ and instantaneous regularization in Sobolev spaces. This yields new short time quantitative a priori estimates that are unconditional near equilibrium. We combine these estimates with existing literature on global well-posedness for regular data to extend the well-posedness theory to small $L^p$ data with $p$ arbitrarily close to $3/2$.…

Quantitative bounds in the inverse theorem for the Gowers $U^{s+1}$-norms over cyclic groups
We provide a new proof of the inverse theorem for the Gowers $U^{s+1}$-norm over groups $H=\mathbb Z/N\mathbb Z$ for $N$ prime. This proof gives reasonable quantitative bounds (the worst parameters are double-exponential), and in particular does not make use of regularity or non-standard analysis, both of which are new for $s \ge 3$ in this setting.

Norm Enforcement with a Soft Touch: Faster Emergence, Happier Agents
A multiagent system is a society of autonomous agents whose interactions can be regulated via social norms. In general, the norms of a society are not hardcoded but emerge from the agents' interactions. Specifically, how the agents in a society react to each other's behavior and respond to the reactions of others determines which norms emerge in the society. We think of these reactions by an agent to the satisfactory or unsatisfactory behaviors of another agent as communications from the first …

Polarization, declining trust, and wavering support for democratic norms are pressing threats to U.S. democracy. Exposure to verified and quality news may lower individual susceptibility to these threats and make citizens more resilient to misinformation, populism, and hyperpartisan rhetoric. This project examines how to enhance users' exposure to and engagement with verified and ideologically balanced news in an ecologically valid setting.

Petersson norms of Borcherds theta lifts to O(1, 8n+1) with applications to injectivity and sup-norm bounds
We give an explicit formula for the Petersson norms of theta lifts from Maass cusp forms of level one to cusp forms on orthogonal groups O(1,8n+1). Our formula explicitly determines archimedean local factors of the norms. As an application, we obtain the injectivity of the lifting of Maass forms and bounds on the sup-norm of cusp forms on these orthogonal groups in terms of their Laplace eigenvalues.

We present the first cross cultural self-conscious emotions dataset, obtained from 5.4K Bollywood and Hollywood movies, along with over 10K extracted social norms. We validate our dataset using native speakers and…

Enhancing retrofit device adoption in social housing: evidence from two field experiments in Belgium
Energy efficient technologies are particularly important for social housing settings: they offer the potential to improve tenants' wellbeing through monetary savings and comfort, while reducing emissions of entire communities. Slow uptake of innovative energy technology in social housing has been associated with a lack of trust and the perceived risks of adoption. To counteract both, we designed a communication campaign for a retrofit technology for heating including social norms for technology…

Pedestrian-Vehicle Interaction in Shared Space: Insights for Autonomous Vehicles
Shared space reduces segregation between vehicles and pedestrians and encourages them to share roads without imposed traffic rules. The behaviour of road users (RUs) is then controlled by social norms, and interactions are more versatile than on traditional roads. Autonomous vehicles (AVs) will need to adapt to these norms to become socially acceptable RUs in shared spaces. However, to date, there is not much research into pedestrian-vehicle interaction in shared-space environments, and prior e…

Modified scattering for the cubic Schrödinger equation on Diophantine waveguides
We consider the cubic Schrödinger equation posed on product spaces subject to a generic Diophantine condition. Our analysis shows that the small-amplitude solutions undergo modified scattering to an effective dynamics governed by some interactions that do not amplify the Sobolev norms. This is in sharp contrast with the infinite energy cascade scenario observed by Hani--Pausader--Tzvetkov--Visciglia in the absence of Diophantine conditions.

Norms in sinogram space and stability estimates for the Radon transform
We consider different norms for the Radon transform $Rf$ of a function $f$ and investigate under which conditions they can be estimated from above or below by some standard norms for $f$. We define Fourier-based norms for $Rf$ that can be related to Bessel-potential space norms for $f$. Furthermore, we define a variant of a total-variation norm for $Rf$ and provide conditions under which it is equivalent to the total-variation norm of $f$. As an illustration of potential applications of these r…

Our study analyzes the behaviors of standard network structures and real-world networks to determine whether the dynamics of multiple LL…

A note on smooth rotund norms which are not midpoint locally uniformly rotund
We prove that every separable infinite-dimensional Banach space admits a Gâteaux smooth and rotund norm which is not midpoint locally uniformly rotund. Moreover, by using a similar technique, we provide in every infinite-dimensional Banach space with separable dual a Fréchet smooth and weakly uniformly rotund norm which is not midpoint locally uniformly rotund. These two results provide a positive answer to some open problems by A. J. Guirao, V. Montesinos, and V. Zizler.

Hunter's positivity theorem and random vector norms
A theorem of Hunter ensures that the complete homogeneous symmetric polynomials of even degree are positive definite functions. A probabilistic interpretation of Hunter's theorem suggests a broad generalization: the construction of so-called random vector norms on square complex matrices. This paper surveys these ideas, starting from the fundamental notions and developing the theory to its present state. We study numerous examples and present a host of open problems.

For any natural number k, it is verified that if the incoming speed v between the two solitary waves is small enough, then, after the collision, the two solitons will move away with an outcoming speed v_{f}=v+O(v^{k}) and the remainder of the solution will also have energy and weighted norms of order O(v^{k}).
