WebArena: A Realistic Web Environment for Building Autonomous Agents
With advances in generative AI, there is now potential for autonomous agents to manage daily tasks via natural language commands. However, current agents are primarily created and tested in simplified synthetic environments, leading to a disconnect with real-world scenarios. In this paper, we build an environment for language-guided agents that is highly realistic and reproducible. Specifically, we focus on agents that perform tasks on the web, and create an environment with fully functional we…

Resilient Watermarking for LLM-Generated Codes
With the development of large language models, multiple AIs are now made available for code generation (such as ChatGPT and StarCoder) and are adopted widely.

For instance, if a certain version of AI is known to generate vulnerable codes, it is particularly important to know the creator. Existing approaches are not satisfactory as watermarking codes are more challenging compared to…

A Session Type System for Asynchronous Unreliable Broadcast Communication
Session types are formal specifications of communication protocols, allowing protocol implementations to be verified by typechecking.

Often such systems have structured communication patterns that should be amenable to analysis by means of ses…

For the problem of aggregating several rankings into one ranking, Kemeny (1959) proposed two methods: the median rule which selects the ranking with the smallest total swap distance to the input rankings, and the mean rule which minimizes the squared swap distances to the input rankings. The median rule has been extensively studied since and is now known simply as Kemeny's rule. It exhibits majoritarian properties, so for example if more than half of the input rankings are the same, then the ou…

On the origin of Higher Schwarzians
In this paper, we analyze higher Schwarzians and show that they are closely related to the nonlinear realization of the Virasoro algebra. The Goldstone fields of such a realization provide a new set of SL(2,R) invariant higher Schwarzians that are deeply related to the Aharonov,Tamanoi and Bonora-Matone ones. A minor change of the coset space parametrization leads to a new set of SL(2,R) non-invariant higher Schwarzians now related to the Schippers and Bertilsson Schwarzians.

In the 1950s Chevalley showed that $\mathfrak{g}$ admits particular bases, now called ``Chevalley bases'', for which the corresponding structure constants are integers. Such bases are not unique but, using Lusztig's theory of canonical bases, one can single out a ``canonical'' Chevalley basis which is unique up to a global sign.

Alfvén waves at low Magnetic Reynolds number
This paper seeks whether Alfvén waves (AW) can be produced in laboratory-scale liquid metal experiments, \emph{i.e.) at low-magnetic Reynolds Number ($R\!m$). AW are incompressible waves propagating along magnetic fields typically found geo and astrophysical systems. Until now, only faint linear waves have been experimentally produced in liquid metals because of the large magnetic dissipation they undergo when $R\!m\ll1$. Yet, controlling laboratory AW could emulate such far remote processes a…

Towards Faster Non-Asymptotic Convergence for Diffusion-Based Generative Models
Diffusion models, which convert noise into new data instances by learning to reverse a Markov diffusion process, have become a cornerstone in contemporary generative modeling. While their practical power has now been widely recognized, the theoretical underpinnings remain far from mature. In this work, we develop a suite of non-asymptotic theory towards understanding the data generation process of diffusion models in discrete time, assuming access to $\ell_2$-accurate estimates of the (Stein) s…

A general formula for the index of depth stability of edge ideals
By a classical result of Brodmann, the function $\operatorname{depth} R/I^t$ is asymptotically a constant, i.e. there is a number $s$ such that $\operatorname{depth} R/I^t = \operatorname{depth} R/I^s$ for $t > s$. One calls the smallest number $s$ with this property the index of depth stability of $I$ and denotes it by $\operatorname{dstab}(I)$. This invariant remains mysterious til now. The main result of this paper gives an explicit formula for $\operatorname{dstab}(I)$ when $I$ is an arbitr…

Implementation of implicit filter for spatial spectra extraction
Scale analysis based on coarse-graining has been proposed recently as an alternative to Fourier analysis. It is now broadly used to analyze energy spectra and energy transfers in eddy-resolving ocean simulations. However, for data from unstructured-mesh models it requires interpolation to a regular grid. We present a high-performance Python implementation of an alternative coarse-graining method which relies on implicit filters using discrete Laplacians. This method can work on arbitrary (struc…

GuideGen: A Text-guided Framework for Joint CT Volume and Anatomical structure Generation
The annotation burden and extensive labor for gathering a large medical dataset with images and corresponding labels are rarely cost-effective and highly intimidating. This results in a lack of abundant training data that undermines downstream tasks and partially contributes to the challenge image analysis faces in the medical field. As a workaround, given the recent success of generative neural models, it is now possible to synthesize image datasets at a high fidelity guided by external constr…

In-context Learning Generalizes, But Not Always Robustly: The Case of Syntax
In-context learning (ICL) is now a common method for teaching large language models (LLMs) new tasks: given labeled examples in the input context, the LLM learns to perform the task without weight updates. Do models guided via ICL infer the underlying structure of the task defined by the context, or do they rely on superficial heuristics that only generalize to identically distributed examples? We address this question using transformations tasks and an NLI task that assess sensitivity to synta…

Dynamic Frequency Assignment for Mobile Users in Multibeam Satellite Constellations
Mobile users such as airplanes or ships will constitute an important segment of the future satellite communications market. Operators are now able to leverage digital payloads that allow flexible resource allocation policies that are robust against dynamic user bases. One of the key problems is managing the frequency spectrum efficiently, which has not been sufficiently explored for mobile users. To address this gap, we propose a dynamic frequency management algorithm based on linear programm…

Supernova 1987A's keyhole: A long-lived jet-pair in the final explosion phase of core-collapse supernovae
I further study the manner by which a pair of opposite jets shape the `keyhole' morphological structure of the core-collapse supernova (CCSN) SN 1997A, now the CCSN remnant (CCSNR) 1987A. By doing so, I strengthen the claim that the jittering-jet explosion mechanism (JJEM) accounts for most, likely all, CCSNe. The `keyhole' structure comprises a northern low-intensity zone closed with a bright rim on its front and an elongated low-intensity nozzle in the south. This rim-nozzle asymmetry is obse…

While up to now CFR was limited to classical programs, in this paper we extend CFR to probabilistic programs and show its soundness for complexity analysis. To demonstrate its benefits, we implemented our new CFR technique in our complexity analysis tool KoAT.

Brain decoding: toward real-time reconstruction of visual perception
In the past five years, the use of generative and foundational AI systems has greatly improved the decoding of brain activity. Visual perception, in particular, can now be decoded from functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) with remarkable fidelity. This neuroimaging technique, however, suffers from a limited temporal resolution ($\approx$0.5 Hz) and thus fundamentally constrains its real-time usage. Here, we propose an alternative approach based on magnetoencephalography (MEG), a neuroim…

On the Effect of (Near) Duplicate Subwords in Language Modelling
Tokenisation is a core part of language models (LMs). It involves splitting a character sequence into subwords which are assigned arbitrary indices before being served to the LM. While typically lossless, however, this process may lead to less sample efficient LM training: as it removes character-level information, it could make it harder for LMs to generalise across similar subwords, such as now and Now. We refer to such subwords as near duplicates. In this paper, we study the impact of near d…

DrawL: Understanding the Effects of Non-Mainstream Dialects in Prompted Image Generation
Text-to-image models are now easy to use and ubiquitous. However, prior work has found that they are prone to recapitulating harmful Western stereotypes. For example, requesting that a model generate an "African person and their house," may produce a person standing next to a straw hut. In this example, the word "African" is an explicit descriptor of the person that the prompt is seeking to depict. Here, we examine whether implicit markers, such as dialect, can also affect the portrayal of peop…
