I definitely enjoyed today's wordle, probably because my guesses worked very well, providing good clues and having eliminated most options (I think, bot will have to confirm) at the end.
Bot confirms only 2 words were left.
Bot and I always have a difference of opinion on a result like my 1st guess, bot thinks it's unlucky because there are so many words left, I consider it lucky because it's eliminated 5 letters, and not constrained my coming up w/ words for my next guess.

BYOS: Knowledge-driven Large Language Models Bring Your Own Operating System More Excellent
Operating System (OS) kernel tuning involves systematically adjusting kernel configurations to optimize system performance. Despite recent advancements in large language models (LLMs), kernel tuning remains a critical challenge due to: (1) the semantic gap between abstract tuning objective and concrete config options, (2) insufficient environmental interaction induces LLM hallucinations, and (3) the rapid evolution of kernel versions. To address these challenges, we propose BYOS, a LLM-powered …

Academic Research Output Derivatives: Structuring Futures and Options on Research Output Index
This paper explores an innovative financial concept--Academic Research Output Futures (AROFs)--which aim to bring the tools of market-based finance into the realm of academic research. At the heart of this idea lies a cash-settled futures contract tethered to a composite Research Output Index (ROI), a metric designed to quantify the research productivity of universities and research institutions. By allowing investors to take positions--speculative or hedging--on the projected trajectory of aca…

Boosting Binomial Exotic Option Pricing with Tensor Networks
Pricing of exotic financial derivatives, such as Asian and multi-asset American basket options, poses significant challenges for standard numerical methods such as binomial trees or Monte Carlo methods. While the former often scales exponentially with the parameters of interest, the latter often requires expensive simulations to obtain sufficient statistical convergence. This work combines the binomial pricing method for options with tensor network techniques, specifically Matrix Product States…

Architectural Vulnerability and Reliability Challenges in AI Text Annotation: A Survey-Inspired Framework with Independent Probability Assessment
Large Language Models, despite their power, have a fundamental architectural vulnerability stemming from their causal transformer design -- order sensitivity. This architectural constraint may distorts classification outcomes when prompt elements like label options are reordered, revealing a theoretical gap between accuracy metrics and true model reliability. The paper conceptualizes this vulnerability through the lens of survey methodology, where respondent biases parallel LLM positional depen…

Effect of Vaccine Dose Intervals: Considering Immunity Levels, Vaccine Efficacy, and Strain Variants for Disease Control Strategy
In this study, we present an immuno-epidemic model to understand mitigation options during an epidemic break. The model incorporates comorbidity and multiple-vaccine doses through a system of coupled integro-differential equations to analyze the epidemic rate and intensity from a knowledge of the basic reproduction number and time-distributed rate functions. Our modeling results show that the interval between vaccine doses is a key control parameter that can be tuned to significantly influence …

A Computational Fluid Dynamics study of drug-releasing ocular implants for glaucoma treatment: Comparison of implant size and locations
Drug-releasing implants are gaining momentum in the treatment of glaucoma. Implants present however several limitations. Among these limitations, there is the inability to provide an even distribution of the drug in the trabecular meshwork. CFD simulations were used in this work to study the interplay between ocular fluid dynamics and drug diffusion to explore the options to achieve a homogeneous drug distribution. The analysis finds that the balance between convection and diffusion flux hinder…

Been playing Pistol Whip again. Such a great game. The Black Magic "hard" level, with Reckless and Hell options is ridiculously hard. Finishing at all is a feat.
Was wondering how the hell the top players managed to score so highly. I was in like 4th place thinking I was playing a practically perfect game.
But it turns out only with 188 hits. The top three, I noticed, has 189 hits! There's a secret dude!?
Found him, flying around in the sky mid level on the right.
Nice. That's me 3rd in the global leaderboard for Black Magic Hard Reckless Hell now then.
Maybe I shouldn't be giving the game away. If someone learns of the secret dude from this post and then beats me into 4th place I'll be miffed.

Floating exercise boundaries for American options in time-inhomogeneous models
This paper examines a semi-analytical approach for pricing American options in time-inhomogeneous models characterized by negative interest rates (for equity/FX) or negative convenience yields (for commodities/cryptocurrencies). Under such conditions, exercise boundaries may exhibit a "floating" structure - dynamically appearing and disappearing. For example, a second exercise boundary could emerge within the computational domain and subsequently both could collapse, demanding specialized prici…

Closed-form solutions for VIX derivatives in a Legendre empirical model
In this paper, we introduce a data-driven, single-parameter Markov diffusion model for the VIX. The volatility factor evolves in $(-1,1)$ with a uniform invariant distribution ensured by Legendre polynomials, mapped to the empirical distribution. We derive analytical series solutions for VIX futures and options using separation of variables to solve the Feynman-Kac PDE. Compared to the 3/2 model, our approach offers equal or superior accuracy and flexibility, providing an efficient, robust alte…

Leveraging a unique dataset of carbon futures option prices traded on the ICE market from December 2015 until December 2020, we present the results from an unprecedented calibration exercise.

Rough Bergomi turns grey
We propose a tractable extension of the rough Bergomi model, replacing the fractional Brownian motion with a generalised grey Brownian motion, which we show to be reminiscent of models with stochastic volatility of volatility. This extension breaks away from the log-Normal assumption of rough Bergomi, thereby making it a viable suggestion for the Equity Holy Grail -- the joint SPX/VIX options calibration. For this new (class of) model(s), we provide semi-closed and asymptotic formulae for SPX a…
