Always publish an open preprint first, and then, if needed, submit to a journal. If the preprint is open anyway, it probably doesn't matter whether your chosen journal is open access (of any flavour) or subscription-…

A note on Automatic Baire property
Automatic Baire property is a variant of the usual Baire property which is fulfilled for subsets of the Cantor space accepted by finite automata. We consider the family $\mathcal{A}$ of subsets of the Cantor space having the Automatic Baire property. In particular we show that not all finite subsets have the Automatic Baire property, and that already a slight increase of the computational power of the accepting device may lead beyond the class $\mathcal{A}$.

On likelihood of a Condorcet winner for uniformly random and independent voter preferences
We study a mathematical model of voting contest with $m$ voters and $n$ candidates, with each voter ranking the candidates in order of preference, without ties. A Condorcet winner is a candidate who gets more than $m/2$ votes in pairwise contest with every other candidate. An ``impartial culture'' setting is the case when each voter chooses his/her candidate preference list uniformly at random from all $n!$ preferences, and does it independently of all other voters. For impartial culture case, …

After training, we finetune on real-world data. We observe that the models that have been pre-trained with noise converge very quickly compared to a baseline which is trained from scratch.
Moreover, on the other datasets, the UP models retain their zero-shot performance during finetuning. This suggests that there may be a generalization benefit to using a UP model.
All this is at the expense of much longer training, but that cost can be amortized over many tasks.

Scalable GPU Performance Variability Analysis framework
Analyzing large-scale performance logs from GPU profilers often requires terabytes of memory and hours of runtime, even for basic summaries. These constraints prevent timely insight and hinder the integration of performance analytics into automated workflows. Existing analysis tools typically process data sequentially, making them ill-suited for HPC workflows with growing trace complexity and volume. We introduce a distributed data analysis framework that scales with dataset size and compute av…
