Utilizing AI for Aviation Post-Accident Analysis Classification
The volume of textual data available in aviation safety reports presents a challenge for timely and accurate analysis. This paper examines how Artificial Intelligence (AI) and, specifically, Natural Language Processing (NLP) can automate the process of extracting valuable insights from this data, ultimately enhancing aviation safety. The paper reviews ongoing efforts focused on the application of NLP and deep learning to aviation safety reports, with the goal of classifying the level of damage …

$\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})$ families of Kerr black holes
The stationary, axisymmetric sector of vacuum general relativity (with zero cosmological constant) enjoys an $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})$ symmetry called the Matzner-Misner group. We study the action of the Matzner-Misner group on the Kerr black hole. We show that the group acts naturally on a three parameter generalization of the usual two parameter Kerr solution. The new parameter represents a large diffeomorphism which gives the spacetime an asymptotic angular velocity. We explain how the $\m…

"Nobody has ever accused RFK Jr. of academic rigor,” said Marion Nestle, a professor emerita of nutrition, food studies and public health at New York University. "The speed (of the MAHA report) suggests that it could not have been vetted carefully and must have been whisked through standard clearance procedures. The citation problem suggests a reliance on AI."

Large language models can learn and generalize steganographic chain-of-thought under process supervision
Chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning not only enhances large language model performance but also provides critical insights into decision-making processes, marking it as a useful tool for monitoring model intent and planning. By proactively preventing models from acting on CoT indicating misaligned or harmful intent, CoT monitoring can be used to reduce risks associated with deploying models. However, developers may be incentivized to train away the appearance of harmful intent from CoT traces, by …

On nonlinear transitions, minimal seeds and exact solutions for the geodynamo
Nearly fifty years ago, Roberts (1978) postulated that Earth's magnetic field, which is generated by turbulent motions of liquid metal in its outer core, likely results from a subcritical (finite-amplitude) dynamo instability characterised by a dominant balance between Coriolis, pressure and Lorentz forces. Here we numerically explore subcritical convective dynamo action in a spherical shell, using techniques from optimal control and dynamical systems theory to uncover the nonlinear dynamics of…

Young Rwandans support bird conservation through mobile app recordings
A young tour guide and his group of student mentees are helping monitor bird species in Rwanda with the help of a mobile app, Mongabay contributor Mariam Kone reported. Joseph Desiré Dufitumukiza, who enjoys bird-watching, felt moved to take action after he read about the decline of native bird species in Rwanda, including the Maccoa […]

Learning to Regulate: A New Event-Level Dataset of Capital Control Measures
We construct a novel event-level Capital Control Measures (CCM) dataset covering 196 countries from 1999 to 2023 by leveraging prompt-based large language models (LLMs). The dataset enables event study analysis and cross-country comparisons based on rich policy attributes, including action type, intensity, direction, implementing entity, and other multidimensional characteristics. Using a two-step prompt framework with GPT-4.1, we extract structured information from the IMF's Annual Report on E…
