Understanding Self-Regulated Learning Behavior Among High and Low Dropout Risk Students During CS1: Combining Trace Logs, Dropout Prediction and Self-Reports
The introductory programming course (CS1) at the university level is often perceived as particularly challenging, contributing to high dropout rates among Computer Science students. Identifying when and how students encounter difficulties in this course is critical for providing targeted support. This study explores the behavioral patterns of CS1 students at varying dropout risks using self-regulated learning (SRL) as the theoretical framework. Using learning analytics, we analyzed trace logs a…

Self-gravity in thin protoplanetary discs: 1. The smoothing-length approximation versus the exact self-gravity kernel
Planet-forming discs often contain structures like spiral arms, typically linked to the disc's gravitational forces. In 2D models, an ad hoc softening prescription is commonly used for self-gravity, but this overlooks the vertical structure's impact, suppresses the Newtonian nature of gravity at short distances and doesn't respect Newton's third law. To address these issues, associated with a Plummer potential approximation, we developed an exact self-gravity kernel for thin, hydrostatically …

Self-gravitating strings and quantum effects in two-dimensional gravity
It is expected that when the string coupling is taken to be sufficiently small, a black hole turns into a bound state of self-gravitating fundamental strings. This state would be described by winding strings wrapping around the Euclidean time circle, known as the Horowitz-Polchinski solution. In this paper, we study such a self-gravitating string configuration in two-dimensional dilaton gravity theories. We first derive an analytic expression of the solution describing a winding string in two-d…

Noise in Maps of the Sun at Radio Wavelengths II: Solar Use Cases
Noise in images of strong celestial sources at radio wavelengths using Fourier synthesis arrays can be dominated by the source itself, so-called self-noise. We outlined the theory of self-noise for strong sources in a companion paper. Here we consider the case of noise in maps of radio emission from the Sun which, as we show, is always dominated by self noise. We consider several classes of science use cases for current and planned arrays designed to observe the Sun in order to understand limit…

Reinforced Refinement with Self-Aware Expansion for End-to-End Autonomous Driving
End-to-end autonomous driving has emerged as a promising paradigm for directly mapping sensor inputs to planning maneuvers using learning-based modular integrations. However, existing imitation learning (IL)-based models suffer from generalization to hard cases, and a lack of corrective feedback loop under post-deployment. While reinforcement learning (RL) offers a potential solution to tackle hard cases with optimality, it is often hindered by overfitting to specific driving cases, resulting i…

Recent reasoning models show the ability to reflect, backtrack, and self-validate their reasoning, which is crucial in spotting mistakes and arriving at accurate solutions. A natural question that arises is how effectively models can perform such self-reevaluation. We tackle this question by investigating how well reasoning models identify and recover from four types of unhelpful thoughts: uninformative rambling thoughts, thoughts irrelevant to the question, thoughts misdirecting the question a…

In this regime, the soliton solution is shown to be the sole available state for the intracavity field, allowing for the automatic excitation of single solitons without the application of any external perturbations or parameter ramping. The self-excitation of cavity soliton frequency combs is validated through numerical continuation of the Lugiato-Lefever equation, direct numer…

Precision predictions of Starobinsky inflation with self-consistent Weyl-squared corrections
Starobinsky's $R+αR^2$ inflation provides a compelling one-parameter inflationary model that is supported by current cosmological observations. However, at the same order in spacetime derivatives as the $R^2$ term, an effective theory of spacetime geometry must also include the Weyl-squared curvature invariant $W^2$. In this paper, we study the inflationary predictions of the gravitational theory with action of the form $R+αR^2 - βW^2$, where the coupling constant $α$ sets the scale of infl…

Impostor Among $ν$s: Dark Radiation Masquerading as Self-Interacting Neutrinos
Multiple cosmological observations hint at neutrino self-interactions beyond the Standard Model, yet such interactions face severe constraints from terrestrial experiments. We resolve this tension by introducing a model where active neutrinos resonantly convert to self-interacting dark radiation after BBN but before CMB epoch. This exploits the fact that cosmological observables cannot distinguish between neutrinos and dark radiation with the same abundance and free-streaming properties. Our me…

Interpolations for a quantum Parisi formula in transverse field mean-field spin glass models
A quantum Parisi formula for the transverse field Sherrington-Kirkpatrick (SK) model is proven with an elementary mathematical method. First, a self-overlap corrected quantum model of the transverse field SK model is represented in terms of the Hamiltonian with annealed random interactions. The interpolation given by Guerra and Toninelli is extended to the self-overlap corrected quantum model. It is proven that the infinite-volume limit of the free energy density exists in the operator formalis…

The convergence of the proposed method is analyzed under some mild assumptions. The key advantages of the method are that it does not require the operator associated with the variational inequality to be Lipschitz continuous and that it adopts the self-adaptive stepsize.

Let $μ$ be a non-atomic self-similar measure on $\mathbb{R}$, and let $ν$ be its pushforward to a non-degenerate curve in $\mathbb{R}^d, d\geq 1$. We show that for every $ε>0$, there is $p>1$, so that $\left \lVert \hatν \right \rVert_{L^p(B(R))}^p = O_ε(R^ε)$ for all $R>1$, where $B(R)$ is the $R$-ball about the origin. As a corollary, we show that convolution with $ν$ quantitatively improves $L^2$-dimension.

LightKG: Efficient Knowledge-Aware Recommendations with Simplified GNN Architecture
Recently, Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have become the dominant approach for Knowledge Graph-aware Recommender Systems (KGRSs) due to their proven effectiveness. Building upon GNN-based KGRSs, Self-Supervised Learning (SSL) has been incorporated to address the sparity issue, leading to longer training time. However, through extensive experiments, we reveal that: (1)compared to other KGRSs, the existing GNN-based KGRSs fail to keep their superior performance under sparse interactions even with S…

Cross-Comparison of Neural Architectures and Data Sets for Digital Self-Interference Modeling
Inband full-duplex communication requires accurate modeling and cancellation of self-interference, specifically in the digital domain. Neural networks are presently candidate models for capturing nonlinearity of the self-interference path. This work utilizes synthetic and real data from different sources to evaluate and cross-compare performances of previously proposed neural self-interference models from different sources. The relevance of the analysis consists in the mutual assessment of meth…

Resonant neutrino self-interactions: insights from the full shape galaxy power spectrum
This paper investigates resonant neutrino self-interactions in cosmology by employing, for the first time, the effective field theory of large-scale structure to model their impact on the matter distribution up to mildly nonlinear scales. We explore a broad range of mediator masses in two main analyses: one combining BOSS Full Shape (FS) galaxy clustering with Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN), and another combining FS with Planck Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) data. Our results place the stron…

A Unifying Algorithm for Hierarchical Queries
The class of hierarchical queries is known to define the boundary of the dichotomy between tractability and intractability for the following two extensively studied problems about self-join free Boolean conjunctive queries (SJF-BCQ): (i) evaluating a SJF-BCQ on a tuple-independent probabilistic database; (ii) computing the Shapley value of a fact in a database on which a SJF-BCQ evaluates to true. Here, we establish that hierarchical queries define also the boundary of the dichotomy between tra…

Kerr nonlinearity, self-injection locking and correlation in a microresonator
Production of entangled photon pairs is important in secure communication systems, quantum computing, and fundamental physics experiments. Achieving efficient generation of such photon pairs with low-loss parametric oscillators is a key objective in advancing integrated quantum technologies. However, spatially separating the generated photons while preserving their entanglement represents a significant technical challenge. In this work, we demonstrate nonlinear generation of correlated optical …

Massless limit of massive self-interacting vector fields
We study massive self-interacting vector field theories with mass added ``by hand". We show that the massless limit of the quartic self-interacting vector field theory is not smooth. Pathological behavior of the theory is not limited only at the classical level, even at the quantum level unitarity is violated at the two-loop. Using the Vainshtein mechanism, we show that it fails beyond the strong-coupling scale and hence a massless limit is not smooth even in quantum theory.

With broad applications in network science and distributed optimization, recent innovations like the self-repellent random walk (SRRW) achieve near-zero variance by prioritizing under-sampled states through transition kernel modifications based on pa…

ASTAGEN: Empirical Evaluation of Automated SATD Taxonomy Generation with LLMs
Technical debt refers to suboptimal code that degrades software quality. When developers intentionally introduce such debt, it is called self-admitted technical debt (SATD). Since SATD hinders maintenance, identifying its categories is key to uncovering quality issues. Traditionally, constructing such taxonomies requires manually inspecting SATD comments and surrounding code, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and often inconsistent due to annotator subjectivity. This study presents ASTA…

Self-Correction Bench: Revealing and Addressing the Self-Correction Blind Spot in LLMs
Although large language models (LLMs) have become transformative, they still make mistakes and can explore unproductive reasoning paths. Self-correction is an important capability for a trustworthy LLM, particularly an autoregressive LLM. While LLMs can identify error in user input, they exhibit a systematic 'Self-Correction Blind Spot' - failing to correct identical error in their own outputs. To systematically study this phenomenon, we introduce Self-Correction Bench, a systematic framework t…

Continuous-time multifarious systems -- Part II: non-reciprocal multifarious self-organization
In the context of self-assembly, where complex structures can be assembled from smaller units, it is desirable to devise strategies towards disassembly and reassembly processes that reuse the constituent parts. A non-reciprocal multifarious self-organization strategy has been recently introduced, and shown to have the capacity to exhibit this complex property. In this work, we study the model using continuous-time Gillespie simulations, and compare the results against discrete-time Monte Carlo …

Multi-head self-attention (MHSA) has become a core component in modern computer vision models. However, its quadratic complexity with respect to input length poses a significant computational bottleneck in real-time and resource constrained environments. We propose PnP-Nystra, a Nyström based linear approximation of self-attention, developed as a plug-and-play (PnP) module that can be integrated into the pre-trained image and video restoration models without retraining.

The paper contributes to building algebraic foundations of self-organized criticality answering a previously unsolved question about the limiting structure of the extended sandpile group as well as relating it to another limit at the level of classical sandpile groups with respect to certain monomorphisms, and puts forward a concept of canonical sandpile epimorphisms, drawing an unexpected consequence about the divisibility properties of the numbers of spanning trees on rectangles.

Fluid Antenna System-Assisted Self-Interference Cancellation for In-Band Full Duplex Communications
In-band full-duplex (IBFD) systems are expected to double the spectral efficiency compared to half-duplex systems, provided that loopback self-interference (SI) can be effectively suppressed. The inherent interference mitigation capabilities of the emerging fluid antenna system (FAS) technology make it a promising candidate for addressing the SI challenge in IBFD systems. This paper thus proposes a FAS-assisted self-interference cancellation (SIC) framework, which leverages a receiver-side FAS …

On-the-Fly Adaptive Distillation of Transformer to Dual-State Linear Attention
Large language models (LLMs) excel at capturing global token dependencies via self-attention but face prohibitive compute and memory costs on lengthy inputs. While sub-quadratic methods (e.g., linear attention) can reduce these costs, they often degrade accuracy due to overemphasizing recent tokens. In this work, we first propose \textit{dual-state linear attention} (\textbf{\dsla}), a novel design that maintains two specialized hidden states-one for preserving historical context and one for tr…

Self-induced Floquet states via three-wave processes in synthetic antiferromagnets
We present a mechanism for self-induced Floquet states involving acoustic and optical modes in synthetic antiferromagnets. By driving optical modes off-resonantly with radiofrequency fields in the canted antiferromagnetic state, limit cycles arising from the predator-prey dynamics of the acoustic and optical mode populations can appear. The cyclic growth and decay of these mode populations induce a time-periodic modulation of the canted state, which subsequently generates Floquet states. These …

Noise in Maps of the Sun at Radio Wavelengths I: Theoretical Considerations
The Sun is a powerful source of radio emissions, so much so that, unlike most celestial sources, this emission can dominate the system noise of radio telescopes. We outline the theory of noise in maps formed by Fourier synthesis techniques at radio wavelengths, with a focus on self-noise: that is, noise due to the source itself. As a means of developing intuition we consider noise for the case of a single dish, a two-element interferometer, and an n-element array for simple limiting cases. We t…

Two coincidences are a clue: Probing a GeV-scale dark QCD sector
The similarity between dark matter and baryon energy densities suggests the existence of a dark sector analogous to the visible QCD sector. In addition, small-scale structure issues can be addressed by dark matter self-interactions with a cross section comparable to that of QCD. Both observations point to a GeV-scale dark QCD sector. In this letter, guided by these two coincidences, we investigate how a chiral dark QCD model with a MeV-scale dark photon can resolve the core-cusp problem. A pote…

In this paper, we establish the necessary and sufficient conditions for quasi-cyclic (QC) codes with index even to be symplectic self-orthogonal. Subsequently, we present the lower and upper bounds on the minimum symplectic distances of a class of $1$-generator QC codes and their symplectic dual codes by decomposing code spaces. As an application, we construct numerous new binary symplectic self-orthogonal QC codes with excellent parameters, leading to $117$ record-breaking quantum error-correc…

Exploring Nonperturbative Behaviour of Moments and Cumulants in Quantum Theories
The dynamics of quantum fields become nonperturbative when their interactions are probed by a large number of particles. To explore this regime we study correlation functions which involve a large number of fields, focussing on massive scalar theories that feature arbitrary self-interactions, $ϕ^{2p}$. Treating quantum fields as operator-valued distributions, we investigate $n$-point correlation functions at ultra-short distances and compute moments and cumulants of fields, using a semiclassic…

Self-driving labs (SDLs), employing automation and machine learning (ML) to accelerate experimental procedures, have enormous potential in the discovery of new materials. However, in thin film science, SDLs are mainly restricted to solution-based synthetic methods which are easier to automate but cannot access the broad chemical space of inorganic materials. This work presents an SDL based on magnetron co-sputtering. We are using combinatorial frameworks, obtaining accurate composition maps on …
