Step-DAD: Semi-Amortized Policy-Based Bayesian Experimental Design
We develop a semi-amortized, policy-based, approach to Bayesian experimental design (BED) called Stepwise Deep Adaptive Design (Step-DAD). Like existing, fully amortized, policy-based BED approaches, Step-DAD trains a design policy upfront before the experiment. However, rather than keeping this policy fixed, Step-DAD periodically updates it as data is gathered, refining it to the particular experimental instance. This test-time adaptation improves both the flexibility and the robustness of the…

Documenting Deployment with Fabric: A Repository of Real-World AI Governance
Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly integrated into society, from financial services and traffic management to creative writing. Academic literature on the deployment of AI has mostly focused on the risks and harms that result from the use of AI. We introduce Fabric, a publicly available repository of deployed AI use cases to outline their governance mechanisms. Through semi-structured interviews with practitioners, we collect an initial set of 20 AI use cases. In addition, we co-desig…

Reanalyzing DESI DR1: 1. $Λ$CDM Constraints from the Power Spectrum and Bispectrum
We present the first independent re-analysis of the galaxy clustering data from DESI Data Release 1, utilizing an effective field theory (EFT)-based full-shape model. We analyze the power spectra and bispectra of the public catalogs using a custom-built pipeline based on window-deconvolved quasi-optimal estimators, carefully accounting for all relevant systematic effects. Compared to the official collaboration analysis, we add the galaxy power spectrum hexadecapole and the bispectrum monopole, …

Delta plans for 20% of its fares to be individually determined using AI by the end of 2025, up from 3% now, with the goal of eliminating static pricing entirely (Irina Ivanova/Fortune)

Delta moves toward eliminating set prices in favor of AI that determines how much you personally will pay for a ticket
The airline touted a partnership with an AI-enabled revenue system as a step on the road to fully personalized ticket pricing, part of its goal to raise profit margins long-term.

Later, I'll be giving a talk at #IANLS25 on some quantitative analyses of Latin book prodcution in Germany (and Italy in part) from 1500 through 1800. Slides, code and data can be found here: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15878272
