Lecture Notes on Verifying Graph Neural Networks
In these lecture notes, we first recall the connection between graph neural networks, Weisfeiler-Lehman tests and logics such as first-order logic and graded modal logic. We then present a modal logic in which counting modalities appear in linear inequalities in order to solve verification tasks on graph neural networks. We describe an algorithm for the satisfiability problem of that logic. It is inspired from the tableau method of vanilla modal logic, extended with reasoning in quantifier-free…

Hybrid Ridgelet Deep Neural Networks for Data-Driven Arbitrage Strategies
In this study, we propose a novel model framework that integrates deep neural networks with the Ridgelet Transform. The Ridgelet Transform on Borel measurable functions is used for arbitrage detection on high-dimensional sparse structures. This transform also enhances the expressive power of neural networks, enabling them to capture complex and high-dimensional market structures. Theoretically, we determine profitable trading strategies by optimizing hybrid ridgelet deep neural networks. Furthe…

REGENT: Relevance-Guided Attention for Entity-Aware Multi-Vector Neural Re-Ranking
Current neural re-rankers often struggle with complex information needs and long, content-rich documents. The fundamental issue is not computational--it is intelligent content selection: identifying what matters in lengthy, multi-faceted texts. While humans naturally anchor their understanding around key entities and concepts, neural models process text within rigid token windows, treating all interactions as equally important and missing critical semantic signals. We introduce REGENT, a neural…
