Addendum: Fitting the DESI BAO Data with Dark Energy Driven by the Cohen-Kaplan-Nelson Bound
Motivated by the recent Year-2 data release of the DESI collaboration, we update our results on time-varying dark energy models driven by the Cohen-Kaplan-Nelson bound. The previously found preference of time-dependent dark energy models compared to $\Lambda$CDM is further strengthend by the...
An LMM for Efficient Video Understanding via Reinforced Compression of Video Cubes
Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) uniformly perceive video frames, creating computational inefficiency for videos with inherently varying temporal information density. This paper present \textbf{Quicksviewer}, an LMM with new perceiving paradigm that partitions a video of nonuniform density into varying cubes using Gumbel Softmax,...
Efficient Testing Using Surrogate Information
In modern clinical trials, there is immense pressure to use surrogate markers in place of an expensive or long-term primary outcome to make more timely decisions about treatment effectiveness. Tuttavia, using a surrogate marker to test for a treatment effect can be...
Stop Summation: Min-Form Credit Assignment Is All Process Reward Model Needs for Reasoning
Process reward models (PRMs) have proven effective for test-time scaling of Large Language Models (LLMs) on challenging reasoning tasks. Tuttavia, reward hacking issues with PRMs limit their successful application in reinforcement fine-tuning. In this paper, we identify the main cause of PRM-induced...
A Short History of (Orbital) Decay: Roman’s Prospects for Detecting Dying Planets
The Roman Space Telescope Galactic Bulge Time Domain Survey (GBTDS) is expected to detect ~10^5 transiting planets. Many of these planets will have short orbital periods and are thus susceptible to tidal decay. We use a catalog of simulated transiting planet detections...
DRAWER: Digital Reconstruction and Articulation With Environment Realism
Creating virtual digital replicas from real-world data unlocks significant potential across domains like gaming and robotics. In this paper, we present DRAWER, a novel framework that converts a video of a static indoor scene into a photorealistic and interactive digital environment. Our...
StyleMe3D: Stylization with Disentangled Priors by Multiple Encoders on 3D Gaussians
3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) excels in photorealistic scene reconstruction but struggles with stylized scenarios (e.g., cartoons, games) due to fragmented textures, semantic misalignment, and limited adaptability to abstract aesthetics. We propose StyleMe3D, a holistic framework for 3D GS style transfer that integrates...
Plasma Instabilities Dominate Radioactive Transients Magnetic Fields: The self-confinement of leptons in Type Ia and Core-Collapse Supernovae, and Kilonovae
The light curves of radioactive transients, such as supernovae and kilonovae, are powered by the decay of radioisotopes, which release high-energy leptons through $\beta^+$ and $\beta^-$ decays. These leptons deposit energy into the expanding ejecta. As the ejecta density decreases during expansion,...
Discovering $μ$Hz gravitational waves and ultra-light dark matter with binary resonances
In the presence of a weak gravitational wave (GW) background, astrophysical binary systems act as high-quality resonators, with efficient transfer of energy and momentum between the orbit and a harmonic GW leading to potentially detectable orbital perturbations. In this work, we develop...
Canonical ensemble of a $d$-dimensional Reissner-Nordström black hole in a cavity
We construct the canonical ensemble of a $d$-dimensional Reissner-Nordstr\”om black hole spacetime in a cavity surrounded by a heat reservoir through the Euclidean path integral formalism. The heat reservoir is described by the boundary of the cavity with fixed radius $R$, fixed...
