Speculative decoding has become a mainstream technique for accelerating large language model (LLM) inference by using a lightweight draft model to generate candidate tokens that are subsequently verified by the target model. However, agentic workloads introduc...

Recent large audio language models (LALMs) have extended their capabilities beyond lexical speech understanding to tasks requiring paralinguistic and non-linguistic audio understanding, such as emotion recognition. However, these models still struggle to relia...

The Italian legislative process is documented in detailed parliamentary records hosted in institutional websites. However, much of this information is available only as unstructured text, limiting its systematic reuse. We applied a controlled, systematic LLM-b...

Perceived gender inference from names is important for inclusive scientometrics research, yet existing methods perform poorly on non-Western scholars. We address this gap for Chinese names, which appear in two forms, Hanzi and Pinyin, its Romanized form (e.g.,...

Rings are ubiquitous among the giant planets in the Solar System, yet their presence around exoplanets remains observationally unconstrained. As direct imaging missions such as the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope approach first light, understanding the influ...

The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope's Coronagraph Instrument (CGI) will provide the first opportunity to directly detect mature giant exoplanets in reflected light. However, most known radial-velocity planets lie near CGI's sensitivity limit. In contrast, Sa...

Galaxy-galaxy lensing (GGL) is a critical probe of cosmology and galaxy formation. However, predicted GGL amplitudes tend to be $\sim 20-40\%$ higher than observations, primarily on small scales, a tension called the lensing-is-low problem. If not resolved thr...

The evidence, $\mathcal{Z} = p(x | \mathcal{M})$, of a data-generating model $\mathcal{M}$ is a powerful tool in Bayesian frameworks: it enables model inference, model misspecification tests, and goodness-of-fit assessment as an alternative to standard discrep...

Many of the most important datasets in the physical sciences live natively on the sphere, and these data often carry no preferred position or orientation. Using methods that do not reflect this symmetry leads to far higher simulation requirements, which can be...

Scalar-induced gravitational waves (SIGWs) provide a powerful probe of the expansion history of the universe prior to the Big Bang. Indeed, the production of such gravity waves depends on the evolution of first-order scalar perturbations within the early unive...

We use the observed abundance and spatial clustering of JWST little red dots (LRDs) over z = 4--8 to confront two formation scenarios: the standard picture in which LRDs form in virialized dark-matter halos, and one in which they are seeded by a dynamically su...

Hidden sectors are generic in beyond the Standard Model constructions and string compactifications. We consider models featuring hidden sectors that have dark matter candidates. The relic density is set in part by the energy-injecting inflaton branching ratio...
