EMAG: Self-Rectifying Diffusion Sampling with Exponential Moving Average Guidance

arXiv:2512.17303v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: In diffusion and flow-matching generative models, guidance techniques are widely used to improve sample quality and consistency. Classifier-free guidance (CFG) is the de facto choice in modern systems and achieves this by contrasting conditional and u…

Task Schema and Binding: A Double Dissociation Study of In-Context Learning

arXiv:2512.17325v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We provide causal mechanistic validation that in-context learning (ICL) decomposes into two separable mechanisms: Task Schema (abstract task type recognition) and Binding (specific input-output associations). Through activation patching experiments ac…

BumpNet: A Sparse Neural Network Framework for Learning PDE Solutions

arXiv:2512.17198v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We introduce BumpNet, a sparse neural network framework for PDE numerical solution and operator learning. BumpNet is based on meshless basis function expansion, in a similar fashion to radial-basis function (RBF) networks. Unlike RBF networks, the bas…

Modelling financial time series with $\phi^{4}$ quantum field theory

arXiv:2512.17225v1 Announce Type: cross
Abstract: We use a $\phi^{4}$ quantum field theory with inhomogeneous couplings and explicit symmetry-breaking to model an ensemble of financial time series from the S$\&$P 500 index. The continuum nature of the $\phi^4$ theory avoids the inaccuracies that oc…

Are Vision Language Models Cross-Cultural Theory of Mind Reasoners?

arXiv:2512.17394v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Theory of Mind (ToM) -- the ability to attribute beliefs, desires, and emotions to others -- is fundamental for human social intelligence, yet remains a major challenge for artificial agents. Existing Vision-Language Models (VLMs) are increasingly app…

Exploring the Effect of Basis Rotation on NQS Performance

arXiv:2512.17893v1 Announce Type: cross
Abstract: Neural Quantum States (NQS) use neural networks to represent wavefunctions of quantum many-body systems, but their performance depends on the choice of basis, yet the underlying mechanism remains poorly understood. We use a fully solvable one-dimens…

Compression is Routing: Reconstruction Error as an Intrinsic Signal for Modular Language Models

arXiv:2512.16963v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Current Large Language Models (LLMs) face three major challenges: context length limitations, high inference costs, and catastrophic forgetting during continual learning. While Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures mitigate some of these conflicts, t…
