Kavli Affiliate: Robert L. Byer | First 5 Authors: Payton Broaddus, Thilo Egenolf, Dylan S. Black, Melanie Murillo, Clarisse Woodahl | Summary: We demonstrate a silicon-based electron accelerator that uses laser optical near fields to both accelerate and confine electrons over extended distances. Two dielectric laser accelerator (DLA) designs were tested, each consisting of two […]

Kavli Affiliate: Chihway Chang | First 5 Authors: Dhayaa Anbajagane, Chihway Chang, Hayden Lee, Marco Gatti, | Summary: Primordial non-Gaussianities (PNGs) are signatures in the density field that encode particle physics processes from the inflationary epoch. Such signatures have been extensively studied using the Cosmic Microwave Background, through constraining the amplitudes, $f^{X}_{rm NL}$, with future […]
Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: Ziming Liu, Max Tegmark, , , | Summary: Neural scaling laws (NSL) refer to the phenomenon where model performance improves with scale. Sharma & Kaplan analyzed NSL using approximation theory and predict that MSE losses decay as $N^{-alpha}$, $alpha=4/d$, where $N$ is the number of model parameters, […]

Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: Wes Gurnee, Max Tegmark, , , | Summary: The capabilities of large language models (LLMs) have sparked debate over whether such systems just learn an enormous collection of superficial statistics or a set of more coherent and grounded representations that reflect the real world. We find evidence […]

We find preliminary evidence […]

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Wimmer | First 5 Authors: Lukas Lipp, David Hahn, Pierre Ecormier-Nocca, Florian Rist, Michael Wimmer | Summary: Differentiable rendering methods promise the ability to optimize various parameters of 3d scenes to achieve a desired result. However, lighting design has so far received little attention in this field. In this paper, we introduce […]
