SimLayerKV: A Simple Framework for Layer-Level KV Cache Reduction

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Xuan Zhang, Cunxiao Du, Chao Du, Tianyu Pang, Wei Gao | Summary: Recent advancements in large language models (LLMs) have extended their capabilities to handle long contexts. However, increasing the number of model layers and the length of input sequences significantly escalates the memory required to store […]

Machine-Learning Analysis of Radiative Decays to Dark Matter at the LHC

Kavli Affiliate: Marcela Carena | First 5 Authors: Ernesto Arganda, Marcela Carena, Martín de los Rios, Andres D. Perez, Duncan Rocha | Summary: The search for weakly interacting matter particles (WIMPs) is one of the main objectives of the High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC). In this work we use Machine Learning (ML) techniques to […]

The Affleck-Dine Curvaton

Kavli Affiliate: Gordan Krnjaic | First 5 Authors: Aurora Ireland, Gordan Krnjaic, Takuya Okawa, , | Summary: The Standard Model of particle physics does not explain the origin of the universe’s baryon asymmetry or its primordial fluctuations. The Affleck-Dine mechanism is a well-motivated scenario for generating the baryon asymmetry through the post-inflationary dynamics of a […]

On “Inconsistencies of metalens performance and comparison with conventional diffractive optics”

Kavli Affiliate: Andrei Faraon | First 5 Authors: Amir Arbabi, Andrei Faraon, , , | Summary: It was recently claimed1 that reported focusing efficiency values of high numerical aperture metalenses are inconsistent with a theoretical bound, and their measurement results are incorrectly interpreted. We review the article and conclude that these claims are not well […]

Expansion properties of the young supernova type Iax remnant Pa 30 revealed

Kavli Affiliate: David Charbonneau | First 5 Authors: Tim Cunningham, Ilaria Caiazzo, Nikolaus Z. Prusinski, James Fuller, John C. Raymond | Summary: The recently discovered Pa 30 nebula, the putative type Iax supernova remnant associated with the historical supernova of 1181 AD, shows puzzling characteristics that make it unique among known supernova remnants. In particular, […]

Search for non-virialized axions with 3.3-4.2 $μ$eV mass at selected resolving powers

Kavli Affiliate: Chao-Lin Kuo | First 5 Authors: A. T. Hipp, A. Quiskamp, T. J. Caligiure, J. R. Gleason, Y. Han | Summary: The Axion Dark Matter eXperiment is sensitive to narrow axion flows, given axions compose a fraction of the dark matter with a non-negligible local density. Detecting these low-velocity dispersion flows requires a […]

Gravitational Effects of Null Particles

Kavli Affiliate: Craig Hogan | First 5 Authors: Kris Mackewicz, Craig Hogan, , , | Summary: We generalize earlier solutions of gravitational shocks sourced by distributional null stress-energy and analyze their observable effects. A systematic method is proposed to demonstrate consistency between the gravitational effects of a null perfect fluid, i.e. a photon gas, and […]

Measuring the Inconsistency of Large Language Models in Preferential Ranking

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Xiutian Zhao, Ke Wang, Wei Peng, , | Summary: Despite large language models’ (LLMs) recent advancements, their bias and hallucination issues persist, and their ability to offer consistent preferential rankings remains underexplored. This study investigates the capacity of LLMs to provide consistent ordinal preferences, a crucial aspect […]

The spin lifetime of an individual atomic nucleus investigated via local-probe single-shot readout

Kavli Affiliate: Sander Otte | First 5 Authors: Evert W. Stolte, Jinwon Lee, Hester Vennema, Rik Broekhoven, Esther Teng | Summary: Nuclear spins owe their long-lived magnetic states to their excellent isolation from their environment. At the same time, a limited degree of interaction with their surroundings is necessary for reading and writing the spin […]
