The STROBE-X Low Energy Modular Array (LEMA) Instrument

Kavli Affiliate: Ronald Remillard | Summary:The Low Energy Modular Array (LEMA) is one of three instruments that compose the STROBE-X mission concept. The LEMA is a large effective-area, high throughput, non-imaging pointed instrument based on the X-ray Timing Instrument of the Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) mission. The LEMA is designed for spectral-timing measurements […]

Investigating Representation Universality: Case Study on Genealogical Representations

Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | Summary:Motivated by interpretability and reliability, we investigate whether large language models (LLMs) deploy universal geometric structures to encode discrete, graph-structured knowledge. To this end, we present two complementary experimental evidence that might support universality of graph representations. First, on an in-context genealogy Q&A task, we train a cone probe to […]
