The Convergence of Heavy and Light Seeds to Overmassive Black Holes at Cosmic Dawn

Kavli Affiliate: Kohei Inayoshi | First 5 Authors: Haojie Hu, Kohei Inayoshi, Zoltan Haiman, Luis C. Ho, Ken Ohsuga | Summary: The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has revealed low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (AGNs) at redshifts of $zgtrsim 4-7$, many of which host accreting massive black holes (BHs) with BH-to-galaxy mass ($M_{rm BH}/M_{star}$) ratios exceeding […]

The optical and infrared are connected

Kavli Affiliate: David N. Spergel | First 5 Authors: Christian K. Jespersen, Peter Melchior, David N. Spergel, Andy D. Goulding, ChangHoon Hahn | Summary: Galaxies are often modelled as composites of separable components with distinct spectral signatures, implying that different wavelength ranges are only weakly correlated. They are not. We present a data-driven model which […]

Towards Understanding Distilled Reasoning Models: A Representational Approach

Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: David D. Baek, Max Tegmark, , , | Summary: In this paper, we investigate how model distillation impacts the development of reasoning features in large language models (LLMs). To explore this, we train a crosscoder on Qwen-series models and their fine-tuned variants. Our results suggest that the […]

Effectiveness of Digital Dispersion Compensation in OCT

Kavli Affiliate: Xingde Li | Authors: Fengquan Liu and Xingde Li | Summary: Dispersion mismatch in optical coherence tomography (OCT) is typically addressed through either physical or digital compensation. In this study, we investigate the impact of dispersion on OCT detection sensitivity and compare the effectiveness of physical and digital compensation across varying degrees of […]
