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 coherent model of the data generating process — a world model. We find evidence for […]
Kavli Affiliate: Laura Schaefer | First 5 Authors: Maggie A. Thompson, Myriam Telus, Graham Harper Edwards, Laura Schaefer, Jasmeet Dhaliwal | Summary: Outgassing is a central process during the formation and evolution of terrestrial planets and their atmospheres both within and beyond the solar system. Although terrestrial planets’ early atmospheres likely form via outgassing during […]
Kavli Affiliate: Simeon Hellerman | First 5 Authors: Matthew Dodelson, Simeon Hellerman, Masataka Watanabe, Masahito Yamazaki, | Summary: It is shown that integrability is an accidental property of generic two-dimensional $O(2)$-symmetric asymptotically-free theories in the regime where the charge density is much larger than the dynamical scale. We show this by constructing an infinite tower […]

Kavli Affiliate: Alex Kolodkin | Authors: Jakub Ziak, Joelle Dorskind, Brian Trigg, Sriram Sudarsanam, Randal Hand and Alex L Kolodkin | Summary: Regulation of directed axon guidance and branching during development is essential for the generation of neuronal networks. However, the molecular mechanisms that underlie interstitial axon branching in the mammalian brain remain unresolved. Here, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roger W. Romani | First 5 Authors: Steven R. Ehlert, Ioannis Liodakis, Riccardo Middei, Alan P. Marscher, Fabrizio Tavecchio | Summary: We present polarization measurements in the $2-8 thinspace mathrm{keV}$ band from blazar 1ES 0229+200, the first extreme high synchrotron peaked source to be observed by the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE). Combining […]
Kavli Affiliate: Liam Paninski | Authors: Marcus A. Triplett, Marta Gajowa, Benjamin Antin, Masato Sadahiro, Hillel Adesnik and Liam Paninski | Summary: Abstract Discovering how neural computations are implemented in the cortex at the level of monosynaptic connectivity requires probing for the existence of synapses from possibly thousands of presynaptic candidate neurons. Two-photon optogenetics has […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alyosha Molnar | First 5 Authors: Stuart Daudlin, Anthony Rizzo, Sunwoo Lee, Devesh Khilwani, Christine Ou | Summary: Artificial intelligence (AI) hardware is positioned to unlock revolutionary computational abilities across diverse fields ranging from fundamental science [1] to medicine [2] and environmental science [3] by leveraging advanced semiconductor chips interconnected in vast distributed […]
Kavli Affiliate: Deepto Chakrabarty | First 5 Authors: Mason Ng, Andrew K. Hughes, Jeroen Homan, Jon M. Miller, Sean N. Pike | Summary: We report on X-ray (NICER/NuSTAR/MAXI/Swift) and radio (MeerKAT) timing and spectroscopic analysis from a three-month monitoring campaign in 2022 of a high-intensity outburst of the dipping neutron star low-mass X-ray binary 1A […]
