Towards Understanding Grokking: An Effective Theory of Representation Learning

Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: Ziming Liu, Ouail Kitouni, Niklas Nolte, Eric J. Michaud, Max Tegmark | Summary: We aim to understand grokking, a phenomenon where models generalize long after overfitting their training set. We present both a microscopic analysis anchored by an effective theory and a macroscopic analysis of phase diagrams […]

SRGA J181414.6-225604: A new Galactic symbiotic X-ray binary outburst triggered by an intense mass loss episode of a heavily obscured Mira variable

Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Kishalay De, Ilya Mereminskiy, Roberto Soria, Charlie Conroy, Erin Kara | Summary: We present the discovery and multi-wavelength characterization of SRGA J181414.6-225604, a Galactic hard X-ray transient discovered during the ongoing SRG/ART-XC sky survey. Using data from the Palomar Gattini-IR survey, we identify a spatially and temporally […]

Can Carbon Fractionation Provide Evidence for Aerial Biospheres in the Atmospheres of Temperate Sub-Neptunes?

Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: Ana Glidden, Sara Seager, Jingcheng Huang, Janusz J. Petkowski, Sukrit Ranjan | Summary: The search for signs of life on other worlds has largely focused on terrestrial planets. Recent work, however, argues that life could exist in the atmospheres of temperate sub-Neptunes. Here, we evaluate the usefulness […]

The Quadruple Image Configurations of Asymptotically Circular Gravitational Lenses

Kavli Affiliate: Paul L. Schechter | First 5 Authors: Chirag Falor, Paul L. Schechter, , , | Summary: The quadruple image configurations of gravitational lenses with vanishing ellipticity are examined. Even though such lenses asymptotically approach circularity, the configurations are stable if the position of the source relative to the vanishing diamond caustic is held […]
