A Dual Active Black Hole Candidate with Mass Ratio ~7:1 in a Disk Galaxy

Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Xiao Cao, Yan-Mei Chen, Yong Shi, Junfeng Wang, Zhi-Jie Zhou | Summary: Dual active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with comparable masses are commonly witnessed among the major merged galaxies with interaction remnants. Considering almost every massive galaxy is associated with multiple dwarf satellites around it, minor mergers […]

Harmonic Loss Trains Interpretable AI Models

Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: David D. Baek, Ziming Liu, Riya Tyagi, Max Tegmark, | Summary: In this paper, we introduce **harmonic loss** as an alternative to the standard cross-entropy loss for training neural networks and large language models (LLMs). Harmonic loss enables improved interpretability and faster convergence, owing to its scale […]

Two-particle quantum interference in a nonlinear optical medium: a witness of timelike indistinguishability

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Chao Chen, Shu-Tian Xue, Yu-Peng Shi, Jing Wang, Zi-Mo Cheng | Summary: The Hong-Ou-Mandel effect is a paradigmatic quantum phenomenon demonstrating the interference of two indistinguishable photons that are linearly coupled at a 50:50 beam splitter. Here, we transpose such a two-particle quantum interference effect to the […]

Language Models Use Trigonometry to Do Addition

Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: Subhash Kantamneni, Max Tegmark, , , | Summary: Mathematical reasoning is an increasingly important indicator of large language model (LLM) capabilities, yet we lack understanding of how LLMs process even simple mathematical tasks. To address this, we reverse engineer how three mid-sized LLMs compute addition. We first […]
