Large language model (LLM) platforms introducing advertising must decide how much capability ad revenue should fund and what consumers should pay to avoid ads. We study a monopolistic platform that jointly chooses costly response quality, advertising intensity, and subscription prices when advertising reduces user valu...
Yalda Embedding, a 595.8-million-parameter Persian retrieval model adapted from Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B, is presented, a 595.8-million-parameter Persian retrieval model using more than one million query-document pairs and achieves the highest macro-average among the evaluated 0.6B models.

Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used to optimize code for performance. This practice often assumes that improvements in execution speed naturally translate into overall lower energy consumption. We challenge this assumption empirically by measuring whether performance-optimized code produced by LLM self-r...

Fine-tuning on datasets of unknown origin can create a backdoor in the trained model when the data includes poisoned examples. Difficult to localise and remove, backdoors can persist through safety training. While parameter-efficient fine-tuning methods capture the full parameter changes introduced during training, the...

This work introduces PoKER, a novel probabilistic model engineered to optimize missile launch effectiveness in air-to-air scenarios, specifically within Beyond Visual Range (BVR) air combat. Unlike conventional Weapon Engagement Zone (WEZ) models that delineate zones based on static distances such as maximum, minimum,...

We learn schedules for a continuous penalty relaxation of MAX-CUT by backpropagating through an unrolled classical solver. A state-blind schedule generalizes to instances substantially larger than those used for training. A state-adaptive bilinear schedule also generalizes out of distribution, outperforming its untrain...

Hospitals regularly buy software that clinicians and patients depend on. Because these purchases are costly, hard to reverse and can affect patient care, buyers look for evidence of which peer institutions already use a product and which systems it connects to. This evidence is public but scattered across vendor websit...

This work investigates demographic biases in LLM-emulated electorates: how accurately LLMs represent individual votes, whether some voter groups are represented more accurately than others, and whether AI alignment can reduce these disparities without sacrificing overall accuracy.

On-policy self-distillation enables post-training foundation models without relying on stronger external teachers. However, existing approaches rely on ground-truth question-answer pairs, human-curated problem sets, or other supervised signals. In this work, we reformulate on-policy self-distillation as a self-training...

This paper studies interactions between clean-label poisoning attack and defense in vehicular networks using federated learning (FL). Basic Safety Message (BSM) classification for anomaly detection is modeled as a distributed learning problem over a vehicular network with dynamic topology. As a critical threat to FL, a...

Navigating complex, high-dimensional biological search spaces necessitates scalable physical and computational intelligence to explore beyond local optima through iterative self-play across ideation, experimentation, and automation. Translating experimental designs into reliable physical execution remains bottlenecked...

Unrecognized anomalies in critical infrastructure can rapidly cascade into catastrophic physical or operational failures. Current anomaly detection approaches often rely on direct access to the monitored system by utilizing onboard sensors, such as motor encoders, to detect anomalous states. However, legacy hardware of...
