End-to-end decision latency of a confidence-gated Laya–phi4 cascade on one consumer GPU

A small, fast text classifier can answer the easy cases itself and pass only the uncertain ones to a large language model. Version 1.0 of this work estimated how much time such a two-stage setup saves; this version measures it while both models run on one consumer graphics card. The two-stage setup made the average dec...

CLARA: Compound Library Active Learning with Reasoning Agents

Batch active learning for ligand discovery requires a recurring decision about whether to exploit high predicted affinity, reduce model uncertainty, or broaden chemical coverage. We test whether a language model can make this strategy-level decision while candidate ranking and label revelation remain controlled by a de...

Commerce Core Expansion: Auditing Small-Model Adaptation for Product Matching and Attribute Extraction

Small language models could support several product-understanding operations within a retailer’s infrastructure, but evidence of task accuracy is easily con-founded with evidence of generalization or serving efficiency. We study QLoRA adaptation of Qwen3-1.7B for query–product relevance, listing identity, functional re...

Impostor phenomenon, coping strategies and academic attainment among university students in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia: a cross-sectional study

Background: The impostor phenomenon (IP), the internal experience of intellectual phoniness despite objective competence, is poorly understood in Arabic-speaking populations, particularly its interplay with coping and attainment. This study estimated IP prevalence, characterized coping, and modeled cumulative grade poi...

MoEKD: Advancing Robustness, Performance, and Behavioral Fidelity in Compressed Code Models via Mixture-of-Experts Knowledge Distillation

Large language models for code have achieved strong performance across diverse software analytics tasks, yet their real-world adoption remains limited by high computational demands, slow inference speeds, significant energy consumption, and environmental impact. Knowledge distillation (KD) offers a practical solution b...

HepDecide: A Standards-Oriented, Explainable Clinical Decision Support Prototype for the Chronic Liver-Disease Spectrum—Design, Guideline-Grounded Reporting, and a Leakage-Controlled Retrospective Evaluation

Background/Objectives: Specialist hepatology capacity is small relative to the population needing assessment, so most decisions about whom to investigate for chronic liver disease fall to non-specialists guided by static laboratory indices reported in isolation. This study presents HepDecide, a standards-oriented decis...

Resource-Efficient Fine-Tuning of Compact LLMs for Supply Chain Operations: A Hybrid QLoRA and RAG Approach

Large Language Models (LLMs) offer transformative potential for enterprise automation, particularly within the highly complex and data-dense environments of transportation, supply chain management, and intralogistics. However, deploying foundational models in these specialized domains frequently results in a critical f...

The Mathematics of ONE — V1.4: Testing the Boundary ε. Observational Bounds on the Photon Mass and the Speed of Light

Version 1.4 — Falsifiable test (5 languages). A stand-alone paper continuing V1.2 (Section 9) and V1.3 (Section 10). In V1.2 the boundaries of the UNU interval are α = ε and Ω = 2 − ε, with ε a hyperreal infinitesimal. This note tests what happens if ε is instead a positive real number. Two physically distinct readings...

Eve's Embrace of Extreme Quantization v1.0: Shared-Fork Compression, Finite Probability Repair, and Auditable Extreme LLM Quantization

Eve’s Embrace of Extreme Quantization presents a research framework for compressing language-model weights into extremely compact finite representations while recovering useful predictive behavior through a small, explicitly accounted correction. Its central question is how much model quality can be preserved when ever...

Integrating Critical Thinking in Language Education: A Textual Analysis

Critical thinking is generally regarded as a desirable objective in language education, although there is disagreement on its definition, teachability to second-language learners, and integration into language classes. This paper conducts an open textual analysis of a collection of eight abstracts published between 199...

Proof-based general-purpose computing with Magnetar

Zero-knowledge proofs can verify computing results without rerunning workloads or exposing sensitive data. Magnetar helps bring them into the mainstream with support for standard programming languages, major speed gains, and quantum-resistant security. The post Proof-based general-purpose computing with Magnetar appeared first on Microsoft Research.
