BridgeMem: Causal Dyadic Transition Residuals for Temporal Knowledge Graph Forecasting

BridgeMem is a new method for temporal knowledge graph forecasting that focuses on pair‑specific transition evidence, adding a residual correction to the log scores of a frozen full‑vocabulary forecaster. It retrieves and encodes prior events between a query actor and candidate, converting them into a likelihood‑ratio correction via a support‑adaptive empirical‑Bayes reader. Across five benchmarks, BridgeMem outperforms nine baselines from 2021–2026, improving filtered MRR and Hits@{1,3,10} metrics by up to 0.0216.

More than half of recent astronomy papers are written with language-model assistance

The study analyzes 207,111 astronomy papers from 2015 to mid‑2026 to quantify how many contain language‑model‑generated vocabulary. Using a hierarchical Bayesian model calibrated on pre‑2020 unassisted papers and 392 papers that disclose model use, the authors estimate that in 2025 roughly 54% (±8% statistical, ±26% systematic) of papers show a language‑model trace, with the estimate remaining above 36% under various assumptions. Despite only 0.81% of 2025 papers explicitly declaring model assistance, the trace is pervasive, and the detectable signal is fading as authors adapt to the characteristic words. whyItMatters":"The findings reveal that language‑model assistance has become widespread in recent astronomy research, yet most authors do not disclose its use, highlighting a growing gap between actual practice and transparency in scholarly writing."

AIFS-SUBS: Extending Data-Driven Forecasting to Sub-Seasonal Timescales

Data-driven models now rival numerical weather prediction in the medium range, but extending them to sub-seasonal lead times raises challenges absent at shorter horizons. Errors accumulate over long autoregressive rollouts, systematic biases grow with lead time, and several years of data must be held out for independent verification, even though machine-learning models otherwise benefit from longer training records.

Time Present and Time Past: Benchmarking Large Language Models on Temporally Evolving Document Understanding

arXiv:2608. 08512v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Evolving documents, such as laws, tax codes, and software documentation, are amended, replaced, and sometimes reverted over time, so a question has different correct answers at different dates.
