The review examines how Large Language Models (LLMs) enhance nanophotonics design by providing semantic interfaces, code generation, and tool orchestration. It traces the evolution from classical neural networks to transformer-based models and categorizes LLM applications into surrogate models that map structure to spectrum and agentic systems that generate code and orchestrate simulations for closed-loop optimization. The article also highlights potential cross-disciplinary uses of LLMs in materials science and wireless communications, and envisions future multimodal foundation models that actively collaborate in autonomous scientific discovery.

Metasurfaces have revolutionized the development of photonic devices by enabling unprecedented precision in light manipulation. However, their design processes are often constrained by computationally...
WildRelight is the first in-the-wild dataset designed to evaluate single-image relighting models, featuring high-resolution outdoor scenes captured under strictly aligned, temporally varying natural illuminations paired with high-dynamic-range environment maps. The benchmark demonstrates that state-of-the-art models trained on synthetic data suffer severe domain shifts when applied to real-world imagery. Leveraging the dataset’s temporal structure, the authors introduce a physics-guided inference framework combining Diffusion Posterior Sampling with Temporal Sampling-Aware Test-Time Adaptation, enabling synthetic models to self-supervise and align with real-world statistics on-the-fly.

The paper presents a probabilistic deep learning emulator—a ResNet‑inspired Conditional Variational Autoencoder—for the stochastic Holton–Mass model of stratospheric variability, which exhibits rare transitions between strong and weak polar vortex regimes. The emulator accurately reproduces short‑term dynamics, steady‑state distributions, regime persistence, rare transition rates, the committor function, and expected lead times. Analysis of the 32‑dimensional latent space via PCA reveals an unsupervised separation into four physically interpretable clusters that correspond to the two vortex regimes and their stable or transition‑prone states.

Energy-Based Models (EBMs) provide an interpretable framework for generative modeling of scientific data, but poor Markov Chain Monte Carlo mixing often limits their reliability. We introduce a training algorithm based on Parallel Trajectory Tempering (PTT), which exploits the continuity of the optimization path to maintain equilibrium sampling throughout learning.
The paper introduces StyleGANCA, a lightweight neural cellular automata (NCA) based generative adversarial network designed for medical image synthesis. By combining a StyleGAN-inspired mapping network with adaptive style modulation in a multi-scale NCA framework, the model achieves high-quality image generation with far fewer parameters than existing adversarial, variational, diffusion, and NCA baselines. Experiments on BloodMNIST and PathMNIST show competitive FID and KID scores, and the synthetic images preserve class-specific information, effectively supporting downstream multi-class classifier training.
