Holographic Neural PCFG for Unsupervised Parsing

Unsupervised constituency parsing aims to accurately induce latent tree structures from raw text alone. Recent neural parameterizations of PCFGs achieve strong performance in both supervised and unsupervised parsing, yet rely on high-capacity black-box networks for rule scoring -- as exemplified by the Neural PCFG family -- leaving rule probabilities without an interpretable mathematical form.

PGD-NO: A Neural Operator with Precomputed Geometry Decomposition for 3D Million-scale Physics Simulations

While neural PDE solvers have demonstrated significant potential for accelerating engineering simulations, existing architectures remain constrained by high memory consumption and the single node bottleneck, where the maximum processable mesh resolution is strictly limited by the VRAM of a single compute unit. To address these challenges, we propose PGD-NO, a neural operator with Precomputed Geometry Decomposition, that relocates the computational overhead of geometric encoding to a deterministic pre-computation phase.

Accurate, Interdisciplinary and Transparent Structure-property Understanding with Deep Native Structural Reasoning

Structure-property relationships are foundational to biology, chemistry and materials science, where function, reactivity and physical response emerge from spatial, chemical and periodic organization. Mechanistically explaining these relationships requires interpreting structural evidence through scientific principles and physical constraints, from stereochemistry and bonding to symmetry, energetics and periodic order.

Breaking Database Lock-in: Agentic Regeneration of High Performance Storage Readers for Database Bypass

Analytical workloads operating on data stored in external database systems face a fundamental bottleneck: data access is guarded entirely by the database driver, like JDBC or ODBC, forcing all reads through query execution and other driver layers that are not designed for bulk columnar analytics. We present Jailbreak, an approach that bypasses the database engine entirely by reading storage files directly and materializing data as in-memory columnar buffers.

Higher-Order Geometric Updates for Levenberg-Marquardt Method via Riemann Normal Coordinates

Nonlinear least-squares optimization is central to regression, physics-informed neural networks, and other machine-learning tasks. Such problems have a natural geometric interpretation, model predictions form a manifold in data space, while the chosen parameterization can introduce parameter-effects curvature that becomes a dominant source of nonlinearity.

Gradient-free Riemannian Langevin Sampler

We address the problem of efficiently sampling multimodal probability distributions, where standard Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods often suffer from poor mixing and mode trapping. To mitigate these issues, we propose Gradient-free Riemannian Langevin Sampler (GRiLS), a novel proposal that improves exploration without requiring gradient evaluations of the target density.

Discovering Geometric Biases in 3D Face Reconstruction: A Curvature-Aware Spectral Framework for Fairness Evaluation

3D Morphable Models (3DMMs) remain the standard parametric shape priors for many state-of-the-art 3D face reconstruction algorithms. However, as these models are derived from a finite number of 3D face samples, they inherit the morphological biases of their training data, potentially limiting their generalizability across diverse global populations.

HAJJv2-CrowdCount: Zero-Shot Benchmark for Dense Crowd Counting

Automated crowd counting in Hajj video is difficult not because current models lack capacity, but because the footage violates the assumptions those models were built on: cameras observe the crowd from steep, near-vertical angles, individuals occlude one another extensively, and a single frame can contain well over a thousand people. Benchmarks that test crowd counting in such an environment are either private or not detailed per second.
