A Finslerian Approach for Embedding Directed Data

arXiv:2609.37649v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Many datasets carry an intrinsic directionality: citations point backward in time, cells differentiate along lineages, and traffic follows preferred...

Quantum Geometry of Data

arXiv:2507.21135v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We demonstrate how Quantum Cognition Machine Learning (QCML) encodes data as quantum geometry. In QCML, features of the data are represented by lea...

RAISE: Diagnosing Acquisition Collapse in Costly LLM Signals

The paper introduces RAISE, a diagnostic framework that tests whether a costly large language model (LLM) signal provides enough pre-call information to justify selective use. It identifies the failure mode of acquisition collapse, where an LLM appears useful overall but lacks actionable evidence for individual decisions. The authors demonstrate RAISE with Structured Hypothesis Embeddings (SHE) and evaluate it across multiple study designs, showing that predictable incremental benefit, rather than average lift, indicates recoverable selective value.

Improving Molecular-Morphology Contrastive Pretraining using Deep-Learning-based Morphology Profiles

The paper presents MoCoP v2, an enhanced contrastive pretraining method that aligns small molecule embeddings with deep‑learning‑derived cell morphology profiles. By replacing CellProfiler fingerprints with richer image‑encoded features, the new embeddings better capture how molecules alter cell morphology, leading to improved QSAR, toxicity, ADME, and activity predictions. Performance scales log‑linearly with training data size, indicating further gains with larger datasets.
