A Fully Convolutional Approach to Denoising 2D Correlation Spectra

arXiv:2605. 29975v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We present a fully convolutional denoising autoencoder (FC-DAE) tailored for two-dimensional representations of dynamic correlations that is applicable to many experimental techniques.

RAPiD: Reward-Guided Consistency Distillation of Diffusion Planners for Real-Time Autonomous Driving

arXiv:2602. 07339v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Diffusion-based trajectory planners can model multi-modal driving behavior, but their iterative denoising process introduces a latency bottleneck for real-time closed-loop deployment.

LAWFUL: Law-Aligned Witness for Faithful Use of Latents

arXiv:2607. 28672v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: When a neural network predicts a physical system accurately, has it learned the governing law as formal, structured knowledge, and if so, does the network's internal computation actually use that representation throughout the law's domain of validity?
