TabReX : Tabular Referenceless eXplainable Evaluation

arXiv:2512.15907v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Evaluating the quality of tables generated by large language models (LLMs) remains an open challenge: existing metrics either flatten tables into text, ignoring structure, or rely on fixed references that limit generalization. We present TabReX, a ref…

Online Competitive Searching for Rays in the Half-plane

arXiv:2512.16622v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We consider the problem of searching for rays (or lines) in the half-plane. The given problem turns out to be a very natural extension of the cow-path problem that is lifted into the half-plane and the problem can also directly be motivated by a 1.5-d…

Re: National Center for Atmospheric Research closing?

Atmospheric research should be under NOAA and not under NASA. NASA should be totally space oriented. Just my opinion. NOAA should handle anything under the Karman line. NASA above. It is just my opinion. Many government agencies overlap.
