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…

Pattern recognition in complex systems via vector-field representations of spatio-temporal data

arXiv:2512.16763v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: A complex system comprises multiple interacting entities whose interdependencies form a unified whole, exhibiting emergent behaviours not present in individual components. Examples include the human brain, living cells, soft matter, Earth's climate, e…

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.

SHARe-KAN: Holographic Vector Quantization for Memory-Bound Inference

arXiv:2512.15742v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs) face a fundamental memory wall: their learned basis functions create parameter counts that impose extreme bandwidth demands, hindering deployment in memory-constrained environments. We show that Vision KANs exhibit a …
