The UK’s generational tobacco ban might not work. I’m supporting it anyway.

As the parent of two little girls, I often think about how their childhood is different from mine. The seven-year-old is learning about AI at school. The five-year-old is given internet-based homework every week. And they are both absolutely repulsed by the idea of smoking.…

Predicting Early Stages Of Alzheimer's Disease And Identifying Key Biomarkers Using Deep Artificial Neural Network And Ensemble Of Machine Learning Methodologies

arXiv:2607.02142v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Alzheimers disease (AD) is a brain disorder that develops slowly and mainly affects memory, thinking, language, and daily activities. It is one of the most common causes of dementia and creates many difficulties for patients as well as their families.…

BRIDGE: Predicting Human Task Completion Time From Model Performance

arXiv:2602.07267v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Evaluating the real-world capabilities of AI systems requires grounding benchmark performance in human-interpretable measures of task difficulty. Existing approaches that rely on direct human task completion time annotations are costly, noisy, and difficult to scale across benchmarks. In this work,…

Beyond Adam: SOAP and Muon for Faster, Label-Efficient Training of Machine Learning Interatomic Potentials

arXiv:2607.02499v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Machine learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs) have become a hallmark of AI for scientific simulation. While efforts on new architectures and datasets have led to increasingly accurate and general models, the choice of optimizer for training has largely remained unexplored, defaulting…

Achieving operational excellence with AI

Frameworks like Lean Six Sigma and business process management (BPM) first gained traction because they promised clarity in the chaos—a structured way to bring order to messy, sprawling operations. Lean Six Sigma emphasized statistical rigor and quality control; BPM created end-to-end maps of how work…

Teaching AI to run with the turbines

Artificial intelligence may have captured the public imagination through chatbots and image generators, but some of its most consequential use cases are unfolding far from consumer-facing tools. In industries where physical infrastructure, operational continuity, and safety are paramount, AI is becoming a core operating layer.…

Evaluating Implicit Biases in LLM Reasoning through Logic Grid Puzzles

arXiv:2511.06160v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: While recent safety guardrails effectively suppress overtly biased outputs, subtler forms of social bias emerge during complex logical reasoning tasks that evade current evaluation benchmarks. To fill this gap, we introduce a new evaluation framework, PRIME (Puzzle Reasoning for Implicit…

When Less is More: 8-bit Quantization Improves Continual Learning in Large Language Models

arXiv:2512.18934v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Catastrophic forgetting poses a fundamental challenge in continual learning, particularly when models are quantized for deployment efficiency. We systematically investigate the interplay between quantization precision (FP16, INT8, INT4) and replay buffer strategies in large language models, revealing unexpected dynamics. While…

Flow-Through Tensors: A Unified Computational Graph Architecture for Multi-Layer Transportation Network Optimization

arXiv:2507.02961v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Modern transportation network modeling increasingly involves the integration of diverse methodologies including sensor-based forecasting, reinforcement learning, classical flow optimization, and demand modeling that have traditionally been developed in isolation. This paper introduces Flow Through Tensors (FTT), a unified computational graph…
