“The article begins with a personal introduction, mentioning the author's long-term use of a Mac and the recent upgrade to a new MacBook Pro (M5).”
“High current density up to 800 A/cm$^2$, 5 orders of on/off ratio, and low differential on-resistance of 2.6 m$Ω\cdot$cm$^2$ at the highest current density is achieved.”
“The learned model consistently reduces the discrepancy between quantum and classical solutions beyond what is achieved by ZNE alone.”
“The paper proposes I-PERI, a novel federated algorithm that first recovers the CPDAG of the union of client graphs and then orients additional edges by exploiting structural differences induced by interventions across clients.”
“The method starts by identifying texts of strong semantic similarity as it searches for dense clusters in LLM embedding space.”
“The method demonstrated in this work opens up a new way to achieve fast, universal, and experiment-calibrated XANES prediction.”
“The model was able to successfully identify the uncertain regions in the simulated data and match the magnitude of the uncertainty. In real-case scenarios, the optimised model was not overconfident nor underconfident when estimating from test data: for example, for a 95% prediction interval, 95% of the true observations were inside the prediction interval.”
“The extreme constraints nerd-sniped me and forced interesting trade-offs: trigram hashing (typo-tolerant, loses word order), 16-bit integer math, and some careful massaging of the training data meant I could keep the examples 'interesting'.”
