Quantum Limits of Passive Optical Surface Metrology and Defect Detection
We develop a quantum statistical framework for passive optical surface metrology. Modelling a surface as an incoherent ensemble of point emitters imaged through a diffraction-limited system, we emp...

Multiple change-point detection on the circle via isolation using permutation testing
In this paper we propose a new method for multiple change-point detection for piecewise-constant circular signals, a setting that, despite its importance in many scientific domains, remains compara...

A Grammar of Machine Learning Workflows
Data leakage affected 294 published papers across 17 scientific fields (Kapoor & Narayanan, 2023). The dominant response has been documentation: checklists, linters, best-practice guides. Documenta...

Zero crossings of the differential scalar polarizability of Ba$^+$ clock transition
The differential scalar polarizability $Δα_0(ω)$ of the Ba$^+$ S$_{1/2}$-to-D$_{5/2}$ clock transition has a zero crossing near 481nm, which is measured to be 623.603\,13(17)\,THz. From this measur...

Pairwise Negative Correlation for Uniform Spanning Subgraphs of the Complete Graph
We investigate the pairwise negative correlation (p-NC) property for uniform probability measures on several families of spanning subgraphs of the complete graph $K_n$. Motivated by conjectured neg...

Hybrid Photonic Quantum Reservoir Computing for High-Dimensional Financial Surface Prediction
We propose a hybrid photonic quantum reservoir computing (QRC) framework for swaption surface prediction. The pipeline compresses 224-dimensional surfaces to a 20-dimensional latent space via a spa...

Thermodynamic Non-Uniformities Behind Incident and Reflected Shocks in a Single-Diaphragm Shock Tube
Shock tubes provide well-controlled high-temperature and high-pressure conditions for chemical kinetics studies, yet the region behind the reflected shock is seldom perfectly homogeneous. Axial and...

RandMark: On Random Watermarking of Visual Foundation Models
Being trained on large and diverse datasets, visual foundation models (VFMs) can be fine-tuned to achieve remarkable performance and efficiency in various downstream computer vision tasks. The high...

Repurposing Backdoors for Good: Ephemeral Intrinsic Proofs for Verifiable Aggregation in Cross-silo Federated Learning
While Secure Aggregation (SA) protects update confidentiality in Cross-silo Federated Learning, it fails to guarantee aggregation integrity, allowing malicious servers to silently omit or tamper wi...

Investigations of Heterogeneity in Diagnostic Test Accuracy Meta-Analysis: A Methodological Review
Background: Subgroup analyses and meta-regression are commonly used to investigate heterogeneity in diagnostic test accuracy (DTA) meta-analyses (MA), but adherence to methodological guidance is un...

Conformal prediction for high-dimensional functional time series: Applications to subnational mortality
In statistics, forecast uncertainty is often quantified using a specified statistical model, though such approaches may be vulnerable to model misspecification, selection bias, and limited finite-s...

Planning for isolation? The role of urban form and function in shaping mobility in Brasília
Brasília offers a rare test of how urban form shapes experienced segregation. Built almost at once around modernist neighbourhood units, then expanded through planned satellites and informal periph...

Strong Gaussian approximation for U-statistics in high dimensions and beyond
We establish a strong Gaussian approximation for high-dimensional non-degenerate U-statistics with diverging dimension. Under mild assumptions, we construct, on a sufficiently rich probability spac...
