An Entropic Factor Model for Robust Portfolio Replication
To address the instability and over-leveraging of traditional variance-minimizing models in portfolio replication, this paper proposes a two-stage information-theoretic Entropic Factor Model (EFM). It employs Fermi-Dirac entropy directly on constraint sets and replaces statistical assumptions with data-driven empirical bounds, enhancing robustness, especially under market shocks.

CoMAP: Co-Evolving World Models and Agent Policies for LLM Agents
Language agents often lack predictive capabilities in interactive environments. Existing textual world models are fixed after training, failing to adapt to distribution shifts from evolving policies. CoMAP co-evolves world models and agent policies via closed-loop interaction, dynamically updating models with self-distillation, improving long-horizon tasks, offering new optimization without external rewards.

Multimodal Multi-turn Safety Alignment: From Agentic Interaction to Strategic Alignment
Existing alignment methods primarily target malicious visual QA pairs and fail to address gradual adversarial attacks in multi-turn dialogues. This study introduces the MINT-Safe dataset and TAD-Align framework, which dynamically identify and up-weight unsafe turns via a turn-aware dual-objective reward function, significantly reducing attack success rates while improving safety and helpfulness.

Bayesian Confidence Recalibration and Criticality in Research Equilibrium: Temporal Support
This research investigates whether reconstructing confidence sets after learning affects robust portfolio rules. In a Gaussian model, fresh reconstruction can replace natural-coordinate displacement while inherited transport preserves it, affecting optimized curvature and equilibrium criticality. The study formalizes protocol regret as a Bregman divergence and provides sharp bounds via completion-time information, offering new insights into model versioning and research suppl

Matrix-CODI Reasoning Is Rank-Indifferent: Flat Rank-k Ablation Curves
Ablation studies on matrix-valued chain-of-thought models reveal that rank truncation of latent matrices has negligible effect on performance across ProsQA, challenging the hypothesis that parallel reasoning paths are encoded in matrix rank.

Predicting Ejection Fraction from Multi-View Echocardiography with Scarce Labels
This study introduces the first publicly available dataset for predicting left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) from parasternal long-axis (PLAX) echocardiography, overcoming label scarcity via an innovative data generation strategy, and demonstrates the feasibility of PLAX-based EF estimation and the benefit of multi-view fusion.

EF1-Constrained Nash Social Welfare with Identical Additive Valuations
This study systematically analyzes the relationship between EF1 allocations and Nash social welfare under identical additive valuations. Key findings show that any EF1 allocation is NSW-optimal under uniform valuations, and under an ε-small-item condition, EF1 allocations achieve an approximation ratio of 1-O(ε^2). The proposed PriorityNet deep reinforcement learning framework ensures prefix-wise EF1 with high performance.
