Which Signal Did the Synthesis Import? Information, Re-presentation and Selection in Synthetic Pretraining, Why 'the Verifier Is Doing the Work' Holds Only Where Correctness Is the Target, and the Controls That Would Assign the Credit

(c) 2026 Pranay Mahendrakar. Licensed under CC BY 4.0. The expectation that language models will keep improving after the supply of human text runs out rests on a claim about synthetic data: that a model, or a family of models, can produce training text worth more than the text it was trained on. A competing reading ho...

Quantifying pollen and spore morphology using a language model.

In a typical systematic paper, specimen morphology is described with natural language, and taxonomic specialists use glossaries of technical terminology to establish and communicate taxon concepts, using morphology to delimit species. Textual descriptions of specimen morphology are therefore foundational to biological...

Sharper Frames, Worse Rooms: Viewpoint Coverage Dominates Image Quality in Feed-Forward 3D Reconstruction

Grounded spatial reasoning about indoor scenes rests on a geometric reconstruction that the multimodal system does not itself produce. Feed-forward multi-view reconstruction models operate under a fixed view budget, making frame selection a critical upstream decision. We show that under this setting the conventional pr...

Validity and practicality of a Pancaniti ethnoscience-based UA-EVAA digital science module

Science education requires learning resources that connect scientific knowledge with contextual problem solving, environmental responsibility, and learners’ cultural experiences. This study aimed to determine the validity and practicality of the Pancaniti ethnoscience-based UA-EVAA (Understanding, Awareness, Evidence-B...

Decision Support for Tourism Risk and Heritage Management: A Case Study of Ha Long Bay

Tourism firms at heritage destinations must manage operational risks and protect the resources on which their businesses depend. Online reviews could inform managerial follow-up, but sparse mentions and high ratings may limit their value. This study examines these limits through a transparent business analytics pipelin...

Performance evaluation and interpretability of a Qwen LangGraph agent for AI written and AI rewritten text detection

The widespread adoption of large language models has increased the need to distinguish human-authored text from AI-generated content, including cases in which generated text is subsequently rewritten or paraphrased. In practice, many detectors output only a single AI-likelihood score or percentage, offering limited tra...

Small viruses reveal bidirectional evolution between HK97-fold viruses and encapsulins via procapsids

Mining environmental metagenomics data, the authors show that small HK97-fold-encoding viral genomes bridge Duplodnaviria viral capsids and cellular protein shells, revealing bidirectional evolution in which viral procapsids enable the transitions between viral and metabolic compartments.

Research Data-Sharing Practices Through the Lens of Data Availability Statements

Rising DAS adoption was accompanied by a more heterogeneous pooled composition of sharing mechanisms rather than a single pathway towards open data, a shift driven largely by the staggered entry of journals.

Selective Circuit Preservation During Compression of Large Language Models for Edge Deployment

This dissertation asks whether compression can be made capability-aware by borrowing the unit of analysis from mechanistic interpretability, and presents the problem formulation, the gap identified in a targeted review of the compression and interpretability literatures, and the design of a first experiment measuring c...

The Decomposition Dilemma: When Do Multi-Agent LLM Workflows Help Grounded Knowledge Generation?

A preliminary task-level comparison of a Direct Generation Workflow and a Decomposed Generation Workflow under matched inputs and evaluation conditions provides preliminary evidence that the value of multi-agent decomposition is task-dependent.

Beyond Topic Matching: Goal-Conditioned Evaluation of Research Contributions in ETD Collections

The loss of fidelity shows that intermediate teacher evaluations provide useful supervision for approximating the evaluative function, and whether reducing the influence of intermediate teacher evaluations improves or impairs approximation is tested by comparing plain binary cross-entropy with weighting, masking, and h...

From Digital Library Records to Trust-Grounded Virtual Experts for Knowledge Retention

Long-lived technical organizations depend on senior subject matter experts whose knowledge is only partially preserved in reports, publications, and archival metadata. Digital libraries preserve those records, but they rarely provide centralized, expert-scoped, question-answering access to the knowledge of people who l...

Q&A: How AI came to model the “messy” human mind

Assistant Professor Benjamin Lindquist studies how engineers deliberately injected randomness into early AI, giving rise to deep-learning models that sometimes hallucinate.
