A Gaussian process coarse-grained potential for Na-montmorillonite
Hydraulic transport in compacted bentonite is diffusion-controlled and governed by the hydration and microstructure of sodium montmorillonite (Na-MMT). Experiments cannot resolve how platelet interactions govern pore structure, transport and stiffness, while existing coarse-grained models smooth hydration oscillations or require manual corrections. We develop a tabulated potential combining Morse interactions between platelet centre and edge sites with a Gaussian process regression correction tr

Dynamic Generalized Gromov-Wasserstein Optimal Transport
Gromov--Wasserstein optimal transport (GW-OT) extends classical optimal transport by introducing structure-aware transport cost. This is particularly relevant for spatial transcriptomics, where dynamical reconstruction should preserve tissue structure in addition to matching expression patterns. While static formulations have been widely used for such structure-aware alignment, a general dynamic formulation for reconstructing continuous trajectories is still missing. We introduce Travelling Pair

Why the tool is not the solution to healthcare access
I have spent 26 years in healthcare. I have watched apps launch, algorithms deploy, platforms get funded, and payment models get reinvented, all in the name of fixing American healthcare. Yet, millions of Americans still cannot get a timely doctor’s appointment. Emergency rooms remain the default care setting for people with nowhere else to turn. Provider shortages are accelerating. The system is breaking under the weight of its own complexity. The problem is that we have confused the t

Embedding Models Measure in Peculiar Ways
Embedding spaces define notions of semantic similarity and distance. We study whether those embeddings reflect physical measurements of mass, distance, time and volume, which admit a unique, objective notion of semantic equivalence and distance. We find that physical measurement is only weakly modeled in the embedding space, and that instead quite peculiar measurement patterns can be observed. Further analysis indicates that embedding representations of physical measurements are strongly influen

Workspace Models: Lightweight Robotic Memory via Saliency-Driven Supervision
Complex robotic manipulation tasks frequently require a long-term memory of past events and actions. As conditioning on full histories renders policies prone to spurious correlations and degrades performance, many approaches to policy memory involve compressing historical information through expensive VLM queries in-the-loop to process only task-salient information. In this paper, we propose an alternative approach in which computationally intensive VLM queries are made during train-time to lear

T2 estimation from MOLLI acquisitions
Cardiac T1 and T2 quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a technique that provides characterization of a multitude of myocardial pathologies. However, each parameter requires its own specialized acquisition sequence, which may be time-consuming. In this work, we demonstrate that MOLLI, an acquisition sequence commonly used to perform T1 mapping, is also sensitive to T2, and can also be used for myocardial T2 mapping. Although MOLLI is not designed for T2 mapping, its signal evolution i
