Research

• Computing Equilibrium beyond Unilateral Deviation — Mingyang Liu, Gabriele Farina, Asuman Ozdaglar. Most familiar equilibrium concepts, such as Nash and correlated equilibrium, guarantee only that no single player can improve their utility by deviating unilaterally.
• Exploration Hacking: Can LLMs Learn to Resist RL Training? — Eyon Jang, Damon Falck, Joschka Braun. Reinforcement learning (RL) has become essential to the post-training of large language models (LLMs) for reasoning, agentic capabilities and alignment.
• Synthetic Computers at Scale for Long-Horizon Productivity Simulation — Tao Ge, Baolin Peng, Hao Cheng. Realistic long-horizon productivity work is strongly conditioned on user-specific computer environments, where much of the work context is stored and organized through directory structures and content...
• An adaptive wavelet-based PINN for problems with localized high-magnitude source — Himanshu Pandey, Ratikanta Behera. In recent years, physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) have gained significant attention for solving differential equations, although they suffer from two fundamental limitations, namely, spectral...
• Defending Quantum Classifiers against Adversarial Perturbations through Quantum — Emma Andrews, Sahan Sanjaya, Prabhat Mishra. Machine learning models can learn from data samples to carry out various tasks efficiently.

• How to Implement a Real-Time Sentiment Analysis Pipeline with TensorFlow 2.13 This tutorial guides readers through building a real-time sentiment analysis system using TensorFlow 2.13, focusing on pipeline architecture and deployment. However, the content leans heavily on a personal anecdote rather than providing scalable industry solutions.
• How to Port a Model Between TensorFlow and PyTorch with 2026 Benchmarks The tutorial offers technical insights into converting models between TensorFlow and PyTorch, including benchmark comparisons for performance analysis. Despite its practical value for developers, it lacks novel contributions to the field of framework interoperability.
