A few of the ideas, topics, and commonplaces that have been gaining steam on arXiv during the last few months (yes, I do a lot of filtering to keep away most of the genAI stuff; explainer).
1. Triangle counting: New tools for a classic task.
Some recent articles:
- Generating Dynamic Graph Algorithms for Multiple Backends for a Graph DSL
- Subgraph Counting under Edge Local Differential Privacy Based on Noisy Adjacency Matrix
- Evaluating Efficiency and Novelty of LLM-Generated Code for Graph Analysis
- Practical and Accurate Local Edge Differentially Private Graph Algorithms
- Agent-Based Triangle Counting: Unlocking Truss Decomposition, Triangle Centrality, and Local Clustering Coefficient
2. Split conformal prediction: I don't have yet a usable view on the practicality of conformal prediction (see e.g. this post earlier this year by Jessica Hullman) but it's an interesting topic even or perhaps because of that.
Some recent articles:
- Conformalized Regression for Continuous Bounded Outcomes
- Distribution-Free Uncertainty-Aware Virtual Sensing via Conformalized Neural Operators
- Data-driven Kinematic Modeling in Soft Robots: System Identification and Uncertainty Quantification
- SConU: Selective Conformal Uncertainty in Large Language Models
- Sample then Identify: A General Framework for Risk Control and Assessment in Multimodal Large Language Models
3. Seyfert galaxy: A nice set of papers touching directly or indirectly on one of the most interesting types of galaxies. YMMV - for me few things work as well as astrophysics to get my head for a short time away from some of the petty and ugly of things down here.
Some recent articles:
- The response of warm absorbers to the variations in the ionizing continuum in the active galaxy NGC 4051
- Dark matter explanations for the neutrino emission from the Seyfert galaxy NGC 1068
- Gamma-ray emission from the Seyfert galaxy NGC 4151: Multi-messenger implications for ultra-fast outflows
- An updated list of target sources for IceCube neutrino cluster alerts
- Observing the launch of an Eddington wind in the luminous Seyfert galaxy PG1211+143
