  text: "Causal reasoning and discovery, two fundamental tasks of causal analysis,\r\noften
    face challenges in applications due to the complexity, noisiness, and highdimensionality
    of real-world data. Despite recent progress in identifying latent\r\ncausal structures
    using causal representation learning (CRL), what makes learned\r\nrepresentations
    useful for causal downstream tasks and how to evaluate them are\r\nstill not well
    understood. In this paper, we reinterpret CRL using a measurement\r\nmodel framework,
    where the learned representations are viewed as proxy measurements of the latent
    causal variables. Our approach clarifies the conditions under\r\nwhich learned
    representations support downstream causal reasoning and provides\r\na principled
    basis for quantitatively assessing the quality of representations using\r\na new
    Test-based Measurement EXclusivity (T-MEX) score. We validate T-MEX\r\nacross
    diverse causal inference scenarios, including numerical simulations and\r\nreal-world
    ecological video analysis, demonstrating that the proposed framework\r\nand corresponding
    score effectively assess the identification of learned representations and their
    usefulness for causal downstream tasks. Reproducible code can\r\nbe found at https://github.com/shimenghuang/a-measurement-perspective-of-crl."

  text: 'Deep learning systems deployed in real-world applications often encounter
    data that is different from their in-distribution (ID). A reliable model should
    ideally abstain from making decisions in this out-of-distribution (OOD) setting.
    Existing state-of-the-art methods primarily focus on feature distances, such as
    k-th nearest neighbors and distances to decision boundaries, either overlooking
    or ineffectively using in-distribution statistics. In this work, we propose a
    novel angle-based metric for OOD detection that is computed relative to the in-distribution
    structure. We demonstrate that the angles between feature representations and
    decision boundaries, viewed from the mean of in-distribution features, serve as
    an effective discriminative factor between ID and OOD data. We evaluate our method
    on nine ImageNet-pretrained models. Our approach achieves the lowest FPR in 5
    out of 9 ImageNet models, obtains the best average FPR overall, and consistently
    ranking among the top 3 across all evaluated models. Furthermore, we highlight
    the benefits of contrastive representations by showing strong performance with
    ResNet SCL and CLIP architectures. Finally, we demonstrate that the scale-invariant
    nature of our score enables an ensemble strategy via simple score summation. '

  text: Language and vision-language models have shown impressive performance across
    a wide range of tasks, but their internal mechanisms remain only partly understood.
    In this work, we study how individual attention heads in text-generative models
    specialize in specific semantic or visual attributes. Building on an established
    interpretability method, we reinterpret the practice of probing intermediate activations
    with the final decoding layer through the lens of signal processing. This lets
    us analyze multiple samples in a principled way and rank attention heads based
    on their relevance to target concepts. Our results show consistent patterns of
    specialization at the head level across both unimodal and multimodal transformers.
    Remarkably, we find that editing as few as 1% of the heads, selected using our
    method, can reliably suppress or enhance targeted concepts in the model output.
    We validate our approach on language tasks such as question answering and toxicity
    mitigation, as well as vision-language tasks including image classification and
    captioning. Our findings highlight an interpretable and controllable structure
    within attention layers, offering simple tools for understanding and editing large-scale
    generative models.

  text: Neural models learn representations of high-dimensional data on low-dimensional
    manifolds. Multiple factors, including stochasticities in the training process,
    model architectures, and additional inductive biases, may induce different representations,
    even when learning the same task on the same data. However, it has recently been
    shown that when a latent structure is shared between distinct latent spaces, relative
    distances between representations can be preserved, up to distortions. Building
    on this idea, we demonstrate that exploiting the differential-geometric structure
    of latent spaces of neural models, it is possible to capture precisely the transformations
    between representational spaces trained on similar data distributions. Specifically,
    we assume that distinct neural models parametrize approximately the same underlying
    manifold, and introduce a representation based on the pullback metric that captures
    the intrinsic structure of the latent space, while scaling efficiently to large
    models. We validate experimentally our method on model stitching and retrieval
    tasks, covering autoencoders and vision foundation discriminative models, across
    diverse architectures, datasets, pretraining schemes and modalities. Code is available
    at the following link.

  text: In many scientific experiments, the data annotating cost constraints the pace
    for testing novel hypotheses. Yet, modern machine learning pipelines offer a promising
    solution—provided their predictions yield correct conclusions. We focus on Prediction-Powered
    Causal Inferences (PPCI), i.e., estimating the treatment effect in an unlabeled
    target experiment, relying on training data with the same outcome annotated but
    potentially different treatment or effect modifiers. We first show that conditional
    calibration guarantees valid PPCI at population level. Then, we introduce a sufficient
    representation constraint transferring validity across experiments, which we propose
    to enforce in practice in Deconfounded Empirical Risk Minimization, our new model-agnostic
    training objective. We validate our method on synthetic and real-world scientific
    data, solving impossible problem instances for Empirical Risk Minimization even
    with standard invariance constraints. In particular, for the first time, we achieve
    valid causal inference on a scientific experiment with complex recording and no
    human annotations, fine-tuning a foundational model on our similar annotated experiment.

  text: 'Hypertrace logic is a sorted first-order logic with separate sorts for time
    and execution traces. Its formulas specify hyperproperties, which are properties
    relating multiple traces. In this work, we extend hypertrace logic by introducing
    trace quantifiers that range over the set of all possible traces. In this extended
    logic, formulas can quantify over two kinds of trace variables: constrained trace
    variables, which range over a fixed set of traces defined by the model, and unconstrained
    trace variables, which can be assigned to any trace. In comparison, hyperlogics
    such as HyperLTL have only constrained trace quantifiers. We use hypertrace logic
    to study how different quantifier patterns affect the decidability of the satisfiability
    problem. We prove that hypertrace logic without constrained trace quantifiers
    is equivalent to monadic second-order logic of one successor (S1S), and therefore
    satisfiable, and that the trace-prefixed fragment (all trace quantifiers precede
    all time quantifiers) is equivalent to HyperQPTL. Moreover, we show that all hypertrace
    formulas where the only alternation between constrained trace quantifiers is from
    an existential to a universal quantifier are equisatisfiable to formulas without
    constraints on their trace variables and, therefore, decidable as well. Our framework
    allows us to study also time-prefixed hyperlogics, for which we provide new decidability
    and undecidability results.'

  text: Fairness in AI is traditionally studied as a static property evaluated once,
    over a fixed dataset. However, real-world AI systems operate sequentially, with
    outcomes and environments evolving over time. This paper proposes a framework
    for analysing fairness as a runtime property. Using a minimal yet expressive model
    based on sequences of coin tosses with possibly evolving biases, we study the
    problems of monitoring and enforcing fairness expressed in either toss outcomes
    or coin biases. Since there is no one-size-fits-all solution for either problem,
    we provide a summary of monitoring and enforcement strategies, parametrised by
    environment dynamics, prediction horizon, and confidence thresholds. For both
    problems, we present general results under simple or minimal assumptions. We survey
    existing solutions for the monitoring problem for Markovian and additive dynamics,
    and existing solutions for the enforcement problem in static settings with known
    dynamics.

  text: Neural certificates have emerged as a powerful tool in cyber-physical systems
    control, providing witnesses of correctness. These certificates, such as barrier
    functions, often learned alongside control policies, once verified, serve as mathematical
    proofs of system safety. However, traditional formal verification of their defining
    conditions typically faces scalability challenges due to exhaustive state-space
    exploration. To address this challenge, we propose a lightweight runtime monitoring
    framework that integrates real-time verification and does not require access to
    the underlying control policy. Our monitor observes the system during deployment
    and performs on-the-fly verification of the certificate over a lookahead region
    to ensure safety within a finite prediction horizon. We instantiate this framework
    for ReLU-based control barrier functions and demonstrate its practical effectiveness
    in a case study. Our approach enables timely detection of safety violations and
    incorrect certificates with minimal overhead, providing an effective but lightweight
    alternative to the static verification of the certificates.

  text: Formal verification provides assurances that a probabilistic system satisfies
    its specification—conditioned on the system model being aligned with reality.
    We propose alignment monitoring to watch that this assumption is justified. We
    consider a probabilistic model well aligned if it accurately predicts the behaviour
    of an uncertain system in advance. An alignment score measures this by quantifying
    the similarity between the model’s predicted and the system’s (unknown) actual
    distributions. An alignment monitor observes the system at runtime; at each point
    in time it uses the current state and the model to predict the next state. After
    the next state is observed, the monitor updates the verdict, which is a high-probability
    interval estimate for the true alignment score. We utilize tools from sequential
    forecasting to construct our alignment monitors. Besides a monitor for measuring
    the expected alignment score, we introduce a differential alignment monitor, designed
    for comparing two models, and a weighted alignment monitor, which permits task-specific
    alignment monitoring. We evaluate our monitors experimentally on the PRISM benchmark
    suite. They are fast, memory-efficient, and detect misalignment early.

  text: We propose a monitoring approach for hyperproperties where the system’s observations
    range over infinite domains. The specifications are given as formulas of symbolic
    hypernode logic, an extension of earlier versions of hypernode logic that supports
    events with data. We demonstrate how to translate terms of symbolic hypernode
    logic into multi-tape symbolic transducers and we present a monitoring algorithm
    for universally quantified formulas that is based on this translation. We evaluate
    our approach against the previous approach for monitoring hypernode logic, and
    we also compare it to other monitors for hyperproperties.

  text: The relation between the masses of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) and their
    host galaxies encodes information on their mode of growth, especially at the earliest
    epochs. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has opened such investigations by
    detecting the host galaxies of active galactic nuclei (AGN) and more luminous
    quasars within the first billion years of the Universe (z ≳ 6). Here, we evaluate
    the relation between the mass of SMBHs and the total stellar mass of their host
    galaxies using a sample of nine quasars at 6.18 ≤ z ≤ 6.4 from the Subaru High-z
    Exploration of Low-luminosity Quasars survey with NIRCam and NIRSpec observations.
    We find that the observed location of these quasars in the SMBH–galaxy mass plane
    (logMBH/M 8–9; logM*/M 9.5–11) is consistent with a nonevolving intrinsic mass
    relation with dispersion (0.80 +0.23 -0.28 dex) higher than the local value (∼0.3–0.4
    dex) of their more massive descendants. Our analysis is based on a forward model
    of systematics and includes a consideration of the impact of selection effects
    and measurement uncertainties with an assumption on the slope of the mass relation.
    While degeneracies between parameters persist, the best-fit solution has a reasonable
    AGN fraction (2.3%) of galaxies at z ∼ 6 with an actively growing UV-unobscured
    black hole. In particular, models with a substantially higher normalisation in
    MBH would require an unrealistically low intrinsic dispersion (∼0.22 dex). Consequently,
    our results predict a large population of AGN at lower black hole masses, as are
    now just starting to be discovered in focused efforts with JWST.

  text: The multimessenger combination of gravitational waves (GWs) from merging massive
    black hole binaries (MBHBs) and the electromagnetic (EM) counterpart from the
    surrounding circumbinary disc (CBD) will open avenues to new scientific pursuits.
    In order to realize this science, we need to correctly localize the host galaxy
    of the merging MBHB. Multiwavelength, time-dependent EM signatures can greatly
    facilitate the identification of the unique EM counterpart among many sources
    in LISA’s localization volume. To this end, we studied merging unequal-mass MBHBs
    embedded in a CBD using high-resolution 2D simulations, with a $\Gamma$-law equation of
    state, incorporating viscous heating, shock heating, and radiative cooling. We
    simulate each binary starting from before it decouples from the CBD until just
    after the merger. We compute EM signatures and identify distinct features before,
    during, and after the merger. We corroborate previous findings of a several orders
    of magnitude drop in the thermal X-ray luminosity near the time of merger, but
    with delayed timing compared to an equal-mass system. The source remains X-ray
    dark for hours post-merger. Our main results are a potential new signature of
    a sharp spike in the thermal X-ray emission just before the tell-tale steep drop
    occurs. This feature may further help to identify EM counterparts of LISA’s unequal
    MBHBs before merger without the need for extensive pre-merger monitoring. Additionally,
    we find a role-reversal in which the primary out-accretes the secondary during
    late inspiral, which may diminish signatures originating from Doppler modulation.

  text: We present a study of the late-time interaction between supermassive black
    hole binaries and retrograde circumbinary disks during the period of gravitational
    wave-driven inspiral. While mergers in prograde disks have received extensive
    study, retrograde disks offer distinct dynamics that could promote mergers and
    produce unique observational signatures. Through 2D numerical hydrodynamical simulations,
    we explore the process of binary-disk decoupling, where the binary’s orbital decay
    rate is faster than the disk’s viscous response rate. We find the point of decoupling
    to be comparable in prograde and retrograde disks, suggesting that any associated
    electromagnetic (EM) signatures will be produced at comparable times preceding
    the merger. However, we find smaller central cavities for retrograde disks, likely
    leading to higher-frequency EM emissions and shorter postmerger rebrightening
    timescales compared to their prograde counterparts. Retrograde disks form intrabinary
    bridges, which are prone to instabilities when the viscosity is low. These instabilities
    manifest as quasiperiodic flares in the accretion rate, which may produce distinctive
    EM signatures for retrograde disks.

  text: The advent of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has opened new horizons
    in the study of quasar host galaxies during the reionization epoch (z > 6). Building
    upon our previous initial measurements of stellar light from two quasar host galaxies
    at these redshifts, we now report the detection of the stellar light from the
    full Cycle 1 sample of 12 distant moderate-luminosity quasar (M1450 > −24 mag)
    host galaxies at z > 6 from the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program. Using
    JWST/NIRCam observations at 1.5 and 3.6 μm combined with 2D image decomposition
    analysis, we successfully detect the host galaxies in 11 of the 12 targets, underscoring
    the high detection rates achievable with moderate-luminosity quasars. Based on
    two-band photometry and spectral energy distribution fitting, we find that our
    host galaxies are massive, with log M*/M⊙ = 9.5–11.0. The effective radii range
    from 0.6 to 3.2 kpc, comparable to the sizes of inactive galaxies with similar
    masses at z ∼ 6 as measured with imaging from COSMOS-Web. Intriguingly, the two
    quasar hosts with post-starburst features, which reside at the high-mass end of
    our sample and exhibit relatively compact morphologies, have similar size and
    stellar mass surface densities to quiescent galaxies at z ∼ 4–5. These findings
    suggest that the so-called galaxy compaction scenario is already in place at the
    reionization epoch, in which gas inflows during starburst phases drive centrally
    concentrated star formation followed by rapid quenching, bridging the structural
    transition of massive galaxies from relatively extended star-forming disks to
    compact quiescent systems.

  text: "The thermal Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect (tSZ) is a sensitive probe of cosmology,
    as it traces the abundance of galaxy clusters and groups in the late-time Universe.
    Upcoming cosmic microwave background experiments such as the Simons Observatory
    (SO) and CMB-S4 will provide low-noise and high-resolution component-separated
    tSZ maps covering a large sky fraction. The tSZ signal is highly non-Gaussian;
    therefore, higher-order statistics are needed to optimally extract information
    from these maps. In this work, we study the cosmological constraining power of
    several tSZ statistics—Minkowski functionals (MFs), peaks, minima, and moments—that
    have yielded promising results in capturing non-Gaussian information from other
    cosmological data. Using a large suite of halo-model-based tSZ simulations with
    varying Ω\U0001D450 and \U0001D70E8 (154 cosmologies and over 800,000 maps, each
    10.5×10.5  deg2), we show that by combining these observables, we can achieve
    \ ≈29 × tighter constraints compared to using the tSZ power spectrum alone in
    an idealized noiseless case, with the MFs dominating the constraints. We show
    that much of the MF constraining power arises from halos below the detection threshold
    of cluster surveys, suggesting promising synergies with cluster-count analyses.
    Finally, we demonstrate that these statistics have the potential to deliver tight
    constraints even in the presence of noise. For example, using post-component-separation
    tSZ noise expected for SO, we obtain  ≈1.6 × and  ≈1.8 × tighter constraints than
    the power spectrum with MFs and all statistics combined, respectively. We show
    that the constraints from MFs approach the noiseless case for white-noise levels
    ≲1  \U0001D707⁢K−arcmin."

  text: Subparsec supermassive black hole (SMBH) binaries are expected to be common
    in active galactic nuclei as a result of the hierarchical buildup of galaxies
    via mergers. While direct evidence for these compact binaries is lacking, a few
    hundred candidates have been identified, most based on the apparent periodicities
    of their optical light curves. Since these signatures can be mimicked by active
    galactic nuclei red noise, additional evidence is needed to confirm their binary
    nature. Recurring self-lensing flares, occurring whenever the two BHs are aligned
    with the line of sight within their Einstein radii, have been suggested as additional
    binary signatures. Furthermore, in many cases, lensing flares are also predicted
    to contain a “dip,” whenever the lensed SMBH’s shadow is comparable in angular
    size to the binary’s Einstein radius. This feature would unambiguously confirm
    binaries and additionally identify SMBH shadows that are spatially unresolvable
    by high-resolution Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI). Here we estimate
    the number of quasars for which these dips may be detectable by Legacy Survey
    of Space and Time (LSST) by extrapolating the quasar luminosity function to faint
    magnitudes and assuming that SMBH binaries are randomly oriented and have mass
    ratios following those in the Illustris simulations. Under plausible assumptions
    about quasar lifetimes, binary fractions, and Eddington ratios, we expect tens
    of thousands of detectable flares, of which several dozen contain measurable dips.

  text: "The early growth of black holes (BHs) in atomic-cooling haloes is likely
    influenced by feedback on the surrounding gas. While the effects of radiative
    feedback are well-documented, mechanical feedback, particularly from active galactic
    nucleus (AGN) jets, has been comparatively less explored. Building on our previous
    work that examined the growth of a 100 M BH in a constant density environment
    regulated by AGN jets, we expand the initial BH mass range from 1 to 104 M and
    adopt a more realistic density profile for atomic-cooling haloes. We reaffirm
    the validity of our analytic models for jet cocoon propagation and feedback regulation.
    We identify several critical radii – namely, the terminal radius of jet cocoon
    propagation, the isotropization radius of the jet cocoon, and the core radius
    of the atomic-cooling halo – that are crucial in determining BH growth given specific
    gas properties and jet feedback parameters. In a significant portion of the parameter
    space, our findings show that jet feedback substantially disrupts the halo’s core
    during the initial feedback episode, preventing BH growth beyond 104 M.\r\nConversely,
    conditions characterized by low jet velocities and high gas densities enable sustained
    BH growth over extended periods. We provide a prediction for the BH mass growth
    as a function of time and feedback parameters. We found that, to form a supermassive
    BH (> 106 M) within 1 Gyr entirely by accreting gas from an atomic-cooling halo,
    the jet energy feedback\r\nefficiency must be  10−4M˙ BHc2 even if the seed BH
    mass is 104 M."

  text: The brightest steady sources of radiation in the universe, active galactic
    nuclei (AGNs), are powered by gas accretion on to a central supermassive black
    hole (SMBH). The large sizes and accretion rates implicated in AGN accretion discs
    are expected to lead to gravitational instability and fragmentation, effectively
    cutting off mass inflow to the SMBH. Radiative feedback from disc-embedded stars
    has been invoked to yield marginally stable, steady-state solutions in the outer
    discs. Here, we examine the consequences of this star formation with a semi-analytical
    model in which stellar-mass black hole (sBH) remnants in the disc provide an additional
    source of stabilizing radiative feedback. Assuming star formation seeds the embedded
    sBH population, we model the time-evolving feedback from both stars and the growing
    population of accreting sBHs. We find that in the outer disc, the luminosity of
    the sBHs quickly dominates that of their parent stars. However, because sBHs consume
    less gas than stars to stabilize the disc, the presence of the sBHs enhances the
    mass flux to the inner disc. As a result, star formation persists over the lifetime
    of the AGN, damped in the outer disc, but amplified in a narrow ring in the inner
    disc. Heating from the embedded sBHs significantly modifies the disc’s temperature
    profile and hardens its spectral energy distribution, and direct emission from
    the sBHs adds a new hard X-ray component.

  text: Recent hydrodynamical simulations have shown that circumbinary gas disks drive
    the orbits of massive binary black holes (BHs) to become eccentric, even when
    general relativistic (GR) corrections to the orbit are significant. Here, we study
    the GR apsidal precession of eccentric equal-mass massive binary BHs in circumbinary
    disks via two-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations. We perform a suite of simulations
    comparing precessing and nonprecessing binaries across a range of eccentricities,
    semimajor axes, and precession rates. We find that the GR precession of the binary’s
    semimajor axis can introduce a dominant modulation in the binary’s accretion rate
    and the corresponding high-energy electromagnetic light curves. We discuss the
    conditions under which this occurs and its detailed characteristics and mechanism.
    Finally, we discuss the potential to observe these precession signatures in electromagnetic-
    and gravitational-wave observations, as well as the precession signal’s unique
    importance as a potential tool to constrain the mass, eccentricity, and semimajor
    axis of binary merger events.

  text: "Introduction: Parkinson’s disease (PD) impairs motor preparation due to basal
    ganglia dysfunction, contributing to motor deficits. Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation
    (GVS), a non-invasive neuromodulation technique, shows promise in enhancing motor
    function in PD, but its underlying neural mechanisms are poorly understood. This
    study employs a Deep Koopman model to linearize and analyze preparatory EEG dynamics
    in PD, hypothesizing that GVS restores cortical activity patterns critical for
    motor planning.\r\nMethods: EEG data from 18 PD participants (on/off medication)
    and 18 healthy controls were collected during a preparatory phase of a motor task
    under three conditions: sham, GVS1 (50–100 Hz multi-sine), and GVS2 (100–150 Hz
    multi-sine). A Deep Koopman framework mapped EEG signals into a three-dimensional
    latent space for linear dynamical analysis. Temporal dynamics were assessed via
    eigenvalue analysis, spatial contributions via regression-based scalp mapping,
    and motor performance correlations via Pearson’s coefficients. A Linear Quadratic
    Regulator (LQR) simulated control of PD dynamics toward healthy patterns.\r\nResults:
    The Deep Koopman model accurately captured EEG dynamics, with eigenvalue analysis
    showing no significant temporal dynamic differences across groups. Spatial contribution
    analysis revealed that PD-Off sham conditions deviated most from healthy control
    EEG patterns, while GVS and medication significantly reduced these deviations,
    aligning PD patterns closer to controls. Closer alignment correlated with improved
    motor performance metrics, including reduced reaction and squeeze times. LQR control
    effectively guided PD neural dynamics toward healthy trajectories in the latent
    space.\r\nDiscussion: GVS enhances motor preparation in PD by restoring healthy
    cortical EEG patterns, with additive benefits from dopaminergic medication. The
    Deep Koopman framework offers a powerful approach for dissecting complex EEG dynamics
    and designing targeted neuromodulation strategies. These findings elucidate GVS’s
    therapeutic mechanisms and highlight its potential for personalized PD interventions,
    warranting further exploration in larger cohorts and varied stimulation protocols."
