Learning Where the Physics Is: Probabilistic Adaptive Sampling for Stiff PDEs

The paper introduces GMM-PIELM, a probabilistic adaptive sampling framework that significantly improves the accuracy and conditioning of Physics-Informed Extreme Learning Machines for stiff PDEs by autonomously concentrating basis function centers in high-error regions like shock fronts, achieving orders-of-magnitude lower errors than baseline methods while retaining rapid closed-form training speeds.

From Entropy to Calibrated Uncertainty: Training Language Models to Reason About Uncertainty

This paper proposes a three-stage post-training pipeline that computes fine-grained entropy-based uncertainty, calibrates them via Platt scaling, and uses reinforcement learning to teach language models to efficiently generate interpretable and well-calibrated uncertainty estimates at test time, outperforming existing post-hoc methods in both performance and generalization.

Structured Exploration vs. Generative Flexibility: A Field Study Comparing Bandit and LLM Architectures for Personalised Health Behaviour Interventions

A four-week field study comparing contextual bandits and Large Language Models for personalized health interventions reveals that while unconstrained LLMs significantly outperform template-based systems in perceived helpfulness due to their ability to acknowledge user context, they fail to systematically explore diverse behavior change techniques, highlighting a critical design trade-off between structured exploration and generative autonomy in reflective AI health systems.
