Attention Meets Reachability: Structural Equivalence and Efficiency in Grammar-Constrained LLM Decoding

This paper establishes that while language-equivalent context-free grammars yield identical token masks in grammar-constrained decoding, their structural differences significantly impact computational efficiency by introducing variable state-space blowups and ambiguity costs, leading to fundamental lower bounds on decoding work and new distortion metrics for masked sampling.

An intuitive rearranging of the Yates covariance decomposition for probabilistic verification of forecasts with the Brier score

This paper proposes a simple algebraic rearrangement of the Yates covariance decomposition for the Brier score that decomposes forecast error into three non-negative terms—variance mismatch, correlation deficit, and calibration-in-the-large—thereby making the conditions for optimal probabilistic forecasting transparent.

Autocorrelation effects in a stochastic-process model for decision making via time series

This study employs a stochastic-process model to demonstrate that the optimal autocorrelation of time-series signals for solving multi-armed bandit problems depends on the reward environment, with negative autocorrelation being advantageous in reward-rich settings and positive autocorrelation in reward-poor ones, while performance remains independent of autocorrelation when the sum of winning probabilities equals one.

When AI Levels the Playing Field: Skill Homogenization, Asset Concentration, and Two Regimes of Inequality

This paper presents a task-based model demonstrating that while generative AI homogenizes individual skills, it can simultaneously increase aggregate inequality by shifting economic value toward concentrated complementary assets, with the net outcome determined by the technology's structure and labor market institutions rather than a single universal verdict.
