Predictable Emergence: An Empirical Analysis of Whether Sharp Capability Jumps Follow from Smooth Per-Token Scaling Laws

This paper demonstrates that the sharp "emergent" jumps in exact-match accuracy observed in multi-digit integer addition are not genuine discontinuities in model capability but are instead fully predictable artifacts resulting from smooth, power-law improvements in per-token accuracy compounded by the nonlinearity of requiring all digits to be correct.

The Three-Force Phase Diagram of Mixture-of Experts: Gradient Alignment Theory and Causal Veri cation on Mixtral 8×7B

This paper introduces the cross-expert gradient alignment metric (Γ) to demonstrate that standard Mixture-of-Experts training, particularly in Mixtral 8×7B, is fundamentally driven by a structural zero-sum competition caused by the combined negative effects of softmax coupling and top-k normalization, which creates a persistent negative alignment attractor that can only be overcome by removing these specific architectural constraints.

MESH for Incremental Digital-physical system (MESH4ID): A Headset-Centred Virtual Reality Pipeline

This paper introduces MESH4ID, a headset-centered virtual reality pipeline built on Unity/OpenXR that enables users to capture, manage, and reconstruct indoor environments by freezing live LiDAR streams into traceable snapshots for interactive inspection and on-demand mesh generation within an immersive VR setting.

SMPD: Self-Supervised Meta-Learning for Predictive IoT Compromise Detection with Few-Shot Adaptation

The paper proposes SMPD, a novel self-supervised meta-learning framework that leverages multi-modal temporal data and contrastive pre-training to predict IoT device compromises 24–48 hours in advance with high accuracy and few-shot adaptability, significantly outperforming existing intrusion detection baselines in resource-constrained environments.

Recovering Engineering-Change Traceability from Legacy CNC Work Orders: A Pydantic Schema and Few-Shot LLM Extraction Baseline

This paper proposes a Pydantic schema and a few-shot small language model baseline to extract engineering change traceability from fragmented, bilingual, and truncated legacy CNC work orders, demonstrating high schema validity while revealing that contextually grounded pre-prompts degrade performance and deterministic post-filters improve precision without affecting recall.

RECON: A Recipe-Driven, Evidence-Fused, Neuro-Symbolic Multi-Agent Architecture for Autonomous Document Compliance Auditing across Heterogeneous Enterprise Repositories

This paper introduces RECON, a neuro-symbolic multi-agent architecture that combines deterministic rules, fuzzy detection, and LLM reasoning with a YAML-driven recipe system and tamper-evident auditing to deliver reproducible, defensible, and evidence-fused document compliance reviews across heterogeneous enterprise repositories.
