Lithium Enrichment in a Subgiant Star with a Brown Dwarf Companion: A Planetary Engulfment Candidate

This study identifies the subgiant star TOI-5882 as a strong candidate for planetary engulfment, evidenced by its significant lithium enrichment which modeling suggests could result from the ingestion of a super-Earth to Neptune-mass planet.

BALLAST: Bayesian Active Learning with Look-ahead Amendment for Sea-drifter Trajectories under Spatio-Temporal Vector Fields

The paper introduces BALLAST, a Bayesian active learning framework that optimizes the placement of Lagrangian sea drifters for inferring time-dependent ocean vector fields by incorporating look-ahead trajectory predictions and a novel efficient Gaussian Process inference method called VaSE.

Sutra: Tensor-Op RNNs as a Compilation Target for Vector Symbolic Architectures

The paper introduces Sutra, a purely functional programming language that compiles symbolic Vector Symbolic Architecture operations into fused PyTorch tensor graphs, enabling programs to achieve perfect decoding accuracy across diverse frozen embedding substrates and to be trained via backpropagation while remaining fully legible and recompilable as source code.

A Multi-Layer Testing Framework for Automated Data Quality Assurance in Cloud-Native ELT Pipelines

This paper presents a unified, multi-layer testing framework for cloud-native ELT pipelines that integrates orchestration-level validation, declarative dbt tests, and LLM-generated semantic tests, demonstrating through controlled experiments that this approach achieves a 128.57% improvement in anomaly detection over manual baselines while maintaining operational practicality.

Complete Weierstrass elliptic function solutions for coherent couplers and their relation to degenerate four-wave mixing

This paper presents complete analytic solutions for coherent couplers with arbitrary parameters using Weierstrass elliptic functions, identifies Jensen's coupler as a special case, and establishes a projection from the three-mode degenerate four-wave mixing system to the two-mode coupler, revealing a deeper connection to integrable parametric processes and Kronecker theta functions.
