Author-Reviewed Papers | Gist.Science

For every paper on this page, at least one of the original authors has seen our plain-language explanation and engaged with it — either confirming it reads accurately or requesting corrections that we then applied. An endorsement does not mean the authors formally approve every sentence, but it does mean the explanation has passed the eyes of the people who wrote the paper.

How Far Can You Get Without a GPU? A Systematic Benchmark of Lightweight Hallucination Detection Across Question Answering, Dialogue, and Summarisation

This paper systematically benchmarks five lightweight, CPU-feasible hallucination detection methods across question answering, dialogue, and summarization tasks, revealing that performance is highly task-dependent with ensemble methods excelling in QA, NLI detectors leading in dialogue, and all approaches failing significantly on summarization.

Evidence-Informed LLM Beliefs for Continual Scientific Discovery

This paper introduces an evidence-informed framework for continual scientific discovery with LLMs that replaces static Bayesian surprise with non-stationary, belief-updated surprisal and employs filtering and diversity maximization to eliminate spurious rewards, thereby significantly improving hypothesis exploration across multiple domains.

SurrogateShield: Beyond Redaction for High-Utility, Privacy-Preserving LLM Interactions

SurrogateShield is a client-side proxy that enhances privacy-preserving LLM interactions by replacing detected PII with locally generated, type-consistent surrogate values before transmission and restoring the originals in responses, thereby eliminating real PII exposure while significantly improving semantic utility compared to traditional redaction methods.

An entropic analogue of the MMS conjecture

This paper establishes that for any multiset of $n$ real numbers summing to zero, the Shannon entropy of the sum of $k$ randomly sampled elements is bounded below by the entropy of a Bernoulli random variable with mean $k/n$ , presenting a sharp result that serves as an entropic analogue to the Manickam-Miklós-Singhi conjecture.

Early Warning Signals for OpenVLA Failure under Visual Distribution Shift

This paper demonstrates that lightweight probes trained on OpenVLA's internal feedforward activations can effectively predict near-term task failures caused by visual distribution shifts like occlusion, achieving high accuracy without requiring changes to the underlying policy.

Robust Regularised M-Estimators for High-Dimensional Regression with Heavy-Tailed and Skewed Errors

This paper introduces a class of robust regularised M-estimators for high-dimensional regression that achieves optimal convergence rates and variable selection consistency under minimal moment conditions (finite $\alpha > 1$ ), outperforming existing methods in both simulation and real-world genomic applications when dealing with heavy-tailed, skewed, or contaminated errors.

Modeling Soil Volumetric Water Content Based on Climatic Factors in the Tripoli Region (Libya) Using Multiple Linear Regression

This study utilizes multiple linear regression analysis of data from 2001 to 2024 to demonstrate that precipitation is the most significant climatic factor positively influencing soil volumetric water content in Tripoli, Libya, while relative humidity shows a positive correlation and soil temperature exhibits an inverse relationship.

A Causal Memory-Kernel Response Framework for Weak-Field Gravity: Trace Projection, Local Limits, and Phenomenological Constraints

This paper proposes a constrained low-energy causal memory-kernel framework for weak-field gravity that separates scalar trace projections from full tensor responses to incorporate historical dependence and memristive-like structures while remaining consistent with standard General Relativity limits and phenomenological observational bounds.

Residual Body-Mass Dependence in VO₂peak Normalization: Comparison of Ratio Scaling, Allometric Modeling, and Regression–Residual Methods

This study demonstrates that while conventional ratio scaling of peak oxygen uptake (VO₂peak) retains significant residual dependence on body mass, regression–residual normalization effectively eliminates this bias, offering a superior alternative to both ratio scaling and conventional allometric modeling for adjusting aerobic capacity across diverse body sizes.

Diversity, Nesting Ecology and Worker-level Morphometric Structure of Stingless Bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Meliponini) in the Bimodal Forest Zone of Central Cameroon

This study documents the diversity, nesting ecology, and worker-level morphometric structure of stingless bees in Central Cameroon's bimodal forest zone, revealing that *Hypotrigona gribodoi* and *Dactylurina staudingeri* exhibit contrasting, size-structured phenotypic variations and distinct nesting habits while establishing the first locality-resolved baseline to support conservation and meliponiculture.
