User surveys for Quality of Experience (QoE) are a critical source of information. In addition to the common "star rating" used to estimate Mean Opinion Score (MOS), more detailed survey questions (problem tokens) about specific areas provide valuable insight into the factors impacting QoE. This paper explores two aspe…
Fine-tuning improves information conveyance in language models by reorganizing uncertainty into more informative sequences.
problem Uncertainty reduction in large language models through fine-tuning is not fully understood, especially regarding output length.
method Proposed Canopy Entropy (CE⋆) to measure uncertainty in both output length and sequence, capturing total Shannon entropy.
result Fine-tuned models exhibit stronger positive correlation between entropy rate and semantic diversity, indicating more informative and semantically meaningful generations.
Neural sequence generation is typically performed token-by-token and left-to-right. Whenever a token is generated only previously produced tokens are taken into consideration. In contrast, for problems such as sequence classification, bidirectional attention, which takes both past and future tokens into consideration, …
This study examines whether tokenized assets improve liquidity and finds significant differences across categories.
problem Improving liquidity for real-world assets through tokenization.
method Examined tokenized real-world assets using Ethereum-based data, measuring liquidity through turnover, active addresses, and active-month indicator.
result Gold-backed tokens show more persistent on-chain activity than Treasury and private-credit-related products, but asset value alone does not reliably predict liquidity.
In this article, we introduce the notion of star-Ricci tensors in the real hypersurfaces of complex quadric Qm. It is proved that there exist no Hopf hypersurfaces in Qm,m≥3, with commuting star-Ricci tensor or parallel star-Ricci tensor. As a generalization of star-Einstein metric, star-Ricci solitons on M …
LLM-as-a-service prices vary arbitrarily due to tokenization multiplicity.
problem Arbitrary price variation in LLM-as-a-service due to multiple tokenizations of the same output.
method Introduce canonical generation to restrict LLMs to unique tokenizations and develop an efficient sampling algorithm.
result Our sampling algorithm for canonical generation solves tokenization multiplicity and maintains comparable performance and runtime to standard sampling.
Traditional centralized energy systems have the disadvantages of difficult management and insufficient incentives. Blockchain is an emerging technology, which can be utilized in energy systems to enhance their management and control. Integrating token economy and blockchain technology, token economic systems in energy …
We compare the star surgery operations introduced in [KS] to the generalized rational blow-down. We show that star surgery shares the properties that make rational blow-down useful for constructions of small exotic symplectic 4-manifolds. Then we show that star surgery operations provide a strictly more general class o…
We derive a closed formula for a star-product on complex projective space and on the domain SU(n+1)/S(U(1)×U(n)) using a completely elementary construction: Starting from the standard star-product of Wick type on Cn+1∖{0} and performing a quantum analogue of Marsden-Weinstein reduction, we ca…
Let K be a nontrivial knot in S3 and t(K) its tunnel number. For any (p≥2,q)-slope in the torus boundary of a closed regular neighborhood of K in S3, denoted by K⋆, it is a nontrivial cable knot in S3. Though t(K⋆)≤t(K)+1, Example 1.1 in Section 1 shows that in some cas…
Fan tokens surged before World Cup matches, but declined during them, revealing cognitive biases.
problem Analyzing the impact of FIFA World Cup matches on fan tokens.
method Event study and intraday analysis of blockchain-based fan tokens.
result Fan tokens experienced a surge in returns six months before the World Cup, followed by a decline during the matches, revealing asymmetries in performance.
The paper finds at least four prime closed characteristics on star-shaped hypersurfaces in 8D space.
problem Finding prime closed characteristics on compact star-shaped hypersurfaces in 8D space.
method Proved existence of at least four prime closed characteristics for non-degenerate C3 compact star-shaped hypersurfaces in R8 without prime closed characteristics of Maslov-type index -1.
result Existence of at least four prime closed characteristics on compact star-shaped hypersurfaces in R8.
We empirically verify that the market capitalisations of coins and tokens in the cryptocurrency universe follow power-law distributions with significantly different values, with the tail exponent falling between 0.5 and 0.7 for coins, and between 1.0 and 1.3 for tokens. We provide a rationale for this, based on a simpl…
Given a bordified space, Karlsson defines an incidence geometry of stars at infinity. These stars and their incidence are closely related to well-understood objects when the space is hyperbolic, CAT(0), or a bounded convex domain with the Hilbert metric. A question stemming from Karlsson's original paper was whether or…
