Financial black swans driven by ultrafast machine ecology
Neil Johnson, Guannan Zhao, Eric Hunsader +4
Society's drive toward ever faster socio-technical systems, means that there is an urgent need to understand the threat from 'black swan' extreme events that might emerge. On 6 May…
Dynamic Red Queen explains patterns in fatal insurgent attacks
Neil Johnson, Spencer Carran, Joel Botner +5
The Red Queen's notion "It takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place" has been applied within evolutionary biology, politics and economics. We find that a general…
Exploring the effects of photon correlations from thermal sources on bacterial photosynthesis
Pedro Manrique, Felipe Caycedo-Soler, Adriana De Mendoza +3
Thermal light sources can produce photons with strong spatial correlations. We study the role that these correlations might potentially play in bacterial photosynthesis. Our findin…
Modelling Universal Order Book Dynamics in Bitcoin Market
Fabin Shi, Nathan Aden, Shengda Huang +7
Understanding the emergence of universal features such as the stylized facts in markets is a long-standing challenge that has drawn much attention from economists and physicists. M…
Loong: Synthesize Long Chain-of-Thoughts at Scale through Verifiers
Xingyue Huang, Rishabh, Gregor Franke +43
Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown that their reasoning capabilities can be significantly improved through Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Reward (RL…
Real-time Likelihood Methods for Improved Gamma-ray Transient Detection and Localization
Matthew Kerr, Wade Duvall, Neil Johnson +3
We present a maximum likelihood (ML) algorithm that is fast enough to detect gamma-ray transients in real time on low-performance processors often used for space applications. We v…
