Synchronization Reveals Market Structure That Classical Randomness Tests Cannot Detect

Nam H. Le

Synchronization among coupled oscillators -- from neurons to power grids -- is a universal signature of collective behavior, classically measured by the Kuramoto order parameter. A…

MagCilia: A Compact Magnetociliary Tactile Sensor with 3D Force Sensing for Robotic Contact Perception and Grasping Feedback

Yu Feng, Hao Wu, Haotian Guo +7

Robotic grasping and surface exploration benefit from simultaneous measurement of normal and tangential forces and from surface information obtained through contact. Here, we prese…

The exceptional set in Cassel's theorem on small cyclotomic integers

Jitendra Bajpai, Srijan Das, Kiran S. Kedlaya +4

In a 1965 paper, R. Robinson made five conjectures about the classification of cyclotomic algebraic integers for which the maximum absolute value in any complex embedding (the hous…

ZapGPT: Free-form Language Prompting for Simulated Cellular Control

Nam H. Le, Patrick Erickson, Yanbo Zhang +2

Human language is one of the most expressive tools for conveying intent, yet most artificial or biological systems lack mechanisms to interpret or respond meaningfully to it. Bridg…

Decoupling Representation and Learning in Genetic Programming: the LaSER Approach

Nam H. Le, Josh Bongard

Genetic Programming (GP) has traditionally entangled the evolution of symbolic representations with their performance-based evaluation, often relying solely on raw fitness scores.…
