CMT-Benchmark: A Benchmark for Condensed Matter Theory Built by Expert Researchers
Haining Pan, James V. Roggeveen, Erez Berg +16
Large language models (LLMs) have shown remarkable progress in coding and math problem-solving, but evaluation on advanced research-level problems in hard sciences remains scarce.…
Short-term plasticity recalls forgotten memories through a trampoline mechanism
Martina Del Gaudio, Federico Ghimenti, Surya Ganguli
We analyze continuous Hopfield associative memories augmented by additional, rapid short-term associative synaptic plasticity. Through the cavity method, we determine the boundary…
Contrastive Concept-Tree Search for LLM-Assisted Algorithm Discovery
Timothee Leleu, Sudeera Gunathilaka, Federico Ghimenti +1
Large language Model (LLM)-assisted algorithm discovery is an iterative, black-box optimization process over programs to approximatively solve a target task, where an LLM proposes…
The geometry and dynamics of annealed optimization in the coherent Ising machine with hidden and planted solutions
Federico Ghimenti, Adithya Sriram, Atsushi Yamamura +2
The coherent Ising machine (CIM) is a nonconventional hardware architecture for finding approximate solutions to large-scale combinatorial optimization problems. It operates by ann…
