The question of how to determine which states and actions are responsible for a certain outcome is known as the credit assignment problem and remains a central research question in reinforcement learning and artificial intelligence. Eligibility trace...
The glyph used today in the Western world to represent the number 1, a vertical line, often with a serif at the top and sometimes a short horizontal line at the bottom, traces its roots back to the Indians, who …
Detecting semantically similar functions -- a crucial analysis capability with broad real-world security usages including vulnerability detection, malware lineage, and forensics -- requires understanding function behaviors and intentions. This task i...
Provenance is information about the origin, derivation, ownership, or history of an object. It has recently been studied extensively in scientific databases and other settings due to its importance in helping scientists judge data validity, quality...
Jan 29, 2025 · When browsing the web at home becomes dangerous to your safety, there are tools that can help minimizing your digital traces to stay safe. Tails is one of these tools. Here's why, when, …
The vertical Sato--Tate conjectures gives expected trace distributions for for families of curves. We develop exact expression for the distribution associated to degree-$4$ representations of $\mathrm{USp}(4)$, $\mathrm{SU}(2)\times\mathrm{SU}(2)$ an...
This paper traces the history of Maturity Models and their impact on Process Improvement from the early work of Shewhart to their current usage with DevOps. The history of modern process improvement can be traced at least to Shewhart. From his founda...
The elementary operation of cropping underpins nearly every computer vision system, ranging from data augmentation and translation invariance to computational photography and representation learning. This paper investigates the subtle traces introduc...
Feb 19, 2026 · What is Observability? Observability is the engineering capability to infer a system’s internal state based on the telemetry it produces, including logs, metrics, traces, events, and …
Jun 26, 2024 · Observability, the ability to measure a system’s current state based on the data it generates, is critical for cloud-native environments.
Jul 23, 2025 · Observability means we can understand how a system works based on the information it produces, like logs, measurements, and traces. As cloud systems have become more complicated, …
We compute the boundary stress-energies of time-dependent asymptotically AdS spacetimes in 5 and 7 dimensions, and find that their traces are equal to the respective 4 and 6 dimensional field-theoretic trace anomalies. This provides good supporting...
1 day ago · The Democratic Party is the oldest political party in the United States and among the oldest political parties in the world. It traces its roots to 1792, when followers of Thomas Jefferson adopted …
What are the core beliefs of Lutherans? Lutheranism traces its roots to the 16th-century German Reformer Martin Luther, who sought to address teachings and practices within the broader church …
Jan 21, 2026 · Lutheranism, branch of Christianity that traces its interpretation of the Christian religion to the teachings of Martin Luther and the 16th-century movements that issued from his reforms.
The Origins Space Telescope (Origins) traces our cosmic history, from the formation of the first galaxies and the rise of metals to the development of habitable worlds and present-day life. Origins does this through exquisite sensitivity to infrared...
An electronic circuit is composed of individual electronic components, such as resistors, transistors, capacitors, inductors and diodes, connected by conductive wires or traces through which electric …
The 4-d SU(2) lattice gauge theory is simulated in the minimal Coulomb gauge which aims to maximize the traces of all links in three directions. Fourth-direction links are interpreted as spins in a Heisenberg-like model with varying interactions. T...
The brain forms and stores distributed representations from sparse external input that compete for neuronal resources with already stored memory traces. It is unclear what dynamical properties of neural systems allow formation and subsequent consolid...
In extremal graph theory, the problem of finding the elements of a given class of graphs which contain the most cliques traces its routes back to Turán's famous theorem. We consider the implications of the connectivity property of simplicial complex...
