Beyond Brute Force: A Smarter Approach to Nearest Neighbor Search

26.01.2026 by qfx

The Adaptive Graph Model for kNN circumvents the computational expense of traditional kNN search by learning an optimal, density-aware neighborhood structure during training and precomputing consensus labels directly into each node, enabling logarithmic-time classification at inference through rapid navigation of a Hierarchical Navigable Small World graph and eliminating the need for real-time voting.

A new graph-based framework, kkNN-Graph, dramatically accelerates k-Nearest Neighbors classification by pre-computing decision boundaries and leveraging hierarchical indexing.

Ripples in Volatility: Modeling Market Interdependence

26.01.2026 by qfx

The analysis of AAPL stock between March 19, 2008, and April 22, 2024, reveals the interplay between estimated volatility [latex]\mu_{i,t}[/latex] and its idiosyncratic component [latex]exp(\varsigma_{i,t})[/latex], suggesting inherent instability within the asset's price dynamics.

A new statistical approach offers improved methods for understanding how volatility spreads between multiple financial time series.

Decoding Model Safety: Finding the Hidden Controls in Large Language Models

26.01.2026 by qfx

The proposed GOSV framework identifies safety-critical attention heads through an optimization process combining harmful patching and zero ablation-techniques designed to strategically replace activations at those heads during inference, effectively manipulating model behavior.

New research reveals how safety mechanisms are encoded within large language models and demonstrates a method to pinpoint and manipulate the specific components responsible for preventing harmful outputs.

Turning Mistakes into Strengths: Teaching AI to Recover from Errors

26.01.2026 by qfx

The Fission-GRPO framework operates through iterative refinement-initially optimizing a policy [latex]\pi_{\theta}[/latex] across a query distribution [latex]\mathcal{D}[/latex], then isolating error trajectories via a diagnostic simulator [latex]\mathcal{S}_{\phi}[/latex], and finally employing a multiplicative resampling process-governed by a factor [latex]G^{\prime}[/latex]-to steer the policy toward successful recovery paths, embodying a system designed not to prevent decay, but to adaptively reconfigure itself within it.

New research demonstrates a method for improving the reliability of AI agents by transforming failed actions into valuable learning opportunities.
