QIP 20252025Determining the quantum capacity of a noisy quantum channel is an important problem in the field of quantum communication theory. In this work, we consider the Gaussian random displacement channel Nσ, a type of bosonic Gaussian channels relevant in various bosonic quantum information processing systems. In particular, we attempt to make progress on the problem of determining the quantum capacity of a Gaussian

2025In real-world NLP applications, Large Language Models (LLMs) offer promising solutions due to their extensive training on vast datasets. However, the large size and high computation demands of LLMs limit their practicality in many applications, especially when further fine-tuning is required. To address these limitations, smaller models are typically preferred for deployment. However, their training is

2025Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown promise in structured prediction tasks, including regression, but existing approaches primarily focus on point estimates and lack systematic comparison across different methods. We investigate probabilistic regression using LLMs for unstructured inputs, addressing challenging text-to-distribution prediction tasks such as price estimation where both nuanced text understanding

2025Benchmark design plays a critical role in advancing large language models (LLMs) by providing systematic frameworks to measure, compare, and improve their capabilities across diverse tasks. While existing benchmarks have driven progress in areas such as factual question answering, code synthesis, and scientific problem solving, there remains a notable lack of benchmarks tailored to evaluate LLMs in real-world

ACSAC Workshop on AI for Cyber Threat Intelligence (WAITI) 20252025Cloud technology adoption has intensified the impact of server-side script attacks, exposing organizations to greater risks against system and data integrity. These server-side scripts in languages like Python, Perl and Bash that operate on server runtime environments can steal data, compromise credentials, and disrupt operations. Unlike executables with standardized formats (e.g., ELF, PE), scripts are
