This paper explores policy gradient algorithms for training stochastic policies to sample from structured discrete probability distributions under the Generative Flow Network (GFlowNet) framework. Building on extensive theoretical connections between GFlowNets and entropy-regularized reinforcement learning, we derive equivalents of standard policy gradient algorithms for training GFlowNets, as well as experimentally explore their various methodo...

CozoDB is an embedded relational-graph-vector database created by Ziyang Hu and the Cozo Project authors. It does Datalog, vector search (HNSW), and full-text search in a single embedded engine and was created with the vision to be the “Hippocampus for AI”. Unfortunately, the project went quiet after December 2024. KuzuDB, another embedded graph database with vector and full-text indexes similar to Cozo, was archived in October 2025. Read more ›
The State Railway of Thailand has ordered a temporary halt to construction of a new tunnel on the northern line pending an investigation into a scaffolding collapse that killed two workers. Read more ›
So, you adopted event-driven architecture because your system was a rat’s nest of coupling, and events were the answer to decouple it. But now debugging is a nightmare. You have events coming in out of order. You have retries causing duplicates and multiple different side effects. Local development is a pain. It’s frustrating, right? But… Read More »Stop Blaming Event-Driven Architecture The post appeared first on <a href=" Read more ›

Digital communication increasingly underpins identity, financial transactions, and regulatory compliance. In many settings, possession of a DKIM-signed email serves as evidence of account control, transaction confirmation, or institutional affiliation. Yet demonstrating such properties typically requires revealing the full email or relying on centralized intermediaries, introducing privacy risks and additional trust assumptions. A framework called ZK Email addresses this limitation by applyin... Read more ›

Binary data factorization is common, but real-valued methods ignore discreteness and yield hard-to-interpret factors. Boolean Matrix Factorization (BooMF) instead decomposes a binary matrix into two lower-rank binary matrices via logical AND and OR, expressing the data as a Boolean disjunction of interpretable patterns. In cancer genomics, BooMF can reveal coordinated feature changes that may drive tumor evolution, unlike rotational or additiv... Read more ›
In this work, we develop two main Machine Learning based approaches to predict the runtime parameters of highly scalable parallel chemistry computations.These approaches employ active and generative learning together with the empirically determined gradient boosted regression tree models chosen among a rich suite of machine learning models. When evaluated on Coupled-Cluster with Singles and Doubles computations, our models achieve a mean absolut... Read more ›
This essay by Antonio Somaini develops a critical theory of “latent spaces” — the compressed, vectorized mathematical substrates at the heart of contemporary AI models — and their impact on the ways in which the past is processed and interpreted. Opening with the Trump administration's AI-assisted purge of words and images from federal documents, alongside PragerU's production of deepfake videos for the White House's Founders Museum, Somaini argues that AI technologies are introducing a new r...

Martin Kleppmann, an associate professor at Cambridge and author of Designing Data-Intensive Applications, discusses the evolution of data systems over the last decade, mainly the shift from monolithic databases to modular building blocks. Kleppmann underlines the importance of moving from cloud-centric data storage systems to decentralised data storage similar to Bluesky’s AT protocol. Read more ›

Medical image classification is often constrained by limited labeled data, motivating generative augmentation; recently, quantum generative models have been proposed for this purpose, frequently reporting accuracy gains. However, such claims are typically based on single training runs, do not match the parameter budgets of the quantum and classical generators, and do not characterize the data regime in which any benefit appears. We present a con... Read more ›
Unstructured text provides decision-makers with a rich data source in many domains, ranging from product reviews in retail to nursing notes in healthcare. To leverage this information, words are typically translated into word embeddings -- vectors that encode the semantic relationships between words -- through unsupervised learning algorithms such as matrix factorization. However, learning word embeddings from new domains with limited traini... Read more ›
