A Study of Solving Life-and-Death Problems in Go Using Relevance-Zone Based Solvers
arXiv:2512.21365v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: This paper analyzes the behavior of solving Life-and-Death (L&D) problems in the game of Go using current state-of-the-art computer Go solvers with two techniques: the Relevance-Zone Based Search (RZS) and the relevance-zone pattern table. We examined...
Three-way decision with incomplete information based on similarity and satisfiability
arXiv:2512.21421v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Three-way decision is widely applied with rough set theory to learn classification or decision rules. The approaches dealing with complete information are well established in the literature, including the two complementary computational and conceptual...
A new superconductor breaks rules physicists thought were fixed
A shiny gray crystal called platinum-bismuth-two hides an electronic world unlike anything scientists have seen before. Researchers discovered that only the crystal’s outer surfaces become superconducting—allowing electrons to flow with zero resistance—while the interior remains ordinary metal. Even...
This tiny chip could change the future of quantum computing
A new microchip-sized device could dramatically accelerate the future of quantum computing. It controls laser frequencies with extreme precision while using far less power than today’s bulky systems. Crucially, it’s made with standard chip manufacturing, meaning it can be mass-produced instead of cu...
Scientists in Japan have confirmed that ultra-thin films of ruthenium dioxide belong to a newly recognized and powerful class of magnetic materials called altermagnets. These materials combine the best of two magnetic worlds: they’re stable against interference yet still allow fast, electrical reado...
A Christmas tree 80 light-years wide appears in space
This Christmas, astronomers are highlighting a spectacular region of space that looks remarkably like a glowing holiday tree. Known as NGC 2264, this distant star-forming region sits about 2,700 light-years away and is filled with newborn stars lighting up clouds of gas and dust. The stars form a tr...
Proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Knowledge, Information and Creativity Support Systems (KICSS 2025)

Abstract: This volume presents the proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Knowledge, Information and Creativity Support Systems (KICSS 2025), held in Nagaoka, Japan, on December 3-5, 2025. The conference, organized in cooperation with the IEICE Pro...
arXiv:2512.16928v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: The Muon optimizer enjoys strong empirical performance and theoretical grounding. However, the super-linear cost of its orthonormalization step introduces increasing overhead with scale. To alleviate this cost, several works have attempted to reduce t...
Data science is the practice of extracting meaningful insights from data
using statistics, programming, and domain knowledge to support better
decisions.
There is no single definition of intelligence, and the concept of
intelligence is complex and multi-dimensional. However, one common
definition of intelligence is the ability to think abstractly, solve
problems, and adapt to new situations.
SHARe-KAN: Holographic Vector Quantization for Memory-Bound Inference
arXiv:2512.15742v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs) face a fundamental memory wall: their learned basis functions create parameter counts that impose extreme bandwidth demands, hindering deployment in memory-constrained environments. We show that Vision KANs exhibit a ...
