    • LuciEntry: Towards Understanding the Design of Lucid Dream Induction 

      Wang, Po-Yao (Cosmos); Fang, Xiao Zoe; Ducos, Gabriel; Lee, Nathaniel Yung Xiang; Loose, Antony; e.a. (ACM|Designing Interactive Systems Conference, 2025-07-04)
      Lucid dreaming, a state in which people become aware that they are dreaming, is known for its many mental and physical health benefits. However, most lucid dream induction techniques, such as reality testing, require ...

    • The Reality of AI and Biorisk 

      Peppin, Aidan; Reuel, Anka; Casper, Stephen; Jones, Elliot; Strait, Andrew; e.a. (ACM|The 2025 ACM Conference on Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency, 2025-06-23)
      To accurately and confidently answer the question “could an AI model or system increase biorisk”, it is necessary to have both a sound theoretical threat model for how AI models or systems could increase biorisk and a ...

    • SoS Certifiability of Subgaussian Distributions and Its Algorithmic Applications 

      Diakonikolas, Ilias; Hopkins, Samuel; Pensia, Ankit; Tiegel, Stefan (ACM|Proceedings of the 57th Annual ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing, 2025-06-15)
      We prove that there is a universal constant C>0 so that for every d ∈ ℕ, every centered subgaussian distribution D on ℝd, and every even p ∈ ℕ, the d-variate polynomial (Cp)p/2 · ||v||2p − EX ∼ D ⟨ v,X⟩p is a sum of square ...
