Boosting deep Reinforcement Learning using pretraining with Logical Options
arXiv:2603.06565v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deep reinforcement learning agents are often misaligned, as they over-exploit early reward signals. Recently, several symbolic approaches have addressed these challenges by encoding sparse objectives along with aligned plans. However, purely symbolic architectures are complex...
IntSeqBERT: Learning Arithmetic Structure in OEIS via Modulo-Spectrum Embeddings
arXiv:2603.05556v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Integer sequences in the OEIS span values from single-digit constants to astronomical factorials and exponentials, making prediction challenging for standard tokenised models that cannot handle out-of-vocabulary values or exploit periodic arithmetic structure. We present IntSeqBERT,...

Regulating computational propaganda: lessons from international law
A historical analysis of the regulation of propaganda and obligations on States to prevent its dissemination reveals competing origins of the protection (and suppression) of free expression in international law. The conflict between the ‘marketplace of ideas’ approach favoured by...
Artificial Intelligence Regulation on Labour Market: Comparative Perspectives on the European Union Artificial Intelligence Act in the Indonesian Context
Vanderbilt in Venice
Program Overview Each summer, Vanderbilt in Venice allows American and European law students an opportunity to gain an invaluable international perspective. Directed by Professor Michael Newton, Vanderbilt in Venice brings together a maximum of 45 students with 3 professors to...
Requirements for “Legal Tech AI Systems” — Reflections on the negotiated AI Act with regard to Legal Technology using AI
Pocket Constitutions: America’s Founding Document in Small Print
For a document that is usually found behind glass casing in museums and galleries, many have taken advantage of the ability to carry it in their purse, wallet—or better yet—their pocket. The US Constitution is one of the oldest and...
Copyright Protection for AI-Generated Works: Exploring Originality and Ownership in a Digital Landscape
Abstract This research explores AI-generated originality's impact on copyright regulations. It meticulously examines legal frameworks such as the Berne Convention, EU Copyright Law, and national legislation. Rigorously analyzing cases, including Infopaq International A/S v Danske Dagblades Forening and Levola Hengelo...

Protests During the Pandemic
As a general rule, the government is permitted to restrict activities, including protesting, during the COVID-19 pandemic. The government can regulate the time, place, and manner of speech in public forums with a content neutral restriction so long as the...
Natural language processing in C<scp>LIME</scp>, a multilingual legal advisory system
Abstract This paper describes CLIME, a web-based legal advisory system with a multilingual natural language interface. CLIME is a ‘proof-of-concept’ system which answers queries relating to ship-building and ship-operating regulations. Its core knowledge source is a set of such regulations...

Curriculum Learning and Pseudo-Labeling Improve the Generalization of Multi-Label Arabic Dialect Identification Models
arXiv:2602.12937v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Being modeled as a single-label classification task for a long time, recent work has argued that Arabic Dialect Identification (ADI) should be framed as a multi-label classification task. However, ADI remains constrained by the availability...
Coden: Efficient Temporal Graph Neural Networks for Continuous Prediction
arXiv:2602.12613v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Temporal Graph Neural Networks (TGNNs) are pivotal in processing dynamic graphs. However, existing TGNNs primarily target one-time predictions for a given temporal span, whereas many practical applications require continuous predictions, that predictions are issued frequently...
Formalizing the Sampling Design Space of Diffusion-Based Generative Models via Adaptive Solvers and Wasserstein-Bounded Timesteps
arXiv:2602.12624v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Diffusion-based generative models have achieved remarkable performance across various domains, yet their practical deployment is often limited by high sampling costs. While prior work focuses on training objectives or individual solvers, the holistic design of...
