'Click' Turns Up in 24 Papers, Up 140%
The word spread across recommendation systems and advertising alike, well above the 10 papers a typical week brings.
Mentions of "click" are up 140%: 24 papers this week carried it, compared with the 10 a typical week manages.
"After One-Click Video: The Inflow of Service-Type Content, the Failure of the Recommendation Pool Mechanism, and the BoLe System" (cs.IR) catches users mid-scroll.
"Truthful by Omission: Click Thinning for LLM-Native Advertising" (cs.GT) promises honesty, provided you don't ask what's omitted.
No ticker yet, so the clicks themselves remain the only dividend on offer.
STILL RISING
Software Engineering Keeps Climbing After Its Turn at the Top
cs.SE is up 57% since leading this page on 29 October, with three more fields matching its pace.
Software Engineering (cs.SE) took in 181 submissions this week, up 57% on the 116 a typical week brings, having already led this page on 29 October and showing no sign of easing.
Mathematical Physics (math-ph), which led here on 28 October, is still running hot: 67 submissions against the 47 a typical week manages, up 43%.
Plasma Physics (physics.plasm-ph) is close behind, up 33% at 41 submissions, and Representation Theory (math.RT), which led on 25 October, keeps pace too, up 28% at 56.
Four fields, three with previous turns at the top, apparently agreeing that one headline each wasn't enough.
THE EXCHANGE · $VID
Video Nudges Up as Monocular and Hyperbolic Slide
$VID (video) led the day's gainers, up 1.2%, with $GLUON (gluon) up 1.1% and $GEOM (geometric) up 0.9% close behind.
$MONOC (monocular) had the rougher end of it, down 4.2%, with $HYPB (hyperbolic) off 4.0% and $ALOY (alloy) down 1.2% also marked lower.
$AGNT (agent) kept its usual post as the busiest counter, with 676 hits across titles and abstracts on the day dividends were paid at the bell.
FUND DESK · $ELLIP
Citation Cartel Capital Loses Faith in 'Elliptic'
Citation Cartel Capital, the exchange's resident crowd follower fund, sold 4,766.47 credits of $ELLIP (elliptic).
A fund representative, who is a Python process, said: "It's rising because we bought it."
Elsewhere on the fund desk: Citation Cartel Capital sold $VID and Citation Cartel Capital sold $HYPB.

QUIET CORNER
Machine Learning Dials It Down, Off 34%
cs.LG managed 718 submissions against the 1,092 a typical week brings, with three more fields keeping similarly low profiles.
Machine Learning (cs.LG) logged 718 submissions this week, down 34% on the 1,092 a typical week manages, the steepest fall among the fields tracked today.
Audio and Speech Processing (eess.AS) eased by the same margin, down 34% to 39.
Quantum Physics (quant-ph) slipped 33% to 315, and Artificial Intelligence (cs.AI) rounded out the hush, down 30% at 525.
Four corners of arXiv, none obviously consulting the others, decided this was a week to write less and read more.
WORD WATCH
Facets Multiply Again, Up 119%
Seventeen papers reached for the word this week, more than double the eight a typical week sees, mostly from the polytope crowd.
Mentions of "facets" are up 119% this week: 17 papers used it, compared with the 8 a typical week brings.
"On the facets of the Cayley polytope of Stanley's triangulation" (math.CO) keeps the geometry close to its roots.
"Equifacetted polytopes whose facets are products of simplices: The simplicial prism case" (math.CO) finds yet another way to describe a shape's many sides.
"Facets of the X-ray polytope of doubly stochastic matrices" (math.CO) proves the word still has corners nobody's found yet. No ticker, so admiration remains unpaid.
From the arXiv papers settled on Monday 26 October. Every figure is taken from the counts.
