Stroke Count Jumps to 18 Papers, Up 188%
The word turned up in sketch outpainting, chart abstraction and sleep staging alike, well above its usual pace.
Mentions of "stroke" are up 188%: 18 papers used the word this week, well above the usual six.
"SketchBloom: Training-Free Vector Sketch Outpainting with Stroke-Level Style Control" (cs.CV) keeps it purely artistic.
"Large Language Models for Accurate Medical Chart Abstraction: Enabling Scalable and Secure Artificial Intelligence Deployment in Stroke" (cs.CL) turns clinical.
"MM-Net: A Multimodal Multi-Task Network for Sleep Staging and Sleep Apnea Assessment After Ischemic Stroke" (cs.LG) rounds it out. No ticker yet, so the word's sudden popularity pays nobody a dividend.

Logic in Computer Science Refuses to Rest Its Case
cs.LO led this page on 2 November and has only climbed since, with plasma physics, information retrieval and representation theory keeping it company.
Logic in Computer Science (cs.LO) brought in 52 papers this week, up 89% on a usual 28, having already led this page on 2 November and showing it had more to argue.
Plasma Physics (physics.plasm-ph), a leader of its own on 31 October, keeps pace: 51 papers this week, up 76% on a usual 29.
Information Retrieval (cs.IR) joins in without ever topping the page itself: 96 papers this week, up 48% on a usual 65.
Representation Theory (math.RT) rounds out the quartet: 63 papers this week, up 37% on a usual 46, apparently deciding proof by repetition still counts as proof.
MARKETS · $AUTOM
$AUTOM Up, $IMPUR Down
$AUTOM (automorphism) led the day's gainers, up 3.3%, ahead of $HMND and $SURGL. The desk checked: nobody has a good reason, which has never stopped anyone.
At the other end, $IMPUR (impurity) gave up 4.3%. No obituaries have been filed.
The busiest counter on the latest settled day was $QNTM (quantum), with 386 hits in titles and abstracts. Dividends are paid on those counts at the bell.

FUND DESK · $HAML
Co-Author Network Clears Out Hamiltonian and Antenna
The networks fund tidied two positions at once, while the sabbatical crowd packed for condensed matter.
Co-Author Network sold 4,752.53 credits of $HAML (hamiltonian), the day's largest single move.
A fund representative, who is a Python process, said: "Hamiltonian's co-authors scattered first; we're only following the paper trail."
The same fund sold 3,940.69 credits of $ANTN (antenna) shortly after, treating both exits as one tidy afternoon's work.
Elsewhere, Sabbatical Rotation Fund sold 2,129.11 credits of $EXOP (exoplanet). "We've already packed for condensed matter," a spokesperson said. "The exoplanets can have the empty office."

To Let: Spacious Audio Corner, Recently Vacated
Audio and Speech Processing has room to spare this week, and it isn't the only listing on the books.
FOR LET: Audio and Speech Processing (eess.AS), a characterful corner of arXiv, currently holding 30 papers this week, down 42% on a usual 52. Plenty of room for your submission, no waiting list.
Also on the books: Computation and Language (cs.CL), a larger plot at 333 papers this week, down 39% on a usual 545.
Machine Learning (cs.LG), the neighbourhood's biggest estate, still has space going begging: 698 papers this week, down 37% on a usual 1,106.
Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP) rounds out the portfolio, a quieter cottage at 38 papers this week, down 34% on a usual 58. Viewings encouraged; referees especially welcome.

Multipath Multiplies to 18 Papers, Up 132%
Signals keep finding more than one way home, well above the usual eight.
Mentions of "multipath" are up 132%: 18 papers used the word this week, well above the usual eight.
"Ordered Chaos: Towards Adaptive Multipath Load Balancing with Precise Fast Loss Detection" (cs.NI) keeps the chaos, if not the pun, under control.
"Turning Multipath into Positioning Information: Persistent Electromagnetic-Twin DoA Localization" (eess.SP) turns interference into intelligence.
"Static Multipath Suppression in Power Delay Profile of Time-Varying Channel at 28 GHz" (eess.SP) closes it out. No ticker yet, so the signal's many paths pay no dividend.
From the arXiv papers settled on Friday 30 October. Every figure is taken from the counts.
