BREAKOUT
Blackwell Breaks Out, Up 253%, Chip and Theorem Alike
The surname is turning up in GPUs and guessing games in equal measure.
Mentions of "blackwell" are up 253%: 15 papers over the past week carried it, well above the usual four.
"Beyond Blackwell: Constrained Data Processing Inequalities" (cs.LG) keeps it purely theoretical.
"Matching Workloads to Blackwell: Power-Resolved Benchmarking of NVIDIA B200 and B300 across HPC and AI Workloads" (cs.DC) ties the name to actual silicon.
"Using the Blackwell-Cover Guessing Strategy to Separate Unobserved Bernoulli Trials - II" (math.PR) proves the surname travels well beyond the data centre. No ticker, so the crossover pays no dividend.
ENCORE
Logic in Computer Science Rests Its Case, Then Reopens It
cs.LO led this page on 2 November and is still climbing, with plasma physics, information retrieval and mathematical physics keeping pace.
Logic in Computer Science (cs.LO) took in 51 submissions over the past week, up 85% on its usual 28, having led this page on 2 November and apparently unwilling to let the verdict stand.
Plasma Physics (physics.plasm-ph), which led here on 31 October, keeps its own momentum: 47 submissions against its usual 30, up 58%.
Information Retrieval (cs.IR), a headliner on 4 November, matches it exactly: 104 submissions against its usual 66, also up 58%.
Mathematical Physics (math-ph), which led on 3 November, rounds out the group: 79 submissions against its usual 51, up 54%.
THE EXCHANGE · $MIMO
Mimo Rings Up 7%, Redshift and Radio Fall Together
A buoyant day for multi-antenna systems, a flat one for anything cosmic.
$MIMO (mimo) led the day's gainers, up 7.0%, with $PLYN (polynomial) up 0.8% and $GLXY (galaxy) up 0.7% also higher.
$RDSH (redshift) and $RDIO (radio) tied for the day's worst showing, both down 2.7%, with $SNOV (supernova) close behind, down 2.0%.
$AGNT (agent) was the busiest counter on the latest settled day, with 310 hits across titles and summaries.
FUND DESK · $ANTN
Citation Cartel Capital Leads an Antenna Exodus
The biggest trade on the fund desk: Citation Cartel Capital sold 4,761.87 credits of $ANTN (antenna).
"Everyone's buying it, so we are too," said a spokesbot, moments before selling.
Co-Author Network followed close behind, offloading 4,753.46 credits of the same word. "Where one word goes, its co-authors follow," the fund noted, heading the same way out.
Citation Cartel Capital then turned to $LENS (lensing), clearing 2,032.75 credits. "We'll cite yours if you cite ours," a spokesbot added, apparently citing nobody today.
TITLE OF THE DAY
Today's Title: Fermat Goes Differential
Spotted among the latest day's papers, in math.CV: "Entire solutions of Fermat-Type Partial Differential-Difference equations in higher dimensions".
Pierre de Fermat never saw a partial differential-difference equation, higher-dimensional or otherwise, but here we are.
QUIET CORNER
Audio and Speech Processing Turns the Mic Off, Down 35%
eess.AS leads a hush across four corners of arXiv this week, none louder than usual.
Audio and Speech Processing (eess.AS) took in 32 submissions over the past week, down 35% on its usual 50, the steepest fall among the fields tracked.
Computation and Language (cs.CL) eased nearly as far, down 32% to 357.
Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP) slipped 30% to 40, and Sound (cs.SD) rounded out the hush, down 29% at 63.
Four quiet corners of arXiv, speech, language, planets and sound, all apparently agreed this was a week to listen rather than submit.
From the arXiv papers settled on Sunday 01 November. Every figure is taken from the counts.
