HALLUFIELD: DETECTING LLM HALLUCINATIONS VIA FIELD-THEORETIC MODELING
A research-focused Python package that implements our hallucination-detection method for large language models(LLMs). The code computes stability signals from LLM predictions across various hyperparameters sweeps and combines free-energy/entropy–style metrics to flag likely hallucinations, with tunable thresholds for batch scoring. The repo includes evaluation scripts, config files, and example notebooks to reproduce benchmark results and ablations; it depends on standard open-source libraries (PyTorch, Hugging Face) and runs on CPU/GPU. The repository examples only use public models/datasets only.

photoemission
The code is a python package that implements a one-step model to estimate quantum efficiency of photoemission from solid state surfaces. The analytical formulation is based on the approach proposed in Phys Rev B 95, 075439 (2017). This code extends that formalism from a model Hamiltonian to the calculation of quantum efficiency from the electronic states derived from solid-state quantum mechanical calculations obtained using the VASP code.

Model data for a watershed-scale study in the Portage River Basin (OH) examining the effects of subsurface drainage on the hydrologic response of an agricultural watershed.
This study builds on Rathore et al. (2024, WRR) and investigates the role of artificial tile-drainage on various aspects of watershed hydrological response, with a particular focus on peakflow. The model-data for the original modeling-focused paper (Rathore et al., 2024, WRR) is archived at Rathore et al. (2024, ESS-DIVE). Hence, this model-data archive provides scripts that are specific to this study that includes model updates, processing and analysis scripts. For details and models files of original model, readers are referred to Rathore et al. (2024, ESS-DIVE). The key difference between the model configuration in this study and Rathore et al. (2024, WRR) is that the tile drains are applied to the entire domain, to study the impact of tile-drains on different aspects of hydrological response. Additional scenario considering intensified precipitation after a dry period was also simulated. The Watershed Workflow package is implemented in Python3. The Jupyter notebooks can be executed through multiple open-source tools, for example, Anaconda Jupyter Lab, VS Studio Code, etc. Other data files include CSV and HDF5 files, which can be read through Python scripts.

RegularizedOptimization.jl: A Julia framework for regularized and nonsmooth optimization
RegularizedOptimization.jl is a Julia package that implements families of quadratic regularization and trust-region methods for solving the nonsmooth optimization problem $^{\textrm{minimize}}_{𝑥∈ℝ^𝑛}$ 𝑓(𝑥) + ℎ(𝑥) subject to 𝑐(𝑥) = 0, (1) where 𝑓 ∶ ℝ 𝑛 → ℝ and 𝑐 ∶ ℝ 𝑛 → ℝ 𝑚 are continuously differentiable, and ℎ ∶ ℝ 𝑛 → ℝ∪{+∞} is lower semi-continuous. The nonsmooth objective ℎ can be a regularizer, such as a sparsity inducing penalty, model simple constraints, such as 𝑥 belonging to a simple convex set, or can be a combination of both. All 𝑓, ℎ, and 𝑐 can be nonconvex. RegularizedOptimization.jl provides a modular and extensible framework for solving (1), and developing novel solvers. Currently, the following solvers are implemented: • Trust-region solvers TR and TRDH (Aravkin et al., 2022; Leconte & Orban, 2025) • Quadratic regularization solvers R2, R2DH and R2N (Aravkin et al., 2022; Diouane, Habiboullah, et al., 2024) • Levenberg-Marquardt solvers LM and LMTR (Aravkin et al., 2024) used when 𝑓 is a least-squares residual. • Augmented Lagrangian solver AL (De Marchi et al., 2023). All solvers rely on first derivatives of 𝑓 and 𝑐, and optionally on their second derivatives in the form of Hessian-vector products. If second derivatives are not available, quasi-Newton approximations can be used. In addition, the proximal mapping of the nonsmooth part ℎ, or adequate models thereof, must be evaluated. At each iteration, a step is computed by solving a subproblem of the form (1) inexactly, in which 𝑓, ℎ, and 𝑐 are replaced with appropriate models around the current iterate. The solvers R2, R2DH, and TRDH are particularly well suited to solve the subproblems, though they are general enough to solve (1). All solvers are allocation-free, so re-solves incur no additional allocations. To illustrate our claim of extensibility, a first version of the AL solver was implemented by an external contributor. Furthermore, a nonsmooth penalty approach, described in Diouane, Gollier, et al. (2024), is currently being developed, that relies on the library to efficiently solve the subproblems.

CoverM: read alignment statistics for metagenomics
SUMMARY: Genome-centric analysis of metagenomic samples is a powerful method for understanding the function of microbial communities. Calculating read coverage is a central part of analysis, enabling differential coverage binning for recovery of genomes and estimation of microbial community composition. Coverage is determined by processing read alignments to reference sequences of either contigs or genomes. Per-reference coverage is typically calculated in an ad-hoc manner, with each software package providing its own implementation and specific definition of coverage. Here we present a unified software package CoverM which calculates several coverage statistics for contigs and genomes in an ergonomic and flexible manner. It uses "Mosdepth arrays" for computational efficiency and avoids unnecessary I/O overhead by calculating coverage statistics from streamed read alignment results. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: CoverM is free software available at https://github.com/wwood/coverm. CoverM is implemented in Rust, with Python (https://github.com/apcamargo/pycoverm) and Julia (https://github.com/JuliaBinaryWrappers/CoverM_jll.jl) interfaces.

Risk-Aware Framework Development for Disruption Prediction: Alcator C-Mod and DIII-D Survival Analysis
Abstract Survival regression models can achieve longer warning times at similar receiver operating characteristic performance than previously investigated models. Survival regression models are also shown to predict the time until a disruption will occur with lower error than other predictors. Time-to-event predictions from time-series data can be obtained with a survival analysis statistical framework, and there have been many tools developed for this task which we aim to apply to disruption prediction. Using the open-source Auton-Survival package we have implemented disruption predictors with the survival regression models Cox Proportional Hazards, Deep Cox Proportional Hazards, and Deep Survival Machines. To compare with previous work, we also include predictors using a Random Forest binary classifier, and a conditional Kaplan-Meier formalism. We benchmarked the performance of these five predictors using experimental data from the Alcator C-Mod and DIII-D tokamaks by simulating alarms on each individual shot. We find that developing machine-relevant metrics to evaluate models is an important area for future work. While this study finds cases where disruptive conditions are not predicted, there are instances where the desired outcome is produced. Giving the plasma control system the expected time-to-disruption will allow it to determine the optimal actuator response in real time to minimize risk of damage to the device.

Electron-impact excitation data for W 2+ in support of tungsten spectroscopy and re-deposition measurements for magnetically-confined plasmas
Abstract To better understand plasma wall interactions involving tungsten, accurate atomic structure and electron-impact driven collisional processes for near-neutral ion stages of tungsten are required. Complementing existing work on neutral and singly ionised tungsten, atomic structure and collisional calculations for W 2+ electron-impact excitation have been completed. These excitation calculations are an important component of S/XB coefficients for near-neutral charge states, which may be used to spectroscopically infer re-deposition of tungsten at the plasma-solid boundary of fusion relevant devices. With W 2+ in particular having emission lines that can be observed at ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths, while higher charge states of tungsten are unlikely to have lines possible to observe outside of the vacuum UV range. The atomic structure was generated using the General-purpose Relativistic Atomic Structure Package (GRASP 0 ), implementing the Multi-configuration Dirac Fock approach. This structure was the basis for a subsequent Dirac R -matrix electron-impact excitation calculation to provide Maxwellian averaged rate coefficients. A synthetic spectrum was generated from this data using a collisional-radiative model to predict the strongest W III spectral lines and these lines were compared to emission from the Compact Toroidal Hybrid (CTH) plasma device. Several of the strongest W III lines are observed in CTH and agree well with the modelled line wavelengths and intensities, a table of these lines is provided that could be observed in other devices.

Learning PDFs through interpretable latent representations in Mellin space
Representing the parton distribution functions (PDFs) of the proton and other hadrons through flexible, high-fidelity parametrizations has been a long-standing goal of particle physics phenomenology. This is particularly true since the chosen parametrization methodology can play an influential role in the ultimate PDF uncertainties as extracted in QCD global analyses; these, in turn, are often determinative of the reach of experiments at the LHC and other facilities to nonstandard physics, including at large 𝑥, where parametrization effects can be significant. In this study, we explore a series of encoder-decoder machine-learning (ML) models with various neural-network topologies as efficient means of reconstructing PDFs from meaningful information stored in an interpretable latent space. Given recent effort to pioneer synergies between QCD analyses and lattice-gauge calculations, we formulate a latent representation based on the behavior of PDFs in Mellin space, i.e., their integrated moments, and test the ability of various models to decode PDFs from this information faithfully. We introduce a numerical package, PDFdecoder, which implements several encoder-decoder models to reconstruct PDFs with high fidelity and use this end-to-end tool to explore how such neural-network-based models might connect PDF parametrizations to underlying properties like their Mellin moments. We additionally dissect patterns of learned correlations between encoded Mellin moments and reconstructed PDFs that suggest opportunities for further improvements to ML-based approaches to PDF parametrizations and uncertainty quantification.

Distributed Sapphire Fiber Bragg Gratings Based Thermal Profiling of Submerged Entry Nozzles
This research focuses on the application of sapphire fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) for instrumentation in submerged entry nozzles (SEN) within the steelmaking industry. The SEN is pivotal for transferring molten steel from a tundish to a mold, while preventing the infiltration of oxygen and nitrogen from the surrounding environment. Maintaining optimal flow conditions in the mold is crucial for ensuring casting process stability and maintaining high quality steel. Sapphire FBG sensors have been instrumented in SENs to enable distributed thermal mapping for monitoring the health of the SEN. The optical sensor comprises three cascaded sapphire FBGs inscribed using femtosecond laser technology into a one-meter-long sapphire crystalline fiber. The sensor underwent characterization in a laboratory setting up to 1600°C and was tested for long-term stability over 40 hours under extreme environmental conditions. The coupling between silica and sapphire fibers was investigated and implemented during sensor packaging. Here, the sensor successfully captured the pre-heat sequence of the SEN in real-world steelmaking operations. Compared to conventional thermocouples, sapphire FBG sensors demonstrated exceptional efficiency and precision. They offer potential benefits such as increased productivity, reduced energy consumption, and minimized carbon footprint in the steel industry.

Principal Landau determinants
We reformulate the Landau analysis of Feynman integrals with the aim of advancing the state of the art in modern particle-physics computations. We contribute new algorithms for computing Landau singularities, using tools from polyhedral geometry and symbolic/numerical elimination. Inspired by the work of Gelfand, Kapranov, and Zelevinsky (GKZ) on generalized Euler integrals, we define the principal Landau determinant of a Feynman diagram. We illustrate with a number of examples that this algebraic formalism allows to compute many components of the Landau singular locus. We adapt the GKZ framework by carefully specializing Euler integrals to Feynman integrals. For instance, ultraviolet and infrared singularities are detected as irreducible components of an incidence variety, which project dominantly to the kinematic space. We compute principal Landau determinants for the infinite families of one-loop and banana diagrams with different mass configurations, and for a range of cutting-edge Standard Model processes. Furthermore, our algorithms build on the Julia package this http URL and are implemented in the new open-source package this http URL available at this https URL.

Integrating ORNL’s HPC and Neutron Facilities with a Performance-Portable CPU/GPU Ecosystem
We explore the development of a performance-portable CPU/GPU ecosystem to integrate two of the US Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) largest scientific instruments, the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing facility and the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS), both of which are housed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. We select a relevant data reduction workflow use-case to obtain the differential scattering cross-section from data collected by SNS’s CORELLI and TOPAZ instruments. We compare the current CPU-only production implementation using the Garnet Python multiprocess package based on the Mantid C++ framework against our proposed CPU/GPU implementation that uses the LLVM-based, just-in-time Julia scientific language and the JACC.jl performance-portable package. Two proxy apps were developed: (i) an app for extracting relevant Mantid kernels (MDNorm) in C++ and (ii) the Julia MiniVATES.jl miniapp. We present performance results for NVIDIA A100 and AMD MI100 GPUs and AMD EPYC 7513 and 7662 CPUs. The results provide insights for future generations of data reduction software that can embrace performance portability for an integrated research infrastructure across DOE’s experimental and computational facilities.

Graph-Based Modeling and Decomposition of Hierarchical Optimization Problems
We present a graph-theoretic modeling approach for hierarchical optimization that leverages the OptiGraph abstraction implemented in the Julia package Plasmo.jl. We show that the abstraction is flexible and can effectively capture complex hierarchical connectivity that arises from decision-making over multiple spatial and temporal scales (e.g., integration of planning, scheduling, and operations in manufacturing and infrastructures). We also show that the graph abstraction facilitates the conceptualization and implementation of decomposition and approximation schemes. Specifically, we propose a graph-based Benders decomposition (gBD) framework that enables the exploitation of hierarchical (nested) structures and that uses graph aggregation/partitioning procedures to discover such structures. In addition, we provide a Julia implementation of gBD, which we call PlasmoBenders.jl. We illustrate the capabilities using examples arising in the context of energy and power systems.
