RedacBench: Can AI Erase Your Secrets?

Modern language models can readily extract sensitive information from unstructured text, making redaction -- the selective removal of such information -- critical for data security. However, existing benchmarks for redaction typically focus on predefined categories of data such as personally identifiable information (PII) or evaluate specific techniques like masking. To address this limitation, we introduce RedacBench, a comprehensive benchmark for evaluating policy-conditioned redaction across domains and strategies. Constructed from 514 human-authored texts spanning individual, corporate, and government sources, paired with 187 security policies, RedacBench measures a model's ability to selectively remove policy-violating information while preserving the original semantics. We quantify performance using 8,053 annotated propositions that capture all inferable information in each text. This enables assessment of both security -- the removal of sensitive propositions -- and utility -- the preservation of non-sensitive propositions. Experiments across multiple redaction strategies and state-of-the-art language models show that while more advanced models can improve security, preserving utility remains a challenge. To facilitate future research, we release RedacBench along with a web-based playground for dataset customization and evaluation. Available at https://hyunjunian.github.io/redaction-playground/.

The Active Discoverer Framework: Towards Autonomous Physics Reasoning through Neuro-Symbolic LaTeX Synthesis

Modern artificial intelligence excels at statistical interpolation within seen manifolds but fundamentally fails at the exact reasoning required for theoretical physics and mathematics. We identify the "Float Wall" -- a catastrophic collapse of neural extrapolation at scales beyond $10^{16}$ -- caused by standard floating-point representation and linguistic tokenization (BPE). To resolve this, we introduce the Active Discoverer Framework, a digit-native neuro-symbolic architecture designed for invariant discovery. At its core is NumberNet, a Siamese Arithmetic Transformer that utilizes least-significant-bit (LSB) sequence encoding to achieve 0% precision loss and cosmic-scale extrapolation up to $10^{50}$. To enforce physical grounding, we implement a Hamiltonian-based energy descent and Symmetry Grouping layer, ensuring the model respects Noether's theorem natively. The primary innovation is the Symbolic LaTeX Bottleneck: an active discovery loop where the model is forced to hypothesize unknown physical variables through an autoregressive LaTeX decoder. By reconciling numeric "hallucinations" with structurally valid mathematical expressions, the framework ensures that any discovered physics is parsimonious and human-interpretable. We evaluate this system against a 30-billion scale benchmark and the Universal Physics Pantheon, featuring 50 "Chaos Mode" systemic perturbations. Our results demonstrate that while traditional GBDT and LLM-based architectures collapse at cosmic scales, the Active Discoverer autonomously deduces universal constants such as the Gravitational Constant ($G$) with high fidelity. This framework establishes a path toward zero-hallucination artificial intelligence and truly autonomous scientific research agents.

Self-Refining Language Model Anonymizers via Adversarial Distillation

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used in sensitive domains, where their ability to infer personal data from seemingly benign text introduces emerging privacy risks. While recent LLM-based anonymization methods help mitigate such risks, they often rely on proprietary models (e.g., GPT-4), raising concerns about cost and the potential exposure of sensitive data to untrusted external systems. To address this, we introduce SElf-refining Anonymization with Language model (SEAL), a novel distillation framework for training small language models (SLMs) to perform effective anonymization without relying on external models at inference time. SEAL leverages adversarial interactions between an LLM anonymizer and an inference model to collect trajectories of anonymized texts and inferred attributes, which are then used to distill anonymization and critique capabilities into SLMs through supervised fine-tuning and preference learning. The resulting models learn both to anonymize text and to evaluate their outputs, enabling iterative improvement of anonymization quality via self-refinement. Experiments on SynthPAI, a dataset of synthetic personal profiles and text comments, demonstrate that SLMs trained with SEAL achieve substantial improvements in anonymization capabilities. Notably, 8B models attain a privacy-utility trade-off comparable to that of the GPT-4 anonymizer and, with self-refinement, even surpass it in terms of privacy protection. These results highlight the effectiveness of our adversarial distillation framework for training SLMs as efficient anonymizers.

Julia Cloud Matrix Machine: Dynamic Matrix Language Acceleration on Multicore Clusters in the Cloud

In emerging scientific computing environments, matrix computations of increasing size and complexity are increasingly becoming prevalent. However, contemporary matrix language implementations are insufficient in their support for efficient utilization of cloud computing resources, particularly on the user side. We thus developed an extension of the Julia high-performance computation language such that matrix computations are automatically parallelized in the cloud, where users are separated from directly interacting with complex explicitly-parallel computations. We implement lazy evaluation semantics combined with directed graphs to optimize matrix operations on the fly while dynamic simulation finds the optimal tile size and schedule for a given cluster of cloud nodes. A time model prediction of the cluster's performance capacity is constructed to enable simulations. Automatic configuration of communication and worker processes on the cloud networks allow for the framework to automatically scale up for clusters of heterogeneous nodes. Our framework's experimental evaluation comprises eleven benchmarks on an fourteen node (564 CPUs) cluster in the AWS public cloud, revealing speedups of up to a factor of 5.1, with an average 74.39% of the upper bound for speedups.
