2.5D co-packaged optical I/O chipsets on a SiON/Si interposer for 4 $\times$ 100G optical interconnection

Optical I/O technologies have emerged as a potential industrial solution for high-performance data interconnection in AI/ML computing acceleration. While optical I/Os are deployed at the edge of computational chips by co-packaged optics (CPO), flexible and high-performance integration architectures need to be explored to address system-level challenges. In this work, we present and experimentally demonstrate a SiON/Si-based optical interposer that integrates high-bandwidth and energy-efficient optical I/O chipsets. High-performance photonic and electronic components are co-packaged on the interposer, leading to low-loss, signal-integrity-friendly, and thermally efficient characteristics. The optical interposer incorporates low-loss SiON photonic circuits to realize scalable waveguide routing and wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) with polarization-insensitive operation and high fabrication tolerance, while supporting flip-chip integration with InP-based active devices, including electro-absorption modulated lasers (EMLs) and photodetectors (PDs). Based on this architecture, a 400-Gb/s single-fiber optical transceiver is implemented and experimentally evaluated. Clear eye diagrams and high receiver sensitivity demonstrate reliable high-speed data transmission, which offers scalable, high-bandwidth optical I/Os in future high-performance computational clusters.

LLM-powered Real-time Patent Citation Recommendation for Financial Technologies

Rapid financial innovation has been accompanied by a sharp increase in patenting activity, making timely and comprehensive prior-art discovery more difficult. This problem is especially evident in financial technologies, where innovations develop quickly, patent collections grow continuously, and citation recommendation systems must be updated as new applications arrive. Existing patent retrieval and citation recommendation methods typically rely on static indexes or periodic retraining, which limits their ability to operate effectively in such dynamic settings. In this study, we propose a real-time patent citation recommendation framework designed for large and fast-changing financial patent corpora. Using a dataset of 428,843 financial patents granted by the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA) between 2000 and 2024, we build a three-stage recommendation pipeline. The pipeline uses large language model (LLM) embeddings to represent the semantic content of patent abstracts, applies efficient approximate nearest-neighbor search to construct a manageable candidate set, and ranks candidates by semantic similarity to produce top-k citation recommendations. In addition to improving recommendation accuracy, the proposed framework directly addresses the dynamic nature of patent systems. By using an incremental indexing strategy based on hierarchical navigable small-world (HNSW) graphs, newly issued patents can be added without rebuilding the entire index. A rolling day-by-day update experiment shows that incremental updating improves recall while substantially reducing computational cost compared with rebuild-based indexing. The proposed method also consistently outperforms traditional text-based baselines and alternative nearest-neighbor retrieval approaches.

Learning Explainable Stock Predictions with Tweets Using Mixture of Experts

Stock price movements are influenced by many factors, and alongside historical price data, tex-tual information is a key source. Public news and social media offer valuable insights into market sentiment and emerging events. These sources are fast-paced, diverse, and significantly impact future stock trends. Recently, LLMs have enhanced financial analysis, but prompt-based methods still have limitations, such as input length restrictions and difficulties in predicting sequences of varying lengths. Additionally, most models rely on dense computational layers, which are resource-intensive. To address these challenges, we propose the FTS- Text-MoE model, which combines numerical data with key summaries from news and tweets using point embeddings, boosting prediction accuracy through the integration of factual textual data. The model uses a Mixture of Experts (MoE) Transformer decoder to process both data types. By activating only a subset of model parameters, it reduces computational costs. Furthermore, the model features multi-resolution prediction heads, enabling flexible forecasting of financial time series at different scales. Experimental results show that FTS-Text-MoE outperforms baseline methods in terms of investment returns and Sharpe ratio, demonstrating its superior accuracy and ability to predict future market trends.

Mining Intraday Risk Factor Collections via Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning based on Transferred Options

Traditional risk factors like beta, size/value, and momentum often lag behind market dynamics in measuring and predicting stock return volatility. Statistical models like PCA and factor analysis fail to capture hidden nonlinear relationships. Genetic programming (GP) can identify nonlinear factors but often lacks mechanisms for evaluating factor quality, and the resulting formulas are complex. To address these challenges, we propose a Hierarchical Proximal Policy Optimization (HPPO) framework for automated factor generation and evaluation. HPPO uses two PPO models: a high-level policy assigns weights to stock features, and a low-level policy identifies latent nonlinear relationships. The Pearson correlation between generated factors and return volatility serves as the reward signal. Transfer learning pre-trains the high-level policy on large-scale historical data, fine-tuning it with the latest data to adapt to new features and shifts. Experiments show the HPPO-TO algorithm achieves a 25\% excess return in HFT markets across China (CSI 300/800), India (Nifty 100), and the US (S\&P 500).

HRFT: Mining High-Frequency Risk Factor Collections End-to-End via Transformer

In quantitative trading, transforming historical stock data into interpretable, formulaic risk factors enhances the identification of market volatility and risk. Despite recent advancements in neural networks for extracting latent risk factors, these models remain limited to feature extraction and lack explicit, formulaic risk factor designs. By viewing symbolic mathematics as a language where valid mathematical expressions serve as meaningful "sentences" we propose framing the task of mining formulaic risk factors as a language modeling problem. In this paper, we introduce an end to end methodology, Intraday Risk Factor Transformer (IRFT), to directly generate complete formulaic risk factors, including constants. We use a hybrid symbolic numeric vocabulary where symbolic tokens represent operators and stock features, and numeric tokens represent constants. We train a Transformer model on high frequency trading (HFT) datasets to generate risk factors without relying on a predefined skeleton of operators. It determines the general form of the stock volatility law, including constants. We refine the predicted constants using the Broyden Fletcher Goldfarb Shanno (BFGS) algorithm to mitigate non linear issues. Compared to the ten approaches in SRBench, an active benchmark for symbolic regression (SR), IRFT achieves a 30% higher investment return on the HS300 and SP500 datasets, while achieving inference times that are orders of magnitude faster than existing methods in HF risk factor mining tasks.

Parity-violating macroscopic force between chiral molecules and source mass

A theory concerning non-zero macroscopic chirality-dependent force between a source mass and homochiral molecules due to the exchange of light particles is presented in this paper. This force is proposed to have opposite sign for molecules with opposite chirality. Using the central field approximation, we calculate this force between a copper block and a vessel of chiral molecules (methyl phenyl carbinol nitrite). The magnitude of force is estimated with the published limits of the scalar and pseudo-scalar coupling constants. Based on our theoretical model, this force may violate the equivalence principle when the homochiral molecules are used to be the test masses.
