Continual learning methods are universally evaluated under a discrete task-boundary assumption, where distribution shifts occur instantaneously between clearly delineated tasks. We argue this assumption is ecologically invalid and demonstrate that five leading continual learning methods (EWC, SI, PackNet, ER, DER++) fail catastrophically when task boundaries are gradual.

We present new results on graph reconstruction with applications to reconstruction conjecture. Our main theorem establishes sharp bounds that improve upon the best previously known results, settling a conjecture in the affirmative for the cases considered.

We empirically characterize how inference-time compute scales with task performance for agentic AI workloads. Across 14 agentic benchmarks spanning web navigation, code generation with tool use, and multi-step reasoning, we find that performance follows a power law with exponent 0.

Foundation models for zero-shot object detection, including CLIP-based detectors and Grounding DINO, have achieved remarkable performance on natural image benchmarks. However, their deployment in industrial quality inspection remains largely untested.

We present a rigorous experimental and theoretical investigation addressing the claim embedded in this work's title. Using a combination of analytical derivations, numerical simulations, and where applicable, experimental data from state-of-the-art quantum hardware, we establish precise quantitative thresholds and scaling behaviors.

We report a systematic investigation of laser induced forward transfer with quantitative characterization spanning multiple length scales and operating regimes. Our methodology combines first-principles theoretical analysis, finite-element numerical simulations, and experimental measurements on fabricated samples to establish precise performance boundaries.
