Exact output statistics of Icart's encoding in the exceptional \(j=0\) case

Announce Type: cross Abstract: Icart's encoding is a classical deterministic map from finite fields to elliptic curves and a basic ingredient in early hash-to-curve constructions. We determine the exact one-output distribution of this map in the exceptional \(j=0\) case. More precisely, for \[ E_{0,b}:Y^2=X^3+b,\ q\equiv2\pmod3, \] we compute the complete fibre distribution of \(f_{0,b}:\mathbb F_q\to E_{0,b}(\mathbb F_q)\).

Hyperstatistics

arXiv:2604.24783v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We propose a general approach, named by us hyperstatistics, to treat complex systems, in which Boltzmann-Gibbs statistics breaks down in domains of the system. Hyperstatistics preserves the concavity of nonadditive $q$-entropy. We obtain analytical closed-form expressions for the here proposed $q$-generalized Boltzmann factor $B_q$ considering uniform, $\gamma$, Log-normal, F, and the $q$-$\gamma$ probability distribution functions.

Ultrafast machine learning on FPGAs via Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks

Ultrafast machine learning on FPGAs via Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks This post is a high-level explainer for my Master’s thesis, which involves designing hardware architectures for ultrafast inference and online learning using the Kolmogorov-Arnold Network (KAN) architecture. I’ll assume familiarity with standard machine learning concepts, as well as some understanding of hardware and digital circuits; read my previous post here for the latter. Please read the two papers below for more...
