Drone warfare kills over 1,000 in Sudan in 2026 as strikes multiply: UN
More than 1,000 civilians in Sudan have been killed in drone strikes in the first five months of 2026, according to the United Nations. The death toll is due to a "sharp" increase in the use of drone warfare in the country's vicious civil war, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (UNHCHR) Volker Turk said in a speech on Monday. On top of documenting more than 1,000 civilians being killed in the first five months of this year, the UN office also reported "rampant" levels of sexual violence, including rape. The war in the African nation started in April 2023 when a rivalry between Sudan's army chief, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and the commander of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, Mohamed Hamdan "Hemedti" Dagalo, exploded into war. The conflict, which had first started in the capital Khartoum, soon spread to several areas of the country.

Asymptotics of SGD in Sequence-Single Index Models and Single-Layer Attention Networks
We study the dynamics of stochastic gradient descent (SGD) for a class of sequence models termed Sequence Single-Index (SSI) models, where the target depends on a single direction in input space applied to a sequence of tokens. This setting generalizes classical single-index models to the sequential domain, encompassing simplified one-layer attention architectures. We derive a closed-form expression for the population loss in terms of a pair of sufficient statistics capturing semantic and positional alignment, and characterize the induced high-dimensional SGD dynamics for these coordinates. Our analysis reveals two distinct training phases: escape from uninformative initialization and alignment with the target subspace, and demonstrates how the sequence length and positional encoding influence convergence speed and learning trajectories. These results provide a rigorous and interpretable foundation for understanding how sequential structure in data can be beneficial for learning with attention-based models. Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) is the core optimization tool driving modern machine learning. Recent years have seen substantial progress in understanding its dynamics, particularly in two-layer networks [Saad and Solla, 1995, Mei et al., 2018, Chizat and Bach, 2018, Rotskoff and VandenEijnden, 2022, Sirignano and Spiliopoulos, 2020, Arnaboldi et al., 2023a]. While global convergence is qualitatively well-understood when the network is wide enough, quantitative results are scarcer. A particularly fruitful body of recent theoretical work addressing this gap has focused on deriving precise convergence rates for particular model classes on synthetic data, such as high-dimensional Gaussian single and multi-index models [Ben Arous et al., 2021, Abbe et al., 2022, 2023].

Measuring Fingerprints of Web-filtered Text Datasets and Fingerprint Propagation Through Training
We investigate fingerprints in pretraining datasets for large language models (LLMs) through dataset classification experiments. Building on prior work demonstrating the existence of fingerprints or biases in popular computer vision datasets, we analyze popular open-source pretraining datasets for LLMs derived from CommonCrawl including C4, RefinedWeb, DolmaCC, RedPajama-V2, FineWeb, and DCLM-Baseline. Despite those datasets being obtained with similar curation steps, neural networks can classify surprisingly well which dataset a single text sequence belongs to, significantly better than a human can. This indicates that small differences in filtering and processing pipelines induce fingerprints, that we find are evident in formatting, vocabulary, and content distributions. Such fingerprints can negatively impact cross-dataset generalization. Additionally, we show that these fingerprints propagate through training: sequences generated by models trained on those datasets can be accurately classified by a classifier trained on the original datasets. This can offer insights into data characteristics that are typically undisclosed by LLM developers, including pretraining mixture proportions and finetuning data sources.
Future Link Prediction Without Memory or Aggregation
Future link prediction on temporal graphs is a fundamental task with wide applicability in real-world dynamic systems. These scenarios often involve both recurring (seen) and novel (unseen) interactions, requiring models to generalize effectively across both types of edges. However, existing methods typically rely on complex memory and aggregation modules, yet struggle to handle unseen edges. In this paper, we revisit the architecture of existing temporal graph models and identify two essential but overlooked modeling requirements for future link prediction: representing nodes with unique identifiers and performing target-aware matching between source and destination nodes. To this end, we propose Cross-Attention based Future Link Predictor on Temporal Graphs (CRAFT), a simple yet effective architecture that discards memory and aggregation modules and instead builds on two components: learnable node embeddings and cross-attention between the destination and the source's recent interactions. This design provides strong expressive power and enables target-aware modeling of the compatibility between candidate destinations and the source's interaction patterns. Extensive experiments on diverse datasets demonstrate that CRAFT consistently achieves superior performance with high efficiency, making it well-suited for large-scale real-world applications.

Optimal Spectral Transitions in High-Dimensional Multi-Index Models
We consider the problem of how many samples from a Gaussian multi-index model are required to weakly reconstruct the relevant index subspace. Despite its increasing popularity as a testbed for investigating the computational complexity of neural networks, results beyond the single-index setting remain elusive. In this work, we introduce spectral algorithms based on the linearization of a message passing scheme tailored to this problem. Our main contribution is to show that the proposed methods achieve the optimal reconstruction threshold. Leveraging a high-dimensional characterization of the algorithms, we show that above the critical threshold the leading eigenvector correlates with the relevant index subspace, a phenomenon reminiscent of the Baik-Ben Arous-Peche (BBP) transition in spiked models arising in random matrix theory.
