Jiang Xueqin, a Chinese-Canadian educator and political commentator, earned the nickname after making a series of geopolitical predictions that supporters say later came true. Among them were forecasts that Donald Trump would return to the White House in 2024 and that the United States and Israel would become involved in a conflict with Iran under his administration.

Large-scale Uncertainty Quantification for Latent Variable Models Using Subsampling Markov Chain Monte Carlo

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Stochastic gradient Langevin dynamics combined with Gibbs updates (SGLD--Gibbs) provides a highly scalable approach to approximate Bayesian inference in latent variable models. However, it remains unclear how to tune the algorithm's hyperparameters in a principled manner to ensure the uncertainty estimates are statistically meaningful. In this work, we address this gap in tuning guidance by developing a statistical scaling limit theory for SGLD--Gibbs. We derive a joint asymptotic limit for the global parameters and latent variables under appropriate space-time rescaling. We show that global parameters converge to a diffusion-type limit, while each latent variable converges to a jump process, reflecting the use of intermittent Gibbs updates. This joint jump-diffusion structure reveals how latent-variable randomness contributes to the stationary distribution of the global parameters. We leverage our results to propose explicit guidance on hyperparameter tuning for SGLD--Gibbs that ensures meaningful uncertainty quantification. Numerical experiments show that SGLD--Gibbs with our tuning guidance leads to better parameter estimates, uncertainty quantification, and predictive performance than stochastic variational inference.


Approximation and learning of anisotropic and mixed smooth functions by deep ReLU neural networks

arXiv.org Machine Learning

This paper studies how efficiently deep ReLU neural networks can approximate and learn smooth functions. When the error is measured in $L^p([0,1]^d)$ norm and the approximator is a network with width $W$ and depth $L$, recent works have proven the supper approximation rate $\mathcal{O}((WL)^{-2s/d})$ for Besov space $\mathcal{B}^s_{q,r}([0,1]^d)$ under the Sobolev embedding condition $s/d>1/q-1/p$. In order to overcome the curse of dimensionality in this rate, we extent this result to anisotropic and mixed smooth function classes. We establish the approximation rate $\mathcal{O}((WL)^{-2\tilde{s}})$ for anisotropic Besov space $\mathcal{B}^{\boldsymbol{s}}_{q,r}([0,1]^d)$ with anisotropic smoothness $\boldsymbol{s}=(s_1,\dots,s_d)$ under the embedding condition $\tilde{s} > 1/q-1/p$, where the mean smoothness $\tilde{s} = (\sum_{i=1}^d s_i^{-1})^{-1}$. For mixed smooth Besov space $\mathcal{MB}^s_{q,r}([0,1]^d)$ with mixed smoothness $s>1/q-1/p$, we show that the approximation rate $\mathcal{O}((WL)^{-2s})$ holds up to logarithmic factors. Using these results, we also derive approximation bounds for the composition of anisotropic Besov functions. As an application, it is shown that deep ReLU neural networks can achieve minimax optimal rates up to logarithmic factors for a wide range of smooth function classes.

US measure to deepen Israel military cooperation faces bipartisan pushback

Al Jazeera

Two lawmakers in the United States Congress are pushing to repeal a section in an upcoming defence budget that would deepen integration between the US and Israeli militaries. Their effort comes amid outcry against the latest draft of the annual National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), a bill that sets the budget for the US military. On Sunday, Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna said he would use his seat on the House Armed Services Committee to put forward an amendment to remove Section 224 from the bill. His Republican colleague Thomas Massie also warned that, if the bill is approved by the committee, he would work to oppose it on the floor of the House of Representatives. He framed the issue as a question of US independence from foreign governments.


US Congress moves to deepen military ties with Israel: Why it matters

Al Jazeera

Why Iran won't give up Hormuz Could Israel sabotage US-Iran deal? Lawmakers in the United States are quietly advancing a proposal that could deepen military ties between the US and Israel in unprecedented ways, at a time when public support for Israel among Americans is increasingly fractured. Among the provisions included in the 2027 National Defence Authorisation Act (NDAA) released this week is Section 224, the "United States-Israel Defence Technology Cooperation Initiative". Some legislators have already signalled opposition, with Representative Thomas Massie saying he would seek to remove the provision if it reaches the House floor. The measure remains at an early stage, but analysts say if passed, it would limit political oversight over the defence relationship.

Japan, Philippines to discuss surface-to-ship missile exports

The Japan Times

A Japan Ground Self-Defense Force Type-88 surface-to-ship missile is fired during the Balikatan exercises at Culili Point Sand Dunes in Paoay, Ilocos Norte province, Philippines, on May 6. | REUTERS Singapore - Defense Minister Shinjiro Koizumi and his Philippine counterpart, Gilberto Teodoro, affirmed Sunday that talks will be launched on the export of surface-to-ship missiles from Japan to the Southeast Asian nation. Koizumi revealed this in talks with reporters after holding a meeting with the Philippine defense chief in Singapore earlier in the day. Type-88 surface-to-ship guided missiles of Japan's Ground Self-Defense Force are expected to be up for consideration. The Philippine side is believed to have shown an interest in procuring the missiles as the Self-Defense Forces used them in the Balikatan multilateral exercises conducted in Manila between April and May. The SDF, which had taken part in the annual exercises organized by the United States and the Philippines as an observer since 2012, joined the drills on a full scale for the first time this year following the entry into force of the Japan-Philippine reciprocal access agreement in September 2025. The possible procurement of Type-88 missiles is expected to help reinforce the deterrent and response capabilities of the Philippines, which is in a territorial dispute with China in the South China Sea.


War or peace? Colombians choose destiny in high-stakes vote

The Japan Times

Bogota - Colombians vote Sunday in a presidential election that will determine the conflict-ridden nation's response to spiraling violence, either staying left and opting for dialogue or tacking right towards all-out war. The constitution forbids a second term for the country's first-ever leftist President Gustavo Petro, whose "total peace" strategy has failed to negotiate an end to conflict with armed groups. Despite his absence from the ballot, "the campaign revolves around Petro," said Yann Basset, political science professor at Bogota's University of Rosario.
