• Abstract: We employ the resource theory of generalized contextuality as a tool for analyzing the structure of prepare-and-measure scenarios. We argue that this framework simplifies proofs of quantum contextuality in complex scenarios and strengthens existing arguments regarding robustness of experimental implementations. As a case study, we demonstrate quantum contextuality associated with any nontrivial noncontextuality inequality for a class of useful scenarios by noticing a connection between the resource theory and measurement simulability. Additionally, we expose a formal composition rule that allows engineering complex scenarios from simpler ones. This approach provides insights into the noncontextual polytope structure for complex scenarios and facilitates the identification of possible quantum violations of noncontextuality inequalities.

  We introduce a novel structure-oriented analysis method to help Large Language Models (LLMs) better understand a question. To further improve the reliability in complex question-answering tasks, we propose a multi-agent reasoning system, Structure-oriented Autonomous Reasoning Agents (SARA) Extensive experiments verify the effectiveness of the proposed reasoning system. Surprisingly, in some cases, the system even surpasses few-shot methods.

• Generalization Bounds of Surrogate Policies for Combinatorial Optimization Problems [61.580419063416734]
  A recent stream of structured learning approaches has improved the practical state of the art for a range of optimization problems. The key idea is to exploit the statistical distribution over instances instead of dealing with instances separately. In this article, we investigate methods that smooth the risk by perturbing the policy, which eases optimization and improves the generalization error.

  Quantum contextuality is a key nonclassical feature essential for understanding advantages in quantum computation and communication. We introduce a new framework to study contextuality based solely on information processing statistics.

• How Well Do Text Embedding Models Understand Syntax? [50.440590035493074]
  The ability of text embedding models to generalize across a wide range of syntactic contexts remains under-explored. Our findings reveal that existing text embedding models have not sufficiently addressed these syntactic understanding challenges. We propose strategies to augment the generalization ability of text embedding models in diverse syntactic scenarios.

  In this paper, we present CoFe, a test suite to investigate in-context compositional generalization. We find that the compositional generalization performance can be easily affected by the selection of in-context examples. Our systematic experiments indicate that in-context examples should be structurally similar to the test case, diverse from each other, and individually simple.

  We prove that entanglement in a nonlocal scenario can arise only if there is preparation and measurement contextuality. As a direct consequence, our result allows us to translate any inequality for testing preparation and measurement contextuality into an entanglement test.

• Characterising and bounding the set of quantum behaviours in contextuality scenarios [0.0]
  This work defines contextuality scenarios, along with the polytope of general contextual behaviours. We formulate novel semidefinite programming relaxations for bounding these sets of quantum contextual behaviours. Most significantly, to circumvent the inadequacy of pure states and projective measurements, we present a novel unitary operator based semidefinite relaxation technique.

• Bounding and simulating contextual correlations in quantum theory [0.0]
  We introduce a hierarchy of semidefinite relaxations of the set of quantum correlations in generalised contextuality scenarios. We use it to determine the maximal quantum violation of several noncontextuality inequalities whose maximum violations were previously unknown. We then go further and use it to prove that certain preparation-contextual correlations cannot be explained with pure states.
