Abstract: A system is provided for identifying a source language model that generated an input text. The system may tokenize the input text to generate a token sequence and execute a surrogate neural language model on the token sequence to obtain output logits representing internal inference states of the surrogate neural language model. The system may generate context loss sequences by computing cross-entropy losses between output logits and adjacent tokens within a fixed context window. From the context loss sequences, the system may extract a multi-dimensional inference pattern tensor that includes independent pattern features derived from individual context loss sequences and correlated pattern features derived from pairwise relationships between context loss sequences. A classifier model is executed based on the multi-dimensional inference pattern tensor to identify an originating language model associated with the input text.

Abstract: A metalenslet beam homogenizer offers an alternative to classical beam homogenization techniques by leveraging flat optical metasurfaces. The metalenslet beam homogenizer would be beneficial, for example, for high power laser applications, such as laser material processing, digital projection, optical lithography, and additive manufacturing in which it is necessary to expose a certain area on a workpiece to a well-defined amount of optical radiation.

It does so by using nanophotonic metasurface lenses and offers higher homogenization quality by mitigating the impact of diffraction and reducing the size of the optical system by combining the functionality of multiple optical elements into fewer devices.
