How self-efficacious are secondary students in using ICT? Latent profiles and associated antecedents
Students’ effective use of Information and communication technologies (ICT) is closely associated with their ICT self-efficacy. However, previous related research has often treated students as a homogeneous group and overlooked individual differences in their ICT self-efficacy. A...

Epistemic norms for AI safety and alignment research
Abstract Mainstream AI research emphasises capability growth and tolerates low failure rates when average-case performance is high. AI safety and alignment research has a different mission: to ensure that catastrophic failures never occur, under sparse evidence, adversarial dynam...

Fourier-Support Rigidity in Conjugate Weil Sectors: A No-Go Result for Rank-Based Quantum Signatures
We prove an exact, unconditional identity in the finite Weil (oscillator) representation of the Heisenberg group $\mathrm{Heis}_3(\mathbb{Z}/q\mathbb{Z})$, $q$ an odd prime: for every complete (inversion-symmetric) BFS shell of the Cayley graph $\mathrm{Cay}(\mathrm{Heis}_3(\math...
