We investigate a nonsingular initial state of the Universe which leads to inflation naturally. The model is described by a scalar field with a quadratic potential in Eddington-inspired Born-Infeld gravity. The curvature of this initial state is given by the mass scale of the scalar field which is much smaller than the Planck scale. Therefore, in this model, quantum gravity is not necessary in understanding this pre-inflationary stage, no matter how large the energy density becomes. The initial state in this model evolves eventually to a long inflationary period which is similar to the usual chaotic inflation.

  1. Estimating treatment duration effects via clone-censor-weight: a breast cancer case study

    stat.ME 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    The clone-censor-weight approach is formalized and tested via simulations before application to a breast cancer cohort comparing 2 versus 5 years of adjuvant tamoxifen, yielding estimates with substantial uncertainty.

  2. Stabilising Explainability Fragility in Cybersecurity AI: The Impact and Mitigation of Multicollinearity in Public Benchmark Datasets

    cs.LG 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    The paper demonstrates that multicollinearity inflates explanation variance in AI models for intrusion detection and introduces a fragility metric plus two mitigation techniques to stabilize attributions.
