A Careful Examination of Large Behavior Models for Multitask Dexterous Manipulation
Robot manipulation has seen tremendous progress in recent years, with imitation learning policies enabling successful performance of dexterous and hard-to-model tasks. Concurrently, scaling data and model size has led to the development of capable language and vision foundation models, motivating large-scale efforts to create general-purpose robot foundation models. While these models have garnered significant enthusiasm and investment, meaningful evaluation of real-world performance remains a …

Kämpfe im Osten der Ukraine gehen weiter
Russische und ukrainische Truppen haben ihre Kämpfe im Osten der Ukraine fortgesetzt. Insgesamt seien im Tagesverlauf 65 bewaffnete Zusammenstöße registriert worden, teilte der ukrainische Generalstab am späten Nachmittag mit. Die Frontberichte konnten nicht unabhängig überprüft werden. Als Schwerpunkte der Kämpfe galten Kupjansk sowie Pokrowsk. Bei Kupjansk seien die ukrainischen Stel…

Ukraine-Liveblog: ++ Rubio hält Waffenruhe weiter für möglich ++
Laut US-Außenminister Rubio ist nach dem Treffen von Trump und Putin ein Waffenruhe noch nicht vom Tisch. Neben Merz und von der Leyen reisen auch die Staats- und Regierungschefs von Italien, Frankreich und Finnland nach Washington.

Fair Data Exchange with Constant-Time Proofs
The Fair Data Exchange (FDE) protocol introduced at CCS 2024 offers atomic pay-per-file transfers with constant-size proofs, but its prover and verifier runtimes still scale linearly with the file length n. We collapse these costs to essentially constant by viewing the file as a rate-1 Reed-Solomon (RS) codeword, extending it to a lower-rate RS code with constant redundancy, encrypting this extended vector, and then proving correctness for only a small random subset of the resulting ciphertexts…

Excising Cauchy Horizons with Nonlinear Electrodynamics
Charged and/or rotating black holes in General Relativity feature Cauchy horizons, which indicate a breakdown of predictability in the theory. Focusing on spherically symmetric charged black holes, we remark that the inevitability of Reissner-Nordstrom Cauchy horizon is due to the divergent electromagnetic self-energy of point charges. We demonstrate that any causal theory of nonlinear electrodynamics that regularizes the point charge self-energy also eliminates Cauchy horizons for weakly charg…

Inference Time Debiasing Concepts in Diffusion Models
We propose DeCoDi, a debiasing procedure for text-to-image diffusion-based models that changes the inference procedure, does not significantly change image quality, has negligible compute overhead, and can be applied in any diffusion-based image generation model. DeCoDi changes the diffusion process to avoid latent dimension regions of biased concepts. While most deep learning debiasing methods require complex or compute-intensive interventions, our method is designed to change only the inferen…

Coexistence of anomalous spin dynamics and weak magnetic order in a chiral trillium lattice K2FeSn(PO4)3
Trillium lattices, where magnetic ions form a three-dimensional chiral network of corner-sharing equilateral triangular motifs, offer a prominent platform to explore exotic quantum states. In this work, we report ground-state properties of the $S$ = 5/2 trillium lattice compound K$_{2}$FeSn(PO$_{4}$)$_{3}$ through thermodynamic, electron spin resonance (ESR), and muon spin relaxation ($μ$SR) experiments. Thermodynamic and ESR measurements reveal the two-step evolution of magnetic correlations …
