Video-Based MPAA Rating Prediction: An Attention-Driven Hybrid Architecture Using Contrastive Learning
The rapid growth of visual content consumption across platforms necessitates automated video classification for age-suitability standards like the MPAA rating system (G, PG, PG-13, R). Traditional methods struggle with large labeled data requirements, poor generalization, and inefficient feature learning. To address these challenges, we employ contrastive learning for improved discrimination and adaptability, exploring three frameworks: Instance Discrimination, Contextual Contrastive Learning, …

Been to the hospital and had the cast removed.
Should make typing easier.
More pain now than when I first went there though. RSI aggravated by the cast. Thumb fucked up by the cast. Wrist hurts when moved.
Apparently I'm to stretch the wrist slowly and gradually recover mobility like wrist yoga. Physio to come maybe.
Have booked a massage for tomorrow to try and realign my frame, all fucked up by the cast and the sitting around for a month.
Do not recommend fracturing bones in your arm. It's an bad scene man.

Loher: Wenn das Gutachten nicht bestätigt hätte, dass ein Festpreis gilt, dann hätte mir das nichts genützt, da die Verträge schon unterschrieben haben. Die Gutachten haben mir eine Zeit lang geholfen, gut zu schlafen. Loher war bei der Ausschreibung noch bei der Konkurrenz (Frankreich) und überrascht, dass die Amerikaner Festpreis anboten. https://download-media.srf.ch/world/audio/Samstagsrundschau_radio/2025/07/Samstagsrundschau_radio_AUDI20250705_NR_0018_1540ee746c1c4dce88a9970a08fb1e8c.mp3?d=ap&assetId=bc16ee81-0b24-32b7-9389-3ee8a132ed4c

Iterative Methods for the Projected Solutions of Quasi-equilibrium Problems
Aussel et al. (J Optim Theory Appl 170 818-837 2016) introduced the concept of projected solutions for the quasi-variational inequalities with a non-self constraint map, that is, the case where the constraint map may take values outside the feasible set. This paper presents two iterative methods to determine the projected solutions for quasi-equilibrium problems (QEP). We prove the convergence of the sequence generated by iterative methods to a projected solution of the QEP under some suitable …

Sycophancy as compositions of Atomic Psychometric Traits
Sycophancy is a key behavioral risk in LLMs, yet is often treated as an isolated failure mode that occurs via a single causal mechanism. We instead propose modeling it as geometric and causal compositions of psychometric traits such as emotionality, openness, and agreeableness - similar to factor decomposition in psychometrics. Using Contrastive Activation Addition (CAA), we map activation directions to these factors and study how different combinations may give rise to sycophancy (e.g., high e…

Flow-dependent tagging of $^{214}$Pb decays in the LZ dark matter detector
The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment is searching for dark matter interactions in a liquid xenon time projection chamber (LXe-TPC). This article demonstrates how control of the flow state in the LXe-TPC enables the identification of pairs of sequential alpha-decays, which are used to map fluid flow and ion drift in the liquid target. The resulting transport model is used to tag $^{214}$Pb beta-decays, a leading background to dark matter signals in LZ. Temporally evolving volume selections, at a cost …
