Languages Still Left Behind: Toward a Better Multilingual Machine Translation Benchmark
Multilingual machine translation (MT) benchmarks play a central role in evaluating the capabilities of modern MT systems. Among them, the FLORES+ benchmark is widely used, offering English-to-many translation data for over 200 languages, curated with strict quality control protocols. However, we study data in four languages (Asante Twi, Japanese, Jinghpaw, and South Azerbaijani) and uncover critical shortcomings in the benchmark's suitability for truly multilingual evaluation. Human assessments…

Another passenger plane is lost in Russia.
This is the third since the war began. The other two were the Malaysia Airlines plane shot down over Ukraine and the Azerbaijan Airlines plane shot full of shrapnel over Grozny.
Can’t imagine why today’s plane would have been shot at considering it was in the Far East… but we’ll see.
Not sure why anyone would take the risk to fly to a Russian airport these days.

Ukraine lockert Ausreiseverbot für junge Männer
Nach mehr als dreieinhalb Jahren Krieg hebt die ukrainische Regierung das allgemeine Ausreiseverbot für ukrainische Männer, die jünger als 23 Jahre sind, auf. Männer im Alter von 18 bis 22 Jahren könnten dann trotz Kriegsrechts "die Grenze ungehindert überqueren", teilte die neue Ministerpräsidentin Julia Swyrydenko in Kiew mit. Eine entsprechende Verordnung trete demnächst in K…

GATEBLEED: Exploiting On-Core Accelerator Power Gating for High Performance & Stealthy Attacks on AI
As power consumption from AI training and inference continues to increase, AI accelerators are being integrated directly into the CPU. Intel's Advanced Matrix Extensions (AMX) is one such example, debuting on the 4th generation Intel Xeon Scalable CPU. We discover a timing side and covert channel, GATEBLEED, caused by the aggressive power gating utilized to keep the CPU within operating limits. We show that the GATEBLEED side channel is a threat to AI privacy as many ML models such as transform…

Just trying to get more details:
I have heard it said that Adobe's recent "AI" enabled versions of the Acrobat Reader upload a copy of the document to Adobe for the AI analysis and processing.
How much truth is there to this?

User Perceptions and Attitudes Toward Untraceability in Messaging Platforms
Mainstream messaging platforms offer a variety of features designed to enhance user privacy, such as disappearing messages, password-protected chats, and end-to-end encryption (E2EE), which primarily protect message contents. Beyond contents, the transmission of messages generates metadata that can reveal who communicates with whom, when and how often. In this paper, we study user perceptions of "untraceability", i.e., preventing third parties from tracing who communicates with whom, with the g…
