This is a great point and very much translates to so many other parts of life/work where people stop listening to their "body" (or to their org/product/offering), outsourcing/numbing/dumbing down their decision making based on dashboards of col…

Why I Gave Up My Smartwatch
Somewhere between the first time I tapped my wrist to skip a song and the three hundredth time I anxiously checked my resting heart rate, I started to hate my Apple Watch. The promise of the smartwatch was elegance, convenience, optimization. What I got was constant data drip, subtle panic,

Meta-Fair: AI-Assisted Fairness Testing of Large Language Models
Fairness--the absence of unjustified bias--is a core principle in the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems, yet it remains difficult to assess and enforce. Current approaches to fairness testing in large language models (LLMs) often rely on manual evaluation, fixed templates, deterministic heuristics, and curated datasets, making them resource-intensive and difficult to scale. This work aims to lay the groundwork for a novel, automated method for testing fairness in LLMs, reducin…

Enhancing Customer Service Chatbots with Context-Aware NLU through Selective Attention and Multi-task Learning
Customer service chatbots are conversational systems aimed at addressing customer queries, often by directing them to automated workflows. A crucial aspect of this process is the classification of the customer's intent. Presently, most intent classification models for customer care utilise only customer query for intent prediction. This may result in low-accuracy models, which cannot handle ambiguous queries. An ambiguous query like "I didn't receive my package" could indicate a delayed order, …

A Large Catalog of DA White Dwarf Characteristics Using SDSS and Gaia Observations
We present a catalog of 8545 and 19,257 unique DA white dwarfs observed in SDSS Data Release 19 and previous SDSS data releases, respectively. This is the largest catalog of both spectroscopic and photometric measurements of DA white dwarfs available to date, and we make this catalog and all code used to create it publicly available. We measure the apparent radial velocity, spectroscopic effective temperature and surface gravity, and photometric effective temperature and radius for all objects …

Ich habe mir - zu kaum was anderem wegen der Hitze in der Lage - einige Episoden von #ZeroDay angeschaut.
Ich mag Robert de Niro. Ein klasse Schauspieler.
DIe Episoden lassen mich immer wieder an Darth #Trump denken. Auch so ein egomaner und selbstherrlicher Paranoiker - unfähig zur Selbstkritik.

Principles and Policy Recommendations for Comprehensive Genetic Data Governance
Genetic data collection has become ubiquitous, producing genetic information about health, ancestry, and social traits. However, unregulated use, especially amid evolving scientific understanding, poses serious privacy and discrimination risks. These risks are intensified by advancing AI, particularly multi-modal systems integrating genetic, clinical, behavioral, and environmental data. In this work, we organize the uses of genetic data along four distinct "pillars", and develop a risk assessme…

Maximal Matching Matters: Preventing Representation Collapse for Robust Cross-Modal Retrieval
Cross-modal image-text retrieval is challenging because of the diverse possible associations between content from different modalities. Traditional methods learn a single-vector embedding to represent semantics of each sample, but struggle to capture nuanced and diverse relationships that can exist across modalities. Set-based approaches, which represent each sample with multiple embeddings, offer a promising alternative, as they can capture richer and more diverse relationships. In this paper,…
