FedChip: Federated LLM for Artificial Intelligence Accelerator Chip Design
AI hardware design is advancing rapidly, driven by the promise of design automation to make chip development faster, more efficient, and more accessible to a wide range of users. Amongst automation tools, Large Language Models (LLMs) offer a promising solution by automating and streamlining parts of the design process. However, their potential is hindered by data privacy concerns and the lack of domain-specific training. To address this, we introduce FedChip, a Federated fine-tuning approach th…

Fermi velocity and magic angle renormalization in twisted bilayer graphene
We discuss the Fermi-velocity renormalization in twisted bilayer graphene due to Coulomb exchange interaction within an atomistic tight-binding model. Adopting the Slater-Koster parametrization for the hopping parameters obtained from first principles, our results only depend on the effective dielectric constant $ε$ and the Hubbard-interaction $U$. The Fermi velocity of graphene increases twist-angle independent by $~25\%$ for $ε=10$ and $U=4eV$, leading to an increase by more than $100\%$ of…

Macroscopic coherence and vorticity in room-temperature polariton condensate confined in a self-assembled perovskite microcavity
Exciton-polariton Bose-Einstein condensation at room temperature offers a promising pathway toward quantum photonic technologies that can operate under ambient conditions. A key challenge in this field is to engineer a controlled platform where strong confinement, nonlinear interactions, and structural disorder coexist, unlocking access to rich collective behavior and unconventional condensate dynamics. We demonstrate polariton condensation in CsPbBr$_3$ microplatelets that self-assemble into w…

How to Get Actual Privacy and Utility from Privacy Models: the k-Anonymity and Differential Privacy Families
Privacy models were introduced in privacy-preserving data publishing and statistical disclosure control with the promise to end the need for costly empirical assessment of disclosure risk. We examine how well this promise is kept by the main privacy models. We find they may fail to provide adequate protection guarantees because of problems in their definition or incur unacceptable trade-offs between privacy protection and utility preservation. Specifically, k-anonymity may not entirely exclude …

Generative AI in Game Development: A Qualitative Research Synthesis
Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) has had a tremendous impact on game production and promises lasting transformations. In the last five years since GenAI's inception, several studies, typically via qualitative methods, have explored its impact on game production from different settings and demographic angles. However, these studies often contextualise and consolidate their findings weakly with related work, and a big picture view is still missing. Here, we aim to provide such a view of…

What Vance expressed to the friendly Claremont audience was a dramatically reduced vision of American citizenship.
It’s one in which having ancestors who have lived here for generations entitles you to more;
a vision of citizenship that’s long existed around the world, with a notable and aspirational exception in the United States.
“Identifying America just with agreeing with the principles, let’s say, of the Declaration of Independence — that’s a definition that is way ove…

Enhancing Robust Multi-Market Participation of Renewable-Based VPPs through Flexible Resources
In the transition toward a sustainable power system, renewable-based Virtual Power Plants (RVPPs) have emerged as a promising solution to the challenges of integrating renewable energy sources into electricity markets. Their viability, however, depends on effective market participation strategies and the ability to manage uncertainties while leveraging flexible resources. This paper analyzes the impact of different flexible resources - such as concentrated solar power plants, hydro plants, biom…
