“Service academies to accept conservative alternative to SAT and ACT”
And it is called the CLT?
They’ll have to find it first.
Hey oh!

Frag mich ob die Analogie zu "KI"-Lernen funkioniert:
Whats the point of "AI" Feedback, if I still have to pay a teacher to fix it?
Wenn wir annehmen, dass Lernen ein ähnlich komplexer Vorgang wie programmieren ist, dann können wir das übertragen. Vielleicht ist ja "KI"-Lernen wenig mehr als ein Rollenspiel für Leute, die sich wie Lehrende fühlen wollen, ohne die eigentliche Arbeit zu machen.
Bringt uns der Begriff vibe learning weiter?

Advancing Conversational AI with Shona Slang: A Dataset and Hybrid Model for Digital Inclusion
African languages remain underrepresented in natural language processing (NLP), with most corpora limited to formal registers that fail to capture the vibrancy of everyday communication. This work addresses this gap for Shona, a Bantu language spoken in Zimbabwe and Zambia, by introducing a novel Shona--English slang dataset curated from anonymized social media conversations. The dataset is annotated for intent, sentiment, dialogue acts, code-mixing, and tone, and is publicly available at https…

So breit, dass sich zwei Menschen in Rollstühlen ungestört begegnen können und so breit, dass wir auch noch mit Rollator Seite an Seite durch unsere Ortschaften spazieren können. So lange und so sicher wie möglich.
Dazu reicht ein Fußweg in ganz normaler Parkplatzbreite - 2m für Miteinander und 2,5 damit man auch aneinander vorbei kommt.

Was vielleicht sehr wenige Leute wissen, ist, dass man im Programm der FrOSCon die Vorträge bewerten kann.
Macht das bitte, es ist eine tolle Möglichkeit, Feedback zu geben und für die Vortragenden eine Möglichkeit besser zu werden. Die können die Bewertungen anonym im Frab sehen.

SynBench: A Benchmark for Differentially Private Text Generation
Data-driven decision support in high-stakes domains like healthcare and finance faces significant barriers to data sharing due to regulatory, institutional, and privacy concerns. While recent generative AI models, such as large language models, have shown impressive performance in open-domain tasks, their adoption in sensitive environments remains limited by unpredictable behaviors and insufficient privacy-preserving datasets for benchmarking. Existing anonymization methods are often inadequate…

Proceedings 18th Interaction and Concurrency Experience
This volume contains the proceedings of ICE'25, the 18th Interaction and Concurrency Experience, which was held on Friday 20th June 2025 at the École National Supérieure des Arts et Métiers in Lille, France, as a satellite workshop of DisCoTec 2025. The ICE workshop series features a distinguishing review and selection procedure: PC members are encouraged to interact, anonymously, with authors. The 2025 edition of ICE received 7 submissions, each reviewed by three PC members, and about 75 co…

Measuring Soft Biometric Leakage in Speaker De-Identification Systems
We use the term re-identification to refer to the process of recovering the original speaker's identity from anonymized speech outputs. Speaker de-identification systems aim to reduce the risk of re-identification, but most evaluations focus only on individual-level measures and overlook broader risks from soft biometric leakage. We introduce the Soft Biometric Leakage Score (SBLS), a unified method that quantifies resistance to zero-shot inference attacks on non-unique traits such as channel t…

It takes a village to write a book: Mapping anonymous contributions in Stephen Langton's Quaestiones Theologiae
While the indirect evidence suggests that already in the early scholastic period the literary production based on records of oral teaching (so-called reportationes) was not uncommon, there are very few sources commenting on the practice. This paper details the design of a study applying stylometric techniques of authorship attribution to a collection developed from reportationes -- Stephen Langton's Quaestiones Theologiae -- aiming to uncover layers of editorial work and thus validate some hypo…
