Binsparse: A Specification for Cross-Platform Storage of Sparse Matrices and Tensors
Sparse matrices and tensors are ubiquitous throughout multiple subfields of computing. The widespread usage of sparse data has inspired many in-memory and on-disk storage formats, but the only widely adopted storage specifications are the Matrix Market and FROSTT file formats, which both use ASCII text. Due to the inefficiency of text storage, these files typically have larger file sizes and longer parsing times than binary storage formats, which directly store an in-memory representation to di…

Text-Driven 3D Hand Motion Generation from Sign Language Data
Our goal is to train a generative model of 3D hand motions, conditioned on natural language descriptions specifying motion characteristics such as handshapes, locations, finger/hand/arm movements. To this end, we automatically build pairs of 3D hand motions and their associated textual labels with unprecedented scale. Specifically, we leverage a large-scale sign language video dataset, along with noisy pseudo-annotated sign categories, which we translate into hand motion descriptions via an LLM…

"Sicher Radfahren lernen" fängt damit an Parteien nicht zu wählen, die in ideologischer Verbortheit an jedem Autoprivileg und Parkplatz kleben, als würde die Welt untergehen. Hinterher einen Helm aufsetzen und über Fußgängerampeln schieben ist herumdoktern am Symptom. (Der Fahrradübungsplatz auf den Sülzwiesen ist natürlich trotzdem super).
