Researchers have given people a taste of superhuman vision
after creating contact lenses that allow them to see infrared light.
Unlike night vision goggles,
the contact lenses need no power source,
and because they are transparent,
wearers can see infrared and all the normal visible colours of light at the same time

cMALC-D: Contextual Multi-Agent LLM-Guided Curriculum Learning with Diversity-Based Context Blending
Many multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) algorithms are trained in fixed simulation environments, making them brittle when deployed in real-world scenarios with more complex and uncertain conditions. Contextual MARL (cMARL) addresses this by parameterizing environments with context variables and training a context-agnostic policy that performs well across all environment configurations. Existing cMARL methods attempt to use curriculum learning to help train and evaluate context-agnostic p…

Some people think Malta is nimble and innovative when it comes to regulation. But others see a fast track to regulatory arbitrage.

sp_primary_school: Primary school dynamic contacts (2009)
Two temporal networks of contacts among students and teachers at a primary school in Lyon, France, on consecutive days of in October 2009. Each network accumulates all contacts over the course of a single day; contacts were sampled at 20-second intervals.
This network has 242 nodes and 125773 edges.

sp_high_school_new: High school dynamic contacts (2011-2012)
These datasets contain the temporal network of contacts between students in a high school in Marseilles, France. The first dataset gives the contacts of the students of three classes during 4 days in Dec. 2011, and the second corresponds to the contacts of the students of 5 classes during 7 days (from a Monday to the Tuesday of the following week) in Nov. 2012.
This network has 126 nodes and 28561 edges.
