Studios are rereleasing old films in theaters, helping them pad out thin slates; Universal has 12 rereleases on its 2025 slate, vs. four in 2024 and two in 2023 (Esther Zuckerman/New York Times)

Why ‘Black Swan,’ ‘Jaws’ and ‘Clue’ Are Coming Back to Theaters
The multiplex is awash in titles that are 15, 20, even 60 years old. Nostalgia is a factor but economics play a big part, too.

Optimization of Flying Ad Hoc Network Topology and Collaborative Path Planning for Multiple UAVs
Multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) play a vital role in monitoring and data collection in wide area environments with harsh conditions. In most scenarios, issues such as real-time data retrieval and real-time UAV positioning are often disregarded, essentially neglecting the communication constraints. In this paper, we comprehensively address both the coverage of the target area and the data transmission capabilities of the flying ad hoc network (FANET). The data throughput of the network …

Generative Diffusion Receivers: Achieving Pilot-Efficient MIMO-OFDM Communications
This paper focuses on wireless multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)-orthogonal frequency division multiplex (OFDM) receivers. Traditional wireless receivers have relied on mathematical modeling and Bayesian inference, achieving remarkable success in most areas but falling short in their ability to characterize channel matrices. Neural networks (NNs) have demonstrated significant potential in this aspect. Nevertheless, integrating traditional inference methods with NNs presents challenges, part…

On using AI for EEG-based BCI applications: problems, current challenges and future trends
Imagine unlocking the power of the mind to communicate, create, and even interact with the world around us. Recent breakthroughs in Artificial Intelligence (AI), especially in how machines "see" and "understand" language, are now fueling exciting progress in decoding brain signals from scalp electroencephalography (EEG). Prima facie, this opens the door to revolutionary brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) designed for real life, moving beyond traditional uses to envision Brain-to-Speech, Brain-to-…

Revisiting Compositional Generalization Capability of Large Language Models Considering Instruction Following Ability
In generative commonsense reasoning tasks such as CommonGen, generative large language models (LLMs) compose sentences that include all given concepts. However, when focusing on instruction-following capabilities, if a prompt specifies a concept order, LLMs must generate sentences that adhere to the specified order. To address this, we propose Ordered CommonGen, a benchmark designed to evaluate the compositional generalization and instruction-following abilities of LLMs. This benchmark measures…

I'll be damned
With the fear in us
We chose the violent side of things in all
We always have chosen blood and gore above others
I'll be damned
With the fear in us
We walk with silent mouths throughout it all
We believe what we think we saw, it's coming
Unforeseen, the violence of this dream
This nightmare we conceived
The falling of this world we try to kill
Instead these empty words
Fills up th…
