MaXIFE: Multilingual and Cross-lingual Instruction Following Evaluation
With the rapid adoption of large language models (LLMs) in natural language processing, the ability to follow instructions has emerged as a key metric for evaluating their practical utility. However, existing evaluation methods often focus on single-language scenarios, overlooking the challenges and differences present in multilingual and cross-lingual contexts. To address this gap, we introduce MaXIFE: a comprehensive evaluation benchmark designed to assess instruction-following capabilities a…

iRonCub 3: The Jet-Powered Flying Humanoid Robot
This article presents iRonCub 3, a jet-powered humanoid robot, and its first flight experiments. Unlike traditional aerial vehicles, iRonCub 3 aims to achieve flight using a full-body humanoid form, which poses unique challenges in control, estimation, and system integration. We highlight the robot's current mechanical and software architecture, including its propulsion system, control framework, and experimental infrastructure. The control and estimation framework is first validated in simulat…

MERIT: Multilingual Semantic Retrieval with Interleaved Multi-Condition Query
Semantic retrieval is crucial for modern applications yet remains underexplored in current research. Existing datasets are limited to single languages, single images, or singular retrieval conditions, often failing to fully exploit the expressive capacity of visual information as evidenced by maintained performance when images are replaced with captions. However, practical retrieval scenarios frequently involve interleaved multi-condition queries with multiple images. Hence, this paper introduc…

State Similarity in Modular Superconducting Quantum Processors with Classical Communications
As quantum devices continue to scale, distributed quantum computing emerges as a promising strategy for executing large-scale tasks across modular quantum processors. A central challenge in this paradigm is verifying the correctness of computational outcomes when subcircuits are executed independently following circuit cutting. Here we propose a cross-platform fidelity estimation algorithm tailored for modular architectures. Our method achieves substantial reductions in sample complexity compar…

Electronic structure reorganization in MPS3 via d-shell-selective alkali metal doping
Semiconducting two-dimensional (2D) antiferromagnetic (AFM) transition-metal thiophosphates (MPS3) offer promising opportunities for spintronic applications due to their highly tunable electronic properties. While alloying and intercalation have been shown to modulate ground states, the role of d-shell filling in governing these transitions remains insufficiently understood. Here, we investigate electron doping effects in MPS3 using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), X-ray photo…

Verbindungen zwischen #AfD und Nachwuchs-#Nazis sieht die Regierung auf Anfrage nicht, dabei sind diese Verbindungen nicht von der Hand zu weisen, wie der Artikel in der #taz zeigt.

AfD und Junge Neonazis: Distanzierung Fehlanzeige
Die Bundesregierung behauptet, es gebe keine strukturellen Verbindungen zwischen AfD und Nachwuchs-Nazis. Das ist in mehrfacher Hinsicht falsch.

When was the first middle-finger used to denote contempt in a (mainstream) film? I don't know but there is an instance of it in Sergio Leone's 1971 Giù la testa (Duck, You Sucker / A Fistful of Dynamite).
This was perpetrated by Rod Steiger. In this film he and James Coburn also make a solid case that Keanu Reeves' accent in Bram Stoker's Dracula was not even close to being the worst in film history.

A highly sensitive SF$_6$-based leak test system for JUNO 3-inch PMT underwater electronics boxes
A total of 25600 3-inch photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), along with their corresponding frontend electronics, have been installed at the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO). These electronics are housed in 200 stainless steel boxes that operate underwater. To verify the sealing integrity of the underwater boxes following integration, we developed an SF$_6$-based leak test system, opting against the typical helium-based system due to helium's ability to penetrate the PMT glass. After a…
