Sensitivity and transitivity for the induced maps on symmetric product suspensions of a topological space
Given a nondegenerate compact perfect and Hausdorff topological space $X$,$n\in \mathbb{N}$ and a function $f:X\rightarrow X$, we consider the $n$-fold symmetric product of $X$, $F_n(X)$ and the induced function $F_n(f):F_n(X)\rightarrow F_n(X)$. If $n\geq2$, we consider the $n$-fold symmetric product suspension of $X$, $SF_n(X)$ and the induced function$SF_n(f):SF_n(X)\rightarrow SF_n(X)$. In this paper, we study the relationships between the following statements: (1) $f\in \mathcal{M}$,(2) $F…

Finslerian lightconvex boundaries: applications to causal simplicity and the space of cone geodesics $\mathcal{N}$
Our outcome is structured in the following sequence: (1) a general result for indefinite Finslerian manifolds with boundary $(M,L)$ showing the equivalence between local and infinitesimal (time, light or space) convexities for the boundary $\partial M$, (2) for any cone structure $(M,\mathcal{C})$ which is globally hyperbolic with timelike boundary, the equivalence among: (a) the boundary $\partial M$ is lightconvex, (b) the interior $\mathring{M}$ is causally simple and (c) the space of the co…

Building on the 90s, statistical n-gram language models, trained on vast text collections, became the backbone of NLP research. They fueled advancements in nearly all NLP techniques of the era, laying the groundwork for today's AI.

Recently I had a flashback to me telling a friend that I was about to start learning a new concept in programming. Classes. I remember feeling nervous because I felt it was this huge complicated topic, and I already felt my brain was 'full' so-to-speak with programming knowledge. Well that was years ago and now I can't imagine not using classes. It's amazing to look back and see progress! #coding

NAVER LABS Europe Submission to the Instruction-following Track
In this paper we describe NAVER LABS Europe submission to the instruction-following speech processing short track at IWSLT 2025. We participate in the constrained settings, developing systems that can simultaneously perform ASR, ST, and SQA tasks from English speech input into the following target languages: Chinese, Italian, and German. Our solution leverages two pretrained modules: (1) a speech-to-LLM embedding projector trained using representations from the SeamlessM4T-v2-large speech encod…
