Krieg in der Ukraine: Was, wenn der Ukraine die Kraft ausgeht?

dutch_school: Dutch school friendships (2003)
A series of snapshots of the friendships among freshmen at secondary school in The Netherlands, in 2003-2004. Friendship ties were surveyed four times, at three month intervals. The direction of an edge indicates that student i is friends with student j. Missing data is coded as 0 or 10. Metadata includes sex, age, ethnicity, and religion.
This network has 26 nodes and 91 edges.

Exploring the role of sample thickness for hyperspectral microscopy tissue discrimination through Monte Carlo simulations
Recent advancements in multispectral (MS) and hyperspectral (HS) microscopy have focused on sensor and system improvements, yet sample processing remains overlooked. We conducted an analysis of the literature, revealing that 40 percent of studies do not report sample thickness. Among those that did report it, the vast majority, 98 percent, used 2 to 10 micrometer samples. This study investigates the impact of unstained sample thickness on MS/HS image quality through light transport simulations.…

Towards Fair Rankings: Leveraging LLMs for Gender Bias Detection and Measurement
The presence of social biases in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Information Retrieval (IR) systems is an ongoing challenge, which underlines the importance of developing robust approaches to identifying and evaluating such biases. In this paper, we aim to address this issue by leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs) to detect and measure gender bias in passage ranking. Existing gender fairness metrics rely on lexical- and frequency-based measures, leading to various limitations, e.g., mi…

BANG: Dividing 3D Assets via Generative Exploded Dynamics
3D creation has always been a unique human strength, driven by our ability to deconstruct and reassemble objects using our eyes, mind and hand. However, current 3D design tools struggle to replicate this natural process, requiring considerable artistic expertise and manual labor. This paper introduces BANG, a novel generative approach that bridges 3D generation and reasoning, allowing for intuitive and flexible part-level decomposition of 3D objects. At the heart of BANG is "Generative Exploded…

Contractive representations of odometer semigroup
Given a natural number $n \geq 1$, the odometer semigroup $O_n$, also known as the adding machine or the Baumslag-Solitar monoid with two generators, is a well-known object in group theory. This paper examines the odometer semigroup in relation to representations of bounded linear operators. We focus on noncommutative operators and prove that contractive representations of $O_n$ always admit to nicer representations of $O_n$. We give a complete description of representations of $O_n$ on the Foc…

The Carbon Cost of Conversation, Sustainability in the Age of Language Models
Large language models (LLMs) like GPT-3 and BERT have revolutionized natural language processing (NLP), yet their environmental costs remain dangerously overlooked. This article critiques the sustainability of LLMs, quantifying their carbon footprint, water usage, and contribution to e-waste through case studies of models such as GPT-4 and energy-efficient alternatives like Mistral 7B. Training a single LLM can emit carbon dioxide equivalent to hundreds of cars driven annually, while data centr…
