Exploring MLLMs Perception of Network Visualization Principles
In this paper, we test whether Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) can match human-subject performance in tasks involving the perception of properties in network layouts. Specifically, we replicate a human-subject experiment about perceiving quality (namely stress) in network layouts using GPT-4o and Gemini-2.5. Our experiments show that giving MLLMs exactly the same study information as trained human participants results in a similar performance to human experts and exceeds the performanc…

Somehow I got myself on this mailing list, every month or 3 they send a list of used printing equipment in Europe. I actually enjoy glancing at it, definitely a Heavy Metal vibe, for example this thing, made in 2011, has printed 137M impressions, and can be yours for a mere 420,000€. Free shipping probably not available.

Vela: Scalable Embeddings with Voice Large Language Models for Multimodal Retrieval
Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have seen substantial progress in recent years. However, their ability to represent multimodal information in the acoustic domain remains underexplored. In this work, we introduce Vela, a novel framework designed to adapt MLLMs for the generation of universal multimodal embeddings. By leveraging MLLMs with specially crafted prompts and selected in-context learning examples, Vela effectively bridges the modality gap across various modalities. We then prop…

Quand les gros contribuables négocient leurs redressements fiscaux
En 2024, l’Etat a conclu des accords amiables avec 92 particuliers et 223 entreprises en délicatesse avec le fisc. Les montants demandés ont été réduits de 71,5 %. Bercy a ainsi renoncé à 1,9 milliard d’euros, un record. Une pratique contestée par un rapport parlementaire.
