An Efficient Candidate-Free R-S Set Similarity Join Algorithm with the Filter-and-Verification Tree and MapReduce
Given two different collections of sets, the exact set similarity R-S Join finds all set pairs with similarity no less than a given threshold, which has widespread applications. While existing algorithms accelerate large-scale R-S Joins using a two-stage filter-and-verification framework along with the parallel and distributed MapReduce framework, they suffer from excessive candidate set pairs, leading to significant I/O, data transfer, and verification overhead, and ultimately degrading the pe…

On Efficient Bayesian Exploration in Model-Based Reinforcement Learning
In this work, we address the challenge of data-efficient exploration in reinforcement learning by examining existing principled, information-theoretic approaches to intrinsic motivation. Specifically, we focus on a class of exploration bonuses that targets epistemic uncertainty rather than the aleatoric noise inherent in the environment. We prove that these bonuses naturally signal epistemic information gains and converge to zero once the agent becomes sufficiently certain about the environment…

Ah, ook binnen het CDA voldoende (te veel) Christofascisten. Maar laf, want anoniem.
Bah.

Gemor binnen CDA over tegenstem Tweede Kamerfractie over asielwetten
In het CDA klinkt gemor over het besluit van de CDA-Tweede Kamerfractie om tegen de wetten te stemmen die het asielbeleid strenger maken. "Een domme fout", moppert een voormalig CDA-bewindspersoon.

Adapting Language Models to Indonesian Local Languages: An Empirical Study of Language Transferability on Zero-Shot Settings
In this paper, we investigate the transferability of pre-trained language models to low-resource Indonesian local languages through the task of sentiment analysis. We evaluate both zero-shot performance and adapter-based transfer on ten local languages using models of different types: a monolingual Indonesian BERT, multilingual models such as mBERT and XLM-R, and a modular adapter-based approach called MAD-X. To better understand model behavior, we group the target languages into three categori…

From Promise to Peril: Rethinking Cybersecurity Red and Blue Teaming in the Age of LLMs
Large Language Models (LLMs) are set to reshape cybersecurity by augmenting red and blue team operations. Red teams can exploit LLMs to plan attacks, craft phishing content, simulate adversaries, and generate exploit code. Conversely, blue teams may deploy them for threat intelligence synthesis, root cause analysis, and streamlined documentation. This dual capability introduces both transformative potential and serious risks. This position paper maps LLM applications across cybersecurity fram…

A NICER view of the 1.4 solar-mass edge-on pulsar PSR J0614--3329
Four neutron star radius measurements have already been obtained by modeling the X-ray pulses of rotation-powered millisecond pulsars observed by the Neutron Star Interior Composition ExploreR (NICER). We report here the radius measurement of PSR J0614$-$3329 employing the same method with NICER and XMM-Newton data using Bayesian Inference. For all different models tested, including one with unrestricted inclination prior, we retrieve very similar non-antipodal hot regions geometries and radii.…
