I have long been opposed to Jury Nullification. However, I recognize that it happens.
(I was a juror once in an extremely clear cut criminal case where one of the other jurors clearly did not want to besmirch the defendant and wanted to punish the homosexual victim, so she caused us become a "hung jury.". The other eleven of us were very angry at her clear, but successful, nullification of the law.)
Today my reluctance to support jury nullification has diminished, eve…

SWE-bench Goes Live!
The issue-resolving task, where a model generates patches to fix real-world bugs, has emerged as a critical benchmark for evaluating the capabilities of large language models (LLMs). While SWE-bench and its variants have become standard in this domain, they suffer from key limitations: they have not been updated since their initial releases, cover a narrow set of repositories, and depend heavily on manual effort for instance construction and environment setup. These factors hinder scalability a…

Game-Theoretic Gradient Control for Robust Neural Network Training
Feed-forward neural networks (FFNNs) are vulnerable to input noise, reducing prediction performance. Existing regularization methods like dropout often alter network architecture or overlook neuron interactions. This study aims to enhance FFNN noise robustness by modifying backpropagation, interpreted as a multi-agent game, and exploring controlled target variable noising. Our "gradient dropout" selectively nullifies hidden layer neuron gradients with probability 1 - p during backpropagation, w…

Analysis of Null Related Beampattern Measures and Signal Quantization Effects for Linear Differential Microphone Arrays
A differential microphone array (DMA) offers enhanced capabilities to obtain sharp nulls at the cost of relatively broad peaks in the beam power pattern. This can be used for applications that require nullification or attenuation of interfering sources. To the best of our knowledge, the existing literature lacks measures that directly assess the efficacy of nulls, and null-related measures have not been investigated in the context of differential microphone arrays (DMAs). This paper offers new …
