(And now @… are less than €19,000 away from their stretch target of € 75,000 to provide @… services to all. Amazing work folks and fedizens 🤩)
#Fediverse is amazing, less than 24 hours after I posted this and @peertube  is only €223 from the penultimate target with 30 hours to go.
Not taking any credit for that, but happy to see a chord has been struck for all genuine surveillance-capital-free social media. Even more important in the time of #NoKings.
Looks like I'm going to be busy making #Science videos on #ClimateChange in the #Polar Regions too for the next few weeks.
Here's one I made earlier on #SurfaceMass Budget. Let me know if there's something #Climate and/or #ice related you'd like to see a short clip about and I'll see what we can do
#fedizens who may not have seen this already? If they make the €55,000 target I promise to write a peertube channel into my next grant proposal, AND I'll post some better quality videos of our Greenland and #Antarctic research over the coming weeks...
Go!

#bigTech derisory) amount of EUR 75,000 to develop the opensource #fediverse competitor app to Youtube. Maybe chuck 'em a few euros if you think it useful?

A relax-fix-and-exclude algorithm for an MINLP problem with multilinear interpolations
This paper introduces a novel algorithm for Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Programming (MINLP) problems with multilinear interpolations of look-up tables. These problems arise when objective or constraints contain black-box functions only known at a finite set of evaluations on a predefined grid. We derive a piecewise-linear relaxation for the multilinear constraints resulting from the multilinear interpolations used to approximate the true functions. Supported by the fact that our proposed relaxation…

Optimal Transport Driven Asymmetric Image-to-Image Translation for Nuclei Segmentation of Histological Images

Optimal Transport Driven Asymmetric Image-to-Image Translation for Nuclei Segmentation of Histological Images
Segmentation of nuclei regions from histological images enables morphometric analysis of nuclei structures, which in turn helps in the detection and diagnosis of diseases under consideration. To develop a nuclei segmentation algorithm, applicable to different types of target domain representations, image-to-image translation networks can be considered as they are invariant to target domain image representations. One of the important issues with image-to-image translation models is that they fai…

Understanding the Error Sensitivity of Privacy-Aware Computing
Homomorphic Encryption (HE) enables secure computation on encrypted data without decryption, allowing a great opportunity for privacy-preserving computation. In particular, domains such as healthcare, finance, and government, where data privacy and security are of utmost importance, can benefit from HE by enabling third-party computation and services on sensitive data. In other words, HE constitutes the "Holy Grail" of cryptography: data remains encrypted all the time, being protected while in …

Position is Power: System Prompts as a Mechanism of Bias in Large Language Models (LLMs)
System prompts in Large Language Models (LLMs) are predefined directives that guide model behaviour, taking precedence over user inputs in text processing and generation. LLM deployers increasingly use them to ensure consistent responses across contexts. While model providers set a foundation of system prompts, deployers and third-party developers can append additional prompts without visibility into others' additions, while this layered implementation remains entirely hidden from end-users. As…

Only problem is I would need PeerTube I think unless I want to really trash the resolution...
