A House Monotonic and Droop Proportional Ranked Candidate Voting Method
A Ranked candidate voting methods based on Phragmen's procedure is described that can be used to produce a top-down proportional candidate list. The method complies with the Droop proportionality criterion satisfied by Single Transferable Vote. It also complies with house monotonicity and independence of irrelevant ballots, properties that are the ranked-candidate analogs of the divisor methods properties of always avoiding the Alabama and New State paradoxes. The highest ranked candidate in th…

Algorithmic resolution of crowd-sourced moderation on X in polarized settings across countries
Social platforms increasingly transition from expert fact-checking to crowd-sourced moderation, with X pioneering this shift through its Community Notes system, enabling users to collaboratively moderate misleading content. To resolve conflicting moderation, Community Notes learns a latent ideological dimension and selects notes garnering cross-partisan support. As this system, designed for and evaluated in the United States, is now deployed worldwide, we evaluate its operation across diverse p…

iDiT-HOI: Inpainting-based Hand Object Interaction Reenactment via Video Diffusion Transformer
Digital human video generation is gaining traction in fields like education and e-commerce, driven by advancements in head-body animation and lip-syncing technologies. However, realistic Hand-Object Interaction (HOI) - the complex dynamics between human hands and objects - continues to pose challenges. Generating natural and believable HOI reenactments is difficult due to issues such as occlusion between hands and objects, variations in object shapes and orientations, and the necessity for prec…

An In-situ Solid Fuel Ramjet Thrust Monitoring and Regulation Framework Using Neural Networks and Adaptive Control
Controlling the complex combustion dynamics within solid fuel ramjets (SFRJs) remains a critical challenge limiting deployment at scale. This paper proposes the use of a neural network model to process in-situ measurements for monitoring and regulating SFRJ thrust with a learning-based adaptive controller. A neural network is trained to estimate thrust from synthetic data generated by a feed-forward quasi-one-dimensional SFRJ model with variable inlet control. An online learning controller base…

Australian Green Party crushed in election after running hard on anti-Israel platform & attacking Labor govt as "complicit in genocide." 1st-choice vote (AU has ranked-vote system) drops from 12.25% to 11.75%, despite gains from Muslim voters. In races where final choice is Green vs Labor, more conservative voters overcome their past distaste for union-dominated Labor & transfers run massively against Greens.
Result: Greens lose at least 2 and maybe all 4 of their seat…

The Greens bet on Gaza and may have lost the House
Greens leader Adam Bandt has suffered a devastating verdict. The party of protest has just discovered it protested far too much.

A Unified Theory of Compositionality, Modularity, and Interpretability in Markov Decision Processes
We introduce Option Kernel Bellman Equations (OKBEs) for a new reward-free Markov Decision Process. Rather than a value function, OKBEs directly construct and optimize a predictive map called a state-time option kernel (STOK) to maximize the probability of completing a goal while avoiding constraint violations. STOKs are compositional, modular, and interpretable initiation-to-termination transition kernels for policies in the Options Framework of Reinforcement Learning. This means: 1) STOKs can…

Very efficient: running Reichstag moment and Kristallnacht reenactment all in one day instead of months apart
I really had hoped the situation would have calmed down over night, just to wake up reading about Trump having setup everything to burn down his country completely—and then gone golfing

Peer-Ranked Precision: Creating a Foundational Dataset for Fine-Tuning Vision Models from DataSeeds' Annotated Imagery
The development of modern Artificial Intelligence (AI) models, particularly diffusion-based models employed in computer vision and image generation tasks, is undergoing a paradigmatic shift in development methodologies. Traditionally dominated by a "Model Centric" approach, in which performance gains were primarily pursued through increasingly complex model architectures and hyperparameter optimization, the field is now recognizing a more nuanced "Data-Centric" approach. This emergent framework…
