Smallest Suffixient Sets as a Repetitiveness Measure
Suffixient sets are a novel combinatorial object that capture the essential information of repetitive strings in a way that, provided with a random-access mechanism, supports various forms of pattern matching. In this paper we study the size $χ$ of the smallest suffixient set as a repetitiveness measure: we place it between known measures and study its sensitivity to various string operations.

Audio-Aware Large Language Models as Judges for Speaking Styles
Audio-aware large language models (ALLMs) can understand the textual and non-textual information in the audio input. In this paper, we explore using ALLMs as an automatic judge to assess the speaking styles of speeches. We use ALLM judges to evaluate the speeches generated by SLMs on two tasks: voice style instruction following and role-playing. The speaking style we consider includes emotion, volume, speaking pace, word emphasis, pitch control, and non-verbal elements. We use four spoken langu…

Was speaking to some journalists recently who didn't realise how long a history the use of radar has in measuring ice thickness over glaciers.
The technique was discovered by pilots, who must have had the frankly terrifying experience of landing on the ice sheet with their radars telling them they still had a few thousand metres of descent to reach the surface...
It's not mentioned in this obituary but I wonder if this guy would have seen it? Perhaps he didn't even have radar to assist in landing?

SafeGenBench: A Benchmark Framework for Security Vulnerability Detection in LLM-Generated Code
The code generation capabilities of large language models(LLMs) have emerged as a critical dimension in evaluating their overall performance. However, prior research has largely overlooked the security risks inherent in the generated code. In this work, we introduce \benchmark, a benchmark specifically designed to assess the security of LLM-generated code. The dataset encompasses a wide range of common software development scenarios and vulnerability types. Building upon this benchmark, we deve…

Well that was a couple hours well spent. Got the entire FMC bus fully fanned out with mostly-reasonable trace spacing, end to end 50 ohm routing except for some neck-down in the 0.65mm BGA field, and no mid-span vias (there had previously been a huge number of them).
