Vision-and-Language Training Helps Deploy Taxonomic Knowledge but Does Not Fundamentally Alter It
Does vision-and-language (VL) training change the linguistic representations of language models in meaningful ways? Most results in the literature have shown inconsistent or marginal differences, both behaviorally and representationally. In this work, we start from the hypothesis that the domain in which VL training could have a significant effect is lexical-conceptual knowledge, in particular its taxonomic organization. Through comparing minimal pairs of text-only LMs and their VL-trained coun…

$B\rightarrow K + \text{axion-like particles}$: effective versus UV-complete models and enhanced two-loop contributions
An axion-like particle $a$ (ALP) can explain the excess of $B\rightarrow K + \text{invisible}$ events at Belle-II. However, many analyses of ALP scenarios are over-simplified. We revisit the $B\rightarrow K a$ transition rate in a popular minimal and UV complete model with two Higgs doublets (2HDM) and a complex singlet (DFSZ model). To this end we compare our results with previous studies which derived the $\overline{b}sa$ vertex from the $\overline{b}sA$ vertex, where $A$ is the heavy pseudo-…

so bin auf dem in den emmener zoo, werde versuchen bilder hier zu posten.

Guten Morgen,
entlich 🦆 Freitag! 🙂
Hab ich doch gestern Abend einen Firmenlauf mitgemacht und war nicht letzter?! Nach zwei Kniespiegelungen in letztem und diesem Jahr war ich fast untrainiert mit 43 Minuten auf 5,5 km dabei, wobei ich vorsichtshalber die ersten 3,5 km gewalkt bin. Aber dabei sein ist alles!
Fast 8000 Läufer*innen in Ingolstadt und eine tolle Stimmung bei optimalem Wetter. Blessuren bisher keine :-).
So, dann schafft den letzten Tag auch noch gut! :…

Bandnudeln mit Mangold-Tomaten-Sahne-Soße
Mangold habe ich 2021 zum ersten Mal angepflanz und hatte im Juni so viel Ernte aus nur zwei Pflanzkästen, dass ich eingekocht habe. Ich verzichte nach Möglichkeit auf einfrieren, weil das Strom kostet. Eine Konserve...

Efficient reallocation of indivisible resources: Pair-efficiency versus Pareto-efficiency
In the object reallocation problem, achieving Pareto-efficiency is desirable, but may be too demanding for implementation purposes. In contrast, pair-efficiency, which is the minimal efficiency requirement, is more suitable. Despite being a significant relaxation, however, pair-efficiency ensures Pareto-efficiency for any strategy-proof and individually rational rule when agents' preferences are unrestricted. What if agents' preferences have specific restricted structures, such as single-peak…

Well this is fun, #Ohio HB96 seems that it would require me to pay to to collect and store your state issued ID if you want to browse Mastodon via this instance.
That's fine, I don't mind spending money which I don't have to collect users' private data including your home address and full legal name. You're fine with giving effectively a complete stranger acro…

Emerging Networks and Services in Developing Nations -- Barbados Use Case
This report aims to conduct an in-depth comparison of DTN (Delay/Disconnection Tolerant Network) performance and characteristics in the developing country of Barbados versus two major UK cities Nottingham and London. We aim to detect any common patterns or deviations between the two region areas and use the results of our network simulations to draw well-founded conclusions on the reasons for these similarities and differences. In the end we hope to be able to assimilate specific portions of th…

Boosted dark matter versus dark matter-induced neutrinos from single and stacked blazars
The physics responsible for the production of observed high-energy neutrinos have not been established so far, neither for the diffuse astrophysical ones nor for those detected from single blazars. We recently proposed that both could be explained by deep inelastic scatterings between sub-GeV dark matter (DM) around blazars and protons within their jets. Here, we compute the proton-recoil signals at the neutrino detectors Super-Kamiokande, KamLAND, Borexino, JUNO, Hyper-Kamiokande and DUNE indu…

Tri-hypercharge versus tri-darkcharge
We propose a minimal, ultraviolet-complete, and renormalizable extension of the Standard Model, in which the three generations of ordinary fermions are distinguished by family-dependent hypercharges, while three right-handed neutrinos are separated by a dark gauge symmetry that is trivial for all Standard Model fields. This setup yields a fully flipped inert doublet model. The model naturally realizes a hybrid scotoseesaw mechanism that accounts for the smallness of neutrino masses and the larg…
