Zwei Veranstaltungstipps für Berlin:
1) Von Filmhistoriker und -theoretiker Tobias Ebbrecht-Hartmann ist unlängst das Buch "Gewalt als Bild. Die Bilder vom 7. Oktober im Spiegel der visuellen Erinnerung an die Shoah" erschienen (Neofelis Verlag). Kommenden Sonntag gibt es dazu eine Diskussion im Jüdischen Museum Berlin mit Annette Vowinckel.

Intuitions of Machine Learning Researchers about Transfer Learning for Medical Image Classification
Transfer learning is crucial for medical imaging, yet the selection of source datasets - which can impact the generalizability of algorithms, and thus patient outcomes - often relies on researchers' intuition rather than systematic principles. This study investigates these decisions through a task-based survey with machine learning practitioners. Unlike prior work that benchmarks models and experimental setups, we take a human-centered HCI perspective on how practitioners select source datasets…

Neben den für's urbanize-Festival veranstalteten Flanerien stehen diesen Monat auch jede Menge VHS-Veranstaltungen am Programm, für nächste Woche etwa bin ich von der Wiener Urania aus Anlass der Premiere des Musicals "Maria Theresia" (über das ich keine Aussagen machen kann, ich kenne es ja bislang nicht) eigeladen worden zu meinem Vortrag:

Mass Varying Neutrino Oscillation in Scalar-Gauss-Bonnet Gravity
We investigate how matter density affects neutrino oscillations by considering a mass-varying neutrino scenario where the neutrino mass depends on a scalar field. This scalar field is non-minimally coupled to the Gauss-Bonnet (GB) invariant, causing its profile to be implicitly influenced by the surrounding matter distribution. Using data from solar neutrino experiments, we derive constraints on the model parameters, providing new insights into the properties of mass-varying neutrino within the…

„Deutschland [sendet] das falsche Signal: Statt die Transformation planbar zu machen, wird darüber gestritten, den EU Ausstieg aus dem Verbrenner 2035 aufzuweichen und Sanktionen bei verfehlten Flottenzielen zu begrenzen. Dieses Hin und Her verunsichert.“

DynaMark: A Reinforcement Learning Framework for Dynamic Watermarking in Industrial Machine Tool Controllers
Industry 4.0's highly networked Machine Tool Controllers (MTCs) are prime targets for replay attacks that use outdated sensor data to manipulate actuators. Dynamic watermarking can reveal such tampering, but current schemes assume linear-Gaussian dynamics and use constant watermark statistics, making them vulnerable to the time-varying, partly proprietary behavior of MTCs. We close this gap with DynaMark, a reinforcement learning framework that models dynamic watermarking as a Markov decision p…

Variance-Bounded Evaluation without Ground Truth: VB-Score
Reliable evaluation is a central challenge in machine learning when tasks lack ground truth labels or involve ambiguity and noise. Conventional frameworks, rooted in the Cranfield paradigm and label-based metrics, fail in such cases because they cannot assess how robustly a system performs under uncertain interpretations. We introduce VB-Score, a variance-bounded evaluation framework that measures both effectiveness and robustness without requiring ground truth. Given a query or input, VB-Score…

Und jetzt Alle:
Vermessene Bildung
PISA, VERA - Zahlenspiel,
messen, wägen, prüfen viel.
Teaching-to-the-Test regiert,
wo einst Neugier motiviert.
Doch was bleibt vom Lernen dann,
wenn man nur noch testen kann?
Wenn die Zahl allein entscheidet,
wahre Bildung leise leidet.
