"Dazu kommt, dass kein Autofahrer weiß, wo die Tempo-30-Zone endet"
Na doch, steht direkt drunter. Als Autofahrender wird man doch wohl 150 Meter abschätzen können. Notfalls muss man zur Sicherheit eben etwas länger 30 km/h fahren.

Raser-Falle in Dresden falsch aufgestellt: Anwalt lässt das Rathaus abblitzen
Zwei neue mobile "Superblitzer" erfassen in Dresden Raser. Reichlich Bußgeld fürs Stadtsäckel. Doch Obacht! Das Rathaus blitzt nicht immer korrekt.

Self-Supervised Stereo Matching with Multi-Baseline Contrastive Learning
Current self-supervised stereo matching relies on the photometric consistency assumption, which breaks down in occluded regions due to ill-posed correspondences. To address this issue, we propose BaCon-Stereo, a simple yet effective contrastive learning framework for self-supervised stereo network training in both non-occluded and occluded regions. We adopt a teacher-student paradigm with multi-baseline inputs, in which the stereo pairs fed into the teacher and student share the same reference …

SSSUMO: Real-Time Semi-Supervised Submovement Decomposition
This paper introduces a SSSUMO, semi-supervised deep learning approach for submovement decomposition that achieves state-of-the-art accuracy and speed. While submovement analysis offers valuable insights into motor control, existing methods struggle with reconstruction accuracy, computational cost, and validation, due to the difficulty of obtaining hand-labeled data. We address these challenges using a semi-supervised learning framework. This framework learns from synthetic data, initially gene…

WhisTLE: Deeply Supervised, Text-Only Domain Adaptation for Pretrained Speech Recognition Transformers
Pretrained automatic speech recognition (ASR) models such as Whisper perform well but still need domain adaptation to handle unseen vocabulary and parlance. In many real-world settings, collecting speech data is impractical, necessitating text-only adaptation. We propose WhisTLE, a deeply supervised, text-only adaptation method for pretrained encoder-decoder ASR models. WhisTLE trains a variational autoencoder (VAE) to model encoder outputs from text and fine-tunes the decoder using the learned…

Descriptive set theory of separable Fréchet spaces
In the past few decades, much has been done regarding the descriptive set theory of separable Banach spaces. However, the descriptive properties of separable Fréchet spaces have not yet been investigated. In these notes, we look at this problem, its relation with the (now standard) theory for separable Banach spaces, and we compute/estimate the descriptive complexity of some classical classes of separable Fréchet spaces such as Fréchet-Hilbert, Schwartz, nuclear, and Montel spaces. Our main …

PPL: Point Cloud Supervised Proprioceptive Locomotion Reinforcement Learning for Legged Robots in Crawl Spaces
The legged locomotion in spatially constrained structures (called crawl spaces) is challenging. In crawl spaces, current exteroceptive locomotion learning methods are limited by large noises and errors of the sensors in possible low visibility conditions, and current proprioceptive locomotion learning methods are difficult in traversing crawl spaces because only ground features are inferred. In this study, a point cloud supervised proprioceptive locomotion reinforcement learning method for legg…
