crossMoDA Challenge: Evolution of Cross-Modality Domain Adaptation Techniques for Vestibular Schwannoma and Cochlea Segmentation from 2021 to 2023
The cross-Modality Domain Adaptation (crossMoDA) challenge series, initiated in 2021 in conjunction with the International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention (MICCAI), focuses on unsupervised cross-modality segmentation, learning from contrast-enhanced T1 (ceT1) and transferring to T2 MRI. The task is an extreme example of domain shift chosen to serve as a meaningful and illustrative benchmark. From a clinical application perspective, it aims to automate Ve…

Soderle, und hier haben wir nun auch noch die kumulative Grafik mit der Anzahl der Balkonkraftwerke.
Hab noch den Endpunkt rangebastelt, damit man die Summe sieht.
Von der diese Woche vermeldeten Million sind wir zumindest offiziell noch etwas entfernt, wobei Sebastian ja von einer hohen Dunkelziffer ausgeht.
Wieso haben wir eigentlich eine Dunkelziffer? Faulheit? Ungenehmigt?

With moving my calendar away from Google I was looking for a Caldev solution, but ...
Interesting take on CalDev and encryption on Cryptpad's github page.
No chance that that will happen encrypted.
It's waiting for an solution in the Caldev protocol. 😇

Dynamic Grid Trading Strategy: From Zero Expectation to Market Outperformance
We propose a profitable trading strategy for the cryptocurrency market based on grid trading. Starting with an analysis of the expected value of the traditional grid strategy, we show that under simple assumptions, its expected return is essentially zero. We then introduce a novel Dynamic Grid-based Trading (DGT) strategy that adapts to market conditions by dynamically resetting grid positions. Our backtesting results using minute-level data from Bitcoin and Ethereum between January 2021 and Ju…

Re-ranking 2021 NFL Draft by position: Where do Trevor Lawrence, Micah Parsons fall? https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6400472/2025/06/05/nfl-draft-2021-micah-parsons-trevor-lawrence/

Very interesting talks at the #SolarEclipse Conference - https://www.vvs.be/subsite/sec-2025/programme - in Belgium I am attending online: here is the key result by Luca Quaglia who had reported his work in great detail in the papers https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-4365/ac1279 (2021), https://www.iota-es.de/JOA/JOA2022_2.pdf#page=3 (2022) and https://www.iota-es.de/JOA/JOA2024_4.pdf#page=3 (2024) already. There seems to be NO way by now to escape the conclusion the the solar - i.e. photospheric - diameter used by many in the past (and various eclipse map calculations sites still today) is too small. So everyone should use Quaglia's free precision tools at https://www.besselianelements.com instead to get the real length of totality at one's observing spot. And when you are observing at the edges of the totality zone the tools will tell you where the actual border is: traditional maps can the off by some margin! 1/n

Channel 4 Says It Doesn’t Use NDAs, But Documents Reveal Company Is Curbing Free Speech Of Aggrieved Ex-Employees
Channel 4 described itself as the "defender of free speech," but documents reveal it is restricting what former staffers can say about the company.

All-sky search for individual Primordial Black Hole bursts with LHAASO
Primordial Black Holes~(PBHs) are hypothetical black holes with a wide range of masses that formed in the early universe. As a result, they may play an important cosmological role and provide a unique probe of the early universe. A PBH with an initial mass of approximately $10^{15}$~g is expected to explode today in a final burst of Hawking radiation. In this work, we conduct an all-sky search for individual PBH burst events using the data collected from March 2021 to July 2024 by the Water Che…

Temporally Extending Existing Web Archive Collections for Longitudinal Analysis
The Environmental Governance and Data Initiative (EDGI) regularly crawled US federal environmental websites between 2016 and 2020 to capture changes between two presidential administrations. However, because it does not include the previous administration ending in 2008, the collection is unsuitable for answering our research question, Were the website terms deleted by the Trump administration (2017--2021) added by the Obama administration (2009--2017)? Thus, like many researchers using the Way…
