Lipstick on a Pig: learning the most important lesson in design
I just released a little tool called Lipstick on a Pig that helps keep the visual appearance of supported command-line applications in sync with the current light/dark mode setting (colour scheme) of your system in GNOME. But why is this tool even necessary to begin with? Let’s start at the beginning… Getting to GNOME you The GNOME display environment1, since version 42, implements support for light and dark appearance styles (aka colour schemes).

Concerning S$H_0$ES Data: Discrepant $W_{0,VI}$ Absolute Magnitudes for Cepheids in the Keystone Galaxy NGC4258
S$H_0$ES $VI$-band photometry for classical Cepheids in the keystone galaxy NGC4258 yield discrepant absolute magnitudes. Specifically, the 2016 and 2022 published S$H_0$ES Cepheid data for NGC4258 exhibit a substantial offset of $ΔW_{0,VI}\simeq0^{\rm m}.3$. That adds to a suite of existing concerns associated with the S$H_0$ES analysis, which in sum imply that their relatively non-changing Hubble constant for nearly twenty years should be viewed with caution.

SoPhAr: Solar Phased-Arrays to boost the range of electric, hydrogen and SAF airliners in a solar world
In late 2022, ICAO member states adopted a long-term global aspirational goal (LTAG) to achieve net zero carbon emissions from international aviation by 2050. To date however, no economically scalable solution to the aviation decarbonization problem has been proposed. Despite considerable research on potential alternative fuels including e-fuels, Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), Hydrogen or Ammonia, and extensive research on purely electric propulsion, low-carbon propulsion methods are unable t…

Can You Learn Semantics Through Next-Word Prediction? The Case of Entailment
Do LMs infer the semantics of text from co-occurrence patterns in their training data? Merrill et al. (2022) argue that, in theory, probabilities predicted by an optimal LM encode semantic information about entailment relations, but it is unclear whether neural LMs trained on corpora learn entailment in this way because of strong idealizing assumptions made by Merrill et al. In this work, we investigate whether their theory can be used to decode entailment judgments from neural LMs. We find tha…

Gradient Preserving Operator Inference: Data-Driven Reduced-Order Models for Equations with Gradient Structure
Hamiltonian Operator Inference has been introduced in [Sharma, H., Wang, Z., Kramer, B., Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena, 431, p.133122, 2022] to learn structure-preserving reduced-order models (ROMs) for Hamiltonian systems. This approach constructs a low-dimensional model using only data and knowledge of the Hamiltonian function. Such ROMs can keep the intrinsic structure of the system, allowing them to capture the physics described by the governing equations. In this work, we extend this appr…

Computing Longest Common Subsequence under Cartesian-Tree Matching Model
Two strings of the same length are said to Cartesian-tree match (CT-match) if their Cartesian-trees are isomorphic [Park et al., TCS 2020]. Cartesian-tree matching is a natural model that allows for capturing similarities of numerical sequences. Oizumi et al. [CPM 2022] showed that subsequence pattern matching under CT-matching model can be solved in polynomial time. This current article follows and extends this line of research: We present the first polynomial-time algorithm that finds the lon…

Homological dimensions of Burch ideals, submodules and quotients
The notion of Burch ideals and Burch submodules were introduced (and studied) by Dao-Kobayashi-Takahashi in 2020 and Dey-Kobayashi in 2022 respectively. The aim of this article is to characterize various local rings in terms of homological invariants of Burch ideals, Burch submodules, or that of the corresponding quotients. Specific applications of our results include the following: Let $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ be a commutative Noetherian local ring. Let $M=I$ be an integrally closed ideal of $R$ suc…

InPars-Light: Cost-Effective Unsupervised Training of Efficient Rankers
We carried out a reproducibility study of InPars, which is a method for unsupervised training of neural rankers (Bonifacio et al., 2022). As a by-product, we developed InPars-light, which is a simple-yet-effective modification of InPars. Unlike InPars, InPars-light uses 7x-100x smaller ranking models and only a freely available language model BLOOM, which -- as we found out -- produced more accurate rankers compared to a proprietary GPT-3 model.

7/ Guten Morgen! Habt Ihr gut geschlafen? Ich habe in der Zeit mal ein bisschen was zu #Kuba gelesen. Anne Rabe hatte ja aus einem Film über das schlimme Schicksal eines homosexuellen Schriftstellers in Kuba geschlossen, dass der #Sozialismus und die DDR schlecht waren. Zu #Homosexualität in der #DDR hatte ich ja schon was im Blog-Post geschrieben. Jetzt habe ich einen Kuba-Teil hinzugefügt.
Kuba hat seit 2022 eins der liberalsten Familiengesetze weltweit. Transoperationen werden von der Krankenkasse übernommen. Gleichgeschlechtliche Ehen sind erlaubt usw. usf. Und jetzt ratet mal, wer die treibende Karft war und ist! Und zwar seit 1980. Kommt Ihr nie drauf. Es ist die Nichte von Fidel Castro, nämlich Mariela Castro. Und ratet mal, wie das Familiengesetz beschlossen wurde. Mit einem Referendum. Mit großer Mehrheit. Hm. Sehr interessant. Kuba hat zwar ein Einparteiensystem mit Kommunistischer Partei, aber es gibt Volksentscheide. Irre! Und ratet mal, wer sich für diese Öffnung einsetzt: Mariela Castro.
Viel Spaß beim Lesen. Und vielleicht kann ja @… seiner Genossin Anne Rabe irgendwann auch noch mal erklären, dass die #SPD den Sozialismus aufbauen will. Also steht zumindest im Programm. Vielleicht hat Anne Rabe das aber auch nicht gelesen, bevor sie eingetreten ist. Sie ist ja nicht so sorgfältig beim Recherchieren.

Assessing Human Judgment Forecasts in the Rapid Spread of the Mpox Outbreak: Insights and Challenges for Pandemic Preparedness
In May 2022, mpox (formerly monkeypox) spread to non-endemic countries rapidly. Human judgment is a forecasting approach that has been sparsely evaluated during the beginning of an outbreak. We collected -- between May 19, 2022 and July 31, 2022 -- 1275 forecasts from 442 individuals of six questions about the mpox outbreak where ground truth data are now available. Individual human judgment forecasts and an equally weighted ensemble were evaluated, as well as compared to a random walk, autoreg…
