A U.S. bankruptcy judge on Tuesday approved a $46.75 million settlement for victims of a 2023 data breach
at ‌the genetic testing company 23andMe,
which exposed genetic and other personal information of an estimated 6.9 million customers.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Brian Walsh in St. Louis said the settlement was fair and equitable, and in the best interest of a trust overseen by the company's ⁠bankruptcy administrator.

Who suffers when education aid falls?  - World Education Blog
Last year, the GEM Report warned that, by 2027, aid to education could fall by around a quarter from its peak in 2023. This was a projection based on donor announcements at the time. One year later, new evidence from donors shows that the drop is likely to be even sharper at 30%.

DiffVQE: Hybrid Diffusion Voice Quality Enhancement Under Acoustic Echo and Noise
Haljan Lugo Girao, Ernst Seidel, Pejman Mowlaee, Ziyue Zhao, Tim Fingscheidt
https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.08189 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2605.08189 https://arxiv.org/html/2605.08189
arXiv:2605.08189v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Acoustic echo and background noise pose challenges on speech enhancement in hands-free systems and speakerphones. Discriminatively trained end-to-end methods represent a powerful solution for joint acoustic echo control (AEC) and denoising. However, with the advent of generative methods, diffusion-based approaches have seen remarkable performance in speech enhancement tasks. In this work, to the best of our knowledge, we provide the first (still non-causal) diffusion-based AEC model (DiffVQE) that is reproducible in terms of topology, training data, and training framework. So far, without employing diffusion, Microsoft's discriminative DeepVQE model has been shown to excel any of the ICASSP 2023 AEC Challenge entries achieving remarkable performance. Using data from the Interspeech 2025 URGENT Challenge for a diverse, high-quality training dataset, our DiffVQE excels DeepVQE both in echo and noise control performance, as well as in computational complexity and model size.

Three-Dimensional Velocity Analysis and Particle Size Dynamics from Multi-Site RGB-Photometry of Noctilucent Clouds

arXiv:2605.21687v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: A method for measuring the altitude and particle size of noctilucent clouds, based on positioning and photometry from wide-angle three-color cameras, has been developed to determine the three velocity components, particle radius, and its derivative with respect to time for different cloud fragments. The updated method is applied to observational data of bright clouds during the summers of 2023-2025. Meridional motion of the cloud is found to be the principal factor driving the change in particle size. The effect of particle size evolution in the presence of a strong latitudinal temperature gradient is also studied.
