I am sad to be one of the Canadians who’ve chosen to avoid discretionary travel to the US, under the current government, that they’re talking about in this video.
As a comparison, here are my in-the-US discretionary spends for the first halves of 2023, 2024, 2025. This does not include air travel or accommodation. This is in-person spending on things like restaurants, gas, entertainment, parking, food.

Weak Fan Structures for Two-Parameter Degenerations of K3 Surfaces
In this note, we provide an explicit computation of the weak fan associated with a two-parameter degeneration of K3 surfaces. This example serves as a concrete illustration of the general framework developed by Robles and Deng (2023) for the compactification of period maps via nilpotent orbits in the non-Hermitian case. We describe the associated nilpotent cones, examine their compatibility conditions, and construct the weak fan governing the degeneration behavior. This computation contributes …

Building Blocks of a User Experience Research Point of View
This paper presents three User Experience Research (UXR) perspectives based on data, evidence and insights - known as Point of View (POV) - showcasing how the strategies and methods of building a POV work in an enterprise setting. The POV are: 1. Smart Visuals: Use AI to extract and translate text from visuals in videos (2019). 2. Assessable Code Editor: Focus on direct AI-feedback to the learner as it is the loop that requires the least effort for the highest impact(2023). 3. Opportunity Lands…

Temporal Dynamics of Emotions in Italian Online Soccer Fandoms
This study investigates the emotional dynamics of Italian soccer fandoms through computational analysis of user-generated content from official Instagram accounts of 83 teams across Serie A, Serie B, and Lega Pro during the 2023-24 season. By applying sentiment analysis to fan comments, we extract temporal emotional patterns and identify distinct clusters of fan bases with similar preseason expectations. Drawing from complex systems theory, we characterize joy as displaying anti-bursty temporal…

Advancing Exchange Rate Forecasting: Leveraging Machine Learning and AI for Enhanced Accuracy in Global Financial Markets
The prediction of foreign exchange rates, such as the US Dollar (USD) to Bangladeshi Taka (BDT), plays a pivotal role in global financial markets, influencing trade, investments, and economic stability. This study leverages historical USD/BDT exchange rate data from 2018 to 2023, sourced from Yahoo Finance, to develop advanced machine learning models for accurate forecasting. A Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural network is employed, achieving an exceptional accuracy of 99.449%, a Root Mean Sq…

On Jiang's Bounded Index Property for products of nilmanifolds
In 2023, Zhang and Zhao presented the first examples of aspherical manifolds lacking the Bounded Index Property (BIP) for fixed points. This answered a question posed by Jiang in 1998 in the negative. In this paper, we first extend the notion of BIP to that of iterations of selfmaps (BIP$_k$), and then demonstrate BIP$_k$ for certain products $M\times N$ of nilmanifolds. Finally, we give characterizations for the Lefschetz number, the Nielsen number, and the minimal number of fixed points of se…

Reposting this for a colleague of mine from Edinburgh, who I know pretty well - he hosted me for 3 days in 2023 and I was impressed with him and his group. (They even took me for a walk over Arthur's Seat to a pub dinner.) 22-year-old me took an opportunity like this to study in Edinburgh and I think it worked out well.
