Forecasting Geopolitical Events with a Sparse Temporal Fusion Transformer and Gaussian Process Hybrid: A Case Study in Middle Eastern and U.S. Conflict Dynamics
Forecasting geopolitical conflict from data sources like the Global Database of Events, Language, and Tone (GDELT) is a critical challenge for national security. The inherent sparsity, burstiness, and overdispersion of such data cause standard deep learning models, including the Temporal Fusion Transformer (TFT), to produce unreliable long-horizon predictions. We introduce STFT-VNNGP, a hybrid architecture that won the 2023 Algorithms for Threat Detection (ATD) competition by overcoming these l…

Wide-field Polarization Imaging and Numerical Modeling of the Coma and Tail of Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS)
Imaging polarimetry is a well-known method for analysing the structure and composition of cometary dust. Accordingly, comets are classified based on the phase angle dependent degree of linear polarization of their comae. The goal of this study is to examine the size and structure of the dust grains in the coma and in particular in the tail of the bright comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) and to infer possible variations. For this purpose, we rely on the method of telescopic wide-field polarime…

Run 2/3 measurement of the muon anomalous magnetic moment by the Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab
The Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab seeks to measure the muon magnetic moment anomaly, $a_μ=(g-2)/2$, with a final target precision of 0.14 parts-per-million (ppm). The experiment's initial result, published in 2021 using Run 1 data from 2018, confirmed the previous measurement at Brookhaven National Laboratory with a comparable sensitivity of 0.46 ppm. In 2023, a new result based on Run 2 and Run 3 data, collected in 2019 and 2020, was released. These datasets contain four times the data from…

This new tool lets artists 'poison' their artwork to deter AI companies from using it to train their models—here’s how it works
If an artist doesn't want their pieces being used to train AI image generators, a new tool called Nightshade would let them "poison" their artwork.

I remember vividly when the Fediverse immediately used the fake news about an alleged #Israel​i airstrike on al-Ahli Arab Hospital on 17 October 2023 as evidence for an ongoing genocide.
Wondering what the conclusion from the #Iran​ian airstrike on

Iranian missile strikes hit Israeli hospital
Israel is targeted by new Iranian missile strikes with several hits, among them, the Soroka Hospital in Beersheba. Israel earlier reportedly attacked a key heavy-water research reactor in Khondab. DW has more.

Suspense and Surprise in European Football
We propose utilizing match-level suspense and surprise - which capture the entertainment utility created by competitive balance and outcome uncertainty for sports spectators - as alternative policy targets for league organizers and managers. Through simulations, we derive a benchmark range for suspense and surprise based on a perfectly balanced match before analyzing over 25,000 men's matches (2010/11-2023/24) and 725 women's matches (2023/24) from Europe's top football leagues. Our findings re…
