T-Mobile claimed selling location data without consent is legal—judges disagree
T-Mobile can’t overturn $92 million fine; AT&T and Verizon verdicts still to come.

Michigan State University professor Josh Cowen announced Thursday that he is running for one of the battleground state’s most competitive congressional districts,
joining a crowded field of Democrats seeking to challenge Republican Rep. Tom Barrett.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Cowen said federal worker layoffs and cuts to research funding and Medicaid inspired him to run for the Lansing-area seat that Barrett flipped in 2024.

Michigan State professor Josh Cowen announces run for US Rep. Tom Barrett's seat
A third Democrat has announced a bid to run against Michigan Republican U.S. Rep. Tom Barrett in one of the battleground state's most competitive districts. Josh Cowen is an education policy professor at Michigan State University known for his research on school voucher programs. He announced Thursday that he is running for the state's 7th Congressional District that encompasses the capital city of Lansing and surrounding rural areas. Barrett flipped the district in 2024, winning by 3.7 points …

Analysis of the Pion Electromagnetic Form Factor with Next-to-Next-to-Leading Order QCD Corrections
NNLO QCD corrections for the pion electromagnetic form factor at large momentum transfer have been recently performed in [Phys. Rev. Lett. 132, 201901 (2024); Phys. Rev. Lett. 134, 221901 (2025)], revealing that the NLO and NNLO contributions are positive and sizeable. Unfortunately, these predictions have been obtained using the conventional scale-setting method and thus they are plagued by large renormalization scale ambiguities. In this paper, we analyze the pion electromagnetic form factor …

Online Combinatorial Allocation with Interdependent Values
We study online combinatorial allocation problems in the secretary setting, under interdependent values. In the interdependent model, introduced by Milgrom and Weber (1982), each agent possesses a private signal that captures her information about an item for sale, and the value of every agent depends on the signals held by all agents. Mauras, Mohan, and Reiffenhäuser (2024) were the first to study interdependent values in online settings, providing constant-approximation guarantees for secret…

Pre- and Post-Treatment Glioma Segmentation with the Medical Imaging Segmentation Toolkit
Medical image segmentation continues to advance rapidly, yet rigorous comparison between methods remains challenging due to a lack of standardized and customizable tooling. In this work, we present the current state of the Medical Imaging Segmentation Toolkit (MIST), with a particular focus on its flexible and modular postprocessing framework designed for the BraTS 2025 pre- and post-treatment glioma segmentation challenge. Since its debut in the 2024 BraTS adult glioma post-treatment segmentat…

LLM-Based Identification of Infostealer Infection Vectors from Screenshots: The Case of Aurora
Infostealers exfiltrate credentials, session cookies, and sensitive data from infected systems. With over 29 million stealer logs reported in 2024, manual analysis and mitigation at scale are virtually unfeasible/unpractical. While most research focuses on proactive malware detection, a significant gap remains in leveraging reactive analysis of stealer logs and their associated artifacts. Specifically, infection artifacts such as screenshots, image captured at the point of compromise, are large…

Commitment Gap via Correlation Gap
Selection problems with costly information, dating back to Weitzman's Pandora's Box problem, have received much attention recently. We study the general model of Costly Information Combinatorial Selection (CICS) that was recently introduced by Chawla et al. [2024] and Bowers et al. [2025]. In this problem, a decision maker needs to select a feasible subset of stochastic variables, and can only learn information about their values through a series of costly steps, modeled by a Markov decision pr…

Measurements of enriched 155 Gd and 157Gd converters with the NMX detector on the nTOF EAR2 beam line at CERN
The detectors for the NMX instrument at the European Spallation Source (ESS) in Lund use natural Gd as the neutron converter. In 2024, beam time was obtained at the neutron time-of flight experiment (nTOF) at CERN to study the feasibility of an upgrade to enriched Gd. A 10 x 10 cm^2 prototype of the NMX detector was equipped with two enriched Gd samples (157Gd and 155Gd) that were attached with copper tape to the natural Gd cathode of the detector. Three sets of measurements were taken, with th…

Long-term simultaneous 2.25/8.60~GHz monitoring of the newly-discovered repeating FRB~20240114A
We report on the simultaneous monitoring of the repeating fast radio burst (FRB) 20240114A at 2.25 and 8.60~GHz, conducted 66 times between 2024 January 29 and 2025 February 15 with the Shanghai Tianma Radio Telescope (TMRT). In about 180 hours of observation, we detected 155 bursts at 2.25~GHz above a fluence threshold of 0.72~Jy~ms, but none at 8.60~GHz above a fluence threshold of 0.27~Jy~ms. FRB~20240114A exhibited frequency-dependent activity, as evidenced by the non-detections in 14.3 hou…
