Position: Evaluating Generative AI Systems Is a Social Science Measurement Challenge
The measurement tasks involved in evaluating generative AI (GenAI) systems lack sufficient scientific rigor, leading to what has been described as "a tangle of sloppy tests [and] apples-to-oranges comparisons" (Roose, 2024). In this position paper, we argue that the ML community would benefit from learning from and drawing on the social sciences when developing and using measurement instruments for evaluating GenAI systems. Specifically, our position is that evaluating GenAI systems is a social…

Trigonometric Ratios Can Prove the Pythagorean Theorem
Recent interest in noncircular trigonometric proofs has underscored the need for alternative methodologies. Jackson and Johnson's 2024 study addresses a longstanding gap in the foundations of trigonometric proofs. Inspired by the work of Jackson and Johnson [JJ24], we present three noncircular proofs of the Pythagorean theorem based on trigonometric identities. First, we establish the Pythagorean theorem via an isosceles triangle construction and the tangent double-angle formula. Second, we pre…

Atomic and inter-atomic orbital magnetization induced in SrTiO$_3$ by chiral phonons
An unexpectedly large transient magnetization induced by circularly polarized ferroelectric phonons was recently observed in a nonmagnetic insulator SrTiO3 [Nature 628, 534 (2024)]. We use a minimal molecular orbital model to demonstrate two electronic contributions to this effect. An atomic orbital contribution arises from the pumping of orbital angular momentum of Ti by chiral motion of coordinating oxygen atoms. An additional inter-atomic contribution is associated with the transient circula…

Solar Surface Magnetic Field Simulation from 2010 to 2024 and Anomalous Southern Poleward Flux Transport in Cycle 24
The solar surface magnetic field is fundamental for modeling the coronal magnetic field, studying the solar dynamo, and predicting solar cycle strength. We perform a continuous simulation of the surface magnetic field from 2010 to 2024, covering solar cycle 24 and the ongoing cycle 25, using the surface flux transport model with assimilated observed active regions (ARs) as the source. The simulation reproduces the evolution of the axial dipole strength, polar field reversal timing, and magnetic…

Correspondence among congruence families for generalized Frobenius partitions via modular permutations
In 2024, Garvan, Sellers and Smoot discovered a remarkable symmetry in the families of congruences for generalized Frobenius partitions $cψ_{2,0}$ and $cψ_{2,1}$. They also emphasized that the considerations for the general case of $cψ_{k,β}$ are important for future work. In this paper, for each $k$ we construct a vector-valued modular form for the generating functions of $cψ_{k,β}$, and determine an equivalence relation among all $β$. Within each equivalence class, we can identify modu…

Symmetry oscillations sensitivity to SU(2)-symmetry breaking in quantum mixtures
In one-dimensional bosonic quantum mixtures with SU(2)-symmetry breaking Hamiltonian, the dynamical evolution explores different particle exchange symmetry sectors. For the case of infinitely strong intra-species repulsion, the hallmark of such symmetry oscillations are time modulations of the momentum distribution [Phys. Rev. Lett. 133, 183402 (2024)], an observable routinely accessed in experiments with ultracold atoms. In this work we show that this phenomenon is robust in strongly interacti…

We closely examine a notion of average smoothness recently introduced by Ashlagi et al. (JMLR, 2024). The latter defined a {\em weak} and {\em strong} average-Lipschitz seminorm for real-valued functions on general metric spaces. Specializing to the standard metric on the real line, we compare these notions to bounded variation (BV) and discover that the weak notion is strictly weaker than BV while the strong notion strictly stronger. Along the way, we discover that the weak average smooth clas…

Okay, das ist skurril:
Zu Clint Eastwoods 95. Geburtstag veröffentlicht der Kurier am 30.5. ein Interview, das Korrespondentin Elisabeth Sereda mit ihm geführt hat.
Ein Zitat wird rasch von internationalen Medien aufgegriffen und geht viral:
"Wir leben in einer Ära der Remakes und Franchises. Ich habe dreimal Fortsetzungen gedreht, aber das interessiert mich schon lange nicht mehr. Meine Philosophie ist, mach etwas Neues oder bleib zu Hause".
Am 2.6. nun druckt Deadline ein Statement von Eastwood ab: er habe seit Wochen niemandem ein Interview gegeben, und sicher nicht dem Kurier. Das Interview sei gefälscht.
Der Kurier prüft nun den Sachverhalt, was "angesichts der Zeitverschiebung in die USA etwas dauern wird". (Lol)
Auch interessant: im Interview ist davon die Rede, dass Eastwoods Film "Juror #2" "Ende des Jahres" in die Kinos komme. Bloß war das Ende 2024 der Fall. Ist das Interview eventuell schon ein Jahr alt?
