On June 13, military veterans and their families and supporters protested in front of the US Supreme Court in Washington, DC,
-- demanding that taxpayer dollars for Donald Trump’s ill-fated military parade and his decision to send troops to Los Angeles should be used instead for housing, healthcare, food, and taking care of veterans.
Around 60 demonstrators were arrested by Capitol police

Thes vets swore to defend the Constitution against all enemies—including Donald Trump
“We need to unite across the spectrum to push back. Veterans like us need to continue to speak out, so that we can motivate other veterans to speak out, and also show them the hypocrisy of this administration.”

Mitigating Shortcut Learning with InterpoLated Learning
Empirical risk minimization (ERM) incentivizes models to exploit shortcuts, i.e., spurious correlations between input attributes and labels that are prevalent in the majority of the training data but unrelated to the task at hand. This reliance hinders generalization on minority examples, where such correlations do not hold. Existing shortcut mitigation approaches are model-specific, difficult to tune, computationally expensive, and fail to improve learned representations. To address these issu…

Cooper: Co-Optimizing Policy and Reward Models in Reinforcement Learning for Large Language Models
Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable performance in reasoning tasks, where reinforcement learning (RL) serves as a key algorithm for enhancing their reasoning capabilities. Currently, there are two mainstream reward paradigms: model-based rewards and rule-based rewards. However, both approaches suffer from limitations: rule-based rewards lack robustness, while model-based rewards are vulnerable to reward hacking. To address these issues, we propose Cooper(Co-optimizing Poli…

Fixed Parameter Tractable Linearizability Monitoring for Stack, Queue and Anagram Agnostic Data Types
Verifying linearizability of concurrent data structures is NP-hard, even for simple types. We present fixed-parameter tractable algorithms for monitoring stacks, queues, and anagram-agnostic data types (AADTs), parameterized by the maximum concurrency. Our approach leverages frontier graphs and partition states to bound the search space. For AADTs, equivalence of linearizations enables monitoring in log-linear time. For stacks, we introduce a grammar-based method with a sub-cubic reduction to m…

Insights from Designing Context-Aware Meal Preparation Assistance for Older Adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and Their Care Partners
Older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) often face challenges during meal preparation, such as forgetting ingredients, skipping steps, or leaving appliances on, which can compromise their safety and independence. Our study explores the design of context-aware assistive technologies for meal preparation using a user-centered iterative design process. Through three iterative phases of design and feedback, evolving from low-tech lightbox to a digital screen, we gained insights into manag…

I really want to get used to riding without assist for more of a "workout" on it, but also have the backup of assist for the hills.

On the Quadratic Structure of Torsors over Affine Group Schemes
Let $\mathcal{G}=\mathrm{Spec}(A)$ be a finite and flat group scheme over the ring of algebraic integers $R$ of a number field $K$ and suppose that the generic fiber of $\mathcal{G}$ is the constant group scheme over $K$ for a finite group $G$. Then the $R$-dual $A^D$of $A$ identifies as a Hopf $R$-order in the group algebra $K[G]$. If $B$ is a principal homogeneous space for $A$, then it is known that $B$ is a locally free $A^D$-module.

Anomalous Ionic Conductivity along the Coherent $Σ$3 Grain Boundary in ThO2
Understanding oxygen diffusion along grain boundaries (GBs) is critical for controlling ionic conductivity in oxide ceramics. GBs are typically thought to enhance ionic transport due to structural disorder and increased free volume. In this study, we report an unexpected anomaly: the $Σ3(111)$ GB in thorium dioxide (ThO$_2$), despite its compact and coherent structure, exhibits significantly higher oxygen ionic conductivity compared to the more open GB ($Σ19$ as an example).
