Judge Jia M. Cobb rejected what she called
“a truly startling argument”
from the government
that it could use a fast-track procedure to remove people arrested far from the southern border.
The case focused on a policy shift announced during the first week of Trump’s second term
that authorized the Department of Homeland Security to launch quick deportations,
across the country and without court proceedings,

A Unified Framework for Diffusion Model Unlearning with f-Divergence
Machine unlearning aims to remove specific knowledge from a trained model. While diffusion models (DMs) have shown remarkable generative capabilities, existing unlearning methods for text-to-image (T2I) models often rely on minimizing the mean squared error (MSE) between the output distribution of a target and an anchor concept. We show that this MSE-based approach is a special case of a unified $f$-divergence-based framework, in which any $f$-divergence can be utilized. We analyze the benefits…

Plastic pollution could linger at ocean surfaces for over a century, new research finds
Scientists from the Department of Geography and Environmental Science at Queen Mary University of London have developed a simple model to show how buoyant plastic can settle through the water column and they predict it could take over 100 years to remove plastic waste from the ocean's surface.

SPADE: Structured Pruning and Adaptive Distillation for Efficient LLM-TTS
The goal of this paper is to introduce SPADE, a framework for Structured Pruning and Adaptive Distillation for Efficient Large Language Model-based text-to-speech (LLM-TTS). Recent LLM-TTS systems achieve strong controllability and zero-shot generalization, but their large parameter counts and high latency limit real-world deployment. SPADE addresses this by combining (i) a pruning step guided by a word-error-rate-based layer importance index to remove non-essential Transformer layers, with (ii…

Monte Carlo simulations of 2D flat-sheet membrane filters for constant-pressure water purification
Membrane filtration is widely used in wastewater treatment to remove foulants from contaminated water. Foulant build-up on the membrane occludes the area open for fluid flow, which impairs the efficiency of the filtration operation by decreasing the flux through the membrane. This necessitates the introduction of cleaning interventions to regenerate the membrane after fouling. Backwashing is a strategy to restore the membrane, wherein clean water is processed backward through the membrane to di…

Double Poisson (vertex) algebra cohomology
A noncommutative (NC) version of Poisson geometry was initiated by Van den Bergh by introducing at the level of associative algebras the formalism of double Poisson brackets. Their key property is to induce (standard) Poisson brackets under each representation functor. Then, Pichereau and Van de Weyer developed and studied the corresponding cohomology theory under the assumption that there exists a NC bivector defining the double Poisson bracket. Our first main result is that one can remove thi…

Three-dimensional Reconstruction and Propagation of an Asymmetric Flux-rope Coronal Mass Ejection
We report on the characterization of a coronal mass ejection (CME) observed on 22 October 2003 by the LASCO-C2 and C3 coronagraphs over a time interval of 6 hours. This CME clearly appears as an asymmetric flux-rope in self-similar expansion and in spite of having a single vantage point, this relatively simple morphology and the geometry of the observations allow us to reconstruct its shape and its trajectory. The images are first processed in order to remove most of the background or foregroun…
