How are the cool kids these days identifying who on the web is linking to their site?
Now that browsers have (rightly! hooray!) generally stopped sending referrer headers, web server logs can no longer do this.
Google Analytics and similar are effective at this exactly to the extent that they’re intrusive and hand everyone’s data — visitors and site owners alike — to increasingly distasteful actors.
A whole-web crawl could answer this question in principle. Is there one tha…

Und wir dachten, dass das so ein niedlicher Speckgürtel-Vorort ist.

Die CDU wird im Bereich der inneren Sicherheit versagen, wenn man sie lässt
Wie Friedrich #Merz die rechtsextremen Angriffe auf Politiker*innen im Wahlkampf nutzt, um die Aufmerksamkeit auf rechtsextreme Islamisten zu lenken, macht deutlich, dass eine CDU-Regierung das Versagen in der inneren Sicherheit fortsetzen wird. In Sachsen zeigt sich derzeit, wie schwach die CDU im Innenministerium und …

BuDDIE: A Business Document Dataset for Multi-task Information Extraction
The field of visually rich document understanding (VRDU) aims to solve a multitude of well-researched NLP tasks in a multi-modal domain. Several datasets exist for research on specific tasks of VRDU such as document classification (DC), key entity extraction (KEE), entity linking, visual question answering (VQA), inter alia. These datasets cover documents like invoices and receipts with sparse annotations such that they support one or two co-related tasks (e.g., entity extraction and entity lin…

Mass calibration of DES Year-3 clusters via SPT-3G CMB cluster lensing
We measure the stacked lensing signal in the direction of galaxy clusters in the Dark Energy Survey Year 3 (DES Y3) redMaPPer sample, using cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature data from SPT-3G, the third-generation CMB camera on the South Pole Telescope (SPT). We estimate the lensing signal using temperature maps constructed from the initial 2 years of data from the SPT-3G 'Main' survey, covering 1500 deg$^2$ of the Southern sky. We then use this signal as a proxy for the mean cluster…
