hyves: Hyves friendship network (2010)
A network of friendships among users of Hyves, an online social networking site in the Netherlands (comparable to Facebook at the time). Nodes represent users and an edge exists if two users are friends. These data were crawled in December 2010.
This network has 1402673 nodes and 2777419 edges.

Representations of conformal nets associated with infinite-dimensional groups
We study the relation between representations of certain infinite-dimensional Lie groups and those of the associated conformal nets. For a chiral conformal net extending the net generated by the vacuum representation of a loop group or diffeomorphism group of the circle, we show that any conformal net representation induces a positive-energy representation of the corresponding group. Consequently, we prove that any representation of such a conformal net is automatically diffeomorphism covariant…

LatentVoiceGrad: Nonparallel Voice Conversion with Latent Diffusion/Flow-Matching Models
Previously, we introduced VoiceGrad, a nonparallel voice conversion (VC) technique enabling mel-spectrogram conversion from source to target speakers using a score-based diffusion model. The concept involves training a score network to predict the gradient of the log density of mel-spectrograms from various speakers. VC is executed by iteratively adjusting an input mel-spectrogram until resembling the target speaker's. However, challenges persist: audio quality needs improvement, and conversion…

A Comparative Analysis of Identifier Schemes: UUIDv4, UUIDv7, and ULID for Distributed Systems
Distributed systems require robust, scalable identifier schemes to ensure data uniqueness and efficient indexing across multiple nodes. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the evolution of distributed identifiers, comparing traditional auto-increment keys with UUIDv4, UUIDv7, and ULIDs. We combine mathematical calculation of collision probabilities with empirical experiments measuring generation speed and network transmission overhead in a simulated distributed environment. Results …
