Uber to deploy Lucid-powered robotaxi fleet in San Francisco
Uber said Wednesday that the San Francisco Bay Area will be the first market for its specially built autonomous taxi, which is expected to launch in late 2026. The San Francisco-based ride-hailing company said in July it was developing a robotaxi with the electric car company Lucid and the self-driving technology company Nuro Inc. Uber said it plans to have 100 test vehicles on the road in the coming months. Within six years, Uber plans to deploy 20,000 or more Lucid-based autonomous taxis in m…

Fine-Tuning Code Language Models to Detect Cross-Language Bugs
Multilingual programming, which involves using multiple programming languages (PLs) in a single project, is increasingly common due to its benefits. However, it introduces cross-language bugs (CLBs), which arise from interactions between different PLs and are difficult to detect by single-language bug detection tools. This paper investigates the potential of pre-trained code language models (CodeLMs) in CLB detection. We developed CLCFinder, a cross-language code identification tool, and constr…

Multilingual JobBERT for Cross-Lingual Job Title Matching
We introduce JobBERT-V3, a contrastive learning-based model for cross-lingual job title matching. Building on the state-of-the-art monolingual JobBERT-V2, our approach extends support to English, German, Spanish, and Chinese by leveraging synthetic translations and a balanced multilingual dataset of over 21 million job titles. The model retains the efficiency-focused architecture of its predecessor while enabling robust alignment across languages without requiring task-specific supervision. Ext…

New Synthetic Goldmine: Hand Joint Angle-Driven EMG Data Generation Framework for Micro-Gesture Recognition
Electromyography (EMG)-based gesture recognition has emerged as a promising approach for human-computer interaction. However, its performance is often limited by the scarcity of labeled EMG data, significant cross-user variability, and poor generalization to unseen gestures. To address these challenges, we propose SeqEMG-GAN, a conditional, sequence-driven generative framework that synthesizes high-fidelity EMG signals from hand joint angle sequences. Our method introduces a context-aware archi…

Real Time Fatigue Crack Growth Monitoring Using High Precision Control and Data Acquisition Systems
Fatigue cracks may initiate and propagate long before a structural component reaches the end of its nominal life. Detecting and quantifying crack growth in real time is critical for avoiding catastrophic failures in aerospace structures, nuclear reactors and civil infrastructure. This research reviews four widely used crack growth monitoring techniques: digital image correlation (DIC), acoustic emission (AE), compliance based methods and direct current potential drop (DCPD). The research evalua…

Symplectic Singularities, Color Confinement, and the Quantum Dirac Sheaf
A singularity $\mathbb{C}^{2r}/G$, with $G$ a split symplectic reflection group, may or may not be crepant. Then the total space $\mathscr{X}$ of the Donagi-Witten integrable system is crepant for some 4d $\mathcal{N}=2$ SCFT and non-crepant for others. Which physical mechanism controls the (dis)crepancy? Surprisingly, it is the detailed physics of color confinement (and its generalizations for non-Lagrangian QFT). A 4d $\mathcal{N}=2$ SCFT carries a Frobenius algebra $\mathcal{R}$, the quantum…

From Coarse to Fine: Recursive Audio-Visual Semantic Enhancement for Speech Separation
Audio-visual speech separation aims to isolate each speaker's clean voice from mixtures by leveraging visual cues such as lip movements and facial features. While visual information provides complementary semantic guidance, existing methods often underexploit its potential by relying on static visual representations. In this paper, we propose CSFNet, a Coarse-to-Separate-Fine Network that introduces a recursive semantic enhancement paradigm for more effective separation. CSFNet operates in two …

PARROT: A Benchmark for Evaluating LLMs in Cross-System SQL Translation
Large language models (LLMS) have shown increasing effectiveness in Text-to-SQL tasks. However, another closely related problem, Cross-System SQL Translation (a.k.a., SQL-to-SQL), which adapts a query written for one database system (e.g., MySQL) into its equivalent one for another system (e.g., ClickHouse), is of great practical importance but remains underexplored. Existing SQL benchmarks are not well-suited for SQL-to-SQL evaluation, which (1) focus on a limited set of database systems (ofte…
