I did an interview for the podcast "Locally Sourced" earlier this week; hopefully I didn't ramble too much: #NHPolitics

O pior é que, além de estar sem energia elétrica, o dia estš nublado e chuvoso, muito escuro. Estou forçando muito meus olhos corrigindo esses trabalhos aqui agora. 🫤

Literature-Grounded Novelty Assessment of Scientific Ideas
Automated scientific idea generation systems have made remarkable progress, yet the automatic evaluation of idea novelty remains a critical and underexplored challenge. Manual evaluation of novelty through literature review is labor-intensive, prone to error due to subjectivity, and impractical at scale. To address these issues, we propose the Idea Novelty Checker, an LLM-based retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) framework that leverages a two-stage retrieve-then-rerank approach. The Idea Nove…

Provably convergent stochastic fixed-point algorithm for free-support Wasserstein barycenter of continuous non-parametric measures
We propose a provably convergent algorithm for approximating the 2-Wasserstein barycenter of continuous non-parametric probability measures. Our algorithm is inspired by the fixed-point iterative scheme of Álvarez-Esteban et al. (2016) whose convergence to the 2-Wasserstein barycenter relies on obtaining exact optimal transport (OT) maps. However, typically in practice, OT maps are only approximately computed and exact computation of OT maps between continuous probability measures is only trac…

All-optical mapping of ultrafast carrier dynamics in a Dirac semimetal
High-harmonic generation (HHG), the hallmark effect of attosecond science, is a nonperturbative nonlinear process leading to the emission of high harmonic light from gases and solids. In gases, extreme driving laser pulse intensities can deplete the ground state, suppressing harmonic emission during the trailing edge of the pulse. Here, we report pronounced ultrafast depletion dynamics during HHG in a gapless Dirac semimetal -- highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG). Remarkably, HOPG support…

Moin! Es ist leider wirklich so schön hier. #nofilter #Uckermark #project25

Portimão: 35 ºC
Faro é quase sempre mais temperado. Provavelmente a mais temperada terra em todo o Algarve... juntamente com Sagres... e a malta olha para a previsão para Faro e julga que se aplica ao Algarve como um todo.

From the second I went outside 5 hours ago, I've been non-stop sneezing.
NON STOP!
