Good Morning ESWC2025! The last conference day is about to start. Looking forward to an interesting keynote, more presentations and interesting discussions! Most interesting to see for me this year was the presence of neurosymbolic topics almost everywhere in our community.

De-AntiFake: Rethinking the Protective Perturbations Against Voice Cloning Attacks
The rapid advancement of speech generation models has heightened privacy and security concerns related to voice cloning (VC). Recent studies have investigated disrupting unauthorized voice cloning by introducing adversarial perturbations. However, determined attackers can mitigate these protective perturbations and successfully execute VC. In this study, we conduct the first systematic evaluation of these protective perturbations against VC under realistic threat models that include perturbatio…

A Neuralink Rival Just Tested a Brain Implant in a Person
Paradromics, a brain-computer-interface startup, inserted its brain implant in a person—briefly—in an early test of its technology.

Stability criteria for hybrid linear systems with singular perturbations
We study a class of singularly perturbed impulsive linear switched systems exhibiting switching between slow and fast dynamics. To analyze their behavior, we construct auxiliary switched systems evolving in a single time scale. The stability or instability of these auxiliary systems directly determines that of the original system in the regime of small singular perturbation parameters.

Neutron stars in degenerate higher-order scalar-tensor theories: Axial perturbations
We study the axial (or odd-parity) perturbations of neutron stars in a one-parameter subclass of Degenerate Higher-Order Scalar-tensor (DHOST) theories. After recalling the equilibrium neutron star configurations obtained in a previous work by solving the generalised Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equations in DHOST theories, we derive the action at quadratic order in linear perturbations of axial type. We then compute the quasi-normal modes (QNMs) for several values of the modified gravity paramet…

From Fluctuation to Polarization: Imprints of $O(1-10)\, \mathrm{Mpc}^{-1}$ Curvature Perturbations in CMB B-modes from Scalar-Induced Gravitational Waves
Probing primordial curvature perturbations on small scales, beyond those accessible using cosmic microwave background (CMB) primary anisotropies and Lyman-$α$ forest data, remains a major open challenge. Current constraints on the scalar power spectrum at these scales are either weak or rely heavily on model-dependent assumptions about small-scale structure. In this work, we propose a novel method to probe the small-scale primordial power spectrum using scalar-induced tensor perturbations, whi…
