No protection from bottom trawling for seamount chain in northern Pacific
The Emperor Seamount Chain is a massive and richly biodiverse set of underwater mountains stretching about 3,000 kilometers (1,900 miles) south from the Aleutian Islands in the northwest Pacific. From the 1960s until the 1980s, bottom trawlers plied the area aggressively, decimating deep-sea coral communities and fish stocks, and removing biomass to a degree not […]

K-CIRCT: A Layered, Composable, and Executable Formal Semantics for CIRCT Hardware IRs
CIRCT, an open-source EDA framework akin to LLVM for software, is a foundation for various hardware description languages. Despite its crucial role, CIRCT's lack of formal semantics challenges necessary rigorous hardware verification. Thus, this paper introduces K-CIRCT, the first formal semantics in {\K} for a substantial CIRCT subset adequate for simulating a RISC-V processor. Our semantics are structured into multiple layers: (1) MLIR static semantics, which covers fundamental MLIR concepts …

Daines' mild mannered image doesn't match his ultra-right policies – Daily Montanan
Columnist Darrell Ehrlick says that Sen. Steve Daines, a Republican from Montana, has a nice affable demeanor, but that hides a bitter partisan.

A BiRGAT Model for Multi-intent Spoken Language Understanding with Hierarchical Semantic Frames
Previous work on spoken language understanding (SLU) mainly focuses on single-intent settings, where each input utterance merely contains one user intent. This configuration significantly limits the surface form of user utterances and the capacity of output semantics. In this work, we first propose a Multi-Intent dataset which is collected from a realistic in-Vehicle dialogue System, called MIVS. The target semantic frame is organized in a 3-layer hierarchical structure to tackle the alignment …

Clio: Real-time Task-Driven Open-Set 3D Scene Graphs
Modern tools for class-agnostic image segmentation (e.g., SegmentAnything) and open-set semantic understanding (e.g., CLIP) provide unprecedented opportunities for robot perception and mapping. While traditional closed-set metric-semantic maps were restricted to tens or hundreds of semantic classes, we can now build maps with a plethora of objects and countless semantic variations. This leaves us with a fundamental question: what is the right granularity for the objects (and, more generally, fo…

Codebook-enabled Generative End-to-end Semantic Communication Powered by Transformer
Codebook-based generative semantic communication attracts increasing attention, since only indices are required to be transmitted when the codebook is shared between transmitter and receiver. However, due to the fact that the semantic relations among code vectors are not necessarily related to the distance of the corresponding code indices, the performance of the codebook-enabled semantic communication system is susceptible to the channel noise. Thus, how to improve the system robustness agains…
