Few-shot transfer of tool-use skills using human demonstrations with proximity and tactile sensing
Tools extend the manipulation abilities of robots, much like they do for humans. Despite human expertise in tool manipulation, teaching robots these skills faces challenges. The complexity arises from the interplay of two simultaneous points of contact: one between the robot and the tool, and another between the tool and the environment. Tactile and proximity sensors play a crucial role in identifying these complex contacts. However, learning tool manipulation using these sensors remains challe…

Parece que finalmente acabou a época dos mosquitos aqui em Portimão. Mas as marcas continuam cš. Tenho as pernas todas pintalgadas.
Nunca passei por nada assim. Nunca fui devorado desta forma. Culpo os palermas que destroem ninhos de andorinha porque "ai, sujam tudo".

Learning the Topic, Not the Language: How LLMs Classify Online Immigration Discourse Across Languages
Large language models (LLMs) are transforming social-science research by enabling scalable, precise analysis. Their adaptability raises the question of whether knowledge acquired through fine-tuning in a few languages can transfer to unseen languages that only appeared during pre-training. To examine this, we fine-tune lightweight LLaMA 3.2-3B models on monolingual, bilingual, or multilingual data sets to classify immigration-related tweets from X/Twitter across 13 languages, a domain character…

Dynamical neutron-star tides: The signature of a mode resonance
Motivated by future opportunities in gravitational-wave astronomy and the ongoing effort to constrain physics under extreme conditions, we consider the signature of individual mode resonances excited during the inspiral of binary systems involving neutron stars. Specifically, we quantify how each resonant mode contributes to the effective (frequency-dependent) tidal deformability. The resonant solution is shown to be accurately represented by a new closed-form approximation, which sheds light o…

Street design and driving behavior: evidence from a large-scale study in Milan, Amsterdam, and Dubai
In recent years, cities have increasingly reduced speed limits from 50 km/h to 30 km/h to enhance road safety, reduce noise pollution, and promote sustainable modes of transportation. However, achieving compliance with these new limits remains a key challenge for urban planners. This study investigates drivers' compliance with the 30 km/h speed limit in Milan and examines how street characteristics influence driving behavior. Our findings suggest that the mere introduction of lower speed limits…

Interessanter Beitrag dazu, dass in unserer Welt vieles auf Männer ausgerichtet ist. Diesmal: Fußball
Da Frauen im Schnitt 15 % kleiner sind als Männer u. weniger Muskelmasse haben, müssten Spielfeld und Tor um 15 % verkleinert und die Spielzeit entsprechend verkürzt werden.
Das Experiment wurde tatsächlich gemacht, allerdings anders rum: Alles wurde vergrößert u. verlängert (der Ball wurde zudem schwerer) und dann haben die Männer unter diesen Bedingungen gespielt 🧵

Signal processing and data acquisition system for the BTO detectors onboard COSI
The energy range from a few hundred keV to a few MeV includes important probes such as nuclear gamma-rays and the 511 keV annihilation line. However, compared to X-rays and GeV/TeV gamma-rays, this range suffers from lower sensitivity by orders of magnitude. The upcoming NASA SMEX satellite mission Compton Spectrometer and Imager (COSI), scheduled for launch in 2027, is expected to break through this limitation with its Compton telescope utilizing a germanium semiconductor detector, covering th…
