#Zypern kämpft weiter mit massiven Problemen in der #Abfallwirtschaft.
Rund 700 illegale #Mülldeponien verschmutzen

Tut Zypern genug, um illegale Mülldeponien zu bekämpfen?
Die Republik Zypern hat ein ernstes Problem mit ihrer Abfallwirtschaft. Die Insel recycelt weit weniger als in den Rechtsvorschriften der Europäischen Union vorgeschrieben, und viel mehr wird auf Mülldeponien entsorgt. Außerdem gibt es dort zahlreiche illegale Müllkippen. #EuropeansStories

Unifying Streaming and Non-streaming Zipformer-based ASR
There has been increasing interest in unifying streaming and non-streaming automatic speech recognition (ASR) models to reduce development, training, and deployment costs. We present a unified framework that trains a single end-to-end ASR model for both streaming and non-streaming applications, leveraging future context information. We propose to use dynamic right-context through the chunked attention masking in the training of zipformer-based ASR models. We demonstrate that using right-context…

Zaubern oder nicht zaubern?🤔

Mieliśmy dziś o 3 nad ranem płynąć promem z BodŸ do Moskenes - skrócić sobie trasę lądową o jakieś 6h jazdy. Okazało się niestety, że przewóz psa tylko w klatce albo w zamkniętym garażu pod pokładem w samochodzie. Ani możliwości wykupienia kabiny, ani zabrania psa nawet na deck.

Zostanie samemu w aucie jest oczywiście zbyt niebezpieczne, ale pies to towar wiec luz. Całe lata socjalizacji by poszły w piz... Ehh, pod tym względem Włochy to był raj dla podróży z psem - zero problemów, wysta…

Het doel is duidelijk: heel Gaza moet onleefbaar gemaakt worden. Hoe beter dat lukt, hoe makkelijker de etnische zuivering.

ZipVoice: Fast and High-Quality Zero-Shot Text-to-Speech with Flow Matching
Existing large-scale zero-shot text-to-speech (TTS) models deliver high speech quality but suffer from slow inference speeds due to massive parameters. To address this issue, this paper introduces ZipVoice, a high-quality flow-matching-based zero-shot TTS model with a compact model size and fast inference speed. Key designs include: 1) a Zipformer-based flow-matching decoder to maintain adequate modeling capabilities under constrained size; 2) Average upsampling-based initial speech-text alignm…

#CFP: Seeking Chapters on Foucault’s History of Sexuality, Power, & Knowledge; Proposals Due July 1, 2025
Seeking chapters drawing on Foucault’s history of sexuality to analyze transgender themes in Indian film, television, and web series. We seek a diverse group of contributors from countries throughout the world. Chapters will be included in The Handbook of Indian Trans Cinema, alongside other chapters applying Foucauldian insights into power, knowledge, and discourse. (See Theme 13 below.) Proposals are due July 1, 2025.

Inverse Design in Distributed Circuits Using Single-Step Reinforcement Learning
The goal of inverse design in distributed circuits is to generate near-optimal designs that meet a desirable transfer function specification. Existing design exploration methods use some combination of strategies involving artificial grids, differentiable evaluation procedures, and specific template topologies. However, real-world design practices often require non-differentiable evaluation procedures, varying topologies, and near-continuous placement spaces. In this paper, we propose DCIDA, a …
