Finally have seen the Yokohama v #LFC match.
Two heartwarming moments:
1. the crowd's respectful and classy standing applause for Jota at 20'
2. VVD giving the armband to Endo and his reception by the home crowd
The pitch really was poor, and the ball skipped a lot, which caused a lot of moments to look worse than they were, particularly a few efforts near goal.

VoCap: Video Object Captioning and Segmentation from Any Prompt
Understanding objects in videos in terms of fine-grained localization masks and detailed semantic properties is a fundamental task in video understanding. In this paper, we propose VoCap, a flexible video model that consumes a video and a prompt of various modalities (text, box or mask), and produces a spatio-temporal masklet with a corresponding object-centric caption. As such our model addresses simultaneously the tasks of promptable video object segmentation, referring expression segmentatio…

Charge acceleration without radiation
The existence of electromagnetic radiation - radio-waves, microwaves, light, x-rays and so on - is one of the most important physical phenomena, and our ability to manipulate them is one of the most significant technological achievement of humankind. Underlying this ability is our understanding of how radiation is produced: whenever an electric charge is accelerated, it radiates. Or, at least, this is how it has been hitherto universally thought. Here we prove that quantum mechanically electric…

On Spectral Learning for Odeco Tensors: Perturbation, Initialization, and Algorithms
We study spectral learning for orthogonally decomposable (odeco) tensors, emphasizing the interplay between statistical limits, optimization geometry, and initialization. Unlike matrices, recovery for odeco tensors does not hinge on eigengaps, yielding improved robustness under noise. While iterative methods such as tensor power iterations can be statistically efficient, initialization emerges as the main computational bottleneck. We investigate perturbation bounds, non-convex optimization anal…

"Having Lunch Now": Understanding How Users Engage with a Proactive Agent for Daily Planning and Self-Reflection
Conversational agents have been studied as tools to scaffold planning and self-reflection for productivity and well-being. While prior work has demonstrated positive outcomes, we still lack a clear understanding of what drives these results and how users behave and communicate with agents that act as coaches rather than assistants. Such understanding is critical for designing interactions in which agents foster meaningful behavioral change. We conducted a 14-day longitudinal study with 12 parti…

Digital Quantum Simulation of Spin Transport
Understanding transport phenomena in quantum spin systems has long intrigued physicists due to their potential applications in spintronic devices and spin qubits. Here, using a superconducting-qubit-based transmon device, we show that pre-fault-tolerant digital quantum simulation is reliable for studying transport phenomena via spin-current autocorrelation function (ACF). While quantum simulations of the spin-spin ACF have been used to probe spin transport, methods based on the spin-current ACF…
