Interference-induced cavity resonances and imaginary Rabi splitting
Polaritons are usually described within single-mode cavity QED models. However, nanophotonic environments typically involve several modes that spectrally overlap and interfere, giving rise to sharp dip features such as Fano profiles in the electromagnetic spectral density. Here, we identify these features as interference-induced resonances, effective electromagnetic modes with complex, non-Hermitian couplings to quantum emitters. We show that these modes hybridize with emitters to form polarito…

Artificial Intelligence Virtual Cells: From Measurements to Decisions across Modality, Scale, Dynamics, and Evaluation
Artificial Intelligence Virtual Cells (AIVCs) aim to learn executable, decision-relevant models of cell state from multimodal, multiscale measurements. Recent studies have introduced single-cell and spatial foundation models, improved cross-modality alignment, scaled perturbation atlases, and explored pathway-level readouts. Nevertheless, although held-out validation is standard practice, evaluations remain predominantly within single datasets and settings; evidence indicates that transport acr…

Small Area Estimation of General Indicators in Off-Census Years
We propose small area estimators of general indicators in off-census years, which avoid the use of deprecated census microdata, but are nearly optimal in census years. The procedure is based on replacing the obsolete census file with a larger unit-level survey that adequately covers the areas of interest and contains the values of useful auxiliary variables. However, the minimal data requirement of the proposed method is a single survey with microdata on the target variable and suitable auxilia…

How a ‘green gold rush’ in the Amazon led to dubious carbon deals on Indigenous lands
BARCELONA — In December 2022, one of Brazil’s largest Indigenous territories and one of the smallest would each sign a 118-page, 10-year contract they would soon come to regret —as would faraway investors looking to capitalize on the billion-dollar carbon and biodiversity markets. In Brazil’s lush westernmost states of Amazonas and Acre, which border Peru, […]

Articulation-Informed ASR: Integrating Articulatory Features into ASR via Auxiliary Speech Inversion and Cross-Attention Fusion
Prior works have investigated the use of articulatory features as complementary representations for automatic speech recognition (ASR), but their use was largely confined to shallow acoustic models. In this work, we revisit articulatory information in the era of deep learning and propose a framework that leverages articulatory representations both as an auxiliary task and as a pseudo-input to the recognition model. Specifically, we employ speech inversion as an auxiliary prediction task, and th…

Regarding oat milk, I tried a number of different products over the summer, and I agree, it’s become a very good alternative both wrt. taste and to consistency.
