Efficient Multilingual ASR Finetuning via LoRA Language Experts
Recent advancements in deep learning have significantly enhanced multilingual automatic speech recognition (ASR) due to the development of advanced model architectures and available large-scale multilingual datasets. Despite that, multilingual ASR still suffers from the curse of multilinguality in that different languages tend to interfere with each other, making it difficult for the ASR model to identify multiple languages effectively while sharing model capacity across them. This paper propos…

I keep seeing posts about Sydney Sweeney (who I'm aware is a terrible person), and almost every single response is "wait, who is she and why should we care?"
And while I agree that we shouldn't care (I certainly don't!), I can't help but be shocked that no one's seen Euphoria?
[edit: forgot about White Lotus, but it's not as good as Euphoria imo]

The billions and billions of dollars this bill pumps into ICE far exceed any conceivable legitimate need the agency could have, even if you agree with its mission.
This bill takes the same masked, anonymous gunmen who have been kidnapping people off the streets and gives them a budget the size of a military.
This is not about honoring the law. This is not even about immigrants.
This is about creating a police state.
I see no other way to read these numbers.

Pauli Measurements Are Near-Optimal for Single-Qubit Tomography
We provide the first non-trivial lower bounds for single-qubit tomography algorithms and show that at least $Ω\left(\frac{10^N}{\sqrt{N} \varepsilon^2}\right)$ copies are required to learn an $N$-qubit state $ρ\in\mathbb{C}^{d\times d},d=2^N$ to within $\varepsilon$ trace distance. Pauli measurements, the most commonly used single-qubit measurement scheme, have recently been shown to require at most $O\left(\frac{10^N}{\varepsilon^2}\right)$ copies for this problem. Combining these results, w…

Gibt es hier noch andere Liebhaber der EOS-M Kameras? Ich liebe sie, weil sie so klein sind. Ich habe schon einige Reportagereihen damit geschossen, wo meine Gegenüber nicht schlecht gestaunt haben, dass ich nicht mit einer Monster DSLR Ausrüstung ankam.
Eigentlich ist die Reihe aber tot, weil Canon sie aufgegeben hat. Nun habe ich was neues entdeckt:

RedCoder: Automated Multi-Turn Red Teaming for Code LLMs
Large Language Models (LLMs) for code generation (i.e., Code LLMs) have demonstrated impressive capabilities in AI-assisted software development and testing. However, recent studies have shown that these models are prone to generating vulnerable or even malicious code under adversarial settings. Existing red-teaming approaches rely on extensive human effort, limiting their scalability and practicality, and generally overlook the interactive nature of real-world AI-assisted programming, which of…
