When Donald Trump last attended a Group of 7 meeting in Canada, he was in many ways the odd man out.
At that meeting, in 2018, Trump called for the alliance of Western countries to embrace Russia,
antagonized allies and
ultimately stormed out of the summit over a trade battle he began by imposing metals tariffs on Canada.
As he returns on Sunday for the Group of 7 meeting in Alberta, those fissures have only deepened.
Since retaking office, the president has sough…

As Trump Returns to G7, Rift With Allies Is Even Deeper
In 2018, the president called for the group to embrace Russia and stormed out of the summit. Now he is seeking to shrink America’s military role abroad and embarking on a more expansive trade war.

Zahlen, bitte! Albert Einsteins 8-Minuten-Streit um die Sonne
Wirkt sich die explodierende Sonne sofort oder erst nach 8 Minuten auf die Erde aus? Zu der Diskussion schuf Einstein 1915 die Allgemeine Relativitätstheorie.

Hatevolution: What Static Benchmarks Don't Tell Us
Language changes over time, including in the hate speech domain, which evolves quickly following social dynamics and cultural shifts. While NLP research has investigated the impact of language evolution on model training and has proposed several solutions for it, its impact on model benchmarking remains under-explored. Yet, hate speech benchmarks play a crucial role to ensure model safety. In this paper, we empirically evaluate the robustness of 20 language models across two evolving hate speec…

MBSR at Work: Perspectives from an Instructor and Software Developers
In this paper, we present the preliminary findings from a qualitative study (i.e., semi-structured interviews) on how a Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program, carried out in the Software Development (SD) working context, is perceived by the software developers of a multinational company who participated in the MBSR program and by the instructor who led it. MBSR is a deeply personal and experiential practice in helping individuals manage stress, particularly in high-pressure environm…

Phonikud: Hebrew Grapheme-to-Phoneme Conversion for Real-Time Text-to-Speech
Real-time text-to-speech (TTS) for Modern Hebrew is challenging due to the language's orthographic complexity. Existing solutions ignore crucial phonetic features such as stress that remain underspecified even when vowel marks are added. To address these limitations, we introduce Phonikud, a lightweight, open-source Hebrew grapheme-to-phoneme (G2P) system that outputs fully-specified IPA transcriptions. Our approach adapts an existing diacritization model with lightweight adaptors, incurring ne…
