SemCSE-Multi: Multifaceted and Decodable Embeddings for Aspect-Specific and Interpretable Scientific Domain Mapping
We propose SemCSE-Multi, a novel unsupervised framework for generating multifaceted embeddings of scientific abstracts, evaluated in the domains of invasion biology and medicine. These embeddings capture distinct, individually specifiable aspects in isolation, thus enabling fine-grained and controllable similarity assessments as well as adaptive, user-driven visualizations of scientific domains. Our approach relies on an unsupervised procedure that produces aspect-specific summarizing sentences…

Well that took a bit longer than I hoped thanks to some derps on my part, but I'm parsing incoming PCIe DLLPs and validating their checksums.
Next step will be to figure out that a type 0x40 DLLP with payload 074040 is actually an InitFC1-P DLLP for virtual circuit 0 for 29 headers and 1024 data bytes.
And do something useful with that information.

Cameras are funny computers.
This one has no TFTP upload or similar, so I'm dumping the firmware over the UART through U-Boot's md.b command.
It is terribly slow, but it works. 🙂

Iron-based magnetic material achieves major reduction in core loss
A research team from NIMS, Tohoku University and AIST has developed a new technique for controlling the nanostructures and magnetic domain structures of iron-based soft amorphous ribbons, achieving more than a 50% reduction in core loss compared with the initial amorphous material.
