Oh wow! Beyerdynamic is being acquired by a Chinese company called Cosonic. Feels very AKG-esque, but of course, “nothing will change.”

VisText-Mosquito: A Multimodal Dataset and Benchmark for AI-Based Mosquito Breeding Site Detection and Reasoning
Mosquito-borne diseases pose a major global health risk, requiring early detection and proactive control of breeding sites to prevent outbreaks. In this paper, we present VisText-Mosquito, a multimodal dataset that integrates visual and textual data to support automated detection, segmentation, and reasoning for mosquito breeding site analysis. The dataset includes 1,828 annotated images for object detection, 142 images for water surface segmentation, and natural language reasoning texts linked…

Interactive Hybrid Rice Breeding with Parametric Dual Projection
Hybrid rice breeding crossbreeds different rice lines and cultivates the resulting hybrids in fields to select those with desirable agronomic traits, such as higher yields. Recently, genomic selection has emerged as an efficient way for hybrid rice breeding. It predicts the traits of hybrids based on their genes, which helps exclude many undesired hybrids, largely reducing the workload of field cultivation. However, due to the limited accuracy of genomic prediction models, breeders still need t…

Ich empfinde dies witzig, weil dies u.a. die tragische Wahrheit offen zeigt, in dem der Donald sich stumpf als mächtig darstellen möchte.

Bloody assholes.

#Deutschland und #Großbritannien sind seit heute übrigens nicht mehr verfeindet, sondern befreundet.
Jetzt planen sie die gemeinsame Vergangenheit. 🤭
