Lensed quasars in CatNorth I. Wide-separation candidates
Wide-separation lensed quasars (WSLQs) are a rare subclass of strongly lensed quasars produced by massive galaxy clusters. They provide valuable probes of dark-matter halos and quasar host galaxies. However, only about ten WSLQ systems are currently known, which limits further studies. To enlarge the sample from wide-area surveys, we developed a catalog-based pipeline and applied it to the CatNorth database, a catalog of quasar candidates constructed from Gaia DR3. CatNorth contains 1,545,514 q…

PAT++: a cautionary tale about generative visual augmentation for Object Re-identification
Generative data augmentation has demonstrated gains in several vision tasks, but its impact on object re-identification - where preserving fine-grained visual details is essential - remains largely unexplored. In this work, we assess the effectiveness of identity-preserving image generation for object re-identification. Our novel pipeline, named PAT++, incorporates Diffusion Self-Distillation into the well-established Part-Aware Transformer. Using the Urban Elements ReID Challenge dataset, we c…

CodeMorph: Mitigating Data Leakage in Large Language Model Assessment
Concerns about benchmark leakage in large language models for code (Code LLMs) have raised issues of data contamination and inflated evaluation metrics. The diversity and inaccessibility of many training datasets make it difficult to prevent data leakage entirely, even with time lag strategies. Consequently, generating new datasets through code perturbation has become essential. However, existing methods often fail to produce complex and diverse variations, struggle with complex cross-file depe…

Merz bevorzugt „Technologieoffenheit“ – aka: Lieber zehn Jahre länger auf den ollen Verbrenner setzen, bis die E-Autos „wirklich“ marktfähig sind. Praktisch: So kann die Autoindustrie noch weiter Schrauben drehen, bevor der Wandel kommt. SPD-Kollegin Cademartori bleibt realistisch: Firmenflotten zu elektrifizieren ist wie Frühjahrsputz fürs Klima – je eher, desto besser. Hier weiterlesen #Golem

Elektroautos: Merz gegen schnelle Elektrifizierung von Firmenflotten - Golem.de
Bundeskanzler Merz hat wenig Vertrauen in die Marktfähigkeit von Elektroautos. Die SPD begrüßt hingegen Überlegungen zur E-Auto-Pflicht von Dienstwagen.

Musk's Grok signs $200m deal with Pentagon just days after antisemitism row
The deal is part of the Trump administration's push for more aggressive adoption of artificial intelligence in the government.
