Braucht ihr Audio- oder Bühnenequipment? Wir kaufen viel bei DJ-checkpoint.de (vor allem Lampen, Kabel, aber die haben auch Mikrofone und alles andere)— mit dem Code DARKK gibt es da 5 % Rabatt (wir kriegen davon nichts). Chef Daniel ist einfach ein guter Typ, kann man supporten.
Vielleicht habt ihr ein paar Musikanten-FreundInnen, die das interessiert. 🚀

GDNSQ: Gradual Differentiable Noise Scale Quantization for Low-bit Neural Networks
Quantized neural networks can be viewed as a chain of noisy channels, where rounding in each layer reduces capacity as bit-width shrinks; the floating-point (FP) checkpoint sets the maximum input rate. We track capacity dynamics as the average bit-width decreases and identify resulting quantization bottlenecks by casting fine-tuning as a smooth, constrained optimization problem. Our approach employs a fully differentiable Straight-Through Estimator (STE) with learnable bit-width, noise scale an…

Checkpoint 1 closes in about 1 hour. A bunch of riders very close and another 11 about 7 to 8 km away.

This is for DEVS ->
When you write an interface program to load data from an external source you DO NOT ABEND if the key field in the input file is not in the database. YOU WRITE AN ERROR REPORT and continue on. If you do need to abend then make sure your program has checkpoint logic and not rollback of EVERY transaction and then put out full information on what caused the abend, which input file and what record.
BTW, also put in edit rules for fields before even trying to s…

New Insights into Automatic Treatment Planning for Cancer Radiotherapy Using Explainable Artificial Intelligence
Objective: This study aims to uncover the opaque decision-making process of an artificial intelligence (AI) agent for automatic treatment planning. Approach: We examined a previously developed AI agent based on the Actor-Critic with Experience Replay (ACER) network, which automatically tunes treatment planning parameters (TPPs) for inverse planning in prostate cancer intensity modulated radiotherapy. We selected multiple checkpoint ACER agents from different stages of training and applied an …

Puh, das wird echt knapp am Checkpoint 2. Könnte mir vorstellen, dass da einige den Cutoff knapp verpassen. 😬

Predictive Significance of CD276/B7-H3 Expression in Baseline Biopsies of Advanced Prostate Carcinoma
At the time of diagnosis, prostate cancer can appear deceptively mild or already display signs of widespread disease. Predicting long-term outcomes is often uncertain. This research focused on measuring CD276/B7-H3, an immune checkpoint protein linked to tumor development, in diagnostic tissue samples from 248 men. Participants included both those with cancer confined to the prostate and those with confirmed metastases. Analysis showed that patients with metastatic disease were more likely to e…

DaiFu: In-Situ Crash Recovery for Deep Learning Systems
Deep learning (DL) systems have been widely adopted in many areas, and are becoming even more popular with the emergence of large language models. However, due to the complex software stacks involved in their development and execution, crashes are unavoidable and common. Crashes severely waste computing resources and hinder development productivity, so efficient crash recovery is crucial. Existing solutions, such as checkpoint-retry, are too heavyweight for fast recovery from crashes caused by …

Bridging Critical Gaps in Convergent Learning: How Representational Alignment Evolves Across Layers, Training, and Distribution Shifts
Understanding convergent learning -- the degree to which independently trained neural systems -- whether multiple artificial networks or brains and models -- arrive at similar internal representations -- is crucial for both neuroscience and AI. Yet, the literature remains narrow in scope -- typically examining just a handful of models with one dataset, relying on one alignment metric, and evaluating networks at a single post-training checkpoint. We present a large-scale audit of convergent lear…
