HapticLLaMA: A Multimodal Sensory Language Model for Haptic Captioning
Haptic captioning is the task of generating natural language descriptions from haptic signals, such as vibrations, for use in virtual reality, accessibility, and rehabilitation applications. While previous multimodal research has focused primarily on vision and audio, haptic signals for the sense of touch remain underexplored. To address this gap, we formalize the haptic captioning task and propose HapticLLaMA, a multimodal sensory language model that interprets vibration signals into descripti…

Symmetry breaking for inductive logic programming
The goal of inductive logic programming is to search for a hypothesis that generalises training data and background knowledge. The challenge is searching vast hypothesis spaces, which is exacerbated because many logically equivalent hypotheses exist. To address this challenge, we introduce a method to break symmetries in the hypothesis space. We implement our idea in answer set programming. Our experiments on multiple domains, including visual reasoning and game playing, show that our approach …

Handling Multiple Hypotheses in Coarse-to-Fine Dense Image Matching
Dense image matching aims to find a correspondent for every pixel of a source image in a partially overlapping target image. State-of-the-art methods typically rely on a coarse-to-fine mechanism where a single correspondent hypothesis is produced per source location at each scale. In challenging cases -- such as at depth discontinuities or when the target image is a strong zoom-in of the source image -- the correspondents of neighboring source locations are often widely spread and predicting a …

Reflexive Modules, the Infinite Root Algebra and the Generating Hypothesis
This thesis concerns the algebraic consequences of Freyd's Generating Hypothesis, and explores the question of whether there exists a self-injective ring R that can be constructed purely algebraically that exhibits some of the known properties of the stable homotopy ring, including some conjectured properties that follow from Freyd's Generating Hypothesis. As an example, we investigate the infinite root algebra of Hahn series P, firstly by establishing results for the related Hahn ring A. In pa…

A Conditional Reduction of the Rational Hodge Conjecture for Threefolds and Deformation-Theoretic Verifications in Several Families

A Conditional Reduction of the Rational Hodge Conjecture for Threefolds and Deformation-Theoretic Verifications in Several Families
We formulate a concrete geometric approximation hypothesis (Hypothesis~BB) asserting that codimension-$2$ Hodge classes on a smooth projective threefold can be realized as specializations of families whose general members are complete-intersection curves. We prove that Hypothesis~BB implies the (rational) Hodge conjecture for the threefold. We then give deformation-theoretic sufficient criteria (cohomology-vanishing and surjectivity conditions) which imply Hypothesis~BB, and we prove these crit…

Einerseits ist da diese Begeisterung möglichst viele Menschen mit sich in den Abgrund zu reißen und sicherlich sind da auch Leute, die gerne dabei zuschauen, wie sich andere herunterstürzen. Andererseits sind da Vertrauensverluste durch Intransparenz, sei es nur durch Filz in Politik und Regierung oder Wirtschaft.

From Knowledge to Conjectures: A Modal Framework for Reasoning about Hypotheses
This paper introduces a new family of cognitive modal logics designed to formalize conjectural reasoning: a modal system in which cognitive contexts extend known facts with hypothetical assumptions to explore their consequences. Unlike traditional doxastic and epistemic systems, conjectural logics rely on a principle, called Axiom C ($φ\rightarrow \Boxφ$), that ensures that all established facts are preserved across hypothetical layers. While Axiom C was dismissed in the past due to its assoc…
