Just about to install Ubuntu Studio on my younger boy's clapped out (munted) school BYOD Thinkpad (purchased refurbished 5 yrs ago) so I can use it for music recording. Maybe. If it works.
How's your Friday night going?

High Probability Convergence of Distributed Clipped Stochastic Gradient Descent with Heavy-tailed Noise
In this paper, the problem of distributed optimization is studied via a network of agents. Each agent only has access to a noisy gradient of its own objective function, and can communicate with its neighbors via a network. To handle this problem, a distributed clipped stochastic gradient descent algorithm is proposed, and the high probability convergence of the algorithm is studied. Existing works on distributed algorithms involving stochastic gradients only consider the light-tailed noises. Di…

Get on the Train or be Left on the Station: Using LLMs for Software Engineering Research
The adoption of Large Language Models (LLMs) is not only transforming software engineering (SE) practice but is also poised to fundamentally disrupt how research is conducted in the field. While perspectives on this transformation range from viewing LLMs as mere productivity tools to considering them revolutionary forces, we argue that the SE research community must proactively engage with and shape the integration of LLMs into research practices, emphasizing human agency in this transformation…

Homological invariant properties under cleft extensions
We study the behavior of the Gorenstein weak global dimension and Gorenstein flat-cotorsion global dimension under a cleft extension of rings; we prove that under some mild conditons the finiteness of the Gorenstein weak global dimension and that of the Gorenstein flat-cotorsion global dimension are both invariant. Moreover, we compare the relative singularity categories with respect to flat-cotorsion modules under a cleft extension of rings. Some applications to θ-extensions and Morita contex…

Recursive KalmanNet: Deep Learning-Augmented Kalman Filtering for State Estimation with Consistent Uncertainty Quantification
State estimation in stochastic dynamical systems with noisy measurements is a challenge. While the Kalman filter is optimal for linear systems with independent Gaussian white noise, real-world conditions often deviate from these assumptions, prompting the rise of data-driven filtering techniques. This paper introduces Recursive KalmanNet, a Kalman-filter-informed recurrent neural network designed for accurate state estimation with consistent error covariance quantification. Our approach propaga…
