VILA: [On communicator] Avon.
AVON: Well?
VILA: [On communicator] There's no response. What's going on, where are they?
AVON: Inside. It must be shielded.
VILA: [On communicator] Do you want to come up?
AVON: No.

Idk how trails in the sky could be any longer. This game had sooo much text. Though perhaps full voice acting will make it less tedious because it was good but took so long.

FedBiF: Communication-Efficient Federated Learning via Bits Freezing
Federated learning (FL) is an emerging distributed machine learning paradigm that enables collaborative model training without sharing local data. Despite its advantages, FL suffers from substantial communication overhead, which can affect training efficiency. Recent efforts have mitigated this issue by quantizing model updates to reduce communication costs. However, most existing methods apply quantization only after local training, introducing quantization errors into the trained parameters a…

Language of Persuasion and Misrepresentation in Business Communication: A Textual Detection Approach
Business communication digitisation has reorganised the process of persuasive discourse, which allows not only greater transparency but also advanced deception. This inquiry synthesises classical rhetoric and communication psychology with linguistic theory and empirical studies in the financial reporting, sustainability discourse, and digital marketing to explain how deceptive language can be systematically detected using persuasive lexicon. In controlled settings, detection accuracies …

On the Impact of Classical and Quantum Communication Networks Upon Modular Quantum Computing Architecture System Performance
Modular architectures are a promising approach to scaling quantum computers beyond the limits of monolithic designs. However, non-local communications between different quantum processors might significantly impact overall system performance. In this work, we investigate the role of the network infrastructure in modular quantum computing architectures, focusing on coherence loss due to communication constraints. We analyze the impact of classical network latency on quantum teleportation and ide…

Improving quantum communication rates with permutation-invariant codes
In this work we improve the quantum communication rates of various quantum channels of interest using permutation-invariant quantum codes. We focus in particular on parametrized families of quantum channels and aim to improve bounds on their quantum capacity threshold, defined as the lowest noise level at which the quantum capacity of the channel family vanishes. These thresholds are important quantities as they mark the noise level up to which faithful quantum communication is theoretically po…
