On The Impact of Merge Request Deviations on Code Review Practices
Code review is a key practice in software engineering, ensuring quality and collaboration. However, industrial Merge Request (MR) workflows often deviate from standardized review processes, with many MRs serving non-review purposes (e.g., drafts, rebases, or dependency updates). We term these cases deviations and hypothesize that ignoring them biases analytics and undermines ML models for review analysis. We identify seven deviation categories, occurring in 37.02% of MRs, and propose a few-sh…

FedRAG: A Framework for Fine-Tuning Retrieval-Augmented Generation Systems
Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems have been shown to be effective in addressing many of the drawbacks of relying solely on the parametric memory of large language models. Recent work has demonstrated that RAG systems can be improved via fine-tuning of their retriever and generator models. In this work, we introduce FedRAG, a framework for fine-tuning RAG systems across centralized and federated architectures. FedRAG supports state-of-the-art fine-tuning methods, offering a simple and…

A Review on Score-based Generative Models for Audio Applications
Diffusion models have emerged as powerful deep generative techniques, producing high-quality and diverse samples in applications in various domains including audio. These models have many different design choices suitable for different applications, however, existing reviews lack in-depth discussions of these design choices. The audio diffusion model literature also lacks principled guidance for the implementation of these design choices and their comparisons for different applications. This su…

Was Donald Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to Los Angeles to quell demonstrations a dress rehearsal for what’s to come in other states or nationally?
The Atlantic’s David Frum thinks it is.
And he’s not alone in this fear.
If so it’d be another longtime-prediction by those accused of having Trump Derangement Syndrome having come true.
There are increasing indications the administration will expand its use of the military domestically.

Experimental observation of subabsorption
We predict and experimentally demonstrate a new type of collective (cooperative) coupling effect where a disordered atomic ensemble absorbs light with a rise-time longer (i. e., at a rate slower) than what is dictated by single-atom physics. This effect, which we name subabsorption, can be viewed as the absorptive analog of subradiance. The experiment is performed using a dilute ensemble of ultracold $^{87}$Rb atoms with a low optical depth, and time-resolving the absorption of a weak (tens of …

Observation of Uniform Supercurrent Flow in Polycrystalline K-doped Ba122 by Combined Magneto-optical Imaging and Finite-element Modeling
Macroscopic current uniformity in a (Ba,K)Fe2As2 bulk sample produced by a process that demonstrated high trapped magnetic fields was evaluated through a comparative experimental and modeling approach. The bulk sample, with a well-defined square geometry, exhibited ideal roof-top patterns in magneto-optical (MO) images. Comparison of the magnetic moment, MO images, and finite element modeling results showed good agreement for the critical current density, suggesting that the supercurrent circul…

Virtualizing RAN: Science, Strategy, and Architecture of Software-Defined Mobile Networks
Virtualising the Radio Access Network (RAN) is widely touted as the corner-stone of affordable 5G and a prerequisite for AI-native 6G. Yet current discourse often isolates spectrum policy, cloud engineering and organisational readiness into silos. This paper delivers an integrated analysis that spans science, technology, business strategy and culture. I first review spectrum-auction economics and show-via a comparative study of T-Mobile US and Verizon-that mid-band contiguity leveraged through …
