The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development is preparing to
💥shut down seven major investigations and cases concerning alleged housing discrimination and segregation, including
⚠️ some where the agency already found civil rights violations, according to HUD records obtained by ProPublica.
The high-profile cases involve allegations that state and local governments across the South and Midwest illegally discriminated against people of color
by placing industrial…

Trump Administration Prepares to Drop Seven Major Housing Discrimination Cases
Federal housing officials spent years investigating cities from Chicago to Memphis to Corpus Christi for putting industrial plants and unwanted facilities in poor, nonwhite neighborhoods. Now, under Trump, the agency plans to drop the cases.

See it. Say it. Sorted: Agentic System for Compositional Diagram Generation
We study sketch-to-diagram generation: converting rough hand sketches into precise, compositional diagrams. Diffusion models excel at photorealism but struggle with the spatial precision, alignment, and symbolic structure required for flowcharts. We introduce See it. Say it. Sorted., a training-free agentic system that couples a Vision-Language Model (VLM) with Large Language Models (LLMs) to produce editable Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) programs. The system runs an iterative loop in which a …

Exploring the Interplay Between Quantum Entanglement and Decoherence
Quantum entanglement manifests as a distinctive correlation between particles that transcends classical boundaries when their quantum states cannot be described independently. On the other hand, as quantum systems interact with their surroundings, decoherence emerges, leading to the gradual decay of quantum coherence and entanglement. In the case of entanglement, this is known as entanglement sudden death (ESD). Decoherence mechanisms are examined, focusing on how various environmental factors,…

Bridging Research Gaps Between Academic Research and Legal Investigations of Algorithmic Discrimination
As algorithms increasingly take on critical roles in high-stakes areas such as credit scoring, housing, and employment, civil enforcement actions have emerged as a powerful tool for countering potential discrimination. These legal actions increasingly draw on algorithmic fairness research to inform questions such as how to define and detect algorithmic discrimination. However, current algorithmic fairness research, while theoretically rigorous, often fails to address the practical needs of lega…

Sensing decoherence by using edge state

Sensing decoherence by using edge state
In the absence of decoherence the current of fermionic particles across a finite lattice connecting two reservoirs (leads) with different chemical potentials is known to be ballistic. It is also known that decoherence typically suppresses this ballistic current. However, if decoherence is weak, the change in the current may be undetectable. In this work we show that the effect of a weak decoherence can be amplified by orders of magnitude if the lattice has edge states.
