Dieses Wochenende wird Sa. / So. in der Porsche Arena in Stuttgart das Musical über Paul Schneider, den Prediger von Buchenwald aufgeführt. Es gibt noch Karten und mich kann man am Sonntagabend mit Talar bei der Beerdigung erleben.
Ein kleiner Bericht findet sich hier http…

"KI ermögliche nämlich das, was in Zeiten des Lehrermangels immer schwerer werde: Individualisierung. "Einem Lehrer fallen zur Illustration des Stoffes vielleicht ein paar Beispiele ein, eine KI kann aber unendlich viele Beispiele anführen, den Zusammenhang in einer Grafik darstellen oder erklären, wozu dieses Wissen sinnvoll ist", erläutert Helm. Gerade in heterogenen Klassen sei das wichtig und komme derzeit häufig zu kurz."

DRES: Benchmarking LLMs for Disfluency Removal
Disfluencies -- such as "um," "uh," interjections, parentheticals, and edited statements -- remain a persistent challenge for speech-driven systems, degrading accuracy in command interpretation, summarization, and conversational agents. We introduce DRES (Disfluency Removal Evaluation Suite), a controlled text-level benchmark that establishes a reproducible semantic upper bound for this task. DRES builds on human-annotated Switchboard transcripts, isolating disfluency removal from ASR errors an…

Z-Scores: A Metric for Linguistically Assessing Disfluency Removal
Evaluating disfluency removal in speech requires more than aggregate token-level scores. Traditional word-based metrics such as precision, recall, and F1 (E-Scores) capture overall performance but cannot reveal why models succeed or fail. We introduce Z-Scores, a span-level linguistically-grounded evaluation metric that categorizes system behavior across distinct disfluency types (EDITED, INTJ, PRN). Our deterministic alignment module enables robust mapping between generated text and disfluent …

SDSS-V Black Hole Mapper: The Index Diagram as a tool to disentangle the influence of the Host Galaxy in Quasar spectra
We revisit the Quasar Main Sequence (QMS) by investigating the impact of the stellar component from the host galaxy (HG) on the emission line spectra of the active galactic nuclei (AGN). We first detect spectra with broad emission lines using a line ratio method for a sample of $\sim$3000 high SNR ($>$20) Black Hole Mapper objects (part of the fifth phase of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey). We then built the Index diagram, a novel diagnostic tool using the $z$-corrected spectra, model-free, desig…

MINDS: The very low-mass star and brown dwarf sample II. Probing disk settling, dust properties, and dust-gas interplay with JWST/MIRI

MINDS: The very low-mass star and brown dwarf sample II. Probing disk settling, dust properties, and dust-gas interplay with JWST/MIRI
Disks around very low-mass stars (VLMS) provide environments for the formation of Earth-like planets. Mid-infrared observations have revealed that these disks exhibit weak silicate features and strong hydrocarbon emissions. This study characterizes the dust properties and geometrical structures of VLMS and brown dwarf (BD) disks, observed by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)/Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI), and connects these to gas column density and potential evolutionary stages. We analyz…

Discovering the $D_0^\ast(2100)$ in $B$ semileptonic decays
The mass and width of the lightest scalar open-charm state listed in the Review of Particle Physics, the $D_0^\ast(2300)$, are in puzzling tension with predictions from unitarized chiral perturbation theory (UChPT) and lattice QCD, which favor a lighter state at around $2100$ MeV. However, to date, no direct experimental evidence for this lighter state exists. In an effort to facilitate a direct observation, we introduce angular asymmetries of $B\rightarrow D π\ell ν$ decays that allow for a …

Former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) immunizations chief
Dr. Demetre Daskalakis said Sunday that
he’s concerned with the direction the agency is going and worried about public health going forward.
Daskalakis, who served as director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases,
submitted his resignation from the CDC on Wednesday in protest following the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) removing CDC Director Susan Mona…
