DE Dorance Armstrong expected to draw interest on open market
Dorance Armstrong has spent his entire six-year career with the Cowboys, but he is on track to reach the open market. Both Dallas and outside suitors have the veteran defensive end on the radar. After his rookie contract expired, Armstrong landed a two-year, $12M deal to remain with the Cowboys. He had produced little as a pass rusher across his first three campaigns in the league, but in 2021 the former fourth-rounder notched five sacks. That helped his value, but it will now stand at a higher…

Raney extensions of frames: algebraic aspects
We draw from Raney duality and generalize the notion of canonical extension for distributive lattices to the context of frames. This is a generalization because for distributive lattices we are in the context of coherent spaces, whereas frames represent arbitrary spaces. We introduce Raney extensions of frames, pairs $(L,C)$ where $C$ is a coframe, $L\subseteq C$ is a frame that meet-generates it, and the inclusion $L\subseteq C$ preserves the frame operations as well as the strongly exact meet…

DLP-GAN: Learning to Draw Modern Chinese Landscape Photos with Generative Adversarial Network
Chinese landscape painting has a unique and artistic style, and its drawing technique is highly abstract in both the use of color and the realistic representation of objects. Previous methods focus on transferring from modern photos to ancient ink paintings. However, little attention has been paid to translating landscape paintings into modern photos.

Non cooperative Liquidity Games and their application to bond market trading
We present a new type of game, the Liquidity Game. We draw inspiration from the UK government bond market and apply game theoretic approaches to its analysis. In Liquidity Games, market participants (agents) use non-cooperative games where the players' utility is directly defined by the liquidity of the game itself, offering a paradigm shift in our understanding of market dynamics. Each player's utility is intricately linked to the liquidity generated within the game, making the utility endogen…

Draw-and-Understand: Leveraging Visual Prompts to Enable MLLMs to Comprehend What You Want
The interaction between humans and artificial intelligence (AI) is a crucial factor that reflects the effectiveness of multimodal large language models (MLLMs). However, current MLLMs primarily focus on image-level comprehension and limit interaction to textual instructions, thereby constraining their flexibility in usage and depth of response. In this paper, we introduce the Draw-and-Understand project: a new model, a multi-domain dataset, and a challenging benchmark for visual prompting. Spec…

Versatile Scene-Consistent Traffic Scenario Generation as Optimization with Diffusion
Generating realistic and controllable agent behaviors in traffic simulation is crucial for the development of autonomous vehicles. This problem is often formulated as imitation learning (IL) from real-world driving data by either directly predicting future trajectories or inferring cost functions with inverse optimal control. In this paper, we draw a conceptual connection between IL and diffusion-based generative modeling and introduce a novel framework Versatile Behavior Diffusion (VBD) to sim…
