Ranking Quantilized Mean-Field Games with an Application to Early-Stage Venture Investments
Quantilized mean-field game models involve quantiles of the population's distribution. We study a class of such games with a capacity for ranking games, where the performance of each agent is evaluated based on its terminal state relative to the population's $α$-quantile value, $α\in (0,1)$. This evaluation criterion is designed to select the top $(1-α)\%$ performing agents. We provide two formulations for this competition: a target-based formulation and a threshold-based formulation. In the…

I discovered Ozzy via radio (and my dad had the first Sabbath record) but my wife discovered Ozzy in a different way. When she was younger, she was searching for 'Crazy' by Britney, but 'Crazy Train' came up, and she was like, 'what's this', and listened to it. She liked it, made it the custom ringtone for her mom's phone number, and kept it as that (it still is). 😂 She later heard the early Sabbath stuff and loved it, of course.

This is the main square in Piran, Slovenia, early morning today. Only 10 minutes away, the 22nd Extended Semantic Web Conference ESWC 2025 will take place, starting on Sunday, June 1st, 2025. I'm looking forward to meeting dear colleagues as well as old and new friends, listening to exciting keynotes, great presentations, and many more activities.

The Trump administration is preparing to begin the transfer of potentially thousands of foreigners who are in the United States illegally
to the U.S. military base in Guantšnamo Bay, Cuba,
starting as early as this week,
said U.S. officials familiar with the matter.

The foreign nationals under consideration hail from a range of countries.
They include hundreds from friendly European nations, including Britain, Italy, France, Germany, Ireland, Belgium, the Nethe…

Trump to ramp up transfers to Guantánamo, including citizens of allies
The administration aims to send thousands of foreigners to Guantánamo, including people from Britain and France, with no plans to notify their home governments.

Higher-order transmissibility and its linear approximation for in-service crack identification in train wheelset axles
In-service structural health monitoring is a so far rarely exploited, yet potent option for early-stage crack detection and identification in train wheelset axles. This procedure is non-trivial to enforce on the basis of a purely data-driven approach and typically requires the adoption of numerical, e.g. finite element-based, simulation schemes of the dynamic behavior of these axles. Damage in this particular case can be formulated as a breathing crack problem, which further complicates simulat…

Euclid: Early Release Observations. Weak gravitational lensing analysis of Abell 2390
The Euclid space telescope of the European Space Agency (ESA) is designed to provide sensitive and accurate measurements of weak gravitational lensing distortions over wide areas on the sky. Here we present a weak gravitational lensing analysis of early Euclid observations obtained for the field around the massive galaxy cluster Abell 2390 as part of the Euclid Early Release Observations programme. We conduct galaxy shape measurements using three independent algorithms (LensMC, KSB+, and Source…

Muon tracking in a LiquidO opaque scintillator detector
LiquidO is an innovative radiation detector concept. The core idea is to exploit stochastic light confinement in a highly scattering medium to self-segment the detector volume. In this paper, we demonstrate event-by-event muon tracking in a LiquidO opaque scintillator detector prototype. The detector consists of a 30 mm cubic scintillator volume instrumented with 64 wavelength-shifting fibres arranged in an 8$\times$8 grid with a 3.2 mm pitch and read out by silicon photomultipliers. A wax-base…
