Transcendental Encoding conjecture
We propose the Transcendental Encoding Conjecture for decision problems, which asserts that every language in complexity class P encodes to an algebraic real (possibly rational or algebraic irrational) under its binary characteristic encoding or other relevant encodings, whereas every NP-complete language encodes to a transcendental real. In particular, we exhibit languages whose encodings are provably rational (hence algebraic), discuss the status of encodings for other "natural" languages suc…

Comparative Analysis of Lion and AdamW Optimizers for Cross-Encoder Reranking with MiniLM, GTE, and ModernBERT
Modern information retrieval systems often employ a two-stage pipeline: an efficient initial retrieval stage followed by a computationally intensive reranking stage. Cross-encoders have shown strong effectiveness for reranking due to their deep analysis of query-document pairs. This paper studies the impact of the Lion optimizer, a recent alternative to AdamW, during fine-tuning of cross-encoder rerankers. We fine-tune three transformer models-MiniLM, GTE, and ModernBERT-on the MS MARCO passage…

Mixture of Encoders is a vector-native alternative that models both structured and unstructured data in a unified embedding space. Join Filip Makraduli as he introduces the method, demonstrates how it powers natural language search and real-time recommendations, and shares open-source tools and benchmarks for replacing complex hybrid stacks.

»Einstige Zukunftstechnologie – Wieso das Versprechen von Metaverse unerfüllt geblieben ist:
Metaverse ist von einem Begriff, der in aller Munde war, zu einem vergessenen Konzept geworden, das von der KI verdrängt wurde. Was bleibt von der einstigen Vision einer grossen virtuellen Parallelwelt von Zuckerberg und Co.?«
Die übliche rethorische Frage dazu: Wem.überrascht dies nun und wie sieht eure Web-KI-Zukunft aus?

Wieso das Versprechen von Metaverse unerfüllt geblieben ist
Der Hype um Metaverse ist längst verflogen. Was bleibt von der einstigen Vision einer grossen virtuellen Parallelwelt?

Multi-mode feedback cooling of the collective modes of a Bose-Einstein condensate
We experimentally demonstrate cavity-free feedback cooling of the three lowest-lying collective modes of a Bose-Einstein condensate in a prolate harmonic trap. Using shadowgraph imaging as an \textit{in situ} probe of the atomic density, we measure the time-dependent centers-of-mass and widths of the condensate in two dimensions and use these measurements to damp oscillations in the two visible dipole modes and the low-frequency quadrupole mode. By inducing oscillations in the condensate, we sh…

Dynamic Temporal Positional Encodings for Early Intrusion Detection in IoT
The rapid expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT) has introduced significant security challenges, necessitating efficient and adaptive Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS). Traditional IDS models often overlook the temporal characteristics of network traffic, limiting their effectiveness in early threat detection. We propose a Transformer-based Early Intrusion Detection System (EIDS) that incorporates dynamic temporal positional encodings to enhance detection accuracy while maintaining computati…
