Raiders fan debunks myth regarding Chiefs fan burying flag under Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas
The Las Vegas Raiders fanbase is in a dilemma. Half of the fan base doesn't want the Kansas City Chiefs to win the Super Bowl; half doesn't want the San Francisco 49ers to win the Super Bowl. On one hand, it's your division rival, and the other is your old Bay Area neighbor. With Allegiant Stadium being the host for the Super Bowl, it's something Raiders are truly struggling with. Before the Raiders moved to Las Vegas, and when the Stadium was being built, there was a picture of a Chiefs fan wh…

Subdivisions of Hypersimplices: with a View Toward Finite Metric Spaces
The secondary fan $Σ(k,n)$ is a polyhedral fan which stratifies the regular subdivisions of the hypersimplices $Δ(k,n)$. We find new infinite families of rays of $Σ(k,n)$, and we compute the fans $Σ(2,7)$ and $Σ(3,6)$. In the special case $k=2$ the fan $Σ(2,n)$ is closely related to the metric fan $\mathop{MF}(n)$, which forms a natural parameter space for the metric spaces on $n$ points. So our results yield a classification of the finite metric spaces on seven points.

A hybrid system with tunable coupling between phonons and qubits shows great potential for advancing quantum information processing. In this work, we demonstrate strong and tunable coupling between a surface acoustic wave (SAW) resonator and a transmon qubit based on galvanic-contact flip-chip technique. The coupling strength varies from $2π\times$7.0 MHz to -$2π\times$20.6 MHz, which is extracted from different vacuum Rabi oscillation frequencies. The phonon-induced ac Stark shift of the qub…

In cluster-randomized experiments, there is emerging interest in exploring the causal mechanism in which a cluster-level treatment affects the outcome through an intermediate outcome. Despite an extensive development of causal mediation methods in the past decade, only a few exceptions have been considered in assessing causal mediation in cluster-randomized studies, all of which depend on parametric model-based estimators.

Weak Lensing Constraints on Dark Matter-Baryon Interactions with $N$-Body Simulations and Machine Learning
We investigate the elastic scattering cross section between dark matter and protons using the DES Year 3 weak lensing data. This scattering induces a dark acoustic oscillation structure in the matter power spectra. To address non-linear effects at low redshift, we utilize principal component analysis alongside a limited set of $N$-body simulations, improving the reliability of our matter power spectrum prediction. We further perform a robust Markov Chain Monte Carlo analysis to derive the upper…

Happy Birthday to Hugh Hagood Hardy. You would have to be a certain age (my Dad had Hardy jazz albums) or a avid fan to recognize the name. He was a Canadian composer, pianist, and vibraphonist who played jazz and easy listening music. He is best known for the 1975 single, "The Homecoming", and for his soundtrack to the Anne of Green Gables and Anne of Avonlea film…

Dallas Cowboys lead NFL in best total fan attendance
The Dallas Cowboys led the NFL in total fan attendance during the 2023 season while recording their third straight 12-5 regular season record. According to the NFL’s official attendance figures, the Dallas Cowboys once again topped the league, meanwhile, the Chicago Bears finished last, just trailing the Arizona Cardinals and Las Vegas Raiders. Dallas has ranked first in average home attendance every year since the opening of AT&T Stadium in 2009. The stadium capacity of 100,000 when expan…

Metasql: A Generate-then-Rank Framework for Natural Language to SQL Translation
The Natural Language Interface to Databases (NLIDB) empowers non-technical users with database access through intuitive natural language (NL) interactions. Advanced approaches, utilizing neural sequence-to-sequence models or large-scale language models, typically employ auto-regressive decoding to generate unique SQL queries sequentially. While these translation models have greatly improved the overall translation accuracy, surpassing 70% on NLIDB benchmarks, the use of auto-regressive decoding…

U-VAP: User-specified Visual Appearance Personalization via Decoupled Self Augmentation
Concept personalization methods enable large text-to-image models to learn specific subjects (e.g., objects/poses/3D models) and synthesize renditions in new contexts. Given that the image references are highly biased towards visual attributes, state-of-the-art personalization models tend to overfit the whole subject and cannot disentangle visual characteristics in pixel space. In this study, we proposed a more challenging setting, namely fine-grained visual appearance personalization. Differen…

Behavior-Contextualized Item Preference Modeling for Multi-Behavior Recommendation

Behavior-Contextualized Item Preference Modeling for Multi-Behavior Recommendation
In recommender systems, multi-behavior methods have demonstrated their effectiveness in mitigating issues like data sparsity, a common challenge in traditional single-behavior recommendation approaches. These methods typically infer user preferences from various auxiliary behaviors and apply them to the target behavior for recommendations. However, this direct transfer can introduce noise to the target behavior in recommendation, due to variations in user attention across different behaviors. T…

Deep Network for Image Compressed Sensing Coding Using Local Structural Sampling
Existing image compressed sensing (CS) coding frameworks usually solve an inverse problem based on measurement coding and optimization-based image reconstruction, which still exist the following two challenges: 1) The widely used random sampling matrix, such as the Gaussian Random Matrix (GRM), usually leads to low measurement coding efficiency. 2) The optimization-based reconstruction methods generally maintain a much higher computational complexity. In this paper, we propose a new CNN based i…

Two-way Homogeneity Pursuit for Quantile Network Vector Autoregression
While the Vector Autoregression (VAR) model has received extensive attention for modelling complex time series, quantile VAR analysis remains relatively underexplored for high-dimensional time series data. To address this disparity, we introduce a two-way grouped network quantile (TGNQ) autoregression model for time series collected on large-scale networks, known for their significant heterogeneous and directional interactions among nodes. Our proposed model simultaneously conducts node cluster…

Not sure how I'm just discovering Goblin Daycare today, but here we are. This is VERY much my kind of stuff. Catchy, weird, lo-fi synth/egg punk songs, straight to your ear holes from Turkiye. I'm a fan.

Those of a certain generation will probably remember ITV's Press Gang, and if like me you were also a fan of Lee & Herring then the Julia Sawalha episode of RHLSTP was a real treat.

Ruledger: Ensuring Execution Integrity in Trigger-Action IoT Platforms
Smart home IoT systems utilize trigger-action platforms, e.g., IFTTT, to manage devices from various vendors. However, they may be abused by triggering malicious rule execution with forged IoT devices or events violating the execution integrity and the intentions of the users. To address this issue, we propose a ledger based IoT platform called Ruledger, which ensures the correct execution of rules by verifying the authenticity of the corresponding information. Ruledger utilizes smart contracts…

BigGait: Learning Gait Representation You Want by Large Vision Models
Gait recognition stands as one of the most pivotal remote identification technologies and progressively expands across research and industrial communities. However, existing gait recognition methods heavily rely on task-specific upstream driven by supervised learning to provide explicit gait representations, which inevitably introduce expensive annotation costs and potentially cause cumulative errors. Escaping from this trend, this work explores effective gait representations based on the all-p…
