Taming Data Challenges in ML-based Security Tasks: Lessons from Integrating Generative AI
Machine learning-based supervised classifiers are widely used for security tasks, and their improvement has been largely focused on algorithmic advancements. We argue that data challenges that negatively impact the performance of these classifiers have received limited attention. We address the following research question: Can developments in Generative AI (GenAI) address these data challenges and improve classifier performance? We propose augmenting training datasets with synthetic data genera…

Handling Data Gaps for the Next Generation of Gravitational-Wave Observatories
In the coming decades, as the low frequency sensitivity of detectors improves, the time that gravitational-wave signals remain in the sensitive band will increase, leading to new challenges in analyzing data, namely non-stationary noise and data gaps. Time-frequency (wavelet) methods can efficiently handle non-stationary noise, but data gaps still lead to spectral leakage due to the finite length of the wavelet filters. It was previously shown that Bayesian data augmentation - "gap filling" - c…

{purrr} has some lesser known functions that make handling of failing function calls easier: safely, quietly, possibly: #rstats

Wrap a function to capture errors — safely
Creates a modified version of .f that always succeeds. It returns a list with components result and error. If the function succeeds, result contains the returned value and error is NULL. If an error occurred, error is an error object and result is either NULL or otherwise.

Telkens weer vallen jongens voor bewegingen die autoriteit combineren met kameraadschap en een heldere visie op mannelijkheid. Opinie van mij over de manosphere en het idee dat het allemaal aan de media ligt https://www.

Opinie: ‘Als jongens radicaliseren door influencers, is dat vaak tijdelijk: als ze ouder worden, gaat hun beeld botsen met de realiteit’
Niemand beweert meer dat je gaat moorden door films of suïcide pleegt vanwege metal. Maar het beeld dat jongens radicaliseren door sociale media alleen is volgens mediawetenschapper Linda Duits nog hardnekkig. Goed nieuws: hun radicalisering is vaak tijdelijk.

Die #NZZ preist sich als Debattenbühne, doch am Ende hört man vor allem eines: das Echo der eigenen rechtskonservativen Meinung. Wer neo­li­be­ral, natio­nal oder wirt­schafts­li­be­ral argu­men­tiert, wird mit intel­lek­tu­el­lem Applaus belohnt. Linke Argumente? Fehlanzeige, die bleiben im Feuilleton-Keller versteckt – praktisch wie ungeliebter Hausmüll.
Wenn der Streit zum Monolog wird – D…

Magnetic force microscopy versus scanning quantum-vortex microscopy: Probing pinning landscape in granular niobium films
We provide an overview of the methodology and fundamental principles associated with newly developed experimental technique -- scanning quantum-vortex microscopy [Hovhannisyan et al., Commun. Mater., vol. 6, 42 (2025)]. This approach appears promising for experimental studies of vortex pinning phenomena in superconducting films and nanodevices. In particular, we studied the magnetic properties of magnetron-sputtered niobium (Nb) films by low-temperature magnetic force microscopy. As the tempera…

Economic fears of investors are here — and fed by Trump’s reaction
Friday’s disappointing jobs report revealed a labor market that is much weaker than either the White House or Federal Reserve understood.
Inflation, the voter irritant that helped return Trump to the Oval Office, is proving newly stubborn.
And consumers are growing more cautious with their spending.

Economic fears of investors are here — and fed by Trump’s reaction
President Donald Trump’s economic policies have sparked controversy and uncertainty, with a recent jobs report fueling concerns about the economy’s health.
