Incredible that #google makes it impossible to smoothly delete all your photos, either making you scroll select for hours or forcing you to use 3rd party tools like https://github.com/mrishab/google-phot

Pitch Estimation With Mean Averaging Smoothed Product Spectrum And Musical Consonance Evaluation Using MASP
This study introduces Mean Averaging Smoothed Product (MASP) Spectrum, which is a modified version of the Harmonic Product Spectrum, designed to enhance pitch estimation for many algorithm-wise deceptive frequency spectra that still lead clear pitches, for both harmonic and inharmonic cases. By introducing a global mean based smoothing for spectrum, the MASP algorithm diminishes the unwanted sensitivity of HPS for spectra with missing partials. The method exhibited robust pitch estimations cons…

Polish delegation of Global Sumud Flotilla: Omar Faris, Ewa Jasiewicz, Nina Ptak and Franciszek Sterczewski arrived at Warsaw Chopin airport after a few days spent in Israeli prison.
The delegation members gave extensive interviews in which they described brutality they endured after their yachts had been illegally intercepted on international waters.
They also had plenty of harsh words for Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski who downplayed the situation during their captivity.

Reproducing and Extending Causal Insights Into Term Frequency Computation in Neural Rankers
Neural ranking models have shown outstanding performance across a variety of tasks, such as document retrieval, re-ranking, question answering and conversational retrieval. However, the inner decision process of these models remains largely unclear, especially as models increase in size. Most interpretability approaches, such as probing, focus on correlational insights rather than establishing causal relationships. The paper 'Axiomatic Causal Interventions for Reverse Engineering Relevance Comp…

'This was a momentous occasion staged for 4 distinct audiences: foreign powers, US military, US civilian authorities, and the American people.
All these audiences needed to see in real time POTUS letting those luminaries know that he considers them to be expendable and see them being given their new mission statement: to fulfill POTUS’s desires to use the military against civilians who stand up for democratic freedoms.'

'Eisige Zeiten' #FotoVorschlag 'icy times'
Oh I have a couple of frosty photos, but this might be one of my best. I spent quite a while there to capture the cold feeling.
Packed in multiple layers, I really spent quite a while around that spot in order to really see the right motives.
It just reminds me that I could post more of my winter photos! :)
