I see @… has a similar reaction about a study that says something we want to hear.
Re that second remark, “The *point* of AI is to make cognitive abilities irrelevant,” well, that’s the thing that’s up for debate right now. Making cognitive abilities (and thus labor, and people) irrelevant is very much the marketing pitch of the hype bubble. That pitch is about cost cutting, and about fear and intimidation — an intoxicating, investor-frothing mixture of fantasy and terror.
It’s not the only vision of AI, however.

Adopting Use Case Descriptions for Requirements Specification: an Industrial Case Study
Context: Use case (UC) descriptions are a prominent format for specifying functional requirements. Existing literature abounds with recommendations on how to write high-quality UC descriptions but lacks insights into (1) their real-world adoption, (2) whether these recommendations correspond to actual quality, and (3) which factors influence the quality of UCs. Objectives: We aim to contribute empirical evidence about the adoption of UC descriptions in a large, globally distributed case company…

BreastDCEDL: Curating a Comprehensive DCE-MRI Dataset and developing a Transformer Implementation for Breast Cancer Treatment Response Prediction
Breast cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, making early detection and accurate treatment response monitoring critical priorities. We present BreastDCEDL, a curated, deep learning-ready dataset comprising pre-treatment 3D Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) scans from 2,070 breast cancer patients drawn from the I-SPY1, I-SPY2, and Duke cohorts, all sourced from The Cancer Imaging Archive. The raw DICOM imaging data were rigorously converted into standardized…

INTERPOS: Interaction Rhythm Guided Positional Morphing for Mobile App Recommender Systems
The mobile app market has expanded exponentially, offering millions of apps with diverse functionalities, yet research in mobile app recommendation remains limited. Traditional sequential recommender systems utilize the order of items in users' historical interactions to predict the next item for the users. Position embeddings, well-established in transformer-based architectures for natural language processing tasks, effectively distinguish token positions in sequences. In sequential recommenda…

Downstream: efficient cross-platform algorithms for fixed-capacity stream downsampling
Due to ongoing accrual over long durations, a defining characteristic of real-world data streams is the requirement for rolling, often real-time, mechanisms to coarsen or summarize stream history. One common data structure for this purpose is the ring buffer, which maintains a running downsample comprising most recent stream data. In some downsampling scenarios, however, it can instead be necessary to maintain data items spanning the entirety of elapsed stream history. Fortunately, approaches g…
