Personalized Federated Fine-Tuning of Vision Foundation Models for Healthcare
Foundation models open up new possibilities for the use of AI in healthcare. However, even when pre-trained on health data, they still need to be fine-tuned for specific downstream tasks. Furthermore, although foundation models reduce the amount of training data required to achieve good performance, obtaining sufficient data is still a challenge. This is due, in part, to restrictions on sharing and aggregating data from different sources to protect patients' privacy. One possible solution to th…

Here comes Krampus: How the half-goat, half-demon became a cultural phenomenon
While Santa Claus’ dark counterpart was born centuries ago in Europe, Krampus’ recent explosion in the U.S. is all thanks to one Chicagoan who featured the beast in his comic zine 20 years ago.

If you're interested in the #aquarium hashtag, there's a new @… bot that replaced the old a.gup.pe bot.
For those who don’t know, these bots exist because when you look for a a hashtag, your server only checks the posts that have been federated to it.
In order for a message to be federated to your server, the author (or one of the people boosting it) have to be followed by someone on your server. If no one touching the message is being followed, it’ll never get federated to your server and you won’t see it.
So yes, hashtags are great, but they don’t help message propagation.
