What to expect at Meta Connect 2025: 'Hypernova' smart glasses, AI and the metaverse
Meta Connect, the company's annual event dedicated to all things AR, VR, AI and the metaverse is just days away. And once again, it seems like it will be a...

We've been visited by a humming bird hawk moth, aka bee moth. Its a moth, not a bird, but it feeds by hovering while sipping nectar from deep-throated flowers, like a humming bird.
I managed to get these pictures. I'll try to get some more over the weekend.

Non-orientable regular hypermaps of arbitrary hyperbolic type
One of the consequences of residual finiteness of triangle groups is that for any given hyperbolic triple $(\ell,m,n)$ there exist infinitely many regular hypermaps of type $(\ell,m,n)$ on compact orientable surfaces. The same conclusion also follows from a classification of those finite quotients of hyperbolic triangle groups that are isomorphic to linear fractional groups over finite fields. A non-orientable analogue of this, that is, existence of regular hypermaps of a given hyperbolic type …

Conic Formulations of Transport Metrics for Unbalanced Measure Networks and Hypernetworks
The Gromov-Wasserstein (GW) variant of optimal transport, designed to compare probability densities defined over distinct metric spaces, has emerged as an important tool for the analysis of data with complex structure, such as ensembles of point clouds or networks. To overcome certain limitations, such as the restriction to comparisons of measures of equal mass and sensitivity to outliers, several unbalanced or partial transport relaxations of the GW distance have been introduced in the recent …

Photonic bandgap properties of hyperuniform systems self-assembled in a microfluidic channel
Traditional self-assembly methods often rely on densely packed colloidal crystalline structures and have inherent limitations in generating materials with isotropic photonic bandgaps (PBG). This study explores the photonic properties of materials structured according to hyperuniform disordered patterns (HUDS) generated via a hydrodynamic process in a microchannel. This research employs simulations to characterize optical bandgaps and determine the minimum dielectric contrast required for PBG fo…

Generalizable Federated Learning using Client Adaptive Focal Modulation
Federated learning (FL) has proven essential for privacy-preserving, collaborative training across distributed clients. Our prior work, TransFed, introduced a robust transformer-based FL framework that leverages a learn-to-adapt hypernetwork to generate personalized focal modulation layers per client, outperforming traditional methods in non-IID and cross-domain settings. In this extended version, we propose AdaptFED, where we deepen the investigation of focal modulation in generalizable FL by …
