Social-Sensor Identity Cloning Detection Using Weakly Supervised Deep Forest and Cryptographic Authentication
Recent years have witnessed a rising trend in social-sensor cloud identity cloning incidents. However, existing approaches suffer from unsatisfactory performance, a lack of solutions for detecting duplicated accounts, and a lack of large-scale evaluations on real-world datasets. We introduce a novel method for detecting identity cloning in social-sensor cloud service providers. Our proposed technique consists of two primary components: 1) a similar identity detection method and 2) a cryptograph…

UMO: Scaling Multi-Identity Consistency for Image Customization via Matching Reward
Recent advancements in image customization exhibit a wide range of application prospects due to stronger customization capabilities. However, since we humans are more sensitive to faces, a significant challenge remains in preserving consistent identity while avoiding identity confusion with multi-reference images, limiting the identity scalability of customization models. To address this, we present UMO, a Unified Multi-identity Optimization framework, designed to maintain high-fidelity identit…

Day 19 (a bit late): Alice Oseman
As I said I've got 14 authors to fit into two days. Probably just going to extend to 30? But Oseman gets this spot as an absolute legend of queer fiction in both novel & graphic novel form, and an excellent example of the many truths queer writers have to share with non-queer people that can make everyone's lives better. Her writing is very kind, despite in many instances dealing with some dark stuff.
I started out on Heartstopper, which is just so lovely and fun to read, and then made my way through several of her novels. The one I'll highlight here which I think it's her greatest triumph is "Loveless", which is semi-autobiographical and was at least my first (but no longer only) experience with the "platonic romance" sub-genre. It not only helped me work through some crufty internal doubts about aro/ace identities that I'd never really examined, but in the process helped improve my understanding of friendship, period. Heck, it's probably a nice novel for anyone questioning any sort of identity or dealing with loneliness, and it's just super-enjoyable as a story regardless of the philosophical value.
To cheat a bit more here on my author count, I recently read "Dear Wendy" by Ann Zhao, which shouts out "Loveless" and offers a more expository exploration of aro/ace identities, but "Loveless" is a book with more heart and better writing overall, including the neat plotting and great pacing. I think there are also parallels with Becky Albertalli's work, though I think I like Oseman slightly more. Certainly both excel at writing queer romance (and romance-adjacent) stuff with happy endings (#OwnVoices wins again with all three authors).
In any case, Oseman is excellent and if you're not up for reading a novel, Heartstopper is a graphic novel series that's easy to jump into and very kind to its adorable main characters.
I think I've now decided to continue to 30, which is a relief, so I'm tagging this (and the next post that rounds out 20) two ways.

Simulating Identity, Propagating Bias: Abstraction and Stereotypes in LLM-Generated Text
Persona-prompting is a growing strategy to steer LLMs toward simulating particular perspectives or linguistic styles through the lens of a specified identity. While this method is often used to personalize outputs, its impact on how LLMs represent social groups remains underexplored. In this paper, we investigate whether persona-prompting leads to different levels of linguistic abstraction - an established marker of stereotyping - when generating short texts linking socio-demographic categories…

This paper does not challenge the arithmetic theorem 1+1=2, but rather analyzes what this equation means when applied to physical objects. We answer with two complementary, rigorous treatments.

Quantum Channel Masking
Quantum masking is a special type of secret sharing in which some information gets reversibly distributed into a multipartite system, leaving the original information inaccessible to each subsystem. This paper proposes a dynamical extension of quantum masking to the level of quantum channels. In channel masking, the identity of a channel becomes locally hidden but still globally accessible after its output is sent through a bipartite broadcasting channel. We first characterize all families of d…

On thermal holographic RG flows
Holographic Renormalization Group (RG) flows, described by Einstein gravity coupled to matter fields, have been thoroughly explored in the context of vacuum states. In this work, we shift the focus to thermal states. Using the Hamilton-Jacobi formalism for the coupled system, we derive the Ward identity associated with broken dilatation symmetry in thermal correlators and obtain the modified Callan-Symanzik equation for the dual thermal CFT. We then employ the Hamiltonian approach to analyze th…

In this paper, we study the category of twisted sheaves over a scheme $X$. Let $\mathcal{M}$ be a quasi-coherent sheaf on $X$, and $α$ in $\operatorname{Br}(X)$. We show that the functor $ - \otimes_{\mathcal{O}_X} \mathcal{M} : \operatorname{QCoh}(X, α) \to \operatorname{QCoh}(X, α) $ is naturally isomorphic to the identity functor if and only if $\mathcal{M}\cong \mathcal{O}_{X}$. As a corollary, the action of $\operatorname{Pic}(X)$ on $D^{b}(X, α)$ is faithful for any Noetherian scheme …

O_O-VC: Synthetic Data-Driven One-to-One Alignment for Any-to-Any Voice Conversion
Traditional voice conversion (VC) methods typically attempt to separate speaker identity and linguistic information into distinct representations, which are then combined to reconstruct the audio. However, effectively disentangling these factors remains challenging, often leading to information loss during training. In this paper, we propose a new approach that leverages synthetic speech data generated by a high-quality, pretrained multispeaker text-to-speech (TTS) model. Specifically, syntheti…

On the stability of the quaternion projective space
The aim of this note is to prove that the index of the identity map on a quaternion space form of constant quaternion sectional curvature $c$ is zero, provided that $c<0$. As an immediate consequence, it is established that any compact quaternion space form of negative quaternion sectional curvature is stable and it is emphasized that, on the contrary (but in agreement with some known results), any quaternion projective space is unstable.

Robustly transitive maps with critical points and large dimensional central spaces
Given any triplet of positive integers $n \geq 2$, $m$ and $k$ such that $n=m+k$, we exhibit a $C^1$ robustly transitive endomorphism of $\mathbb{T}^n$ with persistent critical points in the isotopy class of $F \times Id$, where $F$ is an expanding map of $\mathbb{T}^m$ and $Id$ is the identity of $\mathbb{T}^k$. Furthermore, if $k$ is small, the map is not only in the isotopy class but in fact a perturbation of $F \times Id$.

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed in user-facing applications, raising concerns about their potential to reflect and amplify social biases. We investigate social identity framing in Chinese LLMs using Mandarin-specific prompts across ten representative Chinese LLMs, evaluating responses to ingroup ("We") and outgroup ("They") framings, and extending the setting to 240 social groups salient in the Chinese context. To complement controlled experiments, we further analyze Chin…

This issue arises primarily from a significant quality mismatch between the speech data utilized for model training and the input prompt speech during inference. To address thi…

Combinatorial interpretation of a truncated identity of Gauss

In particular, some results on a truncated identity of Guass have been proved. In this article, we provide a new combinatorial interpretation of the truncated identity of Gauss in terms of the minimal excludant non-overlined part of an overpartition.

Stochastic resolution of identity to CC2 for large systems: Excited-state gradients and derivative couplings
Excited-state gradients and derivative couplings are critical for simulating excited-state dynamics. However, their calculations are very expensive within the coupled-cluster framework due to the steep scaling. In this work, we present two implementations of stochastic resolution of identity to CC2 (sRI-CC2) for excited-state analytical gradients and derivative couplings. The first method employs sRI for both Coulomb and exchange terms, reducing the formal scaling to cubic. However, this method…

The purpose of this paper is to introduce the concept of semi-$n$-submodules as an extension of semi $n$-ideals and $n$-submodules. A proper submodule $N$ of $M$ is called a semi $n$-submodule if whenever $r\in R$, $m\in M$ with $r^{2}m\in N$, $r\notin\sqrt{0}$ and $Ann_{R}(m)=0$, then $rm\in N$. Several properties, characterizations of this class of submodules with many supporting examples are presented. Furthermore, sem…

In addition, we argue that faulty robots might create expectations of who is supposed to compensate and repair a…

Structured State-Space Duality (SSD) [Dao & Gu, ICML 2024] is an equivalence between a simple Structured State-Space Model (SSM) and a masked attention mechanism. In particular, a state-space model with a scalar-times-identity state matrix is equivalent to a masked self-attention with a $1$-semiseparable causal mask. Consequently, the same sequence transformation (model) has two algorithmic realizations: as a linear-time $O(T)$ recurrence or as a quadratic-time $O(T^2)$ attention. In this note,…

A curious identity of Bunyakovsky (1882), made more widely known by Pólya and Szeg{\H o} in their ``Problems and Theorems in Analysis", gives an evaluation of a sum of the floor function of square roots involving primes $p\equiv 1\pmod{4}$. We evaluate this sum also in the case $p\equiv 3\pmod{4}$, obtaining an identity in terms of the class number of the imaginary quadratic field ${\mathbb Q}(\sqrt{-p})$. We also consider certain cases where the prime $p$ is replaced by a composite integer. C…

Over-the-Air Adversarial Attack Detection: from Datasets to Defenses
Automatic Speaker Verification (ASV) systems can be used for voice-enabled applications for identity verification. However, recent studies have exposed these systems' vulnerabilities to both over-the-line (OTL) and over-the-air (OTA) adversarial attacks. Although various detection methods have been proposed to counter these threats, they have not been thoroughly tested due to the lack of a comprehensive data set. To address this gap, we developed the AdvSV 2.0 dataset, which contains 628k sampl…

Data selves and identity theft in the age of AI
This chapter examines identity theft in the digital age, particularly in the context of emerging artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. It begins with a discussion of big data and selfhood, the concepts of data selves and data doubles, and the process of identification in the digital age. Next, the literature on online identity theft is reviewed, including its theoretical and empirical aspects. As is evident from that review, AI technologies have increased the speed and scale of identity cr…

New combinatorial proof of Gaussian polynomial and the monotonicity of the Garvan's $k$-rank
Gaussian polynomial, which is also known as $q$-binomial coefficient, is one of the fundamental concepts in the theory of partitions. Zeilberger provided a combinatorial proof of Gaussian polynomial, which is called Algorithm Z by Andrews and Bressoud. In this paper, we provide a new bijection on Gaussian polynomial, which leads to a refinement of Algorithm Z. Moreover, using this bijection, we provide an alternative proof of generalized Rogers-Ramanujan identity, which was first proved by Bres…

Harmful structures and Killing spinors on unimodular Lie groups
A pseudo-Riemannian Einstein manifold with a Killing spinor and Killing constant $λ$ induces on its nondegenerate hypersurfaces a pair of spinors $ϕ,ψ$ and a symmetric tensor $A$, corresponding to the second fundamental form. Viewed as an intrinsic object, $(ϕ,ψ,A,λ)$ is known as a harmful structure; this notion generalizes nearly hypo and nearly half-flat structures to arbitrary dimension and signature. We show that when $A$ is a multiple of the identity the harmful structure is determin…

I finished "Dear Wendy" by Ann Zhao a few days ago. It's a lovely platonic "romance" that deals explicitly with aro/ace identity, post-coming-out identity work as opposed to the initial realization journey, and Wellesley College student culture (although if unlike me that's not relevant to you, it's not like you need to be interested in this to enjoy the book).
It felt slightly weird to be reading a book by someone who I'm pretty sure could have been in one of my classes (but as far as I am remember wasn't). Probably would not have read it were it a normal romance, because that would have made character empathy super awkward. In any case, it feels useful to get an inside perspective on almost-contemporary student culture, especially the part that's a reminder of how many students love the liberal and progressive aspects of said culture, despite its flaws.
Super enjoyable and honestly pretty cozy book.

Character Mixing for Video Generation
Imagine Mr. Bean stepping into Tom and Jerry--can we generate videos where characters interact naturally across different worlds? We study inter-character interaction in text-to-video generation, where the key challenge is to preserve each character's identity and behaviors while enabling coherent cross-context interaction. This is difficult because characters may never have coexisted and because mixing styles often causes style delusion, where realistic characters appear cartoonish or vice ver…

Spivey-type recurrence relation for fully degenerate Bell polynomials
Spivey's combinatorial method revealed an important identity for Bell numbers, involving Stirling numbers of the second kind. This paper extends his work by deriving Spivey-type recurrence relations for fully degenerate Bell polynomials and degenerate Fubini polynomials. Our derivation uses degenerate Stirling numbers of the second kind and two-variable degenerate Fubini polynomials of order a.

Zero Trust-based Decentralized Identity Management System for Autonomous Vehicles
The rise of autonomous vehicles (AVs) promises to significantly enhance transportation safety and efficiency by mitigating human error, which is responsible for over 90\% of road accidents. However, the increasing connectivity of AVs introduces new cybersecurity challenges, as traditional perimeter-based security models are inadequate for dynamic and untrusted environments. This paper presents a novel Zero Trust-based Decentralized Identity Management (D-IM) protocol for AVs. By integrating the…

The Basic B*** Effect: The Use of LLM-based Agents Reduces the Distinctiveness and Diversity of People's Choices
Large language models (LLMs) increasingly act on people's behalf: they write emails, buy groceries, and book restaurants. While the outsourcing of human decision-making to AI can be both efficient and effective, it raises a fundamental question: how does delegating identity-defining choices to AI reshape who people become? We study the impact of agentic LLMs on two identity-relevant outcomes: interpersonal distinctiveness - how unique a person's choices are relative to others - and intrapersona…

Combinatorial proof of a permuted basement Macdonald polynomial identity
A well-known and fundamental property of the Macdonald polynomials $P_λ(x;q,t)$ is their invariance under the transformation sending $(q,t)$ to $(q^{-1},t^{-1})$. Recently, Concha and Lapointe showed that this property extends in an interesting, nontrivial way to an identity for partially symmetric Macdonald polynomials. Their identity played a key role in the work of Bechtloff Weising and Orr linking partially symmetric Macdonald polynomials to parabolic flag Hilbert schemes. In this paper, w…

ExPrESSO: Zero-Knowledge backed Extensive Privacy Preserving Single Sign-on
User authentication is one of the most important aspects for secure communication between services and end-users over the Internet. Service providers leverage Single-Sign On (SSO) to make it easier for their users to authenticate themselves. However, standardized systems for SSO, such as OIDC, do not guarantee user privacy as identity providers can track user activities. We propose a zero-knowledge-based mechanism that integrates with OIDC to let users authenticate through SSO without revealing…

The joy of multisection: elementary approaches to Ramanujan's lacunary identities for Bernoulli numbers
An identity by Ramanujan related to the multisection of Bernoulli numbers is revisited. Two alternative approaches are proposed, both relying on the multisection technique. A geometric approach reveals the role played by the symmetries of the summation domain in the complex plane induced by the multisection technique. The second approach, based on generating functions, allows us to extend Ramanujan's identity to other special functions such as Eisenstein's series.

A Meat-Summer Night's Dream: A Tangible Design Fiction Exploration of Eating Biohybrid Flying Robots
What if future dining involved eating robots? We explore this question through a playful and poetic experiential dinner theater: a tangible design fiction staged as a 2052 Paris restaurant where diners consume a biohybrid flying robot in place of the banned delicacy of ortolan bunting. Moving beyond textual or visual speculation, our ``dinner-in-the-drama'' combined performance, ritual, and multisensory immersion to provoke reflection on sustainability, ethics, and cultural identity.

Security Friction Quotient for Zero Trust Identity Policy with Empirical Validation
We define a practical method to quantify the trade-off between security and operational friction in modern identity-centric programs. We introduce the Security Friction Quotient (SFQ), a bounded composite index that combines a residual-risk estimator with empirically grounded friction terms (latency, failure rate, and helpdesk impact). We establish clarity properties (boundedness, monotonic response, and weight identifiability) with short proofs, then evaluate widely used Conditional Access pol…

A Brief Note on Cryptographic Pseudonyms for Anonymous Credentials
This paper describes pseudonyms for the upcoming European Identity Wallet (EUDIW) architecture from both a cryptographic and an implementation perspective. Its main goal is to provide technical insights into the achievable properties and cryptographic realizations. In particular, we (1) outline the security and privacy requirements of EUDI pseudonyms as the basis for building consensus on the cross-country decision maker level; (2) sketch an abstract cryptographic protocol that fulfills these r…
