Equivariant and Invariant Parametrized Topological Complexity
For a $G$-equivariant fibration $p \colon E\to B$, we introduce and study the invariant analogue of Cohen, Farber and Weinberger's parametrized topological complexity, called the invariant parametrized topological complexity. This notion generalizes the invariant topological complexity introduced by Lubawski and Marzantowicz. We establish the equivariant fibrewise homotopy invariance of this notion and derive several bounds, including a cohomological lower bound and a dimensional upper bound. A…

Mind the Gap: A Formal Investigation of the Relationship Between Log and Model Complexity -- Extended Version
Simple process models are key for effectively communicating the outcomes of process mining. An important question in this context is whether the complexity of event logs used as inputs to process discovery algorithms can serve as a reliable indicator of the complexity of the resulting process models. Although various complexity measures for both event logs and process models have been proposed in the literature, the relationship between input and output complexity remains largely unexplored. In…

TPDE: A Fast Adaptable Compiler Back-End Framework
Fast machine code generation is especially important for fast start-up just-in-time compilation, where the compilation time is part of the end-to-end latency. However, widely used compiler frameworks like LLVM do not prioritize fast compilation and require an extra IR translation step increasing latency even further; and rolling a custom code generator is a substantial engineering effort, especially when targeting multiple architectures. Therefore, in this paper, we present TPDE, a compiler b…

The Model Context Protocol acts as a universal translator between LLMs and data sources, eliminating complex platform-specific requirements. Our new open source MCP server for ODBC (mcp-odbc-server) enables seamless integration of any ODBC-accessible data into RAG pipelines.

What's The Model Context Protocol & Why Is It Important?
The way Large Language Models (LLMs) interact with the vast world of data sources and APIs (Application Programming Interface) is undergoing a significant transformation, thanks to the emergence of the Model Context Protocol (MCP). MCP servers act as a crucial middleware layer, a kind of "universal

Investigating A Geometrical Solution to the Vergence-Accommodation Conflict for Targeted Movements in Virtual Reality
While virtual reality (VR) holds significant potential to revolutionize digital user interaction, how visual information is presented through VR head-mounted displays (HMDs) differs from naturalistic viewing and interactions in physical environments, leading to performance decrements. One critical challenge in VR development is the vergence-accommodation conflict (VAC), which arises due to the intrinsic constraints of approximating the natural viewing geometry through digital displays. Although…

the first time i needed a lawyer an AI chatbot picked up... it was actually a good one who understood me and used my deranged ramblings of what happened, and basically filed a very complex form for me, right then and there, on the phone. It was a random law firm in cologne my legal insurance automatically forwarded me to. I was impressed, as I had not seen such a technology before, and my hatred towards AI Chatbots mainly stemmed from my experience with chatbots, and my hatred towards AI. Th…

Community input to the European Strategy on particle physics: Searches for Permanent Electric Dipole Moments
Searches for electric dipole moments (EDMs) in fundamental particles and quantum systems with spin are pivotal experiments at the intersection of low-energy and high-precision particle physics. These investigations offer a complementary pathway to uncovering new physics beyond the Standard Model, parallel to high-energy collider searches. EDM experiments are among the most sensitive probes for detecting non-standard time-reversal (T) symmetry violations and, via the CPT theorem, CP-violation (C…
