Turbulent relations between France and Israel are nothing new,
but even by those historical standards the crisis caused by President Emmanuel Macron’s apparently⭐️ imminent readiness to recognize a Palestinian state is acute.

France’s Macron Faces Dilemma With Intention to Recognize Palestinian State
The French-Israeli relationship has always been turbulent, but the prospect that President Emmanuel Macron may recognize a Palestinian state has brought tension to a new level.

Digital payment policy impact analysis on the intention to use QRIS (quick response code Indonesian standard) during COVID-19 pandemic
This study aims to evaluate the adoption of Bank Indonesia's QRIS (Quick Response code Indonesian Standard) payment system policy. The evaluation is hindered by the contemporaneous emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, which acts as a confounding factor in adopting the new payment instrument. To disentangle the impact of central bank policy from the pandemic, a novel variation of the model of Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) is proposed and is estimated using purposive s…

From Intention to Execution: Probing the Generalization Boundaries of Vision-Language-Action Models
One promise that Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models hold over traditional imitation learning for robotics is to leverage the broad generalization capabilities of large Vision-Language Models (VLMs) to produce versatile, "generalist" robot policies. However, current evaluations of VLAs remain insufficient. Traditional imitation learning benchmarks are unsuitable due to the lack of language instructions. Emerging benchmarks for VLAs that incorporate language often come with limited evaluation ta…

As early as 6 January 2021, Donald Darth #Trump demonstrated his intention to overthrow US democracy. Since being elected president for a second time, he has consistently and brutally pursued this goal at the expense of US citizens.
Darth Trump is a #freebooter.

Hierarchical Intention-Aware Expressive Motion Generation for Humanoid Robots
Effective human-robot interaction requires robots to identify human intentions and generate expressive, socially appropriate motions in real-time. Existing approaches often rely on fixed motion libraries or computationally expensive generative models. We propose a hierarchical framework that combines intention-aware reasoning via in-context learning (ICL) with real-time motion generation using diffusion models. Our system introduces structured prompting with confidence scoring, fallback behavio…

Last year I made the raised beds. We, unwillingly, shared our harvest with the birds and small mammals.
This spring I built enclosures out of 1” PVC sched 40 pipes with 3/4” PVC Sched 40 side panels.
Our intention this year is to share only with family and friends.
Tomatoes in one bed, Strawberries in the other.
Enclosures are 6’ high to allow easy human access via side panels.

The Unified Cognitive Consciousness Theory for Language Models: Anchoring Semantics, Thresholds of Activation, and Emergent Reasoning
Few-shot learning in large language models (LLMs) reveals a core paradox: certain tasks generalize from just a few examples, while others demand extensive supervision. To explain this, we introduce the Unified Cognitive Consciousness Theory (UCCT), which reconceptualizes LLMs not as deficient agents, but as unconscious substrates: dense, distributed repositories of linguistic and conceptual patterns that operate without explicit semantics, intention, or goal-directed reasoning. Under this view,…

$PSL_2$ tropicalization and lines on surfaces
The paper is based on a talk given by the first author at the Gökova Geometry \& Topology conference in May 2024. The subject is an interplay between the ideas of tropical geometry and two-by-two matrices with an intention to explore new types of geometries. More concretely, the article gives a preliminary account for a non-abelian version of phase tropicalization for subvarieties of $PSL_2.$

Conventional biomedical research is increasingly labor-intensive due to the exponential growth of scientific literature and datasets. Artificial intelligence (AI), particularly Large Language Models (LLMs), has the potential to revolutionize this process by automating various steps.

When Should a Leader Act Suboptimally? The Role of Inferability in Repeated Stackelberg Games
When interacting with other decision-making agents in non-adversarial scenarios, it is critical for an autonomous agent to have inferable behavior: The agent's actions must convey their intention and strategy. We model the inferability problem using Stackelberg games with observations where a leader and a follower repeatedly interact. During the interactions, the leader uses a fixed mixed strategy. The follower does not know the leader's strategy and dynamically reacts to the statistically infe…

Propensity weighting plus adjustment in proportional hazards model is not doubly robust
Recently, it has become common for applied works to combine commonly used survival analysis modeling methods, such as the multivariable Cox model and propensity score weighting, with the intention of forming a doubly robust estimator of an exposure effect hazard ratio that is unbiased in large samples when either the Cox model or the propensity score model is correctly specified. This combination does not, in general, produce a doubly robust estimator, even after regression standardization, whe…
