Das #GreatBarrierReef erlebt den schwersten #Korallenverlust seit fast 40 Jahren.

Kahlgefressen und ausgebleicht: Great Barrier Reef verliert so viele Korallen wie seit 39 Jahren nicht
Das Great Barrier Reef steht unter massivem Stress - schon länger, aber in den letzten Monaten besonders: Wirbelstürme, hohe Temperaturen und gefräßige Seesterne setzen dem Riff zu. Das führt zum schwersten Verlust an Korallen seit Beginn der Messungen vor fast 40 Jahren.

The Majority is not always right: RL training for solution aggregation
Scaling up test-time compute, by generating multiple independent solutions and selecting or aggregating among them, has become a central paradigm for improving large language models (LLMs) on challenging reasoning tasks. While most prior work relies on simple majority voting or reward model ranking to aggregate solutions, these approaches may only yield limited benefits. In this work, we propose to learn aggregation as an explicit reasoning skill: given a set of candidate solutions, we train an…

On exponential separation of analytic self-conformal sets on the real line
In a recent article, Rapaport showed that the there is no dimension drop for exponentially separated analytic IFSs on the real line. We show that the set of such exponentially separated IFSs in the space of analytic IFSs contains an open and dense set in the $\mathcal{C}^2$ topology. Moreover, we give a sufficient condition for the IFS to be exponentially separated which allows us to construct explicit examples which are exponentially separated. The key technical tool is the introduction of the…

Shape of liquid meniscus in open cells of varying geometry: a combined study via simulation and experiment
Evaporative lithography in cells of arbitrary configuration allows for the creation of diverse particle deposition patterns due to the formation of a specific flow structure in the liquid caused by non-uniform evaporation. The latter in turn is determined by the shape of the liquid layer surface and the wetting menisci on the cell walls. Thus, predicting the shape of the wetting menisci can serve as a tool for controlling the process of creating desired particle deposition patterns and evaporat…

Learning to Reason for Factuality
Reasoning Large Language Models (R-LLMs) have significantly advanced complex reasoning tasks but often struggle with factuality, generating substantially more hallucinations than their non-reasoning counterparts on long-form factuality benchmarks. However, extending online Reinforcement Learning (RL), a key component in recent R-LLM advancements, to the long-form factuality setting poses several unique challenges due to the lack of reliable verification methods. Previous work has utilized autom…
