Analysis of Privacy Leakage in Federated Large Language Models
With the rapid adoption of Federated Learning (FL) as the training and tuning protocol for applications utilizing Large Language Models (LLMs), recent research highlights the need for significant modifications to FL to accommodate the large-scale of LLMs. While substantial adjustments to the protocol have been introduced as a response, comprehensive privacy analysis for the adapted FL protocol is currently lacking. To address this gap, our work delves into an extensive examination of the priv…

ResNCT: A Deep Learning Model for the Synthesis of Nephrographic Phase Images in CT Urography
Purpose: To develop and evaluate a transformer-based deep learning model for the synthesis of nephrographic phase images in CT urography (CTU) examinations from the unenhanced and urographic phases. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study was approved by the local Institutional Review Board. A dataset of 119 patients (mean $\pm$ SD age, 65 $\pm$ 12 years; 75/44 males/females) with three-phase CT urography studies was curated for deep learning model development. The three phases for ea…

Economical-Epidemiological Analysis of the Coffee Trees Rust Pandemic
Coffee leaf rust is a prevalent botanical disease that causes a worldwide reduction in coffee supply and its quality, leading to immense economic losses. While several pandemic intervention policies (PIPs) for tackling this rust pandemic are commercially available, they seem to provide only partial epidemiological relief for farmers. In this work, we develop a high-resolution economical-epidemiological model that captures the rust pandemic's spread in coffee tree farms and its associated econom…

Optical Screening of Citrus Leaf Diseases Using Label-Free Spectroscopic Tools: A Review
Citrus diseases pose threats to citrus farming and result in economic losses worldwide. Nucleic acid and serology-based methods of detection and, immunochromatographic assays are commonly used but these laboratory tests are laborious, expensive and might be subjected to cross-reaction and contamination. Modern optical spectroscopic techniques offer a promising alternative as they are label-free, sensitive, rapid, non-destructive, and demonstrate the potential for incorporation into an autonomou…

A Valuation Framework for Customers Impacted by Extreme Temperature-Related Outages
Extreme temperature outages can lead to not just economic losses but also various non-energy impacts (NEI) due to significant degradation of indoor operating conditions caused by service disruptions. However, existing resilience assessment approaches lack specificity for extreme temperature conditions. They often overlook temperature-related mortality and neglect the customer characteristics and grid response in the calculation, despite the significant influence of these factors on NEI-related …

The lesson from Turkey’s elections: Charisma is key to defeating a strongman
Charisma matters. Only a year ago, Turkey’s opposition failed to unseat Erdogan in general elections despite Turkey’s sputtering economy
— in large part because opposition parties settled on a dull compromise candidate, Kemal Kilicdaroglu.
With Imamoglu as the new hopeful alternative, the dynamic shifted against Erdogan.

A top adviser for Imamoglu told me that in Istanbul and Ankara, opposi…

The lesson from Turkey’s elections: Charisma is key to defeating a strongman
Erdogan’s party suffered a historic loss in this weekend’s elections. To preserve his legacy, Turkey’s strongman should step aside after his third term.

Projectivity meets Uniform Post Interpolant: Classical and Intuitionistic Logic
In this paper we examine the interplay between projectivity (in the sense that was introduced by S. Ghilardi) and uniform post-interpolant for the classical and intuitionistic propositional logic. More precisely, we explore whether a projective substitution of a formula is equivalent to its uniform post interpolant, assuming the substitution leaves the variables of the interpolant unchanged. We show that in classical logic, this holds for all formulas. Although such a nice property is missing i…
