Memory-R1: Enhancing Large Language Model Agents to Manage and Utilize Memories via Reinforcement Learning
Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated impressive capabilities across a wide range of NLP tasks, but they remain fundamentally stateless, constrained by limited context windows that hinder long-horizon reasoning. Recent efforts to address this limitation often augment LLMs with an external memory bank, yet most existing pipelines are static and heuristic-driven, lacking any learned mechanism for deciding what to store, update, or retrieve. We present Memory-R1, a reinforcement learning …

Handoff Design in User-Centric Cell-Free Massive MIMO Networks Using DRL
In the user-centric cell-free massive MIMO (UC-mMIMO) network scheme, user mobility necessitates updating the set of serving access points to maintain the user-centric clustering. Such updates are typically performed through handoff (HO) operations; however, frequent HOs lead to overheads associated with the allocation and release of resources. This paper presents a deep reinforcement learning (DRL)-based solution to predict and manage these connections for mobile users. Our solution employs th…

Okay, time to continue bashing. Perhaps this one project is just that bad, but Conan sounds like a complete antithesis of what a package manager is all about.
Well, this package insists to build its dependencies via Conan. Except it insists on really old versions that don't work with my glibc. So I need to start swapping dependencies.
Except it turns out Conan doesn't care much about resolving dependencies. So I actually need to start adjust versions of the dependencies of packages that it wants to build. And then it starts rebuilding other stuff and again everything fails because of incompatible versions.
And when I finally manage to find a working set, the actual project fails over protobuf version. After a long WTF-ing, I finally realize that it's complaining, because it somehow managed to mix the version of protobuf built by Conan and the external protobuf installed by Conda.
So yeah, great job. A package manager that doesn't really resolve dependencies but instead forces a dependency hell on you, and on top of that ends up mixing system packages with its own packages.

RIMMS: Runtime Integrated Memory Management System for Heterogeneous Computing
Efficient memory management in heterogeneous systems is increasingly challenging due to diverse compute architectures (e.g., CPU, GPU, FPGA) and dynamic task mappings not known at compile time. Existing approaches often require programmers to manage data placement and transfers explicitly, or assume static mappings that limit portability and scalability. This paper introduces RIMMS (Runtime Integrated Memory Management System), a lightweight, runtime-managed, hardware-agnostic memory abstractio…

Managing Technical Debt in a Multidisciplinary Data Intensive Software Team: an Observational Case Study
Context: There is an increase in the investment and development of data-intensive (DI) solutions, systems that manage large amounts of data. Without careful management, this growing investment will also grow associated technical debt (TD). Delivery of DI solutions requires a multidisciplinary skill set, but there is limited knowledge about how multidisciplinary teams develop DI systems and manage TD. Objective: This research contributes empirical, practice based insights about multidisciplina…

OnGoal: Tracking and Visualizing Conversational Goals in Multi-Turn Dialogue with Large Language Models
As multi-turn dialogues with large language models (LLMs) grow longer and more complex, how can users better evaluate and review progress on their conversational goals? We present OnGoal, an LLM chat interface that helps users better manage goal progress. OnGoal provides real-time feedback on goal alignment through LLM-assisted evaluation, explanations for evaluation results with examples, and overviews of goal progression over time, enabling users to navigate complex dialogues more effectively…

Definitely encouraging as far as shipping emissions goes, and I appreciate that the quicklime used in the process will be produced with renewable energy - but, as I understand the normal process for making quicklime, limestone aka calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is baked at high temperatures, driving the chemical reaction CaCO3 > CaO CO2.

Do you know what I truly hate? Biting horse-flies.
Like, a whole swarm of them just starts flying around you, and won't let go. If you're walking fast, they usually don't manage to sit on you, but that doesn't stop them from trying. So they keep bouncing off your legs, trying to fly into your nose, walking over your glasses… and after a little time your skin is so irritated that you can't tell anymore if it managed to sit this time, or just bounced — until you feel the painful bite.
I think I've killed a record number of them today.

An evaluation of level of detail degradation in head-mounted display peripheries
A paradigm for the design of systems that manage level of detail in virtual environments is proposed. As an example of the prototyping step in this paradigm, a user study was performed to evaluate the effectiveness of high detail insets used with head-mounted displays. Ten subjects were given a simple search task that required the location and identification of a single target object. All subjects used seven different displays (the independent variable), varying in inset size and peripheral det…

Strategies to Manage Human Factors in Mixed Reality Pilot Training: A Survey
Mixed Reality (MR) head mounted displays (HMDs) offer a promising alternative to traditional Flight Simulator Training Device (FSTD) displays, providing immersion, realism and cost efficiency. However, these technologies require management of human factors; cybersickness, visual fatigue and ergonomic strain. If left unmitigated, these effects can hinder pilot performance and training outcomes. For safety critical fields like aviation, addressing human factors challenges is crucial for MR's trai…

DesCartes Builder: A Tool to Develop Machine-Learning Based Digital Twins
Digital twins (DTs) are increasingly utilized to monitor, manage, and optimize complex systems across various domains, including civil engineering. A core requirement for an effective DT is to act as a fast, accurate, and maintainable surrogate of its physical counterpart, the physical twin (PT). To this end, machine learning (ML) is frequently employed to (i) construct real-time DT prototypes using efficient reduced-order models (ROMs) derived from high-fidelity simulations of the PT's nominal…

DevLicOps: A Framework for Mitigating Licensing Risks in AI-Generated Code
Generative AI coding assistants (ACAs) are widely adopted yet pose serious legal and compliance risks. ACAs can generate code governed by restrictive open-source licenses (e.g., GPL), potentially exposing companies to litigation or forced open-sourcing. Few developers are trained in these risks, and legal standards vary globally, especially with outsourcing. Our article introduces DevLicOps, a practical framework that helps IT leaders manage ACA-related licensing risks through governance, incid…
