Delta-8 THC use highest where marijuana is illegal, study finds
Researchers from University of California San Diego have found that Delta-8 tetrahydrocannabinol (delta-8 THC), a psychoactive compound often sold as a legal alternative to marijuana, is most commonly used in states where marijuana use remains illegal and delta-8 THC sales are unregulated. The findings, published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, highlight how gaps in cannabis policy may be inadvertently steering people toward less-regulated substances and have allowed manufacture…

Competition and Attraction Improve Model Fusion
Model merging is a powerful technique for integrating the specialized knowledge of multiple machine learning models into a single model. However, existing methods require manually partitioning model parameters into fixed groups for merging, which restricts the exploration of potential combinations and limits performance. To overcome these limitations, we propose Model Merging of Natural Niches (M2N2), an evolutionary algorithm with three key features: (1) dynamic adjustment of merging boundarie…

Varje morgon vaknar vi med en enda tanke i huvudet. Hur få tag på mat? Sedan Israel införde sin fullständiga blockad mot Gaza i mars har vi varken sett kött, ägg eller fisk. Våra kroppar håller på att brytas ned. Journalisten Ruwaida Amer vittnar om den utbredda svälten i Gaza. https://www.dn.se/kultu…

ExpFace: Exponential Angular Margin Loss for Deep Face Recognition
Face recognition is an open-set problem requiring high discriminative power to ensure that intra-class distances remain smaller than inter-class distances. Margin-based softmax losses, such as SphereFace, CosFace, and ArcFace, have been widely adopted to enhance intra-class compactness and inter-class separability, yet they overlook the impact of noisy samples. By examining the distribution of samples in the angular space, we observe that clean samples predominantly cluster in the center region…
