GenIR: Generative Visual Feedback for Mental Image Retrieval
Vision-language models (VLMs) have shown strong performance on text-to-image retrieval benchmarks. However, bridging this success to real-world applications remains a challenge. In practice, human search behavior is rarely a one-shot action. Instead, it is often a multi-round process guided by clues in mind, that is, a mental image ranging from vague recollections to vivid mental representations of the target image. Motivated by this gap, we study the task of Mental Image Retrieval (MIR), which…

This isn’t meant as a dunk, or a sarcastic tagging.
Seriously, @jaketapper.bsky.social, how do you not make the clear mental unfitness of the CURRENT president, the guy who CURRENTLY controls the ppl w the guns, your focus going forward?

Visual Mental Imagery and Aphantasia Lesions Map onto a Convergent Brain Network
Background Visual mental imagery, the ability to volitionally form perceptual representations without corresponding external stimuli, allows reliving of past events, solving problems and imagining the future. The absence of visual mental imagery, called aphantasia, has recently been recognized to occur in about 1% of the general population but the cause is uncertain. By studying rare cases of acquired aphantasia we can identify regions that when injured cause loss of visual mental imagery. Met…

Monoidal Relative Categories Model Monoidal $\infty$-Categories
We show that the homotopy theory of monoidal relative categories is equivalent to that of monoidal $\infty$-categories, as well as its symmetric monoidal version. As an application, we give a concise and complete proof of the fact that every presentably monoidal or presentably symmetric monoidal $\infty$-category is presented by a monoidal or symmetric monoidal model category, which, in the monoidal case, was sketched by Lurie, and in the symmetric monoidal case, was proved by Nikolaus--Sagave.

Sharkovsky's Ordering in the Mandelbrot Set
Sharkovsky's ordering describes orbit forcing of interval maps, and generalizations of Sharkovsky's ordering exist for maps of trees. In this paper I will describe Sharkovsky's ordering and analogous orderings for trees, and their occurrence on the Mandelbrot set.
