@… D’un côté, on a finalement réalisé la grande promesse de l’e-learning depuis les années cinquante: l’apprentissage personnalisé, le tuteur infatigable, etc. De l’autre, il semble que le résultat sont des accros de l’IA générative. Leur regard critique se limite Š la question de savoir si le produit correspond aux exigences formelles.

Authoritarianism and the decentring of the constitution
by Mayur SureshThe impetus for this project stems from a disquiet, felt by so many in different parts of the world, of the arrival of authoritarian strongmen who had been elected to power. As Kim Scheppele’s influential article tells us, “By now, we know the pattern” of a charismatic leader elected to power, on the back of a wave of popular disenchantment with the state. This leader promises to wipe away the roadblocks that he says have held the country back: established elites, oppos…

Overgroups of the arboreal representation of PCF polynomial
Consider a number field $K$ and a rational function $f$ of degree greater than 1 over $K$. By taking preimages of $α\in K$ under successive iterates of $f$, an infinite $d$-ary tree $T_\infty$ rooted at $α$ can be constructed. An edge is assigned between two preimages $x$ and $y$ if $f(x)=y$. The absolute Galois group of $K$, acting on $T_\infty$ through tree automorphisms, generates a subgroup $\text{Gal}_f^\infty(α)$ in the group of all automorphisms of $T_\infty$, $\text{Aut}(T_\infty)$. …

FlexiReg: Flexible Urban Region Representation Learning
The increasing availability of urban data offers new opportunities for learning region representations, which can be used as input to machine learning models for downstream tasks such as check-in or crime prediction. While existing solutions have produced promising results, an issue is their fixed formation of regions and fixed input region features, which may not suit the needs of different downstream tasks. To address this limitation, we propose a model named FlexiReg for urban region represe…

Efficient Tactile Perception with Soft Electrical Impedance Tomography and Pre-trained Transformer
Tactile sensing is fundamental to robotic systems, enabling interactions through physical contact in multiple tasks. Despite its importance, achieving high-resolution, large-area tactile sensing remains challenging. Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) has emerged as a promising approach for large-area, distributed tactile sensing with minimal electrode requirements which can lend itself to addressing complex contact problems in robotics. However, existing EIT-based tactile reconstruction meth…

Revealing isotropic abundant low-energy excitations in UTe$_2$ through complex microwave surface impedance
The complex surface impedance is a well-established tool to study the super- and normal-fluid responses of superconductors. Fundamental properties of the superconductor, such as the pairing mechanism, Fermi surface, and topological properties, also influence the surface impedance. We explore the microwave surface impedance of spin-triplet UTe$_2$ single crystals as a function of temperature using resonant cavity perturbation measurements employing a novel multi-modal analysis to gain insight in…

Geometric Visual Servo Via Optimal Transport
When developing control laws for robotic systems, the principle factor when examining their performance is choosing inputs that allow smooth tracking to a reference input. In the context of robotic manipulation, this involves translating an object or end-effector from an initial pose to a target pose. Robotic manipulation control laws frequently use vision systems as an error generator to track features and produce control inputs. However, current control algorithms don't take into account the …
