Visualization on Smart Wristbands: Results from an In-situ Design Workshop with Four Scenarios
We present the results of an in-situ ideation workshop for designing data visualizations on smart wristbands that can show data around the entire wrist of a wearer. Wristbands pose interesting challenges because the visibility of different areas of the band depends on the wearer's arm posture. We focused on four usage scenarios that lead to different postures: office work, leisurely walks, cycling, and driving. As the technology for smart wristbands is not yet commercially available, we conduct…

Real geometric transcendence for Weierstrass elliptic functions
Given a lattice $Λ\subset \mathbb C\simeq \mathbb R^2$ with associated Weierstrass function $\wp_Λ$, we determine the algebraic curves in $\mathbb R^2$ whose image via $\wp_Λ$ is contained in an algebraic curve.

I continue to maintain that Biden was one of the worst presidents in my lifetime - mostly due to an accident of timing. If he had been president in 2016 or 2000, he obviously would've been a huge improvement over Trump or Cheney, respectively. Heck, even in 2008 or 2012 or 1996 he would've been.. fine.
But after covid, BLM, 4 years of Trump 1.0 abuses, & subsequent open insurrection by literal fascism, he was the wrong person for the job. He gave the fash 4 years to prep

Level sets of prevalent Weierstrass functions
The $α$-Weierstrass function is defined as $W_g^{α,b}(x) = \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} b^{-αk} g(b^k x)$, where $g$ is a Lipschitz function on the unit circle. For a prevalent $α$-Weierstrass function, we prove that the upper Minkowski dimension of every level set is at most $1-α$, and the Hausdorff dimension of almost every level set equals $1-α$ with respect to its occupation measure. We further demonstrate that the occupation measure of a prevalent $α$-Weierstrass function is absolutely conti…

Kommentar: Der Verbrenner wird schneller sterben, als viele glauben
Autos mit Verbrennungsmotor sind auf dem Rückzug. Das Elektroauto dürfte sich viel schneller durchsetzen, als vielfach angenommen, meint Redakteur Martin Franz.

Let's Measure the Elephant in the Room: Facilitating Personalized Automated Analysis of Privacy Policies at Scale
In modern times, people have numerous online accounts, but they rarely read the Terms of Service or Privacy Policy of those sites despite claiming otherwise. This paper introduces PoliAnalyzer, a neuro-symbolic system that assists users with personalized privacy policy analysis. PoliAnalyzer uses Natural Language Processing (NLP) to extract formal representations of data usage practices from policy texts. In favor of deterministic, logical inference is applied to compare user preferences with t…
