Memory, nostalgia, personal
Today I've reached the part of Szczecin that I haven't visited for 15 years or so. I have to say: memory is interesting.
I only had minimal recollections before, some place names I've visited, some associations, maybe a few rough visual memories. Looking at the map helped uncover a bit more but not much.
Today, walking (unknowingly following a similar route), memories returned in bulk. "I've been here before", "I totally forgot about these plane trees", "I remember this fence", "we sat somewhere over there". Even some images returned.
I was hit by nostalgia too. After all, all that was important to me. I was in love, and for the first time in my life everything was going just right. These were the good memories.
So what's the issue? Perhaps it is that it's easier to cherish good memories when the present is good as well, or at least you're convinced that it's going to go in the right direction. Perhaps you need precisely that to avoid perceiving these memories as the good old days that are never coming back.
Or perhaps it's an autism spectrum thing. Perhaps these memories will always represent attachment to a person that's no longer a part of my life. Dreams that didn't come true. Good times that has passed, and that I didn't cherish as much as I wish I would. Memories made together that remain important to me, but not to anyone else. And these memories that I've lost, though they remain present at the edge of conscience, reminding of their existence, but ever unreachable.

Communication-Constrained Multi-Robot Exploration with Intermittent Rendezvous
This paper deals with the Multi-robot Exploration (MRE) under communication constraints problem. We propose a novel intermittent rendezvous method that allows robots to explore an unknown environment while sharing maps at rendezvous locations through agreements. In our method, robots update the agreements to spread the rendezvous locations during the exploration and prioritize exploring unknown areas near them. To generate the agreements automatically, we reduced the MRE to instances of the Job…

Design of Magnetic Polar Double-Double Perovskite Oxides through Cation Ordering
Commencing from the centrosymmetric MnRMnSbO$_6$ compound, we explore the realm of magnetic polar double-double perovskite oxides characterized by significant ferroelectric polarization. Employing symmetry operations, first-principles methodologies, and Monte Carlo simulations, our investigation delves into the structural, magnetic, ferroelectric, and electronic attributes of the polar LaFeMnNiO$_6$ and LaTiMnNiO$_6$ compounds. The structural analysis uncovers that the paraelectric-ferroelectri…

Language Generation from Brain Recordings
Generating human language through non-invasive brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) has the potential to unlock many applications, such as serving disabled patients and improving communication. Currently, however, generating language via BCIs has been previously successful only within a classification setup for selecting pre-generated sentence continuation candidates with the most likely cortical semantic representation. Inspired by recent research that revealed associations between the brain and t…

Enhancing Holonic Architecture with Natural Language Processing for System of Systems
The complexity and dynamic nature of System of Systems (SoS) necessitate efficient communication mechanisms to ensure interoperability and collaborative functioning among constituent systems, termed holons. This paper proposes an innovative approach to enhance holon communication within SoS through the integration of Conversational Generative Intelligence (CGI) techniques. Our approach leverages advancements in CGI, specifically Large Language Models (LLMs), to enable holons to understand and a…

TIPS: Threat Sharing Information Platform for Enhanced Security
There is an increasing need to share threat information for the prevention of widespread cyber-attacks. While threat-related information sharing can be conducted through traditional information exchange methods, such as email communications etc., these methods are often weak in terms of their trustworthiness and privacy. Additionally, the absence of a trust infrastructure between different information-sharing domains also poses significant challenges. These challenges include redactment of info…

Communication-Efficient Collaborative Perception via Information Filling with Codebook
Collaborative perception empowers each agent to improve its perceptual ability through the exchange of perceptual messages with other agents. It inherently results in a fundamental trade-off between perception ability and communication cost. To address this bottleneck issue, our core idea is to optimize the collaborative messages from two key aspects: representation and selection. The proposed codebook-based message representation enables the transmission of integer codes, rather than high-dime…

User Connection and Resource Allocation Optimization in Blockchain Empowered Metaverse over 6G Wireless Communications
The convergence of blockchain, Metaverse, and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) brings transformative digital opportunities alongside challenges like privacy and resource management. Addressing these, we focus on optimizing user connectivity and resource allocation in an NFT-centric and blockchain-enabled Metaverse in this paper. Through user work-offloading, we optimize data tasks, user connection parameters, and server computing frequency division. In the resource allocation phase, we optimize commu…
