Top Amazon reseller Pattern opens at $13.50 in Nasdaq debut after IPO raised $300 million
The Utah-based company ranks No. 2 among the top U.S. sellers on Amazon's third-party marketplace.

Pattern matching is a major feature in software development. While pattern matching applies in several locations, its current usage is limited to switch case blocks. I want to compare the power of pattern matching across a couple of programming languages I’m familiar with in this post.

RED.AI Id-Pattern: First Results of Stone Deterioration Patterns with Multi-Agent Systems
The Id-Pattern system within the RED.AI project (Reabilitação Estrutural Digital através da AI) consists of an agentic system designed to assist in the identification of stone deterioration patterns. Traditional methodologies, based on direct observation by expert teams, are accurate but costly in terms of time and resources. The system developed here introduces and evaluates a multi-agent artificial intelligence (AI) system, designed to simulate collaboration between experts and automate th…

MPOCryptoML: Multi-Pattern based Off-Chain Crypto Money Laundering Detection
Recent advancements in money laundering detection have demonstrated the potential of using graph neural networks to capture laundering patterns accurately. However, existing models are not explicitly designed to detect the diverse patterns of off-chain cryptocurrency money laundering. Neglecting any laundering pattern introduces critical detection gaps, as each pattern reflects unique transactional structures that facilitate the obfuscation of illicit fund origins and movements. Failure to acco…

STPFormer: A State-of-the-Art Pattern-Aware Spatio-Temporal Transformer for Traffic Forecasting
Spatio-temporal traffic forecasting is challenging due to complex temporal patterns, dynamic spatial structures, and diverse input formats. Although Transformer-based models offer strong global modeling, they often struggle with rigid temporal encoding and weak space-time fusion. We propose STPFormer, a Spatio-Temporal Pattern-Aware Transformer that achieves state-of-the-art performance via unified and interpretable representation learning. It integrates four modules: Temporal Position Aggregat…

On subshifts with low maximal pattern complexity
For a finite alphabet $\mathcal{A}$ and a sequence $x \in \mathcal{A}^{\mathbb{N}}$, Kamae and Zamboni defined the maximal pattern complexity function $p^*_x(n)$ as a natural generalization of usual word complexity. They defined a nonperiodic sequence $x$ to be pattern Sturmian if it achieves the minimal growth rate $p^*_x(n) = 2n$, and asked the question of whether one could classify recurrent pattern Sturmian sequences. We answer their question by characterizing recurrent pattern Sturmian s…

Structural and Connectivity Patterns in the Maven Central Software Dependency Network
Understanding the structural characteristics and connectivity patterns of large-scale software ecosystems is critical for enhancing software reuse, improving ecosystem resilience, and mitigating security risks. In this paper, we investigate the Maven Central ecosystem, one of the largest repositories of Java libraries, by applying network science techniques to its dependency graph. Leveraging the Goblin framework, we extracted a sample consisting of the top 5,000 highly connected artifacts base…
