The weird paradox of really disliking AI is that I still find myself thinking about it all the time.
I read about it, I watch videos about it, I write about it, I bring it up in conversation. And just make myself angrier in the process. And make all my algorithms show me more content about it 😓
I feel like I’m Cady in the movie Mean Girls addicted to talking about how she hated Regina George:
“I was a woman possessed. I spent about 80 percent of my time talking about Regina. And the other 20 percent of the time, I was praying for someone else to bring her up so I could talk about her more. [..] I could hear people getting bored with me. But I couldn't stop.”

In-hoc Concept Representations to Regularise Deep Learning in Medical Imaging
Deep learning models in medical imaging often achieve strong in-distribution performance but struggle to generalise under distribution shifts, frequently relying on spurious correlations instead of clinically meaningful features. We introduce LCRReg, a novel regularisation approach that leverages Latent Concept Representations (LCRs) (e.g., Concept Activation Vectors (CAVs)) to guide models toward semantically grounded representations. LCRReg requires no concept labels in the main training set …

Beyond the two-point correlation: constraining primordial non-gaussianity with density perturbation moments
Constraining primordial non-Gaussianities (PNGs) in the large-scale cosmic structure (LSS) is an important step in understanding properties of the early universe, specifically in distinguishing between different inflationary models. Measuring PNG relies on evaluating the scale-dependent correlations in the density field. New summary statistics beyond the two- and three-point correlation functions in configuration space and their Fourier-space counterparts, the power- and bi-spectrum may provide…

Towards Smart Workplaces: Understanding Mood-Influencing Factors of the Physical Workspace in Collaborative Group Settings
Group mood plays a crucial role in shaping workspace experiences, influencing group dynamics, team performance, and creativity. The perceived group mood depends on many, often subconscious, aspects such as individual emotional states or group life, which make it challenging to maintain a positive atmosphere. Intelligent technology could support mood regulation in physical office environments, for example, as adaptive ambient lighting for mood regulation. However, little is known about the relat…

Intermediate scattering function of colloids in a periodic laser field
We investigate the dynamics of individual colloidal particles in a one-dimensional periodic potential using the intermediate scattering function (ISF) as a key observable. We elaborate a theoretical framework and derive formally exact analytical expressions for the ISF. We introduce and analyze a generalized ISF with two wave vectors to capture correlations in a periodic potential beyond the standard ISF. Relying on Bloch's theorem for periodic systems and, by solving the Smoluchowski equation …

A multi-wavelength view of the multi-messenger sources NGC 1068 and PKS 1502+1061
Multi-messenger astronomy offers a powerful approach to studying high-energy radiative processes in astrophysical sources. A notable example was seen in 2017, when the IceCube Neutrino Observatory detected a high-energy neutrino event that was found to coincide with a gamma-ray flare from a blazar. Since then, numerous multi-messenger studies combining neutrino and photon data have been conducted, yet the origin of neutrinos from active galactic nuclei (AGN) remains uncertain. In this work, we …

High-power monolithic narrow-linewidth 1.6 mJ/8 ns fiber laser system based on all-glass spun tapered double-clad fiber amplifier
High-energy, narrow-linewidth nanosecond pulses are highly demanding for many applications that require high temporal and spatial coherence. However, the amplification of narrow-linewidth pulses is primarily limited by stimulated Brillouin scattering, which causes pulse instabilities, back-reflected pulses, and catastrophic damage effects on optical components. In this work, we present a 1.6 mJ narrow-linewidth nanosecond pulsed fiber laser system based on all-glass spun tapered double-clad fib…

Good Morning #Canada
Todays edition of #BigStuffInSmallTowns involves a kinda boring object with an interesting story behind its installation. The tall tale of a man trading a paperclip for a house, and that may be oversimplified, takes us to Kipling Saskatchewan, the home of the Guinness World Record "World's Largest Paper Clip." The paperclip was unveiled on July 12, 2007 and is made of 3043 lbs of solid steel. It is 15 ft. 2 inches tall and 3 ft. 3 inches wide; 45 ft. 6.75 inches long.
Thank you to @… for the article that prompted this post.

Evaluating the Predictive Value of Preoperative MRI for Erectile Dysfunction Following Radical Prostatectomy
Accurate preoperative prediction of erectile dysfunction (ED) is important for counseling patients undergoing radical prostatectomy. While clinical features are established predictors, the added value of preoperative MRI remains underexplored. We investigate whether MRI provides additional predictive value for ED at 12 months post-surgery, evaluating four modeling strategies: (1) a clinical-only baseline, representing current state-of-the-art; (2) classical models using handcrafted anatomical f…

A Note on Carlier Inequality
Recently, Carlier established in [3] a quantitave version of the Fitzpatrick inequality in a Hilbert space. We extend this result by Carlier to the framework of reflexive Banach spaces. In the Hilbert space setting, we obtain an improved version of the strong Fitzpatrick inequality due to Voisei and Zălinescu.

XGBoost meets INLA: a two-stage spatio-temporal forecasting of wildfires in Portugal
Wildfires pose a major threat to Portugal, with an average of over 115,000 hectares burned annually in the 45-year period of 1980-2024. Beyond a high number of ignitions, the country has experienced devastating mega-fires, such as those in 2017. Accurate forecasting of wildfire occurrence and burned areas is therefore essential for effective firefighting resource allocation and emergency preparedness. In this study, we present a novel two-stage ensemble approach that extends the widely used lat…

Evaluation of gamma-ray response of the AstroPix4 HV-CMOS active pixel sensor
AstroPix is a novel high-voltage CMOS active pixel sensor being developed for a next generation gamma-ray space telescope, AMEGO-X. To meet AMEGO-X instrument requirements, AstroPix must achieve full depletion of its $500~\rm{μm}$ thick, $500~\rm{μm}$-pitch pixels. It must be sensitive to gamma rays in the range of $25-700$ keV, with the energy resolution at 122 keV of $<10$%. Furthermore, given the space-based nature of AMEGO-X, the power consumption of AstroPix needs to be lower than $1.5~\…

Integrating Pathology and CT Imaging for Personalized Recurrence Risk Prediction in Renal Cancer
Recurrence risk estimation in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is essential for guiding postoperative surveillance and treatment. The Leibovich score remains widely used for stratifying distant recurrence risk but offers limited patient-level resolution and excludes imaging information. This study evaluates multimodal recurrence prediction by integrating preoperative computed tomography (CT) and postoperative histopathology whole-slide images (WSIs).

ProxelGen: Generating Proteins as 3D Densities
We develop ProxelGen, a protein structure generative model that operates on 3D densities as opposed to the prevailing 3D point cloud representations. Representing proteins as voxelized densities, or proxels, enables new tasks and conditioning capabilities. We generate proteins encoded as proxels via a 3D CNN-based VAE in conjunction with a diffusion model operating on its latent space. Compared to state-of-the-art models, ProxelGen's samples achieve higher novelty, better FID scores, and the sa…

Short video of Didulo exiting the RCMP transport to go into her bail hearing. (She was granted bail but ordered to stay in Regina)
But I thought the most interesting thing was the very short exchange she had with someone, presumably an Indigenous person, off camera.
Off Camera Person (OFP): “Chief George Cody told you and your people to stay off Treaty 4 lands”
Didulo: “Colonial System!”
OFP: “When are you going to leave Treaty 4”
"Didulo: “Under Natural Law there is no colonial system”
OFP: “Sorry! Natural Law is Treaty Law!”
Indeed!
(I would be shocked if Didulo didn't skip town and probably try to cross the border in the middle of Montana or something… 'secure the royal puppies!’)

Zone-sectored organic crystals with spatially resolved exciton dynamics
Among the organic semiconductors, rubrene stands out in terms of hole mobility, luminescence yield and exciton migration distance. A novel type of rubrene microcrystal is prepared in the orthorhombic phase, exhibiting zone-sectored tabular domains with distinct photoluminescence (PL) characteristics. These sectors exhibit distinct PL spectra and time-evolution, arising from differences in the in-plane orientation of the orthorhombic unit cell relative to the crystal surface. A combination of po…
