The Rubik's Cube Perfect Scramble
The ChallengeI was playing with my son’s Rubik’s Cubes and tried to scramble a cube randomly so that no two squares with the same color were side by side. Here’s one way to do it: But I wanted a scramble that looked like a random scramble. No matter how many different moves I made, I couldn’t do it. Every time I separated two squares with the same color, two other squares of the same color would touch somewhere else.Looking for an easy answer, I went to puzzling.stackexchange.com and fo…

Not Only Consistency: Enhance Test-Time Adaptation with Spatio-temporal Inconsistency for Remote Physiological Measurement
Remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) has emerged as a promising non-invasive method for monitoring physiological signals using the camera. Although various domain adaptation and generalization methods were proposed to promote the adaptability of deep-based rPPG models in unseen deployment environments, considerations in aspects like privacy concerns and real-time adaptation restrict their application in real-world deployment. Thus, we aim to propose a novel fully Test-Time Adaptation (TTA) strate…

The Gaia RVS Benchmark Stars. III . Confirmed and New High Radial Velocity Stars From Gaia DR3
High-velocity stars are interesting targets to unveil the formation of the Milky Way. In fact they can be recently accreted from an infalling dwarf galaxies or they can be the result of a turbulent merging of galaxies. Gaia is providing the community a way to select stars for their kinematics and the radial velocity, one of the speed components, is derived from the Gaia RVS spectrum. High absolute radial velocity values are sensitive to be false positive. They are rare and as such they are more…
