Orbital Collision: An Indigenously Developed Web-based Space Situational Awareness Platform
This work presents an indigenous web based platform Orbital Collision (OrCo), created by the Space Systems Laboratory at IIIT Delhi, to enhance Space Situational Awareness (SSA) by predicting collision probabilities of space objects using Two Line Elements (TLE) data. The work highlights the growing challenges of congestion in the Earth's orbital environment, mainly due to space debris and defunct satellites, which increase collision risks. It employs several methods for propagating orbital unc…

Beyond Rate Coding: Surrogate Gradients Enable Spike Timing Learning in Spiking Neural Networks
We investigate the extent to which Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) trained with Surrogate Gradient Descent (Surrogate GD), with and without delay learning, can learn from precise spike timing beyond firing rates. We first design synthetic tasks isolating intra-neuron inter-spike intervals and cross-neuron synchrony under matched spike counts. On more complex spike-based speech recognition datasets (Spiking Heidelberg Digits (SHD) and Spiking Speech Commands (SSC), we construct variants where spi…

Large-scale illegal wildlife shops in Laos found scamming Chinese tourists
LUANG PRABANG, Laos — “No coffee, no coffee,” repeated the security guard. His smile stood in stark contrast to his faded camouflage fatigues and the machine gun slung over his shoulder. Few cafés in the sleepy Laotian tourist town of Luang Prabang boast armed guards, but Kin Liao Coffee is not the average café. While […]
