When Fani Willis took the stand, her fury was precise and laser-focused
Fulton County District Attorney Fani T. Willis (D) sat in the witness seat like it was her throne and she was ready to slice off some heads.

“The future hinges on our ability to both reform the current system and create a new one that genuinely serves the best interests of humanity. To achieve this, we must break down data silos to encourage collaboration, create market conditions in which a diversity of options thrive to fuel creativity, and shift away from polarising content to an environment shaped by a diversity of voices and perspectives that nurture empathy and understanding.”

Marking the Web’s 35th Birthday: An Open Letter - World Wide Web Foundation
Original Hope Three and a half decades ago, when I invented the web, its trajectory was impossible to imagine. There was no roadmap to predict the course of its evolution, it was a captivating odyssey filled with unforeseen opportunities and challenges. Underlying its whole infrastructure was the intention to allow for collaboration, foster compassion and

VIVID: Human-AI Collaborative Authoring of Vicarious Dialogues from Lecture Videos
The lengthy monologue-style online lectures cause learners to lose engagement easily. Designing lectures in a "vicarious dialogue" format can foster learners' cognitive activities more than monologue-style. However, designing online lectures in a dialogue style catered to the diverse needs of learners is laborious for instructors. We conducted a design workshop with eight educational experts and seven instructors to present key guidelines and the potential use of large language models (LLM) to …

Emergent time scales of epistasis in protein evolution
We introduce a data-driven epistatic model of protein evolution, capable of generating evolutionary trajectories spanning very different time scales reaching from individual mutations to diverged homologs. Our in silico evolution encompasses random nucleotide mutations, insertions and deletions, and models selection using a fitness landscape, which is inferred via a generative probabilistic model for protein families. We show that the proposed framework accurately reproduces the sequence statis…

Restored coral reefs can grow as fast as healthy reefs after just four years, researchers find
The coral reefs of south Sulawesi are some of the most diverse, colorful and vibrant in the world. At least, they used to be, until they were decimated by dynamite fishing in the 1990s.

Minimax Optimal rates of convergence in the shuffled regression, unlinked regression, and deconvolution under vanishing noise
Shuffled regression and unlinked regression represent intriguing challenges that have garnered considerable attention in many fields, including but not limited to ecological regression, multi-target tracking problems, image denoising, etc. However, a notable gap exists in the existing literature, particularly in vanishing noise, i.e., how the rate of estimation of the underlying signal scales with the error variance. This paper aims to bridge this gap by delving into the monotone function estim…
