Abstract: We establish a generalized analogue of the Boothby-Wang theorem in generalized contact geometry, along with related results. We present a general method for constructing examples of generalized contact structures that are not of Poon-Wade type, and even examples that fail to be generalized contact structures. Using Courant reduction methods, we construct a generalized complex structure on a smooth leaf space and equip the generalized contact manifold with a principal bundle structure whose connection is defined by the generalized contact data. Under mild assumptions, we show that the curvature induces a symplectic foliation on the leaf space. Several examples are provided.

I see that the European Commission is adopting that well-tested method for "simplification", called "let's rewrite all basic definitions in the law from scratch and throw 10 years of court rulings out of the window, so we can start anew!".

From Isolation to Integration: Building an Adaptive Expert Forest for Pre-Trained Model-based Class-Incremental Learning

Abstract: Class-Incremental Learning (CIL) requires models to learn new classes without forgetting old ones. A common method is to freeze a pre-trained model and train a new, lightweight adapter for each task. While this prevents forgetting, it treats the learned knowledge as a simple, unstructured collection and fails to use the relationships between tasks. To this end, we propose the Semantic-guided Adaptive Expert Forest (SAEF), a new method that organizes adapters into a structured hierarchy for better knowledge sharing. SAEF first groups tasks into conceptual clusters based on their semantic relationships. Then, within each cluster, it builds a balanced expert tree by creating new adapters from merging the adapters of similar tasks. At inference time, SAEF finds and activates a set of relevant experts from the forest for any given input. The final prediction is made by combining the outputs of these activated experts, weighted by how confident each expert is. Experiments on several benchmark datasets show that SAEF achieves SOTA performance.

Hello Stranger?
I took this photo recently on a hike on one of my local hills when I turned around and saw a stranger walking there.
I hardly ever have people in my photos, because I don't WANT people there. But this scene was so different.
The fog was just thick enough to see the person, yet I didn't feel like the person was "near". It all just felt so distant.

SOM-VQ: Topology-Aware Tokenization for Interactive Generative Models

Abstract: Vector-quantized representations enable powerful discrete generative models but lack semantic structure in token space, limiting interpretable human control. We introduce SOM-VQ, a tokenization method that combines vector quantization with Self-Organizing Maps to learn discrete codebooks with explicit low-dimensional topology. Unlike standard VQ-VAE, SOM-VQ uses topology-aware updates that preserve neighborhood structure: nearby tokens on a learned grid correspond to semantically similar states, enabling direct geometric manipulation of the latent space. We demonstrate that SOM-VQ produces more learnable token sequences in the evaluated domains while providing an explicit navigable geometry in code space. Critically, the topological organization enables intuitive human-in-the-loop control: users can steer generation by manipulating distances in token space, achieving semantic alignment without frame-level constraints. We focus on human motion generation - a domain where kinematic structure, smooth temporal continuity, and interactive use cases (choreography, rehabilitation, HCI) make topology-aware control especially natural - demonstrating controlled divergence and convergence from reference sequences through simple grid-based sampling. SOM-VQ provides a general framework for interpretable discrete representations applicable to music, gesture, and other interactive generative domains.

ENDA en tekst fra #Toje i #Aftenposten. Nå prŸver han å skille mellom deskriptive analyser og normative, politiske lŸsninger. Men han overser glatt at hans forsŸk på deskriptive "analyser" er så mettet med normativt ladede begreper, premisser og vinklinger at svaret hans ikke holder vann.
Some photos from today's hike in the mountains. To escape the fog.
It was very very icy at the bottom. And I was super happy to have my micro spikes.
The way up was pretty calm. Right the #silentsunday I had desired. At the summit there were a bit too many people and I didn't see proper motives. So I just enjoyed the view and the really warm temperature.
