Social-Pose: Enhancing Trajectory Prediction with Human Body Pose
Accurate human trajectory prediction is one of the most crucial tasks for autonomous driving, ensuring its safety. Yet, existing models often fail to fully leverage the visual cues that humans subconsciously communicate when navigating the space. In this work, we study the benefits of predicting human trajectories using human body poses instead of solely their Cartesian space locations in time. We propose `Social-pose', an attention-based pose encoder that effectively captures the poses of all …

Formal equivalence between global optimization consistency and random search
We formalize a proof that any stochastic and iterative global optimization algorithm is consistent over Lipschitz continuous functions if and only if it samples the whole search space. To achieve this, we use the L$\exists$$\forall$N theorem prover and the Mathlib library. The major challenge of this formalization, apart from the technical aspects of the proof itself, is to converge to a definition of a stochastic and iterative global optimization algorithm that is both general enough to encomp…

What's coming in the next version of XS (eXtended Shell)? cpu and us commands. You can now run a single fragment as another user (us) and even on another host (cpu). Example: ```
cpu host {
echo This command is running remotely on `hostname
}
us root {
echo This command is running as `{id -u}
}
```
`ssh` and `sudo` are used to provide this functionality. You can get the source at

Röwekamp: Friedenssicherung durch Abschreckung
Der Vorsitzende des Verteidigungsausschusses, Thomas Röwekamp, rechnet für den Fall eines dauerhaften Waffenstillstands zwischen Russland und der Ukraine mit einem Einsatz deutscher Soldaten zur Friedenssicherung. Es brauche Abschreckung zur Friedenssicherung. "Und um die Abschreckung glaubhaft zu machen, müssen wir militärische Fähigkeiten haben. Und das bedeutet auch, dass auch…

Bias in the Picture: Benchmarking VLMs with Social-Cue News Images and LLM-as-Judge Assessment
Large vision-language models (VLMs) can jointly interpret images and text, but they are also prone to absorbing and reproducing harmful social stereotypes when visual cues such as age, gender, race, clothing, or occupation are present. To investigate these risks, we introduce a news-image benchmark consisting of 1,343 image-question pairs drawn from diverse outlets, which we annotated with ground-truth answers and demographic attributes (age, gender, race, occupation, and sports). We evaluate a…

Population-Aligned Persona Generation for LLM-based Social Simulation
Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have enabled human-like social simulations at unprecedented scale and fidelity, offering new opportunities for computational social science. A key challenge, however, is the construction of persona sets that authentically represent the diversity and distribution of real-world populations. Most existing LLM-based social simulation studies focus primarily on designing agentic frameworks and simulation environments, often overlooking the complexities…

Was die Ministerin aus BW offenbart ist nicht nur für die Wissenschaft ein Problem. Auch für die Industrie ist es problematisch, wenn internationale Spitzenkräfte nur ungern nach Deutschland kommen und ihre Fähigkeiten lieber in anderen Ländern einbringen.
Um die innere Sicherheit steht es immer schlechter in Deutschland, weil die AfD immer mehr Hass streut und der Innenminster an den Grenzen Gesetze bricht, statt für Sicherheit zu sorgen.

Read the Room: Inferring Social Context Through Dyadic Interaction Recognition in Cyber-physical-social Infrastructure Systems
Cyber-physical systems (CPS) integrate sensing, computing, and control to improve infrastructure performance, focusing on economic goals like performance and safety. However, they often neglect potential human-centered (or ''social'') benefits. Cyber-physical-social infrastructure systems (CPSIS) aim to address this by aligning CPS with social objectives. This involves defining social benefits, understanding human interactions with each other and infrastructure, developing privacy-preserving me…
