Speculative Design of Equitable Robotics: Queer Fictions and Futures
This paper examines the speculative topic of equitable robots through an exploratory essay format. It focuses specifically on robots by and for LGBTQ+ populations. It aims to provoke thought and conversations in the field about what aspirational queer robotics futures may look like, both in the arts and sciences. First, it briefly reviews the state-of-the-art of queer robotics in fiction and science, drawing together threads from each. Then, it discusses queering robots through three speculativ…

Probing chromospheric fine structures with an Hα proxy using MURaM-ChE
H$α$ observations of the solar chromosphere reveal dynamic small-scale structures known as spicules at the limb and rapid blue and red shifted excursions (RBEs/RREs) on-disk. We want to understand what drives these dynamic features, their magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) properties and their role in energy and heat transport to the upper solar atmosphere. To do this, we aim to develop a proxy for synthetic H$α$ observations in radiative-MHD simulations to help identify these features. We use the chr…

#Blakes7 Series B, Episode 09 - Countdown
CAUDER: But it's four thousand miles away. It can't be done.
AVON: It can if we use the teleport.
BLAKE: We can teleport right down to the location.
AVON: We'll need special equipment, thermal clothing.

"Please do not use Google AI to find out our specials. Please go on our Facebook page or our website,"

"Google AI is not accurate and is telling people specials that do not exist
which is causing angry customers yelling at our employees."

Local Restaurant Exhausted as Google AI Keeps Telling Customers About Daily Specials That Don't Exist
A restaurant is begging its customers to please stop using notoriously unreliable Google AI to ask about its menu items.

Som autist kjenner jeg en intens fascinasjon for dette bildet. Jeg klarer ikke helt å forklare hvorfor, men hjernen min går i loop på alle detaljene. Fargene, mŸnstrene og alt sammen trigger noe i meg som gjŸr at jeg kan stirre på det i timevis uten å bli lei.
Det fŸles som om bildet har blitt min spesialinteresse akkurat nå. Hver gang jeg ser på det, oppdager jeg noe nytt og spennende som holder meg helt oppslukt. Det gir meg en slags ro og glede som er vanskelig å forklare for andre.…

Features-based embedding or Feature-grounding

Features-based embedding or Feature-grounding
In everyday reasoning, when we think about a particular object, we associate it with a unique set of expected properties such as weight, size, or more abstract attributes like density or horsepower. These expectations are shaped by our prior knowledge and the conceptual categories we have formed through experience. This paper investigates how such knowledge-based structured thinking can be reproduced in deep learning models using features based embeddings. Specially, it introduces an specific a…

Speech Discrete Tokens or Continuous Features? A Comparative Analysis for Spoken Language Understanding in SpeechLLMs
With the rise of Speech Large Language Models (SpeechLLMs), two dominant approaches have emerged for speech processing: discrete tokens and continuous features. Each approach has demonstrated strong capabilities in audio-related processing tasks. However, the performance gap between these two paradigms has not been thoroughly explored. To address this gap, we present a fair comparison of self-supervised learning (SSL)-based discrete and continuous features under the same experimental settings. …
