This is a really well thought-out survey on redesigns for an updated autistic pride flag! I believe it's open to everyone but obviously the input of autistic and neurodivergent people is especially significant. (I also like this survey because it takes the possible overlap with the Metis flag seriously)
Symbols matter, so consider contributing!

Autistic pride flag survey round 2!
In this survey, I'm going to ask you to rate 13 flag designs that have been proposed as autistic pride flags. You will get to see the results of the survey upon submitting. No questions are mandatory so if you run out of steam feel free to submit a partial response. You may edit your response after submitting but you will need to save the special URL google will provide you in order to do so. When you hit submit, right click "edit your response" and save that URL into a text file or somewher…

A Bayesian Incentive Mechanism for Poison-Resilient Federated Learning
Federated learning (FL) enables collaborative model training across decentralized clients while preserving data privacy. However, its open-participation nature exposes it to data-poisoning attacks, in which malicious actors submit corrupted model updates to degrade the global model. Existing defenses are often reactive, relying on statistical aggregation rules that can be computationally expensive and that typically assume an honest majority. This paper introduces a proactive, economic defense:…

Bridging UI Design and chatbot Interactions: Applying Form-Based Principles to Conversational Agents
Domain specific chatbot applications often involve multi step interactions, such as refining search filters, selecting multiple items, or performing comparisons. Traditional graphical user interfaces (GUIs) handle these workflows by providing explicit "Submit" (commit data) and "Reset" (discard data) actions, allowing back-end systems to track user intent unambiguously. In contrast, conversational agents rely on subtle language cues, which can lead to confusion and incomplete context management…

Learning Safe Strategies for Value Maximizing Buyers in Uniform Price Auctions
We study the bidding problem in repeated uniform price multi-unit auctions from the perspective of a single value-maximizing buyer who aims to maximize their cumulative value over $T$ rounds while adhering to return-on-investment (RoI) constraints in each round. Buyers adopt $m$-uniform bidding format, where they submit $m$ bid-quantity pairs $(b_i, q_i)$ to demand $q_i$ units at bid $b_i$. We introduce safe bidding strategies as those that satisfy RoI constraints in every auction, regardless o…

Analyzing the Impact of Strategic Bidding on the Reserve Capacity via a Bi-Level Model
The growing integration of renewable energy sources necessitates adequate reserve capacity to maintain power balance. However, in market clearing, power companies with flexible resources may submit strategic bids to maximize profits, potentially compromising system reserves. This paper examines the effects of such strategic behavior by modeling the market as a bi-level problem. The upper level represents a strategic company aiming to maximize profit, while the lower level simulates the system o…
