pfl-research: simulation framework for accelerating research in Private Federated Learning
Federated learning (FL) is an emerging machine learning (ML) training paradigm where clients own their data and collaborate to train a global model, without revealing any data to the server and other participants. Researchers commonly perform experiments in a simulation environment to quickly iterate on ideas. However, existing open-source tools do not offer the efficiency required to simulate FL on larger and more realistic FL datasets. We introduce pfl-research, a fast, modular, and easy-to-u…

A Realistic Surgical Simulator for Non-Rigid and Contact-Rich Manipulation in Surgeries with the da Vinci Research Kit
Realistic real-time surgical simulators play an increasingly important role in surgical robotics research, such as surgical robot learning and automation, and surgical skills assessment. Although there are a number of existing surgical simulators for research, they generally lack the ability to simulate the diverse types of objects and contact-rich manipulation tasks typically present in surgeries, such as tissue cutting and blood suction. In this work, we introduce CRESSim, a realistic surgica…

Radek Sikorski, minister of foreign affairs of Poland on X:
"Let’s be clear on this: when a commentator or a politician calls for ‚peace’ and simultaneously advocates denying the victim of aggression the means to defend herself they actually mean that the victim should capitulate.
Such Chamberlainism usually covers baser motives."
Harsh but true words. He is talking about Scholz for example.

Electrician Simulator
Take over the family business from your Dad and become an electrician. Learn the basics and test your skills in the Electrician Simulator. Repair and assemble sockets, panels, strips, plugs, chandeliers and even change light bulbs. Oh... and don't mix up the wires! Results might be shocking.

Remnant masses from 1D+ core-collapse supernovae simulations: bimodal neutron star mass distribution and black holes in the low-mass gap
The explosion of core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) is an extremely challenging problem, and there are still large uncertainties regarding which stars lead to successful explosions that leave behind a neutron star, and which ones will form a black hole instead. In this paper, we simulate 341 progenitors at three different metallicities using spherically symmetric simulations that include neutrino-driven convection via a mixing-length theory. We use these simulations to improve previously derived …
