Unentanglement and Post-Measurement Branching in Quantum Interactive Proofs
We investigate two resources whose effects on quantum interactive proofs remain poorly understood: the promise of unentanglement, and the verifier's ability to condition on an intermediate measurement, which we call post-measurement branching. We first show that unentanglement can dramatically increase computational power: three-round unentangled quantum interactive proofs equal NEXP, even if only the first message is quantum. By contrast, we prove that if the verifier uses no post-measurement …

A Systematic Survey of Empirical User Studies of Unintentional Information Disclosure in Everyday Digital Interaction
The exchange of personal information in digital environments poses significant risks, including identity theft, privacy breaches, and data misuse. Addressing these challenges requires a deep understanding of user behavior and mental models in diverse contexts. This paper presents a systematic literature review of empirical user studies on unintentional information disclosure in usable security, covering 101 papers published across six leading conferences from 2018 to 2023. The studies are categ…

In Ratio Section Method and Algorithms for Minimizing Unimodal Functions
This paper proposes a new method for section an interval in a given ratio intended for minimizing unimodal functions. The ratio section search is capable of quickly recognizing monotone functions and functions with a flat bottom, which contributes to increasing its performance, as measured by the number of minimized function evaluations. The method is implemented as passive and active algorithms. A comparison of the performance of the developed method with that of the classical methods of bisec…

Consistent Pose Estimation of Unmanned Ground Vehicles through Terrain-Aided Multi-Sensor Fusion on Geometric Manifolds
Aiming to enhance the consistency and thus long-term accuracy of Extended Kalman Filters for terrestrial vehicle localization, this paper introduces the Manifold Error State Extended Kalman Filter (M-ESEKF). By representing the robot's pose in a space with reduced dimensionality, the approach ensures feasible estimates on generic smooth surfaces, without introducing artificial constraints or simplifications that may degrade a filter's performance. The accompanying measurement models are compati…

@… 状況はよくわからないけど :ota: についてはtheoriaさんに了解得ればいいと思うよ。参照つけとくね。

Recently I accidentally tapped the seemingly uninteresting button with the symbol of camera and a plus sign, in #OpenCamera, and discovered that it allows me to switch between different lens! Notably, it allows me to select the "ultrawide" lens that make for better shots of close up objects like Ruh the chestcat.
Apparently, Open Camera selects lens automatically based on zoom level. And I was kinda wondering why it allowed me to zoom out below 1x zoom, but I've figured out it must be some dark magic and never used it.

Unintended Misalignment from Agentic Fine-Tuning: Risks and Mitigation
Beyond simple text generation, Large Language Models (LLMs) have evolved into agentic systems capable of planning and interacting with external tools to solve complex tasks. This evolution involves fine-tuning LLMs on agent-specific tasks to enhance their proficiency. However, safety concerns are frequently overlooked during this fine-tuning process. In this work, we show that aligned LLMs can become unintentionally misaligned, leading to a higher likelihood of executing harmful tasks and a red…
