Similarities between recharging and refuelling make the switch to electric cars an easier choice
It’s not only the appearance of petrol stations and fuel pumps that has been imitated. The basic principles of charging and refuelling are very similar.

The extraordinary courage of Germany’s wartime ‘traitors’
I once interviewed the late Enoch Powell for this magazine (the article never appeared, for reasons I forget). One thing he said on that occasion stuck with me. He remarked that loyalty to one’s country should be unconditional. I asked him what he thought people should do if their country were taken over by a

SG-XDEAT: Sparsity-Guided Cross-Dimensional and Cross-Encoding Attention with Target-Aware Conditioning in Tabular Learning
We propose SG-XDEAT (Sparsity-Guided Cross Dimensional and Cross-Encoding Attention with Target Aware Conditioning), a novel framework designed for supervised learning on tabular data. At its core, SG-XDEAT employs a dual-stream encoder that decomposes each input feature into two parallel representations: a raw value stream and a target-conditioned (label-aware) stream. These dual representations are then propagated through a hierarchical stack of attention-based modules. SG-XDEAT integrates th…

Research in Collaborative Learning Does Not Serve Cross-Silo Federated Learning in Practice
Cross-silo federated learning (FL) is a promising approach to enable cross-organization collaboration in machine learning model development without directly sharing private data. Despite growing organizational interest driven by data protection regulations such as GDPR and HIPAA, the adoption of cross-silo FL remains limited in practice. In this paper, we conduct an interview study to understand the practical challenges associated with cross-silo FL adoption. With interviews spanning a diverse …
