Ein Denkmal für Überlebende: „Petrified Survivors“ im Wedding https://weddingweiser.de/ein-denkmal-fuer-ueberlebende-petrified-survivors-im-wedding/

"A federal appeals court on Monday refused to throw out an $83.3 million jury verdict against U.S. President Donald Trump for damaging the reputation of the writer E. Jean Carroll in 2019 when he denied her rape claim.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan rejected Trump's argument that the January 2024 verdict should be overturned because he deserved presidential immunity from Carroll's lawsuit."

Adaptive double-phase Rudin--Osher--Fatemi denoising model
We propose a new image denoising model based on a variable-growth total variation regularization of double-phase type with adaptive weight. It is designed to reduce staircasing with respect to the classical Rudin--Osher--Fatemi model, while preserving the edges of the image in a similar fashion. We implement the model and test its performance on synthetic and natural images in 1D and 2D over a range of noise levels.

Empowering Denoising Sequential Recommendation with Large Language Model Embeddings
Sequential recommendation aims to capture user preferences by modeling sequential patterns in user-item interactions. However, these models are often influenced by noise such as accidental interactions, leading to suboptimal performance. Therefore, to reduce the effect of noise, some works propose explicitly identifying and removing noisy items. However, we find that simply relying on collaborative information may result in an over-denoising problem, especially for cold items. To overcome these…

Deciphering Invariant Feature Decoupling in Source-free Time Series Forecasting with Proxy Denoising
The proliferation of mobile devices generates a massive volume of time series across various domains, where effective time series forecasting enables a variety of real-world applications. This study focuses on a new problem of source-free domain adaptation for time series forecasting. It aims to adapt a pretrained model from sufficient source time series to the sparse target time series domain without access to the source data, embracing data protection regulations. To achieve this, we propose …

Quantum Fourier Transform Based Denoising: Unitary Filtering for Enhanced Speech Clarity
This paper introduces a quantum-inspired denoising framework that integrates the Quantum Fourier Transform (QFT) into classical audio enhancement pipelines. Unlike conventional Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) based methods, QFT provides a unitary transformation with global phase coherence and energy preservation, enabling improved discrimination between speech and noise. The proposed approach replaces FFT in Wiener and spectral subtraction filters with a QFT operator, ensuring consistent hyperpara…

Demagnifying gravitational lenses as probes of dark matter structures and nonminimal couplings to gravity

Demagnifying gravitational lenses as probes of dark matter structures and nonminimal couplings to gravity
Magnification of total image fluxes is typically considered a defining feature of gravitational microlensing. In contrast, I will show that nonminimal couplings to gravity can generate regions of negative gravitational potential curvature, giving rise to the distinctive possibility of demagnification. Such events, appearing as flux troughs in microlensing light curves, provide a direct probe of dark matter structures and, crucially, offer a means to disentangle nonminimal couplings to gravity f…

A Death Row Inmate Was Released on Bail After His Conviction Was Overturned. Louisiana Still Wants to Execute Him.
