EU wohl kurz vor Einigung auf neue Russland-Sanktionen
Die Abgesandten der Europäischen Union stehen nach Angaben von Insidern kurz davor, sich auf ein neues Sanktionspaket gegen Russland zu einigen. Dieses solle unter anderem eine niedrigere Preisobergrenze für russisches Öl beinhalten, sagten vier mit dem Vorhaben vertraute Personen nach einem Treffen. Man habe sich auf alle Bestandteile des Pakets geeinigt, obwohl ein Mitg…

Ensemble of Weak Spectral Total Variation Learners: a PET-CT Case Study
Solving computer vision problems through machine learning, one often encounters lack of sufficient training data. To mitigate this we propose the use of ensembles of weak learners based on spectral total-variation (STV) features (Gilboa 2014). The features are related to nonlinear eigenfunctions of the total-variation subgradient and can characterize well textures at various scales. It was shown (Burger et-al 2016) that, in the one-dimensional case, orthogonal features are generated, whereas in…

Australia is quietly introducing 'unprecedented' age checks for search engines like Google
Just as Australians are adjusting to the idea of having their ages checked for social media, age assurance rules are being applied to search engines and many other corners of the internet.

After stabilizing around 2000-2005, atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gas methane started to rise again, accelerating until a few years ago.
At least the increase seems to be slowing down since 2021.

Unreal is all you need: Multimodal ISAC Data Simulation with Only One Engine
Scaling laws have achieved success in LLM and foundation models. To explore their potential in ISAC research, we propose Great-X. This single-engine multimodal data twin platform reconstructs the ray-tracing computation of Sionna within Unreal Engine and is deeply integrated with autonomous driving tools. This enables efficient and synchronized simulation of multimodal data, including CSI, RGB, Radar, and LiDAR. Based on this platform, we construct an open-source, large-scale, low-altitude UAV …
