Withings Scanwatch 2: Großes Update bringt KI-Funktionen und längere Laufzeit
Withings präsentiert auf der IFA 2025 ein großes Software-Update für die Hybrid-Smartwatch "ScanWatch 2", mit dem die Laufzeit um fünf Tage verlängert wird.

Slow Horses is a popular series on AppleTV lately. I highly recommend reading the books it’s based on, starting with the novel by that name, by Mick Herron. Think the George Smiley tales of British Cold War MI5, only seedier, and updated to the 21st century. Grimier, with more infighting and backstabbing. These spies are all fuck-ups who hope to get back in good graces with the real ones, but won’t. 7 novels, 3 novellas; all page-turners. Big recommend.

Ich habe am #TagDerDeutschenEinheit erst mal aus #Filderspitzkraut für 2 Euro das Stück direkt vom Bauern einen griechischen Krautsalat gemacht. Seeehhr lecker.

De un espíritu absolutamente rockero, una de las mšs mšs grandes artistas de estos lados mundo, hoy se conmemora el natalicio de Violeta Parra, quien vino a este mundo el 4 de octubre de 1917 en la ciudad de San Carlos (*). ¡Gracias a la vida por darnos a Violeta!

Improving Survival Models in Healthcare by Balancing Imbalanced Cohorts: A Novel Approach
We explore whether survival model performance in underrepresented high- and low-risk subgroups - regions of the prognostic spectrum where clinical decisions are most consequential - can be improved through targeted restructuring of the training dataset. Rather than modifying model architecture, we propose a novel risk-stratified sampling method that addresses imbalances in prognostic subgroup density to support more reliable learning in underrepresented tail strata. We introduce a novel methodo…

Multi-Agent Data Visualization and Narrative Generation
Recent advancements in the field of AI agents have impacted the way we work, enabling greater automation and collaboration between humans and agents. In the data visualization field, multi-agent systems can be useful for employing agents throughout the entire data-to-communication pipeline. We present a lightweight multi-agent system that automates the data analysis workflow, from data exploration to generating coherent visual narratives for insight communication. Our approach combines a hybrid…

Initialization Schemes for Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks: An Empirical Study
Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs) are a recently introduced neural architecture that replace fixed nonlinearities with trainable activation functions, offering enhanced flexibility and interpretability. While KANs have been applied successfully across scientific and machine learning tasks, their initialization strategies remain largely unexplored. In this work, we study initialization schemes for spline-based KANs, proposing two theory-driven approaches inspired by LeCun and Glorot, as well as …
