Fredsbevarande Unifil i Libanon på väg att dras in
Nu väntas Unifils mandat avslutas samtidigt som Libanon ska återta kontrollen över hela landet. Det kan komma att gynna terrorgruppen Hizbollah.

Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri said four of the killed, the three children as well as their father, held U.S. citizenship. Two others were wounded, including the mother in the family. Officials at the U.S. […]

C2AL: Cohort-Contrastive Auxiliary Learning for Large-scale Recommendation Systems
Training large-scale recommendation models under a single global objective implicitly assumes homogeneity across user populations. However, real-world data are composites of heterogeneous cohorts with distinct conditional distributions. As models increase in scale and complexity and as more data is used for training, they become dominated by central distribution patterns, neglecting head and tail regions. This imbalance limits the model's learning ability and can result in inactive attention we…

Dialogues with AI Reduce Beliefs in Misinformation but Build No Lasting Discernment Skills
Given the growing prevalence of fake information, including increasingly realistic AI-generated news, there is an urgent need to train people to better evaluate and detect misinformation. While interactions with AI have been shown to durably reduce people's beliefs in false information, it is unclear whether these interactions also teach people the skills to discern false information themselves. We conducted a month-long study where 67 participants classified news headline-image pairs as real o…

Equivariance by Local Canonicalization: A Matter of Representation
Equivariant neural networks offer strong inductive biases for learning from molecular and geometric data but often rely on specialized, computationally expensive tensor operations. We present a framework to transfers existing tensor field networks into the more efficient local canonicalization paradigm, preserving equivariance while significantly improving the runtime. Within this framework, we systematically compare different equivariant representations in terms of theoretical complexity, empi…
