Xenofoob marktfundamentalisme uit VVD-verkiezingsprogramma speelt populisten in de kaart
De VVD heeft als eerste partij haar verkiezingsprogramma bekendgemaakt . Het ligt in de lijn der verwachting dat er (helaas) een coalitie gesmeed moet worden met de VVD, omdat het in de peilingen t…

Two operator splitting methods for three-dimensional stochastic Maxwell equations with multiplicative noise
In this paper, we develop two energy-preserving splitting methods for solving three-dimensional stochastic Maxwell equations driven by multiplicative noise. We use operator splitting methods to decouple stochastic Maxwell equations into simple one-dimensional subsystems and construct two stochastic splitting methods, Splitting Method I and Splitting Method II, through a combination of spatial compact difference methods and the midpoint rule in time discretization for the deterministic parts, an…

Waar Giethoorn ligt? Dat hangt er maar van af waar Google Maps het speldje plaatst
Navigatie-apps: Heel wat partijen hebben er belang bij hoe appgebruikers navigeren, van lokale bewoners tot horeca-exploitanten. Dat maakt het interessant om Google Maps te beïnvloeden, zoals inwoners van onder meer Zandvoort en Giethoorn zagen.

FlashCommunication V2: Bit Splitting and Spike Reserving for Any Bit Communication
Nowadays, communication bottlenecks have emerged as a critical challenge in the distributed training and deployment of large language models (LLMs). This paper introduces FlashCommunication V2, a novel communication paradigm enabling efficient cross-GPU transmission at arbitrary bit widths. Its core innovations lie in the proposed bit splitting and spike reserving techniques, which address the challenges of low-bit quantization. Bit splitting decomposes irregular bit widths into basic units, en…

VFLAIR-LLM: A Comprehensive Framework and Benchmark for Split Learning of LLMs
With the advancement of Large Language Models (LLMs), LLM applications have expanded into a growing number of fields. However, users with data privacy concerns face limitations in directly utilizing LLM APIs, while private deployments incur significant computational demands. This creates a substantial challenge in achieving secure LLM adaptation under constrained local resources. To address this issue, collaborative learning methods, such as Split Learning (SL), offer a resource-efficient and p…

Wenn sich Menschen zu (fortlaufenden) Kursen oder Festivals beim Improtheater treffen, ist selten (oder erst sehr spät) die Rede vom beruflichen Hintergrund der Einzelnen.
Generell bewege ich mich in vielen Kontexten, in denen das Berufliche keine Rolle spielt.
Deswegen bin ich negativ überrascht, wenn ich auf „ganz normalem Wege“ eine neue Person kennenlerne und die gleich nach meinem Beruf fragt (und sortiere sie meinerseits in die Schublade „einfach gestrickt“ ein).

Unconditional energy dissipation of Strang splitting for the matrix-valued Allen-Cahn equation
The energy dissipation property of the Strang splitting method was first demonstrated for the matrix-valued Allen-Cahn (MAC) equation under restrictive time-step constraints [J. Comput. Phys. 454, 110985, 2022]. In this work, we eliminate this limitation through a refined stability analysis framework, rigorously proving that the Strang splitting method preserves the energy dissipation law unconditionally for arbitrary time steps. The refined proof hinges on a precise estimation of the double-we…
