Google Search translates with AI the Wikipedia summaries in the sidebar from English into Bulgarian, which results in misgendering, weird direct translations, and straight up nonsense. For instance, according to this AI slop translation, Glennon Doyle is male. 1/2

To the genocide-loving German from mastodon.social who reported @… for being antisemitic:
Fuck you, you genocide-loving piece of shit, opposing genocide isn’t antisemitism. What you’re doing – conflating being anti-genocide with being antisemitic – is the greatest antisemitism as you’re de facto stating that all Jews are pro-genocide.

I relied on machine translation for this sign; looking for a human who speaks Arabic to verify that it's correct:

ConECT Dataset: Overcoming Data Scarcity in Context-Aware E-Commerce MT
Neural Machine Translation (NMT) has improved translation by using Transformer-based models, but it still struggles with word ambiguity and context. This problem is especially important in domain-specific applications, which often have problems with unclear sentences or poor data quality. Our research explores how adding information to models can improve translations in the context of e-commerce data. To this end we create ConECT -- a new Czech-to-Polish e-commerce product translation dataset c…

Investigating the Perception of Translational Shape-Changing Haptic Interfaces
Shape-changing haptic interfaces (SCHIs) are a promising and emerging field. However, compared to more established stimulus modalities, such as vibration, there is sparse literature on the perception of dynamic shapes. Furthermore, the influence of properties such as grasp types and displacement magnitude/direction has not been formally evaluated. This work attempts to initiate a formal perceptual evaluation of SCHIs via a psychophysical user study involving a 1-DOF translational shape-changing…

Optimal Transport Driven Asymmetric Image-to-Image Translation for Nuclei Segmentation of Histological Images
Segmentation of nuclei regions from histological images enables morphometric analysis of nuclei structures, which in turn helps in the detection and diagnosis of diseases under consideration. To develop a nuclei segmentation algorithm, applicable to different types of target domain representations, image-to-image translation networks can be considered as they are invariant to target domain image representations. One of the important issues with image-to-image translation models is that they fai…

A counter example for the Homogeneity Conjecture
We construct a counter example to show that the Homogeneity Conjecture, first proposed by J.A. Wolf in 1962, is not true. To be precise, we prove that on the Lie group Sp(2), there exists a left invariant Riemannian metric and a cyclic subgroup Γ of order (2n+1), such that the left translation of each element of Γ on Sp(2) is a Clifford-Wolf translation, but the Riemannian quotient Γ\Sp(2) is not homogeneous.

Interacting Electronic Topology of Nonlocal Crystals
Nonlocal crystals are systems with translational symmetry but arbitrary range couplings or interactions between degrees of freedom. We argue that the notion of topology in such systems does not collapse to that in zero dimensions, as one may naively expect in view of the infinite interaction range. At the same time, we show that the range of available topological phases can be enriched in comparison to the case with local interactions. This is demonstrated by constructing an example of a fermio…
