BD at BEA 2025 Shared Task: MPNet Ensembles for Pedagogical Mistake Identification and Localization in AI Tutor Responses
We present Team BD's submission to the BEA 2025 Shared Task on Pedagogical Ability Assessment of AI-powered Tutors, under Track 1 (Mistake Identification) and Track 2 (Mistake Location). Both tracks involve three-class classification of tutor responses in educational dialogues - determining if a tutor correctly recognizes a student's mistake (Track 1) and whether the tutor pinpoints the mistake's location (Track 2). Our system is built on MPNet, a Transformer-based language model that combines …

The @… crew are doing a group order of meshtastic wireless devices.
We've selected the Wismesh Pocket v2 plus a small card sized sensor / buzzer. These connect up to 7 hops and we'll be installing 2 solar powered repeaters in Gastown & Mt Pleasant (as well as direct between any two devices)

ASP Chef grows Mustache to look better
We present ASP Chef Mustache, an extension of ASP Chef that enhances template-based rendering of ASP solutions using a logic-less templating system inspired by Mustache. Our approach integrates data visualization frameworks such as Tabulator, Chart.js, and vis.js, enabling interactive representations of ASP interpretations as tables, charts, and graphs. Mustache queries in templates support advanced constructs for formatting, sorting, and multi-stage expansion, facilitating the generation of ri…

The Mostowski Bridge
In 1950, Novak and Mostowski showed that GB (Gödel-Bernays theory of classes) is conservative over ZF, and therefore by Gödel's second incompleteness theorem the consistency of ZF is unprovable in GB. In the same year Mostowski unveiled a contrasting result: GB provides a truth-definition for ZF-formulae. Here we first give an expository account of Mostowski's construction and surrounding results, and then we show that the construction bridges the domain of Tarski-style truth theories over PA…

Feedback-Aware Monte Carlo Tree Search for Efficient Information Seeking in Goal-Oriented Conversations
Effective decision-making and problem-solving in conversational systems require the ability to identify and acquire missing information through targeted questioning. A key challenge lies in efficiently narrowing down a large space of possible outcomes by posing questions that minimize uncertainty. To address this, we introduce a novel framework that leverages Large Language Models (LLMs) to generate information-seeking questions, with Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) to strategically select quest…

Any CEO (especially those that are Billionaires) should be seen as failures if they have to do layoffs.
You fucked up. You're supposed to be the smart one, able to run things properly, but you made a mistake (or many) along the way, and you make others pay for it by destroying their livelihood.
CEO need to be made to pay for their mistakes.

Digital sovereignty can’t be bargained away. The European Commission has tools, public support and a mandate to act on Big Tech. Trading that away for short-term calm would be a costly mistake.

Learning distributed representations with efficient SoftMax normalization
Learning distributed representations, or embeddings, that encode the relational similarity patterns among objects is a relevant task in machine learning. A popular method to learn the embedding matrices $X, Y$ is optimizing a loss function of the term ${\rm SoftMax}(XY^T)$. The complexity required to calculate this term, however, runs quadratically with the problem size, making it a computationally heavy solution. In this article, we propose a linear-time heuristic approximation to compute the …
