We measure the intrinsic alignments of the blue and the red galaxies separately by analyzing the spectroscopic data of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 6 (SDSS DR6). For both samples of the red and the blue galaxies with axial ratios of b/...
The energy band alignment at the interface of van der Waals heterostructures (vdWHs) is a key design parameter for next-generation electronic and optoelectronic devices. Although the Anderson and midgap models have been widely adopted for bulk semico...
Audio-aware large language models (ALLMs) have recently made great strides in understanding and processing audio inputs. These models are typically adapted from text-based large language models (LLMs) through additional training on audio-related task...
Standardized alignment of the embryo in three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound images aids prenatal growth monitoring by facilitating standard plane detection, improving visualization of landmarks and accentuating differences between different scans. In t...
Slot Attention (SA) with pretrained diffusion models has recently shown promise for object-centric learning (OCL), but suffers from slot entanglement and weak alignment between object slots and image content. We propose Contrastive Object-centric Dif...
Advances in gene sequencing have enabled in silico analyses of microbial genomes and have led to the revision of concepts of microbial taxonomy and evolution. We explore deficiencies in existing multiple sequence global alignment algorithms and intro...
This paper introduces function alignment, a novel theory of mind and intelligence that is both intuitively compelling and structurally grounded. It explicitly models how meaning, interpretation, and analogy emerge from interactions among layered repr...
We present a method for the computation of the Generalized Alignment Index (GALI), a fast and effective chaos indicator, using a multi-particle approach that avoids variational equations. We show that this approach is robust and accurate by deriving...
We point out that on 22 January 2026, the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS will align to within an exceptionally small angle, alpha= 0.69 degrees, with the Earth-Sun axis. This rare alignment provides unique circumstances for measuring the opposition sur...
We address the problem of estimating the sensitivity of seed-based similarity search algorithms. In contrast to approaches based on Markov models [18, 6, 3, 4, 10], we study the estimation based on homogeneous alignments. We describe an algorithm f...
[CVPR 2018] Look at Boundary: A Boundary-Aware Face Alignment Algorithm (⭐ 1021)
The Perseids meteor shower peaked during the same week as a solar eclipse, creating a rare astronomical alignment for stargazers.

Personalization is one of the next milestones in advancing AI capability and alignment. We introduce PersonaMem-v2, the state-of-the-art dataset for LLM personalization that simulates 1,000 realistic user-chatbot interactions on 300+ scenarios, 20,00...
U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders criticized U.S. alignment with Israel and Saudi Arabia, accusing them of pushing for confrontation with Iran. He also condemned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ov...
Stretching in continuum mechanics is naturally described using the Cauchy-Green strain tensors. These tensors quantify the Lagrangian stretching experienced by a material element, and provide a powerful way to study processes in turbulent fluid flows...
Look up NE, Ne, or ne in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. NE, Ne or ne may refer to: Neutral Evil, an alignment in the American role-playing game Dungeons
First impressions after unboxing: Material: PVC sole grips well / Check pattern alignment is precise Fit: Snug toe box (wide feet go +0.5) / TTS for standard width (I'm EU47) Break-in: Comfortable ...
We investigate spreading of phase separated copolymer films, where domain walls and thickness steps influence polymer flow. We show that at early stages of spreading its rate is determined by slow activated flow at terrace steps (i.e. thickness ste...
This paper develops a prudential framework for assessing the reliability of large language models (LLMs) in reinsurance. A five-pillar architecture--governance, data lineage, assurance, resilience, and regulatory alignment--translates supervisory exp...
