Despite their development for over a decade, a key problem blockchains are still facing is scalability in terms of throughput, typically limited to a few transactions per second. A fundamental factor limiting this metric is the propagation latency of...
Hi! I adopted the most evil cat in the shelter, as staff described, despite being encouraged to look at friendlier cats. Something about him I just couldn’t not give him a chance. I brought him home...
Despite the recent successes of deep learning, such models are still far from some human abilities like learning from few examples, reasoning and explaining decisions. In this paper, we focus on organ annotation in medical images and we introduce a r...
Despite significant advancements in Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs)' capabilities, existing pixel-grounding models operate in single-image settings, limiting their ability to perform detailed, fine-grained comparisons across multiple images. Con...
Greek dance lessons and participated in Greek festivals annually. His stepdad was in the military, however, despite being a "military family" that relocated
The teaching of statistics in higher education in the UK is still largely lecture-based. This is despite recommendations such as those given by the American Statistical Association's GAISE report that more emphasis should be placed on active learning...
Developing vision-language models (VLMs) capable of understanding 3D scenes has been a longstanding goal in the 3D-VL community. Despite recent progress, 3D VLMs still fall short of their 2D counterparts in capability and robustness. A key bottleneck...

The segmentation of emails into functional zones (also dubbed email zoning) is a relevant preprocessing step for most NLP tasks that deal with emails. However, despite the multilingual character of emails and their applications, previous literature r...
Please help me try to get my card back. However you can- upvote for visibility. (TLDR: I won a 2025 METCALF KABOOM 06 /10 in a break and never received it despite it saying "delivered". I thought it...
A zombie apocalypse is one pandemic that would likely be worse than anything humanity has ever seen. However, despite the mechanisms for zombie uprisings in pop culture, it is unknown whether zombies, from an evolutionary point of view, can actually...
The recent DeepSeek-R1 has showcased the emergence of reasoning capabilities in LLMs through reinforcement learning (RL) with rule-based rewards. Despite its success in language models, its application in multi-modal domains, particularly in graphic...
I know that this post will be instantly downvoted by a horde of fans, but I'm still going to share my feedback and opinion of the game so far. I want to share my criticisms despite how I think the com...
This paper addresses the critical challenge of building consumer trust in AI-powered customer engagement by emphasising the necessity for transparency and accountability. Despite the potential of AI to revolutionise business operations and enhance cu...

We observe an instance of gender-induced bias in a downstream application, despite the absence of explicit gender words in the test cases. We provide a test set, SoWinoBias, for the purpose of measuring such latent gender bias in coreference resoluti...
A Kekulé lattice is an exotic, distorted lattice structure exhibiting alternating bond lengths, distinguished from naturally formed atomic crystals. Despite its evident applicability, the formation of a Kekulé lattice from topological solitons in m...

Organic-inorganic halide perovskites recently have emerged as a promising material for highly effective light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and solar cells (SCs). Despite efficiencies of both perovskite SCs and LEDs are already among the best, the developme...
Ionic migration in organo-halide perovskites plays an important role in operation of perovskite based solar cells and light emitting diodes. Despite the ionic migration being a reversible process, it often leads to worsening of perovskite based devic...
