Object shaping by grinding is a crucial industrial process in which a rotating grinding belt removes material. Object-shape transition models are essential to achieving automation by robots; however, learning such a complex model that depends on proc...
“transgender.” While transgender is generally a good term to use, not everyone whose appearance or behavior is gender-nonconforming will identify as a transgender person. The ways in which …
If (S,h) is an open book with disconnected binding then we can form a new open book (S',h') by capping off one of the boundary components of S with a disk. We define a U-equivariant map on Heegaard Floer homology which sends c^+(S',h') to c^+(S,h), a...

web television and miniseries) that premiered in the 2020s which feature lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender characters. Non-binary, pansexual, asexual
We study mechanisms for an allocation of goods among agents, where agents have no incentive to lie about their true values (incentive compatible) and for which no agent will seek to exchange outcomes with another (envy-free). Mechanisms satisfying ea...
I (33F) and my husband Tom (35M) have been NC with most of his family for three years. Within those three years, I've had twin boys, which has made my MIL try to get back in contact with me. There's a...
We study fairness in the allocation of discrete goods. Exactly fair (envy-free) allocations are impossible, so we discuss notions of approximate fairness. In particular, we focus on allocations in which the swap of two items serves to eliminate any e...
Some time ago, my old Kobo ereader broke, which led me to look for a new one. I’ve become increasingly interested in open and repairable hardware, such as the Framework laptop and Fairphone, but hav...
Penis envy (German: Penisneid) is a stage in Sigmund Freud's theory of female psychosexual development, in which young girls experience anxiety upon realization
Envy is an emotion which occurs when a person lacks another's quality, skill, achievement, or possession and either desires it or wishes that the other
There are many angles to PLTR’s business which makes it both exciting but also confusing to see the profitable path forward. I want to offer some thoughts in hopes of sharing different insights than...
of large systems (e.g., Microsoft Windows software, etc.), which are internally inconsistent. Many of the ideas introduced in the actor model are now also
We present the Mu-SHROOM shared task which is focused on detecting hallucinations and other overgeneration mistakes in the output of instruction-tuned large language models (LLMs). Mu-SHROOM addresses general-purpose LLMs in 14 languages, and frames...
For any affine Hopf algebra $H$ which admits a large central Hopf subalgebra, $H$ can be endowed with a Cayley-Hamilton Hopf algebra structure in the sense of De Concini-Procesi-Reshetikhin-Rosso. The category of finite-dimensional modules over any f...
Deep neural networks often suffer from poor generalization caused by complex and non-convex loss landscapes. One of the popular solutions is Sharpness-Aware Minimization (SAM), which smooths the loss landscape via minimizing the maximized change of t...
Population pressure is speeding the rate of deforestation in Sub-Saharan Africa, increasing the cost of biomass cooking fuel, which over 80 percent of the population relies upon. Higher energy input costs for meal preparation command a larger portion...
So we are building a home with a detached casita in Santa Fe which means that we are looking at every kind of appliance for both. Based on a combination of online reviews, comments I’ve read here, y...
We fit an isothermal oscillatory density model to the disk of HD 163296 in which planets have presumably already formed and they are orbiting at least within the four observed dark gaps. This 156 AU large axisymmetric disk shows various physical prop...
Facial expressions convey nonverbal cues which play an important role in interpersonal relations, and are widely used in behavior interpretation of emotions, cognitive science, and social interactions. In this paper we analyze different ways of repre...
