We introduce an approach that creates animatable human avatars from monocular videos using 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS). Existing methods based on neural radiance fields (NeRFs) achieve high-quality novel-view/novel-pose image synthesis but often req...
For positive definite matrices $A$ and $B$, the Kubo-Ando matrix power mean is defined as $$ P_μ(p, A, B) = A^{1/2}\left(\frac{1+(A^{-1/2}BA^{-1/2})^p}{2}\right )^{1/p} A^{1/2}\quad (p \ge 0). $$ In this paper, for $0\le p \le 1 \le q$, we show th...
Automated text simplification, a technique useful for making text more accessible to people such as children and emergent bilinguals, is often thought of as a monolingual translation task from complex sentences to simplified sentences using encoder-d...
Tyla Laura Seethal, mononymously known as Tyla, (30 January 2002) is a South African singer and songwriter. Her musical style is characterised by a fusion
FitzGerald identified four conditions (RI), (UR), (RI*) and (UR*) that are necessarily satisfied by an algebra, if its monoid of endomorphisms has commuting idempotents. We show that these conditions are not sufficient, by giving an example of an alg...
This paper presents AI Wizards' participation in the CLEF 2025 CheckThat! Lab Task 1: Subjectivity Detection in News Articles, classifying sentences as subjective/objective in monolingual, multilingual, and zero-shot settings. Training/development da...
Training a neural network is a monolithic endeavor, akin to carving knowledge into stone: once the process is completed, editing the knowledge in a network is hard, since all information is distributed across the network's weights. We here explore a...
The Monolith (2001: A Space Odyssey) - A perfectly smooth black slab that appears throughout human evolution. It never speaks or acts directly, yet its presence drives profound transformation. It’s ...
Nov 13, 2025 · Crowe is a volume scorer, who can rattle off buckets in bunches when he gets going, but also has stretches where he can monopolize the ball and hunt shots.
Program text is rendered using impoverished typographic styles. Beyond choice of fonts and syntax-highlighting colors, code editors and related tools utilize very few text decorations. These limited styles are, furthermore, applied in monolithic fash...
This paper presents the LIG-CRIStAL submission to the shared Automatic Post- Editing task of WMT 2017. We propose two neural post-editing models: a monosource model with a task-specific attention mechanism, which performs particularly well in a low-r...
According to one of the individuals familiar with the situation, Kimmel was prepared to deliver his monologue the night he was taken off the air and had planned to address the right-wing backlash to …
Energy theory for incompressible Newtonian fluids is, in many cases, capable of producing strong absolute stability criteria for steady flows. In those fluids the kinetic energy naturally defines a norm in which perturbations decay monotonically in...
It is a classical insight that the Yoneda embedding defines an equivalence of schemes as locally ringed spaces with schemes as sheaves on the big Zariski site. Similarly, the Yoneda embedding identifies monoid schemes (or $\mathbb{F}_1$-schemes in th...
An \emph{auspicious tatami mat arrangement} is a tiling of a rectilinear region with two types of tiles, $1 \times 2$ tiles (dimers) and $1 \times 1$ tiles (monomers). The tiles must cover the region and satisfy the constraint that no four corners of...
We show that the natural map from the syntomification of a ring $R$ to the stack of $R$-algebra stacks is fully faithful, answering a question of Drinfeld, and we describe its essential image in terms of underlying monoid stacks. We also give similar...
The goal is to show how a 1978 paper of Richard Wood on monoidal comonads and exponentiation relates to more recent publications such as Pastro-Street (2009) and Bruguiéres-Lack-Virelizier (2011). In the process, we mildly extend the ideas to procom...
Iliya Ferdartsova, mononymously known as Iliya, is a Belarusian songwriter and producer. She participated in HYBE X Geffen Records' survival show: The Debut: Dream Academy, where she …
