arXiv:2603.23654v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present Ethio-ASR, a suite of multilingual CTC-based automatic speech recognition (ASR) models jointly trained on five Ethiopian languages: Amharic, Tigrinya, Oromo, Sidaama, and Wolaytta. These languages belong to the Semitic, Cushitic, and Omotic branches of the Afroasiatic family, and remain severely underrepresented in speech technology despite being spoken by the vast majority of Ethiopia’s population. We train our models on the recently released WAXAL corpus using several pre-trained speech encoders and evaluate […]

Introduction Disclaimer: This article is a cross post from Pytorch Medium Blog Post. One of the most exciting advancements, that has pushed the frontier of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) in recent years, is Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL). DRL belongs to the family of machine learning algorithms. It assumes that intelligent machines can learn from their actions similar to the way humans learn from experience. Over the recent years we could witness some impressive real-world applications of DRL. The […]

arXiv:2504.06250v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study the geometric properties of random neural networks by investigating the boundary volumes of their excursion sets for different activation functions, as the depth increases. More specifically, we show that, for activations which are not very regular (e.g., the Heaviside step function), the boundary volumes exhibit fractal behavior, with their Hausdorff dimension monotonically increasing with the depth. On the other hand, for activations which are more regular (e.g., ReLU, logistic and $tanh$), […]

Although cross-domain few-shot learning (CDFSL) for hyper-spectral image (HSI) classification has attracted significant research interest, existing works often rely on an unrealistic data augmentation procedure in the form of external noise to enlarge the sample size, thus greatly simplifying the issue of data scarcity. They involve a large number of parameters for model updates, being prone to the overfitting problem. To the best of our knowledge, none has explored the strength of the foundation model, having strong generalization […]

arXiv:2604.22756v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Conjoint analysis is a cornerstone of market research for estimating consumer preferences; however, traditional methods face persistent challenges regarding time, cost, and respondent fatigue. To address these limitations, this study proposes a framework that utilizes large language model (LLM)-based “customer digital twins (CDT)” as virtual respondents. We identified active users within the Reddit community and aggregated their comprehensive review histories to construct individualized vector databases. By integrating retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) with prompt engineering, […]

MP4 video was built for broadcast, not for the dynamic, data-driven web. As video becomes the primary interface online, static files can’t personalize, adapt, or respond in real time. Blings proposes a runtime video model (MP5) where video is assembled on the fly like software—interactive, composable, privacy-first, and personalized for every viewer.

Data-independent acquisition mass spectrometry (DIA-MS) has established itself as a cornerstone of proteomic profiling and large-scale systems biology, offering unparalleled depth and reproducibility. Current DIA analysis frameworks, however, require semi-supervised training within each run for peptide-spectrum match (PSM) re-scoring. This approach is prone to overfitting and lacks generalizability across diverse species and experimental conditions. Here, we present DIA-CLIP, a pre-trained model shifting the DIA analysis paradigm from semi-supervised training to universal cross-modal representation learning. By integrating dual-encoder contrastive […]
