arXiv:2603.02343v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper introduces Pulli Kolam, a traditional South Indian craft, as a medium for physical data representation. Grounded in its cultural meaning and embodied practice, Pulli Kolam follows structured geometric rules while allowing creative variation. We identify five mapping strategies within Kolam (dots, patterns, fills, lines, and color) that can be used for representing data physically. without disrupting traditional practice. Through an illustrative scenario of daily well-being tracking, we demonstrate how data representation […]

The Cloudflare developer platform is excellent. The tooling gap is real. Cloudflare’s developer platform has matured significantly. D1 gives you a SQLite-compatible serverless database running at the edge. R2 offers S3-compatible object storage with zero egress fees. Workers KV delivers globally replicated key-value reads with single-digit millisecond latency. Cloudflare Images handles upload, optimization, transformation, and delivery via a CDN; all through a single API. The platform is genuinely capable. What it lacks is a decent local development experience […]

arXiv:2603.23506v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The rapid proliferation of large language models (LLMs) in healthcare creates an urgent need for scalable and psychometrically sound evaluation methods. Conventional static benchmarks are costly to administer repeatedly, vulnerable to data contamination, and lack calibrated measurement properties for fine-grained performance tracking. We propose and validate a computerized adaptive testing (CAT) framework grounded in item response theory (IRT) for efficient assessment of standardized medical knowledge in LLMs. The study comprises a two-phase design: […]

The way we interact with project management tools is changing. Instead of clicking through endless menus and dashboards, what if you could simply ask your AI assistant to create sprints, track time, or generate team reports? That’s exactly what the GitScrum MCP Server enables. Built on the Model Context Protocol, this open-source server connects AI assistants like Claude, GitHub Copilot, and Cursor directly to your GitScrum workspace. It’s not just another integration—it’s a complete operational layer that gives […]

arXiv:2603.26748v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper addresses key challenges in the development of autonomous landing systems, focusing on dataset limitations for supervised training of Machine Learning (ML) models for object detection. Our main contributions include: (1) Enhancing dataset diversity, by advocating for the inclusion of new sources such as BingMap aerial images and Flight Simulator, to widen the generation scope of an existing dataset generator used to produce the dataset LARD; (2) Refining the Operational Design Domain […]
