MB-Loc: Multi-planar Bird's-eye-view Localization in outdoor LiDAR scenes

Announce Type: new Abstract: Global LiDAR localization is a fundamental task for autonomous navigation systems. Recent methods perform Scene Coordinate Regression (SCR) and achieve superior accuracy over Absolute Pose Regression (APR) solutions by predicting dense 3D world coordinates. However, SCR approaches introduce two major bottlenecks: severe computational inefficiency from processing raw 3D geometries and significant performance degradation under varying sensor viewpoints.

AI Loss of Control Incident Management: Response & Resilience

Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent research demonstrating AI systems exhibiting deception and shutdown resistance suggests that AI loss of control (LOC) is an urgent policy concern , yet current literature focuses almost exclusively on alignment and prevention. To address this gap, this paper introduces a foundational framework and taxonomy for managing catastrophic AI LOC incidents.

PoK man caught in Uri, cops suspect affair

An intruder from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) was caught crossing the LoC in north Kashmir’s Uri sector, the Army said Sunday as unconfirmed reports and a social media video suggested the sneak-in was driven by a love affair with a local woman. Sources said the man was identified as Zeeshan Ahmad Mir, 22, a resident of Painkadi village in PoK’s Muzaffarabad district. He was caught late Saturday as he entered through the Haji Peer range in Uri’s Silikote area.

At least 11 people were killed on Sunday during clashes between police and protesters in Pakistan-administered Kashmir’s Rawalakot city, capital of Poonch district, before a major demonstration scheduled by a banned civil society group for Tuesday.

Grit: Rewriting Git in Rust with Agents

A few months ago I read about Anthropic's experiment of releasing a swarm of agents to write a functioning C compiler and it made me wonder about the feasibility of using that same approach to accomplish something I've been dreaming about for 15 years now, not long after we started GitHub - rewrite Git from scratch to be library based. Git is of course a very complex piece of software. There are lots of "plumbing" commands, lots of higher level commands - it was put together incrementally by...

Category-selective functional connectivity during episodic encoding and retrieval in younger and older adults

Regions within ventral occipito-temporal cortex exhibit category-selective BOLD responses during episodic encoding and retrieval of visual information. How these regions interact with other brain areas during successful encoding and retrieval, and whether these interactions relate to memory performance, remains unclear. The present study examined category-selective functional connectivity using psychophysiological interaction (PPI) analyses in younger and older adults during the encoding and...
