Russia-Ukraine talks to resume in Geneva as US claims 'meaningful' progress

Al Jazeera

How the US left Ukraine exposed to Russia's winter war Will Europe use frozen Russian assets to fund war? How can Ukraine rebuild China ties? Russia-Ukraine talks resume in Geneva as US claims'meaningful' progress Day two of the third round of trilateral talks between Russia, Ukraine and the United States is under way in Geneva, Switzerland, as the four-year anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of its neighbour looms next week, with vague references to "progress" but nothing tangible yet shared. Little has been made public about the talks' contents since negotiations kicked off on Tuesday behind closed doors and continued on Wednesday morning. The thorniest of issues, territory and the yielding of it, remains the key sticking point.


Auslan-Daily: Australian Sign Language Translation for Daily Communication and News

Neural Information Processing Systems

Considering different geographic regions generally have their own native sign languages, it is valuable to establish corresponding SL T datasets to support related communication and research. Auslan, as a sign language specific to Australia, still lacks a dedicated large-scale dataset for SL T.




Russia-Ukraine war: List of key events, day 1,455

How the US left Ukraine exposed to Russia's winter war Will Europe use frozen Russian assets to fund war? How can Ukraine rebuild China ties? Three people were killed in a Russian drone attack on a civilian car in the city of Mykolaivka in the Kramatorsk district of Ukraine's Donetsk region, the state's emergency service said in a statement. The three people, as well as another person injured in the attack, were workers at the Sloviansk Thermal Power Station, the Kyiv Independent news outlet reported. A woman died after being injured in a Russian drone attack in Ukraine's Zaporizhia region, Governor Ivan Fedorov wrote on the Telegram messaging app.


Text Alignment Is An Efficient Unified Model for Massive NLP Tasks

Neural Information Processing Systems

Large language models (LLMs), typically designed as a function of next-word prediction, have excelled across extensive NLP tasks. Despite the generality, next-word prediction is often not an efficient formulation for many of the tasks, demanding an extreme scale of model parameters (10s or 100s of billions) and sometimes yielding suboptimal performance. In practice, it is often desirable to build more efficient models--despite being less versatile, they still apply to a substantial subset of problems, delivering on par or even superior performance with much smaller model sizes.




Appendix for "Episodic Multi-Task Learning with Heterogeneous Neural Processes "

Neural Information Processing Systems

Appendix for "Episodic Multi-T ask Learning with Heterogeneous Neural Processes" In this section, we list frequently asked questions from researchers who help proofread this manuscript. As shown in Table 1, we use "Heterogeneous tasks" to distinguish the different branches of multi-task Meanwhile, "Episodic training" is used to describe the data-feeding strategy. Thus, "Heterogeneous tasks" is not available here (-). In episodic multi-task learning, we restrict the scope of the problem to the case where tasks in the same episode are related and share the same target space. This also implies that tasks with the same target space are related.
