Summer has arrived, which means its vacation season--and there are plenty of travel tips to be found among the best movies on streaming this May. A bloody ballet battle royale in Budapest in Prime Video's a visit to the picturesque (and definitely not haunted) Dutch forests in Shudder's, or an action-packed trip to Japan courtesy of Netflix's, are just some of the locations sure to give you wanderlust this month. If you fancy something a bit more tropical, then look no further than on Hulu--although director Sam Raimi's twisty survival horror might have you thinking twice before turning on your out-of-office emails. And, if the rising temperatures are already too much, the Antarctic chill of John Carpenter's classic, and its 1950s inspiration,, are both landing on Criterion. Here are WIRED's picks of the best movies to watch right now.

Zelenskyy says'time is right' for Ukraine to start process of joining EU Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has told European Union leaders that now is the time to begin the process of Ukraine's accession to the bloc, describing a proposal for associate membership as "unfair". Zelenskyy said in a letter to EU leaders on Friday that associate membership would leave Ukraine "voiceless" because it would not have voting rights, which would prevent Kyiv from advancing its interests, the Reuters news agency reported. Under Orban, who maintained close ties with Russia, Budapest repeatedly used its veto power to block Ukraine's accession bid and stalled approval of aid for Kyiv. Zelenskyy's push for EU membership comes as both Kyiv and Moscow seek to advance their interests on the battlefield. The head of the Russian-occupied Luhansk region in eastern Ukraine said on Saturday the death toll from a drone attack a day earlier had risen to 10. Vladimir Putin has ordered his forces to respond to the attack, which allegedly hit a student dormitory in the town of Starobilsk.

The Sauer-Shelah-Perles Lemma is a cornerstone of combinatorics and learning theory, bounding the size of a binary hypothesis class in terms of its Vapnik-Chervonenkis (VC) dimension. For classes of functions over a $k$-ary alphabet, namely the multiclass setting, the Natarajan dimension has long served as an analogue of VC dimension, yet the corresponding Sauer-type bounds are suboptimal for alphabet sizes $k>2$. In this work, we establish a sharp Sauer inequality for multiclass and list prediction. Our bound is expressed in terms of the Daniely--Shalev-Shwartz (DS) dimension, and more generally with its extension, the list-DS dimension -- the combinatorial parameters that characterize multiclass and list PAC learnability. Our bound is tight for every alphabet size $k$, list size $\ell$, and dimension value, replacing the exponential dependence on $\ell$ in the Natarajan-based bound by the optimal polynomial dependence, and improving the dependence on $k$ as well. Our proof uses the polynomial method. In contrast to the classical VC case, where several direct combinatorial proofs are known, we are not aware of any purely combinatorial proof in the DS setting. This motivates several directions for future research, which are discussed in the paper. As consequences, we obtain improved sample complexity upper bounds for list PAC learning and for uniform convergence of list predictors, sharpening the recent results of Charikar et al.~(STOC~2023), Hanneke et al.~(COLT~2024), and Brukhim et al.~(NeurIPS~2024).

Ready to hit the mute button on reality? Deep in the Pembrokeshire countryside lies a cosmic retreat that feels almost light years away from Earth. The awe-inspiring Spodnic UFO is one of three standout stays at Melin Mabes, a four-acre glamping site owned and ran by Martin Johnson and his wife, CarolAnne. 'It looks like it's just landed from outer space and aliens could come out,' Martin notes as he showcases his brainchild during the first episode of Channel's World's Most Secret Hotels.

Reinforcement learning (RL) has become a standard technique for post-training diffusion-based image synthesis models, as it enables learning from reward signals to explicitly improve desirable aspects such as image quality and prompt alignment. In this paper, we propose an online RL variant that reduces the variance in the model updates by sampling paired trajectories and pulling the flow velocity in the direction of the more favorable image. Unlike existing methods that treat each sampling step as a separate policy action, we consider the entire sampling process as a single action. We experiment with both high-quality vision language models and off-the-shelf quality metrics for rewards, and evaluate the outputs using a broad set of metrics. Our method converges faster and yields higher output quality and prompt alignment than previous approaches.

Without careful design, GCNs can fail miserably even with multiple layers and nonlinear activation functions.

In CBF-based control, the desired safety properties of the system are mapped to nonnegativity of a CBF, and the control input is chosen to ensure that the CBF remains nonnegative for all time.

However, given the ever-expanding corpus of unseen documents and the large parameter space of modern LLMs, efficient adaptation is essential. To address these challenges, we propose Memory of Amortized Contexts (MAC), an efficient and effective online adaptation framework for LLMs with strong knowledge retention.
