Russian attacks kill 5 in Ukraine as Zelenskyy hails talks with US envoys

Al Jazeera

A pregnant woman and two others were killed in Russian strikes on Ukraine's northeastern Kharkiv region, while two people were killed in Donetsk, Ukrainian officials have said. The overnight missile attacks on the town of Chuhuiv also injured six people and caused damage to residential buildings and shops, the regional prosecutor's office said on Tuesday. Photos shared online by officials show a burning building and burnt-out cars. Two people were killed in Bilozerske and Druzhkivka on Monday, Vadym Filashkin, head of the Donetsk state administration, said on Facebook, with 11 others injured in Sloviansk and Shabelkivka. The strikes come after Ukraine intensified its long-range drone strikes on Russian oil facilities, prompting fuel shortages, while Russia conducted large air attacks on the country.

'Birdwatching saved me from my gaming addiction'

BBC News

'Birdwatching saved me from my gaming addiction' When things were at their worst Edward Bartlett was playing computer games twenty hours a day, sometimes only pausing to eat and sleep. I was addicted to video games, the 28-year-old said. I lived with friends, but for two years I never really saw them in real life. We talked through a gaming microphone. Now the University of Sheffield zoology student has swapped his gaming headset for a pair of binoculars as he's embraced a new passion - birdwatching.


A Framework for Evaluating and Benchmarking Concept Drift Detection Methods

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Data stream mining is fundamentally challenged by concept drift, where distributional changes can degrade model performance. Despite the proliferation of drift detection methods, progress in the field is hindered by inconsistent evaluation practices: studies rely on oversimplified synthetic data generators, adopt incompatible metrics, and lack transparency in hyperparameter selection, making fair comparisons difficult. We address this gap with a novel benchmarking framework comprising three contributions: (1) a drift simulation method that injects controlled distributional changes into real-world datasets via Monte Carlo trials, enabling supervised evaluation while preserving real-world data complexity; (2) an evaluation protocol for drift detection with timing-aware criteria, including the derivation of new metrics (e.g., F1 detection score, normalized detection time) that are comparable across streams; and (3) we advocate for a leave-one-dataset-out hyperparameter optimization protocol for drift detection methods that promotes configuration robustness across heterogeneous stream dynamics. We benchmark 14 widely used drift detection methods on 7 realworld datasets across 4 drift types (class prior, label swap, feature permutation, feature filtering), each under both abrupt and gradual transitions. Our experimental results provide insights into the strengths and weaknesses of current drift detection approaches while establishing baseline performance metrics for future research in this area. All code and experiments are publicly available.


Identifiability and Estimation for Unlabeled Finite Mixtures under Marginal Independence

arXiv.org Machine Learning

We study component recovery and mixing-matrix estimation from unlabeled finite mixtures whose observable distributions share the same latent components but have unknown mixing weights. The main identifying signal is marginal independence: each component is assumed to be independent on at least one coordinate pair, but no labels, clean component samples, or mixing weights are observed. We first prove a structural result for product components: under linear independence of the univariate marginals, any independent affine combination of the components must coincide with a single component. We then extend this principle to observable mixtures and show that, under full-rank and no-cancellation conditions, marginally independent affine combinations recover the corresponding latent components. When every component is independent on some coordinate pair, all components are identifiable, and the mixing matrix is recoverable under the stated completion conditions. Finally, we propose a Product-Marginal Maximum Mean Discrepancy (PM-MMD) estimator over affine combinations of the observable mixtures and prove uniform convergence and stability under approximate marginal independence. This framework also separates the empirical roles of the assumptions: irreducibility is, in general, not directly testable from the unlabeled mixtures alone, whereas marginal independence yields a candidate-level diagnostic through held-out PM-MMD. Controlled and flow-cytometry experiments show when marginal independence provides a useful recovery signal. In the reported multi-component comparisons, condition-aware representative selection stabilizes PM-MMD and improves recovery relative to clustering, factorization, and pairwise mixture-proportion baselines using the same unlabeled mixtures.
