Maryna Viazovska's proofs of sphere packing formalized with AI
The proofs that earned EPFL professor Maryna Viazovska the Fields Medal in 2022 have reached a new milestone: their complete formalization by computer, achieved through a collaboration between mathematicians and artificial intelligence tools. In 2016, Maryna Viazovska solved the sphere packing problem in dimension 8, proving that the E lattice constitutes the densest possible arrangement. Shortly after, together with collaborators, she established an analogous result in dimension 24 using the Leech lattice. Her method provided an elegant solution to a problem studied for centuries, with close ties to applied fields such as error-correcting codes. For this major contribution, Viazovska was awarded the Fields Medal in 2022, the highest distinction in mathematics.
Why playing is no laughing matter for otters

From behind a stand of frozen lupine, Patches, Crest, and Slash emerge onto the wetland. Moonshine reflects off the newly fallen snow, illuminating the predawn hour with a supernatural brightness. They halt beside a corrugated metal culvert, side by side, until Patches lurches forward and leaps onto the bank of Admirals Lake. Her landing fractures the frozen lakeshore, stamping an otter-sized divot. The two girls follow behind her, each landing with a loud crunch, leaving star-shaped bull's-eyes in the ice. The otters are out early, exploiting the cold; an icy lake makes for sluggish fish.
I brought my husband back for his funeral as a hologram
When Pam Cronrath's husband Bill died last year, after nearly 60 years of marriage, she knew what she wanted to do, but not exactly how. I promised him a super wake, she told the BBC. What she didn't expect was that keeping the promise would lead her into the world of holograms, technology more commonly associated with celebrities than memorial services in rural America. A self-confessed tech enthusiast, she says her outlook was shaped by a career that stretched back to the early days of the internet. Several years ago, while speaking at a medical conference, she watched a doctor appear as a full-body hologram broadcast live across the United States.
Appendix of Learning to Break the Loop Analyzing and Mitigating Repetitions for Neural Text Generation
Previous work [2, 1] has observed that standard training and greedy decoding usually cause models to generate consecutive repetitive texts. These consecutive repetitive texts are redundant and do not convey new information, which is avoided in human language. There are three types of consecutive repetitions: word-level, phrase-level and sentence-level. The phrase-level means that a phrase consisting of several words is repeated consecutively. The sentence in our paper refers to a sequence split by '.!?' is repeated consecutively 2. We calculate the ratio of consecutive repetition in a sequence x as follows.
Interview with Deepika Vemuri: interpretability and concept-based learning
The latest interview in our series with the AAAI/SIGAI Doctoral Consortium participants features Deepika Vemuri who is working on interpretability and concept-based learning. We found out more about the two aspects of concept-based models that she's been researching. Could you tell us a bit about your PhD - where are you studying, and what is the topic of your research? I'm a PhD student from IIT Hyderabad working with Dr Vineeth N Balasubramanian, supported by the PMRF Fellowship. Most current state-of-the-art models are black boxes, which is especially problematic when these models are used in high-stakes applications like criminal justice and healthcare, where people's lives depend on the decisions of these models.

New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel and former reporter for The Athletic Dianna Russini were caught kissing at a New York City bar in photos taken six years before they were spotted at an Arizona resort. In pictures exclusively obtained by the New York Post, Vrabel and Russini were spotted together inside a bar in the early hours of March 11, 2020. They were kissing and they were all over each other, an eyewitness told the New York Post. New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel stands on the sidelines during the first half of an NFL wild-card playoff game against the Los Angeles Chargers in Foxborough, Mass., on Jan. 11, 2026.
