Rise of the 'porno-trolls': how one porn platform made millions suing its viewers
Rise of the'porno-trolls': how one porn platform made millions suing its viewers Instead, it was a subpoena. He had been sued in federal court for illegally downloading 80 movies. Some of the titles sounded cryptic - Do Not Worry, We Are Only Friends - or banal, like International Relations Part 2. Others were less subtle: He Loved My Big Ass, He Loved My Big Butt, and My Big Booty Loves Anal. Brown, who had spent decades investigating sex crimes, claimed he had never watched any of them. His years "dealing with pimping", he wrote in a court filing, left him "with no interest in pornography". He had been married for 40 years, he did not need to download Hot Wife, another title in the list.

ADNAC: Audio Denoiser using Neural Audio Codec
Jimon, Daniel, Vaida, Mircea, Stan, Adriana
--Audio denoising is critical in signal processing, enhancing intelligibility and fidelity for applications like restoring musical recordings. This paper presents a proof -of-concept for adapting a state -of -the -art neural audio codec, the Descript Audio Codec (DAC), for music denoising. This work overcomes the limitations of traditional architectures like U - Nets by training the model on a large-scale, custom -synthesized dataset built from diverse sources. Training is guided by a multi-objective loss function that combines time-domain, spectral, and signal -level fidelity metrics. Ultimately, this paper aims to present a PoC for high -fidelity, generative audio restoration. Noise reduction is a fundamental part of audio signal processing, substantially improving signal quality and intelligibility across domains like speech processing [1-3], music production and restoration [1], and bioacoustics analysis [2].
Memory Assisted LLM for Personalized Recommendation System
Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated significant potential in solving recommendation tasks. With proven capabilities in understanding user preferences, LLM personalization has emerged as a critical area for providing tailored responses to individuals. Current studies explore personalization through prompt design and fine-tuning, paving the way for further research in personalized LLMs. However, existing approaches are either costly and inefficient in capturing diverse user preferences or fail to account for timely updates to user history. To address these gaps, we propose the Memory-Assisted Personalized LLM (MAP). Through user interactions, we first create a history profile for each user, capturing their preferences, such as ratings for historical items. During recommendation, we extract relevant memory based on similarity, which is then incorporated into the prompts to enhance personalized recommendations. In our experiments, we define a new task that enables testing with varying memory size under two scenarios: single domain where memory and tasks are from the same category and cross-domain (e.g. memory from movies and recommendation tasks in books). The results show that MAP outperforms regular LLM-based recommenders that integrate user history directly through prompt design. Moreover, as user history grows, MAP's advantage increases in both scenarios, making it more suitable for addressing successive personalized user requests.
Cross-fluctuation phase transitions reveal sampling dynamics in diffusion models
Ramachandran, Sai Niranjan, Lal, Manish Krishan, Sra, Suvrit
We analyse how the sampling dynamics of distributions evolve in score-based diffusion models using cross-fluctuations, a centered-moment statistic from statistical physics. Specifically, we show that starting from an unbiased isotropic normal distribution, samples undergo sharp, discrete transitions, eventually forming distinct events of a desired distribution while progressively revealing finer structure. As this process is reversible, these transitions also occur in reverse, where intermediate states progressively merge, tracing a path back to the initial distribution. We demonstrate that these transitions can be detected as discontinuities in $n^{\text{th}}$-order cross-fluctuations. For variance-preserving SDEs, we derive a closed-form for these cross-fluctuations that is efficiently computable for the reverse trajectory. We find that detecting these transitions directly boosts sampling efficiency, accelerates class-conditional and rare-class generation, and improves two zero-shot tasks--image classification and style transfer--without expensive grid search or retraining. We also show that this viewpoint unifies classical coupling and mixing from finite Markov chains with continuous dynamics while extending to stochastic SDEs and non Markovian samplers. Our framework therefore bridges discrete Markov chain theory, phase analysis, and modern generative modeling.
