Tourists visiting Japan will no longer be allowed to take the Japanese-Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) in the country from 2026, organizations that administer the exam have announced.

The JLPT is the largest scale Japanese-language test in the world. In a time of both misinformation and too much information, quality journalism is more crucial than ever.


Treeffuser: Probabilistic Predictions via Conditional Diffusions with Gradient-Boosted Trees Nicolas Beltran-V elez

Probabilistic prediction aims to compute predictive distributions rather than single point predictions. These distributions enable practitioners to quantify uncertainty, compute risk, and detect outliers. However, most probabilistic methods assume parametric responses, such as Gaussian or Poisson distributions.
