In the modern web era, passwords are no longer sufficient. They are the root cause of over 80% of data breaches, subject to phishing, reuse, and terrible complexity rules. The industry has spoken: Passkeys are the future. Passkeys, built on the Web Authentication (WebAuthn) and FIDO2 standards, replace traditional passwords with cryptographic key pairs. Your device (iPhone, Android, Windows Hello, YubiKey) stores a private key, while the server only ever sees the public key. No hashes to steal, no passwords to […]

arXiv:2602.11211v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The rapid evolution of cyber threats has highlighted significant gaps in security knowledge integration. Cybersecurity Knowledge Graphs (CKGs) relying on structured data inherently exhibit hysteresis, as the timely incorporation of rapidly evolving unstructured data remains limited, potentially leading to the omission of critical insights for risk analysis. To address these limitations, we introduce TRACE, a framework designed to integrate structured and unstructured cybersecurity data sources. TRACE integrates knowledge from 24 structured databases and […]

We propose TerraFlow, a novel approach to multimodal, multitemporal learning for Earth observation. TerraFlow builds on temporal training objectives that enable sequence-aware learning across space, time, and modality, while remaining robust to the variable-length inputs commonly encountered in real-world Earth observation data. Our experiments demonstrate superiority of TerraFlow over state-of-the-art foundation models for Earth observation across all temporal tasks of the GEO-Bench-2 benchmark. We additionally demonstrate that TerraFlow is able to make initial steps towards deep-learning based risk […]

Ive been trying to train a quadruped bot using reinforcement learning, mostly tryna teach it to trot and stabilize by itself. Ive tried different policies like PPO, RecurrentPPO and SAC but the results have been disappointing. Im mainly having trouble creating a proper reward function which focuses on stability and trotting. Im fairly new to RL so im looking for some feedback here. submitted by /u/iz_bleep [link] [comments]

This paper proposes Proximal Policy Optimization with Linear Temporal Logic Constraints (PPO-LTL), a framework that integrates safety constraints written in LTL into PPO for safe reinforcement learning. LTL constraints offer rigorous representations of complex safety requirements, such as regulations that broadly exist in robotics, enabling systematic monitoring of safety requirements. Violations against LTL constraints are monitored by limit-deterministic Büchi automata, and then translated by a logic-to-cost mechanism into penalty signals. The signals are further employed for guiding the […]

arXiv:2602.12449v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Learning Gibbs distributions using only sufficient statistics has long been recognized as a computationally hard problem. On the other hand, computationally efficient algorithms for learning Gibbs distributions rely on access to full sample configurations generated from the model. For many systems of interest that arise in physical contexts, expecting a full sample to be observed is not practical, and hence it is important to look for computationally efficient methods that solve the learning […]

Distributional reinforcement learning (RL) is a powerful framework increasingly adopted in safety-critical domains for its ability to optimize risk-sensitive objectives. However, the role of the discount factor is often overlooked, as it is typically treated as a fixed parameter of the Markov decision process or tunable hyperparameter, with little consideration of its effect on the learned policy. In the literature, it is well-known that the discounting function plays a major role in characterizing time preferences of an agent, […]

arXiv:2601.08043v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Data quality plays a central role in the performance and robustness of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for image classification. While high-quality data is often preferred for training, real-world inputs are frequently affected by noise and other distortions. This paper investigates the effect of deliberately introducing controlled noise into the training data to improve model robustness. Using the CIFAR-10 dataset, we evaluate the impact of three common corruptions, namely Gaussian noise, Salt-and-Pepper noise, and […]
