Google has open sourced A2UI, an Agent to User Interface specification and set of libraries that lets agents describe rich native interfaces in a declarative JSON format while client applications render them with their own components. The project targets a clear problem, how to let remote agents present secure, interactive interfaces across trust boundaries without sending executable code. What is A2UI? A2UI is an open standard and implementation that allows agents to speak UI. An agent does not […]

The European Union Council pushed for a dangerous plan to scan encrypted messages, and once again, people around the world loudly called out the risks, leading to the current Danish presidency to withdraw the plan.  EFF has strongly opposed Chat Control since it was first introduced in 2022. The zombie proposal comes back time and time again, and time and time again, it’s been shot down because there’s no public support. The fight is delayed, but not over. […]

The rapid adoption of complex Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) models has led to their characterization as black boxes due to the difficulty of explaining their internal decision-making processes. This lack of transparency hinders users’ ability to understand, validate and trust model behavior, particularly in high-risk applications. Although explainable AI (XAI) has made significant progress, there remains a need for versatile and effective techniques to address increasingly complex models. This work introduces Multivariate Conditional Expectation (MUCE), […]

arXiv:2601.00252v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Android Permission Model and Application (app) analysis has consistently remained the focus of the investigation of research groups and stakeholders of the Android ecosystem since it was launched in 2008. Even though the Android smartphone operating system (OS) permission model has evolved significantly from `all-or-none access’ to `user-chosen dangerous resource access’, specific challenges and issues remain unresolved even after 15 years after the smartphone OS launch. This study addresses the issues and documents […]

Today I was installing Oh My ZSH and the theme Agnoster and it worked in the the normal terminal but not in Visual Studio Code’s terminal, as it needs a monospaced font and Powerline isn’t one. In this post I’ll explain how to quickly fix it. The problem Problem VS Code defaults the terminal’s font to the editor’s font, and since the Agnoster theme needs Powerline, the terminal outputs non-sense characters.

Large language models (LLMs) often generate fluent but incorrect or unsupported statements, commonly referred to as hallucinations. We propose a hallucination detection framework based on a Labeled Logic Program (LLP) architecture that integrates multiple reasoning paradigms, including logic programming, argumentation, probabilistic inference, and abductive explanation. By enriching symbolic rules with semantic, epistemic, and contextual labels and applying discourse-aware weighting, the system prioritizes nucleus claims over peripheral statements during verification. Experiments on three benchmark datasets and a challenging clinical […]

Mango holds a significant place globally. Considering its importance, it is also called 2 the king of fruits. Accurate price forecasting is essential for market decisions, policy 3 formulation, and agricultural market stability. Traditional time series models struggle 4 to provide effective and accurate forecasts of Mango prices and cannot capture their 5 nonlinear dynamics. The current study integrates machine learning, deep learning, and 6 statistical models to build a robust forecasting model using a dataset from 2001 […]

Classification imbalance arises when one class is much rarer than the other. We frame this setting as transfer learning under label (prior) shift between an imbalanced source distribution induced by the observed data and a balanced target distribution under which performance is evaluated. Within this framework, we study a family of oversampling procedures that augment the training data by generating synthetic samples from an estimated minority-class distribution to roughly balance the classes, among which the celebrated SMOTE algorithm […]

Artificial intelligence is advancing faster than ever before and often reaches impressive heights. The growth of AI-based startups has accelerated 14 times since 2020. AI has really penetrated any and every corner of our lives: from content creation to fintech to healthcare. However, the problem with AI is that it often doesn’t exactly do what we request of it. It often represents a black box that interprets our queries in its own way. And sometimes it can be […]

It’s nearly the end of 2025, and half of the US and the UK now require you to upload your ID or scan your face to watch “sexual content.” A handful of states and Australia now have various requirements to verify your age before you can create a social media account. Age-verification laws may sound straightforward to some: protect young people online by making everyone prove their age. But in reality, these mandates force users into one of […]
