arXiv:2603.20164v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Conventional robot social behavior generation has been limited in flexibility and autonomy, relying on predefined motions or human feedback. This study proposes CRISP (Critique-and-Replan for Interactive Social Presence), an autonomous framework where a robot critiques and replans its own actions by leveraging a Vision-Language Model (VLM) as a `human-like social critic.’ CRISP integrates (1) extraction of movable joints and constraints by analyzing the robot’s description file (e.g., MJCF), (2) generation of step-by-step behavior plans based on situational context, (3) generation of low-level joint control code by referencing visual information (joint range-of-motion visualizations), (4) VLM-based evaluation…

Managing PPC accounts is already time-consuming, especially when attention gets pulled toward tasks that don’t meaningfully impact performance. Over time, accounts accumulate extra keywords, inconsistent negatives, and small inefficiencies that make everyday management harder than it needs to be. Fortunately, Google Ads includes several built-in tools that help streamline these tasks. These seven shortcuts can help you manage accounts more efficiently while also surfacing insights faster, so you can spend more time improving performance instead of maintaining clutter. 1. Remove Duplicate Keywords As accounts mature or change management over time, it can be easy to lose track of what keywords…

started using Pandas, I thought I was doing pretty well. I could clean datasets, run groupby, merge tables, and build quick analyses in a Jupyter notebook. Most tutorials made it feel straightforward: load data, transform it, visualize it, and you’re done. And to be fair, my code usually worked. Until it didn’t. At some point, I started running into strange issues that were hard to explain. Numbers didn’t add up the way I expected. A column that looked numeric behaved like text. Sometimes a transformation ran without errors but produced results that were clearly wrong. The frustrating part was that Pandas rarely…

Managing an overflowing inbox can feel like an endless chore. It’s especially challenging on our phones, where both screen space and functionality are limited. The right Android email app can cut your work in half. There’s a better way to tame your inboxA new, smart generation of email apps can help with every inbox task, from drafting a response in a hurry to clearing a backlog of correspondence. Of course, there are hundreds of email apps for Android, and the process of choosing one can be enough to deter you from finding the best app for your inbox management style.So…

Each spring, otherwise reasonable home cooks lose all inhibitions at the first sight of ramps at the farmers market. Their season is brief, their flavor is punchy, and their reputation precedes them. If you know, you know—and if you don’t, you’re about to.What are ramps?Ramps, also called wild leeks or Allium tricoccum, are a type of wild allium (in the same family as chives, garlic, leeks, scallions, and shallots) that grows in eastern North America. They look a bit like scallions, with small white bulbs and stringy roots, but their broad, tender green leaves set them apart. The plant’s name is derived from…

The EU’s top antitrust enforcer signaled a decision on whether Google is violating the Digital Markets Act is imminent, without committing to a timeline. What she said. “It will come,” Competition Commissioner Teresa Ribera told Dow Jones Newswires, adding the cases are complex and the commission is committed to decisions based on evidence and fair procedure. The backdrop. The European Commission launched its probe into Google’s search business in March 2024 under the Digital Markets Act. The commission gave itself a soft 12-month deadline to wrap up — it has already fined Meta and Apple, but Google’s case remains unresolved…

[Submitted on 26 Nov 2025 (v1), last revised 20 Mar 2026 (this version, v5)] View a PDF of the paper titled The Phish, The Spam, and The Valid: Generating Feature-Rich Emails for Benchmarking LLMs, by Rebeka Toth and 2 other authors View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:In this paper, we introduce a metadata-enriched generation framework (PhishFuzzer) that seeds real emails into Large Language Models (LLMs) to produce 23,100 diverse, structurally consistent email variants across controlled entity and length dimensions. Unlike prior corpora, our dataset features strict three-class labels (Phishing, Spam, Valid), provides full URL and attachment metadata, and annotates each email…

It’s been an eventful start to the year for AI search, and AI is moving quickly, but there’s a lot of hype and panic. When really search is just doing what it has for the last 30 years, it’s constantly self-updating. At Search Engine Journal, as most other publishers have, we’ve experienced considerable drops from Google organic traffic. The last few years have been a challenging time for a business model that publishes information and news. Although this has come to a climax over the last few months, we identified changes and vulnerabilities several years ago and have taken action…

shipped a readmission-prediction model in early 2024. This is a composite case drawn from patterns documented by Hernán & Robins in Nature Machine Intelligence, but every detail maps to real deployment failures.  Accuracy on the held-out test set: 94%. The operations team used it to decide which patients to prioritize for follow-up calls. They expected readmission rates to drop. Rates went up. The model had captured every correlation in the data: older patients, certain zip codes, specific discharge diagnoses. It performed exactly as designed. The test metrics were clean. The confusion matrix looked textbook. But when the team acted on those predictions…
