15+ min ago (669+ words) Researchers have created a new benchmark and evaluation system, utilising artificial intelligence to assess how accurately software extracts mathematical formulas from scientific documents, revealing substantial differences in performance between available tools and providing a reliable method for future improvements. https://quantumzeitgeist.com/wp-content/uploads/Capture-568.jpg Extracting mathematical formulas accurately from scientific PDFs presents a significant challenge for accessing and utilising knowledge within academic literature, and Pius Horn from Offenburg University, along with Janis Keuper from the University of Mannheim, and their colleagues, have addressed this problem with a new benchmarking framework. Their work introduces a systematic method for evaluating the performance of document parsers, using synthetically generated PDFs with known mathematical content, and importantly, a novel approach employing large language models to assess the semantic correctness of extracted formulas. This research demonstrates that this LLM-based evaluation aligns closely with human judgement, offering a substantial improvement…...

28+ min ago (190+ words) I run a community theatre, and we can't afford real theatre lights. We've been very successful using smart bulbs, because we had someone involved who was able to program a system (...possible linux based? unsure) in which they could upload the script, and then add clickable cues that would play programmed sounds or change to programmed light cues. Looking for some other options or ideas!We're having some difficulties with said programmer, and are looking at other options. I'm not super well versed in coding, but I'm pretty computer savvy. We're looking for something to allow us to program scenes with at least 50 smart bulbs (looks like many of the "home" based tools tap out around 10), and for bonus points, to program in sounds. (I did just find QLC+, which I'm looking into, but it doesn't appear to be easily…...
