The super-rare creation of three quantum particles of the forces (W bosons, Z bosons, photons) simultaneously allows a direct test of quantum interactions between the carriers of forces. This #CMSpaper measures this for the first time in the LHC Run 3 dataset (for WWZ production) and sets limits (uncertainties: 30-ish percent, using all data we have up to now) on what interactions are observed between these particles https://arxiv.org/abs/2505.20483

Question for the digital humanities people:
Is there any good #OpenSource graphical tool for natural language processing that is both easy to use and performs a reasonable number of analyses?
I am looking for something that the average lawyer or student with a couple of weeks training could operate.
Thanks!
What happened in #Romania? Here's a great (I think) explainer.

Warum ist mir eigentlich die Ähnlichkeit von "Maceath" und "Macbeth" erst gerade eben aufgefallen?
Calkit now has its own pipeline syntax that forces you to define an environment for every stage, but manages those environments for you automatically. No more pip installs, Docker builds, etc. Your project will just be reproducible with a single command.

Sit down, concentrate on nothing, don't think, hear but don't listen, see but don't notice, and after a while it feels like the world dissolves into you.
Do the opposite, sit down and notice everything, look at everything around you, listen to every sound, all at the same time, and the effect will be the same.
Isn't that strange.
I'm one who thinks that #AI is far from ready to do #PeerReview. But I follow the discussion and often see suggestions that AI can do some of the auxiliary jobs, like recommending humans to do peer review.
Here's a new study on the "recommending humans" job.

Six tested #LLMs "consistently favor[ed] senior scholars. Representation biases persist, replicating gender imbalances (reflecting male predominance), under-representing Asian scientists, and over-representing White scholars. Despite some diversity in institutional and collaboration networks, models favor highly cited and productive scholars, reinforcing the rich-get-richer effect while offering limited geographical representation."

I've gathered you all here to learn baseball
Or physics or whatever it doesn't matter, actually
Throwing a baseball is using your body as a whip
And physics techniques get lost in the math
But the issue isn't learning how to improve
The issue is finding an environment
Conducive to improvement

"My job was to preserve and provide access to the records of the Human Genome Project [#HGP]...All of that work, like so much else at #NIH, is currently being dismantled...The digital archival records my colleagues and I maintained are currently inaccessible. I worry that they might be gone altogether, either now or sometime in the future."

The Environment Protection Agency (#EPA) thinks #ClimateChange is not a problem. But it uses #AI that keeps saying it's dangerous.
