Red Alarm for Pre-trained Models: Universal Vulnerability to Neuron-level Backdoor Attacks by Zhang, Zhengyan, Xiao, Guangxuan, Li, Yongwei, Lv, Tian, Qi, Fanchao, Liu, Zhiyuan, Wang, Yasheng, Jiang, Xin, Sun, Maosong

“…The pre-training-then-fine-tuning paradigm has been widely used in deep learning. Due to the huge computation cost for pre-training, practitioners usually download pre-trained models from the Internet and fine-tune them on downstream datasets, while the downloaded models may suffer backdoor attacks. …”

Burning structures and propagation mechanisms of nanothermites by Kim, Suyong, Johns, Averitt A, Wen, John Z, Deng, Sili

“…In this work, a high-speed microscopy imaging system was used to reveal the burning structure of Al/CuO nanothermites and to investigate the propagation mechanism of its flame front at micron and sub-millimeter scales which have not been studied. An Al/CuO nanothermite film was fabricated as a model structure. …”

Learning design for short-duration e-textile workshops: outcomes on knowledge and skills by Ioannou, Andri, Miliou, Ourania, Georgiou, Yiannis, Timotheou, Stella, Barkhuus, Louise, Rode, Jennifer

“…Despite the promising findings by primarily long-term interventions structured around e-textiles, educational curriculum reform has been slow to materialize. Educators who embrace a STEAM philosophy are more likely to endorse short workshops, integrating them in existing courses or initiatives; this could serve as a steppingstone for longer interventions and bottom-up curriculum reform. …”
