Too Little, Too Weak? Paid Parental Leaves in Philippine Collective Bargaining Agreements
ABSTRACT When statutory work–family entitlements are deemed insufficient, workers often rely on collective bargaining to secure better terms. However, the extent to which unions can deliver higher than statutory benefits remains underexplored, especially in developing countries with decentralized bargaining systems and low union salience.

Class Angular Distortion Index for Dimensionality Reduction
Abstract Dimensionality reduction (DR) techniques are often characterized by whether they preserve global, high‐level structures in the data or local, neighborhood structures. This distinction matters in visualization: global methods can obscure clusters while local methods can over‐emphasize them.

Single Line Drawing Generation via Semantics‐Driven Optimization
We present a method for automatically generating single‐line drawings in vector format, guided by a text prompt or an input image. Our approach leverages score distillation sampling to optimize the parameters of a uniform rational B‐spline (URBS) curve, ensuring that the drawing consists of a single continuous stroke by design.

On the Generalization of Handwritten Text Recognition Models
Recent advances in Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR) have led to significant reductions in transcription errors on standard benchmarks under the i.i.d. assumption, thus focusing on minimizing in-distribution (ID) errors. However, this assumption does not hold in real-world applications, which has motivated HTR research to explore Transfer Learning and
