We study symmetric spiked matrix models with respect to a general class of noise distributions. Given a rank-1 deformation of a random noise matrix, whose entries are independently distributed with zero mean and unit variance, the goal is to estimate the rank-1 part. For the case of Gaussian noise, the top eigenvector of the given matrix is a widely-studied estimator known to achieve optimal statistical guarantees, e.g., in the sense of the celebrated BBP phase transition. However, this estimator can fail completely for heavy-tailed noise. In this work, we exhibit an estimator that works for heavy-tailed noise up to the BBP threshold that is optimal even for Gaussian noise. We give a non-asymptotic analysis of our estimator which relies only on the variance of each entry remaining constant as the size of the matrix grows: higher moments may grow arbitrarily fast or even fail to exist. Previously, it was only known how to achieve these guarantees if higher-order moments of the noises are bounded by a constant independent of the size of the matrix. Our estimator can be evaluated in polynomial time by counting self-avoiding walks via a color -coding technique. Moreover, we extend our estimator to spiked tensor models and establish analogous results.

This week we speak to Christian Kroll, the founder and chief executive of internet search engine Ecosia. Christian Kroll wants nothing less than to change the world. "I want to make the world a greener, better place," he says. "I also want to prove that there is a more ethical alternative to the kind of greedy capitalism that is coming close to destroying the planet." The 35-year-old German is the boss of search engine Ecosia, which has an unusual but very environmentally friendly business model - it gives away most of its profits to enable trees to be planted around the world. Founded by Christian in 2009, Ecosia makes its money in the same way as Google - from advertising revenues.

A substantial amount of time and energy has been invested to develop machine vision using connectionist (neural network) principles. Most of that work has been inspired by theories advanced by neuroscientists and behaviorists for how cortical systems store stimulus information. Those theories call for information flow through connections among several neuron populations, with the initial connections being random (or at least non-functional). Then the strength or location of connections are modified through training trials to achieve an effective output, such as the ability to identify an object. Those theories ignored the fact that animals that have no cortex, e.g., fish, can demonstrate visual skills that outpace the best neural network models. Neural circuits that allow for immediate effective vision and quick learning have been preprogrammed by hundreds of millions of years of evolution and the visual skills are available shortly after hatching. Cortical systems may be providing advanced image processing, but most likely are using design principles that had been proven effective in simpler systems. The present article provides a brief overview of retinal and cortical mechanisms for registering shape information, with the hope that it might contribute to the design of shape-encoding circuits that more closely match the mechanisms of biological vision.

Global spending on artificial intelligence technologies will double to $110 billion by 2024 as AI use grows to bolster the competitiveness and digital transformations of more businesses and other organizations. That's the conclusion of a new IDC Worldwide Artificial Intelligence Guide, which examines AI use, trends and markets over the next four years. AI spending in 2020 is estimated at $50.1 billion, but that figure will more than double as new AI use cases and technology improvements continue, according to the guide. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the 2019-2024 period will be 20.1%. The biggest AI business drivers include delivering improved customer experiences and helping employees get better at their jobs, according to the guide.

We propose a novel simulation model that is able to predict the per-level churn and pass rates of Angry Birds Dream Blast, a popular mobile free-to-play game. Our primary contribution is to combine AI gameplay using Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) with a simulation of how the player population evolves over the levels. The AI players predict level difficulty, which is used to drive a player population model with simulated skill, persistence, and boredom. This allows us to model, e.g., how less persistent and skilled players are more sensitive to high difficulty, and how such players churn early, which makes the player population and the relation between difficulty and churn evolve level by level. Our work demonstrates that player behavior predictions produced by DRL gameplay can be significantly improved by even a very simple population-level simulation of individual player differences, without requiring costly retraining of agents or collecting new DRL gameplay data for each simulated player.

Neuralink's mission statement includes the words: "If you can't beat them, join them". Neuralink has been operational since 2016 when Elon Musk founded the company along with a group of neuroscientists. The team ranges in expertise from brain-machine interfaces to electrical engineering and overcoming obstacles associated with wearable devices. Elon Musk said on Twitter earlier this week that Neuralink would be hosting a live webcast to demonstrate a working Brain-Machine Interface (BMI) device. Here's what you need to know.

The 1994 action movie Double Dragon, based on the 1987 beat-em-up arcade game, is a surprisingly enjoyable low-budget romp. Science fiction author Zach Chapman says it reminds him of old favorites such as Surf Ninjas and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. "It should be a cult classic," Chapman says in Episode 429 of the Geek's Guide to the Galaxy podcast. It seems like people enjoyed making the movie. Geek's Guide to the Galaxy host David Barr Kirtley also enjoyed Double Dragon, particularly the performance from Party of Five star Scott Wolf.

The graph represents a network of 6,145 Twitter users whose tweets in the requested range contained "data visualization", or who were replied to or mentioned in those tweets. The network was obtained from the NodeXL Graph Server on Thursday, 27 August 2020 at 06:39 UTC. The requested start date was Thursday, 27 August 2020 at 00:01 UTC and the maximum number of days (going backward) was 14. The maximum number of tweets collected was 7,500. The tweets in the network were tweeted over the 8-day, 17-hour, 22-minute period from Thursday, 13 August 2020 at 00:10 UTC to Friday, 21 August 2020 at 17:32 UTC.
