'We had to get out of the way': The backlash over delivery robots

BBC News

'We had to get out of the way': The backlash over delivery robots The first time Chicago resident John Roberts saw a delivery robot trundling down the sidewalk on his street he was impressed. I actually thought they were kind of neat - it felt futuristic, he says. But his attitude started to change when, soon after, he was out for a walk with his family. As another robot approached, they found themselves having to dodge it. To us it felt a little off - the fact that we were on the one strip reserved for walking, and we were having to get out of the way, says Roberts.


AbsenceBench: Language Models Can't Tell What's Missing Harvey Yiyun Fu,1, Aryan Shrivastava1, Jared Moore2 Peter West2, Chenhao Tan1, Ari Holtzman1 1University of Chicago 2Stanford University

Neural Information Processing Systems

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly capable of processing long inputs and locating specific information within them, as evidenced by their performance on the Needle in a Haystack (NIAH) test. However, while models excel at recalling surprising information, they still struggle to identify clearly omitted information. We introduce AbsenceBench to assesses LLMs' capacity to detect missing information across three domains: numerical sequences, poetry, and GitHub pull requests. AbsenceBenchasks models to identify which pieces of a document were deliberately removed, given access to both the original and edited contexts. Despite the apparent straightforwardness of these tasks, our experiments reveal that even state-of-the-art models like Claude-3.7-Sonnet


Basketball-playing robot built by sixth-formers wins tech competition

BBC News

Meet the UK's very own LeBron James... but not as you know it Look out LeBron James and Michael Jordan, there's a new basketball champ around. But it was made in Lisburn rather than Los Angeles or Chicago. The name 25416 may not appear on many replica vests, but it can shoot hoops like no-one else. And the basketball-playing robot won a school in Lisburn first prize at the UK-wide First Tech Challenge robotics competition. The team of sixth-formers from Friends' School came top of 48 schools from across the UK at the competition held in London's Copper Box Arena. Going down and working on it with my friends is honestly one of the highlights of my last year in school, he said.


Contradiction Graphs Determine VC Dimension

arXiv.org Machine Learning

The Vapnik-Chervonenkis dimension is the fundamental combinatorial parameter of distribution-free binary classification. Introduced by Vapnik and Chervonenkis in their work on uniform convergence [VC71], and closely connected to the Sauer-Shelah lemma [Sau72, She72], it characterizes classical PAC learnability [Val84, BEHW89, EHKV89]. In particular, finite VC dimension is equivalent to distribution-free learnability. This paper asks whether that finite-versus-infinite VC dichotomy is still visible after replacing a concept class by its contradiction graphs. For a binary class H {0,1}X, the order-m contradiction graph Gm(H) has as vertices the H-realizable labeled samples of length m, with an edge between two samples if they assign opposite labels to some common domain point. Throughout, samples are ordered sequences, and repetitions of domain points are allowed, subject to consistent labeling. We use the contradiction-graph framework introduced by Alon et al. in their graph-theoretic characterization of private learnability [AMSY24]. They ask whether two binary classes can have isomorphic contradiction graphs at every level while one has finite VC dimension and the other has infinite VC dimension.


Pope Leo to issue text on human dignity and AI with Anthropic co-founder

The Guardian

The pope's encyclical will address'the protection of the human person in the age of AI', the Vatican says In the first major text of his papacy, Pope Leo will address the rapid rise of artificial intelligence . The Chicago-born pontiff will present the document, known as an encyclical, at the Vatican next week during an event attended by Christopher Olah, the co-founder of Anthropic - a US-based AI firm that has clashed with Donald Trump's administration. The encyclical will address "the protection of the human person in the age of artificial intelligence", the Vatican said on Monday. In a break from tradition, Leo, who was elected pontiff in May last year, will launch the document during a public presentation on 25 May. He will be joined by lay speaker Olah of Anthropic, which is in the middle of a high-profile lawsuit with the Trump administration over the ethics of AI, as well as theologians Anna Rowlands and Léocadie Lushombo.

It's incredible, and also a bit depressing, that the following statement is factually accurate: Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Matthew Boyd will miss a considerable amount of time for being a good father. The 35-year-old sustained a left meniscus injury while reportedly sitting down to play with his kids. Prior to Chicago's contest against the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday, Cubs manager Craig Counsell revealed that the knee injury would require surgery. It's kind of unexplainable, Counsell very fairly said.
