Without maritime transportation, the global economy would cease to exist. Accounting for 80% of worldwide trade, the maritime transportation industry influences the economic sustainability of each and every country as it provides a safer, more viable method of international commerce. Maritime shipping is the more preferred method, but oceanic travel is an area that is greatly congested with a plethora of serious conflicts. Thus, Israel's startup ecosystem is using advanced intelligence to secure the knot with innovative technologies working towards solving the issues associated with maritime transportation. Each startup listed below is hyper-focused on a specific maritime transportation issue– creating a culmination of service towards such a widespread struggle.

Computer algebra can answer various questions about partial differential equations using symbolic algorithms. However, the inclusion of data into equations is rare in computer algebra. Therefore, recently, computer algebra models have been combined with Gaussian processes, a regression model in machine learning, to describe the behavior of certain differential equations under data. While it was possible to describe polynomial boundary conditions in this context, we extend these models to analytic boundary conditions. Additionally, we describe the necessary algorithms for Gröbner and Janet bases of Weyl algebras with certain analytic coefficients. Using these algorithms, we provide examples of divergence-free flow in domains bounded by analytic functions and adapted to observations. Keywords: Gaussian processes boundary conditions Gröbner bases partial differential equations.

The research community is puzzled with words like skill, action, atomic unit and others when describing robots' capabilities. However, for giving the possibility to integrate capabilities in industrial scenarios, a standardization of these descriptions is necessary. This work uses a structured review approach to identify commonalities and differences in the research community of robots' skill frameworks. Through this method, 210 papers were analyzed and three main results were obtained. First, the vast majority of authors agree on a taxonomy based on task, skill and primitive. Second, the most investigated robots' capabilities are pick and place. Third, industrial oriented applications focus more on simple robots' capabilities with fixed parameters while ensuring safety aspects. Therefore, this work emphasizes that a taxonomy based on task, skill and primitives should be used by future works to align with existing literature. Moreover, further research is needed in the industrial domain for parametric robots' capabilities while ensuring safety.

Predicting the output of quantum circuits is a hard computational task that plays a pivotal role in the development of universal quantum computers. Here we investigate the supervised learning of output expectation values of random quantum circuits. Deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are trained to predict single-qubit and two-qubit expectation values using databases of classically simulated circuits. These circuits are represented via an appropriately designed one-hot encoding of the constituent gates. The prediction accuracy for previously unseen circuits is analyzed, also making comparisons with small-scale quantum computers available from the free IBM Quantum program. The CNNs often outperform the quantum devices, depending on the circuit depth, on the network depth, and on the training set size. Notably, our CNNs are designed to be scalable. This allows us exploiting transfer learning and performing extrapolations to circuits larger than those included in the training set. These CNNs also demonstrate remarkable resilience against noise, namely, they remain accurate even when trained on (simulated) expectation values averaged over very few measurements.

In this work, we propose a novel data augmentation method for clinical audio datasets based on a conditional Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Network with Gradient Penalty (cWGAN-GP), operating on log-mel spectrograms. To validate our method, we created a clinical audio dataset which was recorded in a real-world operating room during Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) procedures and contains typical sounds which resemble the different phases of the intervention. We demonstrate the capability of the proposed method to generate realistic class-conditioned samples from the dataset distribution and show that training with the generated augmented samples outperforms classical audio augmentation methods in terms of classification performance. The performance was evaluated using a ResNet-18 classifier which shows a mean Macro F1-score improvement of 1.70% in a 5-fold cross validation experiment using the proposed augmentation method. Because clinical data is often expensive to acquire, the development of realistic and high-quality data augmentation methods is crucial to improve the robustness and generalization capabilities of learning-based algorithms which is especially important for safety-critical medical applications. Therefore, the proposed data augmentation method is an important step towards improving the data bottleneck for clinical audio-based machine learning systems.

Learning representations that capture the underlying data generating process is a key problem for data efficient and robust use of neural networks. One key property for robustness which the learned representation should capture and which recently received a lot of attention is described by the notion of invariance. In this work we provide a causal perspective and new algorithm for learning invariant representations. Empirically we show that this algorithm works well on a diverse set of tasks and in particular we observe state-of-the-art performance on domain generalization, where we are able to significantly boost the score of existing models.

Lightning AI, the startup behind the open source PyTorch Lightning framework, today announced that it raised $40 million in a Series B round led by Coatue with participation from Index Ventures, Bain, the Chainsmokers' Mantis VC and First Minute Capital. CEO William Falcon told TechCrunch that the new money will be used to expand Lightning AI's 60-person team while supporting the community around PyTorch Lightning development. Lightning AI, formerly Grid.ai, is the culmination of work that began in 2018 at the New York University Computational Intelligence, Learning, Vision, and Robotics (NYU CILVR) Lab and Facebook AI Research (now Meta AI Research). After Falcon started developing PyTorch Lightning as an undergrad at Columbia in 2015, he founded Lightning AI in 2019 with Luis Capelo, the former head of data products at Forbes. While working on his PhD at NYU and Facebook AI Research, Falcon open sourced PyTorch Lightning and -- according to him -- the project quickly gained traction.

Climate change is causing more frequent and intense droughts, storm, heat waves, rising sea levels and melting glaciers and to stop this destruction, MIT researchers proposes'Space Bubbles' to shield Earth from the sun's rays to combat the devastation. This geoengineering idea would feature inflatable bubbles, organized in a circular shape the size of Brazil, which would sit between the Earth and the sun, blocking radiation from hitting our planet. 'We believe that inflating thin-film spheres directly in space from a homogeneous molten material–such as silicon can provide the variation in thickness that refracts a broader wave spectrum and allows us to avoid the necessity of launching large structural film elements,' the team share in a press release. Although Space Bubbles could reduce the amount of radiation hitting Earth, those involved with the work stress the innovation is designed to supplement and not replace current efforts to combat climate change. MIT researchers proposes'Space Bubbles' to shield Earth from the sun's rays to combat the devastation According to the team at MIT's Senseable City Lab, bubbles have been tested in outer space conditions that they believe could one day be used to deflect solar radiation.
