RoboCup Logistics League: an interview with Alexander Ferrein, Till Hofmann and Wataru Uemura

AIHub

RoboCup is an international scientific initiative with the goal of advancing the state of the art of intelligent robots, AI and automation. The annual RoboCup event took place from 15-21 July in Salvador, Brazil. The Logistics League forms part of the Industrial League and is an application-driven league inspired by the industrial scenario of a smart factory. Ahead of the Brazil meeting, we spoke with three key members of the league to find out more. Alexander Ferrein is a RoboCup Trustee overseeing the Industrial League, and Till Hofmann and Wataru Uemura are Logistics League Executive Committee members.

But a Cambridge scientist now claims that the fundamental basis of our experience may be controlled by a far more primal structure. In a review of over a century of scientific research, neuroscientist Dr Peter Coppola examined stimulation studies, animal experiments, and neurological case reports.



She thought she talking to her favorite celebrity. It cost her everything

His rugged exterior softened by his piercing blue eyes and an almost shy smile disarmed her.


Hierarchical Federated Learning for Social Network with Mobility

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Federated Learning (FL) offers a decentralized solution that allows collaborative local model training and global aggregation, thereby protecting data privacy. In conventional FL frameworks, data privacy is typically preserved under the assumption that local data remains absolutely private, whereas the mobility of clients is frequently neglected in explicit modeling. In this paper, we propose a hierarchical federated learning framework based on the social network with mobility namely HFL-SNM that considers both data sharing among clients and their mobility patterns. Under the constraints of limited resources, we formulate a joint optimization problem of resource allocation and client scheduling, which objective is to minimize the energy consumption of clients during the FL process. In social network, we introduce the concepts of Effective Data Coverage Rate and Redundant Data Coverage Rate. We analyze the impact of effective data and redundant data on the model performance through preliminary experiments. We decouple the optimization problem into multiple sub-problems, analyze them based on preliminary experimental results, and propose Dynamic Optimization in Social Network with Mobility (DO-SNM) algorithm. Experimental results demonstrate that our algorithm achieves superior model performance while significantly reducing energy consumption, compared to traditional baseline algorithms.


Can AI Expand the Human Mind?

Communications of the ACM

Membership in ACM includes a subscription to Communications of the ACM (CACM), the computing industry's most trusted source for staying connected to the world of advanced computing. Can AI Expand the Human Mind? LLMs could represent a new layer of human cognition, which researchers call'System 0.' Giuseppe Riva first started to think about the role that artificial intelligence (AI) can play in human cognition when he and a colleague were trying to find someplace to have dinner in Los Angeles. Both pulled out their phones and started perusing Google Maps for suggestions of nearby restaurants. Riva quickly noticed that the list of possibilities on his phone was very different from what his companion was seeing.


Why One VC Thinks Quantum Is a Bigger Unlock Than AGI

WIRED

Venture capitalist Alexa von Tobel is ready to bet on quantum computing--starting with hardware. Alexa von Tobel is fully aware that her big bet on quantum computing may never pay off. "The risk of being too early is a real risk," she says. She's speaking to me via Zoom from the New York City office of Inspired Capital, the early-stage venture capital firm she runs with former US commerce secretary Penny Pritzker. In addition to personally investing in blue-chip brands like Uber and Airtable, von Tobel has backed a number of AI startups through Inspired Capital, including BrightAI (a platform that monitors critical infrastructure) and PreemptiveAI (a startup building a foundation model to map human physiology and predict health outcomes).

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) revealed their updated tracks for a pair of tropical disturbances brewing in the Atlantic, giving both a high likelihood of turning into named storms within seven days . One of these threatening weather systems, currently dubbed Invest 94L, is expected to form right off the coast of Florida . The other potential storm, called Invest 93L, has been developing in the middle of the Atlantic and forecasters unveiled an initial path that could take it towards the Carolinas by the end of the week.
