Anker's 9-port charging station is now $34 and kills desk cable clutter Anker's 9-in-1 Desktop Charger with 3 AC outlets, 4 USB-C, 2 USB-A, and 100W fast charging is down to $34 at Amazon. Desks can get cluttered really fast when you have to charge half a dozen gadgets at the same time. Anker's 9-in-1 Desktop Charger is now just $34 at Amazon and an easy recommendation at that price. At 3.15 x 3.15 x 4.02 inches, this charging station is about the size of a coffee mug--not exactly, but small enough that it won't get in your way.

Japan Airlines says it will trial humanoid robots as workers at Tokyo's Haneda Airport, with tasks including baggage handling and cabin cleaning.

Figure 4: Impact of the proportion of injected noise for learning Paragraph Embeddings on XSum dataset. PPLint and the PPL of the generation obtained from training PLANNER on the corresponding z at different noise level. We observed when the value of p is within (0, 0.7), there Performing a grid search on each task using diffusion models is an expensive process. However, it has been observed that an increase in the value of p leads to a deviation between the two. This could be attributed to a higher conversion error that occurs when p is excessively large. A.2 Selection of number of latent code k The parameter k determines the number of latent codes used to represent a paragraph and therefore controls the compression level. Latent codes with smaller values of k are easier to model using the diffusion model, but may struggle to accurately preserve all the information in the original text. Additionally, smaller values of k offer computational efficiency as the sequence length for the diffusion model is k. To determine the best set of latent codes, we conducted experiments using three different methods: 1) selecting the first k hidden vectors, 2) selecting the last k hidden vectors, and 3) selecting interleaving hidden vectors, one for every L k hidden vectors. The results of the ablation study are presented in Table 5. Based on our findings, we observed no significant difference among the different choices, so we opted for option 1). Furthermore, we discovered that increasing the value of k does not lead to a dramatic improvement in performance. To balance between efficiency and performance, in most of our study we only use k =16 Setup BLEU_clean BLEU_robust First k (k=16) 79.59 43.17 A.3 Reconstruction, denoising and interpolation examples In Table 6, we present examples that demonstrate the adeptness of the trained Variational Paragraph Embedder in providing clean and denoised reconstructions. Additionally, we showcase interpolation results (Table 7, 8) derived from two random sentences in the hotel review dataset. The interpolated paragraph is usually coherent and incorporates inputs from both sentences, characterizing the distributional smoothness of the latent space.

Most work on sequential learning assumes a fixed set of actions that are available all the time. However, in practice, actions can consist of picking subsets of readings from sensors that may break from time to time, road segments that can be blocked or goods that are out of stock. In this paper we study learning algorithms that are able to deal with stochastic availability of such unreliable composite actions. We propose and analyze algorithms based on the Follow-The-Perturbed-Leader prediction method for several learning settings differing in the feedback provided to the learner. Our algorithms rely on a novel loss estimation technique that we call Counting Asleep Times. We deliver regret bounds for our algorithms for the previously studied full information and (semi-)bandit settings, as well as a natural middle point between the two that we call the restricted information setting. A special consequence of our results is a significant improvement of the best known performance guarantees achieved by an efficient algorithm for the sleeping bandit problem with stochastic availability. Finally, we evaluate our algorithms empirically and show their improvement over the known approaches.

Segmentation of curvilinear structures such as vasculature and road networks is challenging due to relatively weak signals and complex geometry/topology.

Large-scale driving datasets such as Waymo Open Dataset and nuScenes substantially accelerate autonomous driving research, especially for perception tasks such as 3D detection and trajectory forecasting. Since the driving logs in these datasets contain HD maps and detailed object annotations that accurately reflect the realworld complexity of traffic behaviors, we can harvest a massive number of complex traffic scenarios and recreate their digital twins in simulation. Compared to the handcrafted scenarios often used in existing simulators, data-driven scenarios collected from the real world can facilitate many research opportunities in machine learning and autonomous driving.
