On Convergence of Polynomial Approximations to the Gaussian Mixture Entropy

Neural Information Processing Systems

Gaussian mixture models (GMMs) are fundamental to machine learning due to their flexibility as approximating densities. However, uncertainty quantification of GMMs remains a challenge as differential entropy lacks a closed form.


AI Agents Are Taking America by Storm

The Atlantic - Technology

The post-chatbot era has begun. Americans are living in parallel AI universes. For much of the country, AI has come to mean ChatGPT, Google's AI overviews, and the slop that now clogs social-media feeds. Meanwhile, tech hobbyists are becoming radicalized by bots that can work for hours on end, collapsing months of work into weeks, or weeks into an afternoon. Recently, more people have started to play around with tools such as Claude Code .


The Best Noise-Canceling Headphones for Traveling Are 50 Off

WIRED

With excellent noise canceling, the QuietComfort Ultra 2 would love to join you on your next long-haul flight. Our favorite pair of wireless headphones for traveling are currently marked down by $50. You can pick up the Bose QuietComfort Ultra 2 from Amazon for just $399 in both Black and Driftwood Sand, with the other colors remaining at their full price.

Our reviewer Ryan Waniata was extremely impressed with the Bose, despite only minor upgrades, and considers them among the top three headsets when it comes to ANC, rivaled only by Sony's WH-1000XM6 and Bose's first-generation QuietComfort Ultra .






SANFlow: Semantic-Aware Normalizing Flow for Anomaly Detection and Localization

Neural Information Processing Systems

However, previous NF-based methods forcibly transform the distribution of all features into a single distribution (e.g., unit normal distribution), even when the features can have locally distinct semantic information and thus follow different
