In this paper, we propose an efficient search method of augmentation policies, called Fast AutoAugment,motivatedbyBayesianDA[36].

In contrast to previous methods, we propose a new search strategy that does not require any repeated training of child models.

The FAA is set to loosen rules to let people fly drones beyond their "line of sight. On Thursday, I published a story about the police-tech giant Flock Safety selling its drones to the private sector to track shoplifters. Keith Kauffman, a former police chief who now leads Flock's drone efforts, described the ideal scenario: A security team at a Home Depot, say, launches a drone from the roof that follows shoplifting suspects to their car. The drone tracks their car through the streets, transmitting its live video feed directly to the police. It's a vision that, unsurprisingly, alarms civil liberties advocates. They say it will expand the surveillance state created by police drones, license-plate readers, and other crime tech, which has allowed law enforcement to collect massive amounts of private data without warrants.

Retired Charlottesville Fire Chief Charles Werner joins'Fox & Friends First' to discuss drones being used as first responders as Energy Sec. Sean Duffy highlights U.S. drone dominance. Delivery drones could soon take to the skies in full force, following a landmark proposed rule by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The long-anticipated rule is aimed at allowing drones to operate beyond the visual line of sight (BVLOS) -- a move designed to counter China's dominance in unmanned aviation. Currently, operators must obtain individual FAA waivers -- only 657 issued so far -- to fly drones beyond where they can physically see them, hampered by months of delay and bureaucratic setbacks. "Because of that complication, I don't think we saw the innovation that we should have in America," said Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy on Tuesday.

EEG emotion recognition faces significant hurdles due to noise interference, signal nonstationarity, and the inherent complexity of brain activity which make accurately emotion classification. In this study, we present the Fourier Adjacency Transformer, a novel framework that seamlessly integrates Fourier-based periodic analysis with graph-driven structural modeling. Our method first leverages novel Fourier-inspired modules to extract periodic features from embedded EEG signals, effectively decoupling them from aperiodic components. Subsequently, we employ an adjacency attention scheme to reinforce universal inter-channel correlation patterns, coupling these patterns with their sample-based counterparts. Empirical evaluations on SEED and DEAP datasets demonstrate that our method surpasses existing state-of-the-art techniques, achieving an improvement of approximately 6.5% in recognition accuracy. By unifying periodicity and structural insights, this framework offers a promising direction for future research in EEG emotion analysis.

President Donald Trump has revealed the mysterious drones over New Jersey were'not the enemy' and had been authorized to conduct'research'. In the first press briefing of Trump's second administration, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) had been authorized to fly the drones for'research and various other reasons'. Leavitt said many of the drones were also'hobbyists, recreational and private individuals that enjoy flying drones' and claims that'in time, it got worse due to curiosity.' She added information had come'directly from the president of the United States that was just shared with me in the Oval Office'. But the White House's vague explanation has raised even more questions, especially after the FAA - which investigated the sightings after receiving reports from'concerned citizens' - failed to previously mention the alleged research.

This week DJI, the world's leading drone manufacturer, announced a new policy removing enforcement of its "No Fly Zone" geofences in restricted areas. The sudden shift may lead to more drones hovering where they shouldn't, which could worsen a lingering national panic over flying objects in the sky. DJI, the China-based drone giant, says it will no longer enforce geofence barriers that prevent its products from flying over restricted areas like airports, wildfires, and government buildings. Though the company says these changes are intended to empower its users, they come amid a surge in drone sightings, some around critical infrastructure, that have stoked fears and fueled a growing tide of conspiracy theories. DJI's changes mean operators will have one less guardrail preventing them from flying into risky areas.

DJI has lifted its geofence that prevents users in the US from flying over restricted areas like nuclear power plants, airports and wildfires, the company wrote in a blog post on Monday. As of January 13th, areas previously called "restricted zones" or no-fly zones will be shown as "enhanced warning zones" that correspond to designated Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) areas. DJI's Fly app will display a warning about those areas but will no longer stop users from flying inside them, the company said. In the article, DJI wrote that the "in-app alerts will notify operators flying near FAA designated controlled airspace, placing control back in the hands of the drone operators, in line with regulatory principles of the operator bearing final responsibility." It added that technologies like Remote ID [introduced after DJI implemented geofencing] gives authorities "the tools needed to enforce existing rules," DJI's global policy chief Adam Welsh told The Verge.

A drone collided with a firefighting aircraft flying over the Palisades fire on Thursday, the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement. The aircraft landed safely and the incident will be investigated, an FAA official said. "It's a federal crime, punishable by up to 12 months in prison, to interfere with firefighting efforts on public lands," the statement said. "Additionally, the FAA can impose a civil penalty of up to 75,000 against any drone pilot who interferes with wildfire suppression, law enforcement or emergency response operations" during a temporary flight restriction. "We hit a drone this afternoon -- first one," said L.A. County Fire Chief Anthony Marrone.
