Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., speaks to reporters about Macklemore ban and New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft's role in it. Based on the way American attitudes have shifted toward a certain country in the Middle East, Robert Kraft likely lost a lot of fans with a recent decision. But that doesn't mean it was the wrong decision. The Patriots' owner said Monday that Macklemore will be removed from two of Ed Sheeran's shows later this month at Gillette Stadium (which Kraft also owns) for what he deemed hate speech toward the Jewish community.

Ed Sheeran asked me to donate 2m in aid, Robert Kraft says after Macklemore backlash
To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Figure caption, Will Ed Sheeran cancel his tour as support acts quit? The US stadium owner who had pro-Palestinian rapper Macklemore removed as Ed Sheeran's opening act at his venue says Sheeran has asked him to donate $2m to aid in the region. New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft announced the requested pledge in his second statement this week on the controversy, without specifying where exactly the funds would go. Kraft confirmed on Monday he had Macklemore dropped as opening act from Sheeran's forthcoming Loop Tour at the Gillette Stadium near Boston, accusing the rapper of hate speech.

Macklemore is learning the hard way that concertgoers paying top dollar for stadium shows do not want a lecture on Middle Eastern geopolitics from the guy who wrote Thrift Shop. Macklemore was kicked off Ed Sheeran's U.S. stadium tour after multiple venues refused to host him following his pro-Palestinian speeches and performances at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
Developing active and flexible microrobots
Leiden researchers Professor Daniela Kraft and Mengshi Wei have created microscopic robots that move without sensors, software, or external control. Instead, their behaviour emerges entirely from their shape and the way they interact with their environment. This class of robots opens up entirely new possibilities for biomedical applications. Inspiration to build these robots came from nature. Kraft: "Animals like worms and snakes constantly adapt their shape as they move, which helps them to navigate their environments. Macroscopic robots similarly use flexibility for their function. However, until now, microrobots were either small and rigid, or large and flexible. We wondered if we could realize small and flexible microrobots in our lab."
KRAFT: A Knowledge Graph-Based Framework for Automated Map Conflation
Hashemi, Farnoosh, Lakshmanan, Laks V. S.
Digital maps play a crucial role in various applications such as navigation, fleet management, and ride-sharing, necessitating their accuracy and currency, which require timely updates. While the majority of geospatial databases (GDBs) provide high-quality information, their data is (i) limited to specific regions and/or (ii) missing some entities, even in their covered areas. Map conflation is the process of augmentation of a GDB using another GDB to conflate missing spatial features. Existing map conflation methods suffer from two main limitations: (1) They are designed for the conflation of linear objects (e.g., road networks) and cannot simply be extended to non-linear objects, thus missing information about most entities in the map. (2) They are heuristic algorithmic approaches that are based on pre-defined rules, unable to learn entities matching in a data-driven manner. To address these limitations, we design KRAFT, a learning based approach consisting of three parts: (1) Knowledge Graph Construction - where each GDB is represented by a knowledge graph, (2) Map Matching - where we use a knowledge graph alignment method as well as a geospatial feature encoder to match entities in obtained knowledge graphs, and (3) Map Merging - where we merge matched entities in the previous modules in a consistent manner, using a mixed integer linear programming formulation that fully merges the GDBs without adding any inconsistencies. Our experimental evaluation shows that not only does KRAFT achieve outstanding performance compared to state-of-the-art and baseline methods in map conflation tasks, but each of its modules (e.g., Map Matching and Map Merging) also separately outperforms traditional matching and merging methods.
Leveraging Knowlegde Graphs for Interpretable Feature Generation
Bouadi, Mohamed, Alavi, Arta, Benbernou, Salima, Ouziri, Mourad
The quality of Machine Learning (ML) models strongly depends on the input data, as such Feature Engineering (FE) is often required in ML. In addition, with the proliferation of ML-powered systems, especially in critical contexts, the need for interpretability and explainability becomes increasingly important. Since manual FE is time-consuming and requires case specific knowledge, we propose KRAFT, an AutoFE framework that leverages a knowledge graph to guide the generation of interpretable features. Our hybrid AI approach combines a neural generator to transform raw features through a series of transformations and a knowledge-based reasoner to evaluate features interpretability using Description Logics (DL). The generator is trained through Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) to maximize the prediction accuracy and the interpretability of the generated features. Extensive experiments on real datasets demonstrate that KRAFT significantly improves accuracy while ensuring a high level of interpretability.
AI-powered 'Lifesaving Radio' helps surgeons operate with greater efficiency and accuracy
Fox News medical contributor Dr. Marc Siegel joins'Fox & Friends' to discuss the benefits of artificial intelligence in the medical industry if used with caution. Music has long been shown to enhance athletic performance, whether that performance is on an NFL field or a treadmill at the gym. And now, with the help of artificial intelligence, music is helping surgeons achieve better results in the operating room. Backed by scientific studies, NextMed Health -- in collaboration with the data science company Klick Health -- has created the world's first AI-based health care radio station called Lifesaving Radio. It features more than 30 hours of hard rock music that's been carefully curated for peak surgical performance.
How John Young smuggled a corned-beef sandwich into space
John Young (left) and Gus Grissom flew on the first crewed Gemini flight, Gemini 3, on March 23, 1965. Here, they're shown in the spacecraft simulator at the McDonnell plant in St. Louis. One additional "passenger" on the real flight was a corned-beef sandwich that Young smuggled aboard in his pocket. While John Young, who died on Jan. 5 at age 87, is famous for his Apollo 16 moonwalks and his role as commander of the first space shuttle mission, the NASA astronaut is also remembered for a small scandal he triggered with a sneaky act: smuggling a corned-beef sandwich into space. Young slipped the sandwich into his pocket just before launching on Gemini 3 on March 23, 1965.
The future of esports arrives with Overwatch League launch
In the soundstage where Johnny Carson and Jay Leno spent four decades filming "The Tonight Show," a former Washington State computer science student named Seagull is pursuing a South Korean teenager with a very big gun. Hundreds of mostly millennial fans in the renamed, sold-out Blizzard Arena put down their Doritos and roar for the combat between these six-player teams, eventually rising in ecstasy when the Dallas Fuel earn an unexpected point against the powerhouse Seoul Dynasty. He plays video games for a minimum $50,000 salary, health benefits, a retirement savings plan and a chunk of $3.5 million in prize money. Esports history was made Wednesday night with the debut of the Overwatch League, the first attempt to present elite computer gaming within a traditional North American sports structure comparable to the NBA or NFL. The league's 12 franchises represent cities from Shanghai to London, and they build teamwork and stress player development while competing on a weekly schedule stretching into summer.
