The Wednesday game averaged 25.1 million viewers, a 12% decline from last season's Thursday night opener Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, addresses a congressional hearing probing the NFL's streaming practices and rising costs for fans. Jordan discusses the 1961 Sports Broadcasting Act and antitrust concerns, as fans face exorbitant prices to access all games across multiple platforms. He emphasizes the need for affordable access to NFL content for all constituents, not just those who can afford expensive packages. The New England Patriots-Seattle Seahawks matchup last week was the NFL's lowest-rated opening-night game since 2022, averaging 25.1 million viewers on NBC and Peacock.

Welcome in on this beautiful morning for a flaming hot edition of Monday Screencaps where we dive right into the world of football, a new cross country personal record for Screencaps Jr., my trip to Detroit to see a former NFL Super Bowl QB and anything else on my mind because I built this column and they pay me to write things for the readers. Let's start with the world of football with some quick hitters: As many of you know, I've been all over the death of the NFL chain gang topic for the last 2-3 years. Yesterday, I noticed the NFL is now using a virtual measurement tool that sure looks like MLB's ABS system for strike zone challenges.

WHO doesn't expect large Hantavirus outbreak US blockade keeps stranglehold on Iran's economy San Francisco and Los Angeles will meet Sept. 10 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in the league's first Australian game The Justice Department is probing the NFL's exclusive streaming deals amidst fan frustration over fragmented and paid access. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr questions if the league should retain its special antitrust exemption, initially established by the 1961 Sports Broadcasting Act. Fox News contributor Jonathan Turley suggests Congress examine the NFL's monopoly structure, highlighting their $25 billion annual revenue and rising fan costs. The recent pushback against the NFL funneling games to streaming carriers includes federal oversight of the matter, but that isn't stopping the league from doing more -- at least not if a new deal with Netflix to stream the first game ever played in Australia is a measure. The NFL and Netflix have an agreement in place to televise the San Francisco 49ers versus the Los Angeles Rams on Sept. 10, according to The Athletic.

Generative AI has unlocked new possibilities in content discovery and management. Through collaboration with the National Football League (NFL), we demonstrate how a generative-AI based workflow allows media researchers and analysts to query relevant historical plays using natural language, rather than using traditional filter and click-based interfaces. The agentic workflow takes a user query in natural language as an input, dissects the query into different elements, and then translates these elements into the underlying database query language. The accuracy and latency of retrieval are further improved through carefully designed semantic caching. The solution performs with over 95-percent accuracy and reduces the average time of finding relevant videos from 10 minutes to 30 seconds, significantly increasing the NFL's operational efficiency and allowing users to focus more on producing creative content and engaging storylines.

Continual Learning (CL) remains a central challenge in deep learning, where models must sequentially acquire new knowledge while mitigating Catastrophic Forgetting (CF) of prior tasks. Existing approaches often struggle with efficiency and scalability, requiring extensive memory or model buffers. This work introduces ``No Forgetting Learning" (NFL), a memory-free CL framework that leverages knowledge distillation to maintain stability while preserving plasticity. Memory-free means the NFL does not rely on any memory buffer. Through extensive evaluations of three benchmark datasets, we demonstrate that NFL achieves competitive performance while utilizing approximately 14.75 times less memory than state-of-the-art methods. Furthermore, we introduce a new metric to better assess CL's plasticity-stability trade-off.

How can individual agents coordinate their actions to achieve a shared objective in distributed systems? This challenge spans economic, technical, and sociological domains, each confronting scalability, heterogeneity, and conflicts between individual and collective goals. In economic markets, a common currency facilitates coordination, raising the question of whether such mechanisms can be applied in other contexts. This paper explores this idea within social media platforms, where social support (likes, shares, comments) acts as a currency that shapes content production and sharing. We investigate two key questions: (1) Can social support serve as an effective coordination tool, and (2) What role do influencers play in content creation and dissemination? Our formal analysis shows that social support can coordinate user actions similarly to money in economic markets. Influencers serve dual roles, aggregating content and acting as information proxies, guiding content producers in large markets. While imperfections in information lead to a "price of influence" and suboptimal outcomes, this price diminishes as markets grow, improving social welfare. These insights provide a framework for understanding coordination in distributed environments, with applications in both sociological systems and multi-agent AI systems.

Rule-based neural networks stand out for enabling interpretable classification by learning logical rules for both prediction and interpretation. However, existing models often lack flexibility due to the fixed model structure. Addressing this, we introduce the Normal Form Rule Learner (NFRL) algorithm, leveraging a selective discrete neural network, that treat weight parameters as hard selectors, to learn rules in both Conjunctive Normal Form (CNF) and Disjunctive Normal Form (DNF) for enhanced accuracy and interpretability. Instead of adopting a deep, complex structure, the NFRL incorporates two specialized Normal Form Layers (NFLs) with adaptable AND/OR neurons, a Negation Layer for input negations, and a Normal Form Constraint (NFC) to streamline neuron connections. We also show the novel network architecture can be optimized using adaptive gradient update together with Straight-Through Estimator to overcome the gradient vanishing challenge. Through extensive experiments on 11 datasets, NFRL demonstrates superior classification performance, quality of learned rules, efficiency and interpretability compared to 12 state-of-the-art alternatives. Code and data are available at \url{https://anonymous.4open.science/r/NFRL-27B4/}.

Federated learning (FL) is a promising approach for learning a model from data distributed on massive clients without exposing data privacy. It works effectively in the ideal federation where clients share homogeneous data distribution and learning behavior. However, FL may fail to function appropriately when the federation is not ideal, amid an unhealthy state called Negative Federated Learning (NFL), in which most clients gain no benefit from participating in FL. Many studies have tried to address NFL. However, their solutions either (1) predetermine to prevent NFL in the entire learning life-cycle or (2) tackle NFL in the aftermath of numerous learning rounds. Thus, they either (1) indiscriminately incur extra costs even if FL can perform well without such costs or (2) waste numerous learning rounds. Additionally, none of the previous work takes into account the clients who may be unwilling/unable to follow the proposed NFL solutions when using those solutions to upgrade an FL system in use. This paper introduces FL-GUARD, a holistic framework that can be employed on any FL system for tackling NFL in a run-time paradigm. That is, to dynamically detect NFL at the early stage (tens of rounds) of learning and then to activate recovery measures when necessary. Specifically, we devise a cost-effective NFL detection mechanism, which relies on an estimation of performance gain on clients. Only when NFL is detected, we activate the NFL recovery process, in which each client learns in parallel an adapted model when training the global model. Extensive experiment results confirm the effectiveness of FL-GUARD in detecting NFL and recovering from NFL to a healthy learning state. We also show that FL-GUARD is compatible with previous NFL solutions and robust against clients unwilling/unable to take any recovery measures.
