Data-parallel SGD is the de facto algorithm for distributed optimization, especially for large scale machine learning. Despite its merits, communication bottleneck is one of its persistent issues. Most compression schemes to alleviate this either assume noiseless communication links, or fail to achieve good performance on practical tasks. In this paper, we close this gap and introduce LASER: LineAr CompreSsion in WirEless DistRibuted Optimization. LASER capitalizes on the inherent low-rank structure of gradients and transmits them efficiently over the noisy channels. Whilst enjoying theoretical guarantees similar to those of the classical SGD, LASER shows consistent gains over baselines on a variety of practical benchmarks. In particular, it outperforms the state-of-the-art compression schemes on challenging computer vision and GPT language modeling tasks. On the latter, we obtain $50$-$64 \%$ improvement in perplexity over our baselines for noisy channels.

The background of the presentation is a perspective on the development of wireless technology from 2000 to 2010. The foreground of the presentation is a contrasted understanding of intelligence in "natural" wireless (human communication) versus "artificial" wireless (communication between devices). Invited talk, presented at The Twelfth Annual Conference on Innovative Applications of Artificial Intelligence (IAAI-2000), Austin, TX, August, 2000.

A Portland, Oregon-based company named Global Energy Transmission (GET) is developing a network of wireless charging hotspots for drones. With only six minutes hovering over a grid for a full charge, an electric industrial class drone can repeat the cycle of charging and flying until its battery is drained without ever having to land or connect to a cable using this technology. GET's long-term vision includes a cell-tower like infrastructure comprising numerous charging stations, enabling indefinite flying time for drones in the network. If successful, this technology could reinvent the commercial drone industry, providing 24/7 solutions in dedicated areas for things like deliveries, monitoring, and security. Per GET's website, the drone built for the charging network technology weighs about 18 lbs without the battery, can carry about 15 lbs, and can fly for 28 minutes weighing 30 lbs at takeoff.

To be honest, the Fourth of July is not the first, or even the fifth or sixth, retail holiday on our calendars. And a lot of people--both customers and retailers--are saving up their big guns for Amazon Prime Day, our real national summer shopping holiday. Nevertheless, it's still possible to save a couple bucks, especially if you're shopping for travel and outdoor gear for your summer vacaciones. In our opinion, the best deal of all is a year's subscription to WIRED for $5, which still comes with a free Yubikey. But we've rounded up a few others for you to look at on National Fireworks Day.

RoboFly is only slightly bigger than a real fly. A new type of flying robot is so tiny and lightweight -- it weighs about as much as a toothpick -- it can perch on your finger. The little flitter is also capable of untethered flight and is powered by lasers. This is a big leap forward in the design of diminutive airborne bots, which are usually too small to support a power source and must trail a lifeline to a distant battery in order to fly, engineers who built the new robot announced in a statement. Their insect-inspired creation is dubbed RoboFly, and like its animal namesake, it sports a pair of delicate, transparent wings that carry it into the air. But unlike its robot precursors, RoboFly ain't got no strings to hold it down.

Smart home technology feels like it's making its way towards mainstream adoption in 2018. AI integrated devices are leading the way and responding to voice commands for anything from looking up the day's weather forecast, providing dinner recipe inspiration or switching on the lights when you get in from work. As we rely on technology increasingly to help us navigate our busy lives, it makes sense that our home interiors will become tech-integrated too. We've rounded up some of the most popular and easy ways to introduce new tech into your home this year. More and more households are relying on digital AI assistants such as Amazon's Alexa and Google Assistant, with smart speakers becoming part of the furniture in many homes.

LAS VEGAS – While finished products get most of the attention at the annual CES consumer electronics show, "ingredient technologies" are the unsung heroes, setting the stage for exciting new devices and services in the years ahead. X Two of those "ingredient technologies" being touted at CES 2018 are 5G wireless and artificial intelligence, officials say. "5G and AI are heralds for the coming data age," said Steve Koenig, senior director of research for the Consumer Technology Association, owner and sponsor of CES, which opened Tuesday and runs through Friday. "CES is going to set the pace for that." It will fuel new services and technologies such as the Internet of Things, augmented reality, autonomous vehicles and smart cities.
