YouTubers Myka and James Stauffer adopted a boy named Huxley from China in 2017 and documented it online.In 2020, the Stuaffers were criticized after revealing they placed him in a new home.In a since-deleted video, the couple said that Huxley was "thriving," and "happy" in his new forever home.Almost five years after YouTubers Myka and James Stauffer faced waves of backlash for their decision to place their adopted son Huxley in a new home, plenty of questions still linger about the family.The Stauffers' controversial decision gets renewed attention in the HBO original documentary series "An Update On Our Family," whose…

The FAA is grounding SpaceX’s Starship after its latest explosion

stp2y0 CommentsNews, , , , ,
The Federal Aviation Administration is ordering SpaceX to conduct a mishap investigation into what caused the company's Starship rocket to explode mid-flight on January 16. Until the FAA approves SpaceX's investigation reported, the company won't be allowed to proceed with future Starship missions.SpaceX's launch seemed to be going as planned prior to the explosion. Starship successfully made it off the launch pad and SpaceX was even able to catch the ship's boosters. But then, only eight and a half minutes after taking off, the Starship spacecraft exploded, according to SpaceX's post-launch blog post. In response to the sudden explosion, the…

Robots should be repurposed rather than recycled to combat rising scale of e-waste, scientists warn

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI
The robotics industry should be creating robots that could be reprogrammed and repurposed for other tasks once its life span is completed, University of Bristol and University of West England researchers have advised. The study, published by Towards Autonomous Robotic Systems, aims to challenge individuals working in the robotics industry and in academia to note the effect that their early work can have on the long-term use of a robotic system. With 80% of a robots environmental impact decided during the initial design phases of a product life-cycle, experts argue it is essential that researchers, designers and manufacturers understand the…

Mono-Forward: Backpropagation-Free Algorithm for Efficient Neural Network Training Harnessing Local Errors

stp2y0 CommentsViral News
arXiv:2501.09238v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Backpropagation is the standard method for achieving state-of-the-art accuracy in neural network training, but it often imposes high memory costs and lacks biological plausibility. In this paper, we introduce the Mono-Forward algorithm, a purely local layerwise learning method inspired by Hinton's Forward-Forward framework. Unlike backpropagation, Mono-Forward optimizes each layer solely with locally available information, eliminating the reliance on global error signals. We evaluated Mono-Forward on multi-layer perceptrons and convolutional neural networks across multiple benchmarks, including MNIST, Fashion-MNIST, CIFAR-10, and CIFAR-100. The test results show that Mono-Forward consistently matches or surpasses the accuracy of backpropagation across…

Benchmarking Robustness of Contrastive Learning Models for Medical Image-Report Retrieval

stp2y0 CommentsViral News
arXiv:2501.09134v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Medical images and reports offer invaluable insights into patient health. The heterogeneity and complexity of these data hinder effective analysis. To bridge this gap, we investigate contrastive learning models for cross-domain retrieval, which associates medical images with their corresponding clinical reports. This study benchmarks the robustness of four state-of-the-art contrastive learning models: CLIP, CXR-RePaiR, MedCLIP, and CXR-CLIP. We introduce an occlusion retrieval task to evaluate model performance under varying levels of image corruption. Our findings reveal that all evaluated models are highly sensitive to out-of-distribution data, as evidenced by the proportional decrease in performance with…

Biden is leaving it to the Trump administration to enforce the TikTok ban

The Biden administration will leave it to Trump to enforce the TikTok ban.Congress ruled last year that Chinese firm ByteDance should sell TikTok or see it banned.Trump takes office on January 20, the day after the deadline for ByteDance to sell.President Joe Biden's administration is not planning to implement the TikTok ban set to take effect on Sunday.That would leave it to President-elect Donald Trump and his officials to act after they take office on January 20.The law, which was passed by Congress and signed by Biden in April of last year, requires TikTok to be banned unless ByteDance, its…
