After Slowing In 2023, US Median Round Size Again Growing

After Slowing In 2023, US Median Round Size Again Growing

For  a decade, U.S. seed and early-stage round sizes consistently saw an increase until early 2023 when typical round sizes began to come down and the venture market was three quarters into a funding slowdown. The first half of this year, however, has reversed that trend as the median round size for funding at seed through Series C has picked up again, an analysis of Crunchbase data shows. That median increase was most pronounced for seed and Series A — rising above 2021 and 2022 amounts. For H1 2024, median round sizes could come down as more fundings are added…

Bayesian Network Modeling of Causal Influence within Cognitive Domains and Clinical Dementia Severity Ratings for Western and Indian Cohorts

Bayesian Network Modeling of Causal Influence within Cognitive Domains and Clinical Dementia Severity Ratings for Western and Indian Cohorts

arXiv:2408.12669v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This study investigates the causal relationships between Clinical Dementia Ratings (CDR) and its six domain scores across two distinct aging datasets: the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) and the Longitudinal Aging Study of India (LASI). Using Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs) derived from Bayesian network models, we analyze the dependencies among domain scores and their influence on the global CDR. Our approach leverages the PC algorithm to estimate the DAG structures for both datasets, revealing notable differences in causal relationships and edge strengths between the Western and Indian populations. The analysis highlights a stronger dependency of…

How Israel Is Exploiting Google Ads to Discredit a UN Aid Agency

How Israel Is Exploiting Google Ads to Discredit a UN Aid Agency

What Kronenfeld says truly worries her is that Americans are being exposed to Israel’s propaganda while trying to understand UNRWA’s role in the ongoing crisis. Beside the search ads, Israel has aired video ads in the US through Google that say “UNRWA is inseparable from Hamas” and that it “keeps employing terrorists.” Public misunderstanding could further jeopardize support from the US government, which until the war had been the largest donor to UNRWA.“There is an incredibly powerful campaign to dismantle UNRWA,” Kronenfeld says. “I want the public to know what’s happening and the insidious nature of it, especially at a…

GSFusion: Online RGB-D Mapping Where Gaussian Splatting Meets TSDF Fusion

GSFusion: Online RGB-D Mapping Where Gaussian Splatting Meets TSDF Fusion

arXiv:2408.12677v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Traditional volumetric fusion algorithms preserve the spatial structure of 3D scenes, which is beneficial for many tasks in computer vision and robotics. However, they often lack realism in terms of visualization. Emerging 3D Gaussian splatting bridges this gap, but existing Gaussian-based reconstruction methods often suffer from artifacts and inconsistencies with the underlying 3D structure, and struggle with real-time optimization, unable to provide users with immediate feedback in high quality. One of the bottlenecks arises from the massive amount of Gaussian parameters that need to be updated during optimization. Instead of using 3D Gaussian as a…

An ex-Meta engineer and Stanford Ph.D. student built a bot in a bid to take on big job sites and put the power in the hands of job seekers

An ex-Meta engineer and Stanford Ph.D. student built a bot in a bid to take on big job sites and put the power in the hands of job seekers

Ali Mir and Hamed Nilforoshan believe job sites should be more focused on job seekers because both think they tend to optimize the experience for employers.Mir, previously an engineer at Meta, Rippling, and DoorDash, and Nilforoshan, a computer science Ph.D. student at Stanford University, created their own job board.First formed last year, HiringCafe has just launched its fourth version. It uses OpenAI's ChatGPT to regularly compile job postings directly from company websites, eliminating the roles of recruiters and third-party offshore consultancies.It has over 1.5 million jobs, and the founders hope to gather 2 million more.Taking job listings straight from the sourceHiringCafe uses…

Grounding Fallacies Misrepresenting Scientific Publications in Evidence

Grounding Fallacies Misrepresenting Scientific Publications in Evidence

arXiv:2408.12812v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Health-related misinformation claims often falsely cite a credible biomedical publication as evidence, which superficially appears to support the false claim. The publication does not really support the claim, but a reader could believe it thanks to the use of logical fallacies. Here, we aim to detect and to highlight such fallacies, which requires carefully assessing the exact content of the misrepresented publications. To achieve this, we introduce MissciPlus, an extension of the fallacy detection dataset Missci. MissciPlus builds on Missci by grounding the applied fallacies in real-world passages from misrepresented studies. This creates a realistic…
