Spatial Temporal Approach for High-Resolution Gridded Wind Forecasting across Southwest Western Australia

Spatial Temporal Approach for High-Resolution Gridded Wind Forecasting across Southwest Western Australia

arXiv:2407.20283v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Accurate wind speed and direction forecasting is paramount across many sectors, spanning agriculture, renewable energy generation, and bushfire management. However, conventional forecasting models encounter significant challenges in precisely predicting wind conditions at high spatial resolutions for individual locations or small geographical areas (< 20 km2) and capturing medium to long-range temporal trends and comprehensive spatio-temporal patterns. This study focuses on a spatial temporal approach for high-resolution gridded wind forecasting at the height of 3 and 10 metres across large areas of the Southwest of Western Australia to overcome these challenges. The model utilises the data…

Etsy just announced a loyalty program that’s (sort of) similar to Amazon Prime

Etsy just announced an upcoming loyalty program for buyers called Etsy Insider. This is the first-ever program of its type on the platform and the company begins testing in September. Select customers will receive an invite for the service as it gets closer to launch.So what do you get? It’s sort of like Amazon Prime, but without the streaming video and all of that other stuff. Etsy Insider offers free shipping and access to discounts. Pricing has yet to be announced, but COO Raina Moskowitz says the monthly fee will be close to the cost of a latte. So, anywhere…

Rethinking Attention Module Design for Point Cloud Analysis

Rethinking Attention Module Design for Point Cloud Analysis

arXiv:2407.19294v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In recent years, there have been significant advancements in applying attention mechanisms to point cloud analysis. However, attention module variants featured in various research papers often operate under diverse settings and tasks, incorporating potential training strategies. This heterogeneity poses challenges in establishing a fair comparison among these attention module variants. In this paper, we address this issue by rethinking and exploring attention module design within a consistent base framework and settings. Both global-based and local-based attention methods are studied, with a focus on the selection basis and scales of neighbors for local-based attention. Different combinations…

100FrontendChallenge – Day 2 – Add to cart

The second UI is a simple add to cart component. As I thought writing the introduction to this challenge I needed some framework to handle interactions so I added the Svelte framework for the select behaviour of the shirts, sizes and colors available. Here's the result Checkout the 100FrontendChallenge site or the code on GitHub. Source link lol

Spring Health’s Valuation Jumps To $3.3B After $100M Series E

Spring Health’s Valuation Jumps To $3.3B After $100M Series E

Mental health funding has been as hot as the weather the past few weeks. Spring Health became the latest startup in the sector to raise big, locking up a $100 million Series E at a  $3.3 billion valuation — a 65% increase from the $2 billion valuation it received in 2021 after a $190 million in Series C. The new round was led by Generation Investment Management, with participation from existing investors including Kinnevik, The William K Warren Foundation, RRE Ventures and Northzone. Founded in 2016, the company has raised nearly $467 million, per Crunchbase. New York-based Spring Health partners…

Contrastive Feedback Mechanism for Simultaneous Speech Translation

Contrastive Feedback Mechanism for Simultaneous Speech Translation

arXiv:2407.20524v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advances in simultaneous speech translation (SST) focus on the decision policies that enable the use of offline-trained ST models for simultaneous inference. These decision policies not only control the quality-latency trade-off in SST but also mitigate the impact of unstable predictions on translation quality by delaying translation for more context or discarding these predictions through stable hypothesis detection. However, these policies often overlook the potential benefits of utilizing unstable predictions. We introduce the contrastive feedback mechanism (CFM) for SST, a novel method that leverages these unstable predictions as feedback to improve translation quality. CFM…

Lures and violent threats: old school cheating still rampant at Australian universities, even as AI rises

Kane Murdoch’s job takes him, his colleagues and his family to some frightening places.“A comment … threatened to gang rape my wife and decapitate me,” he wrote on his blog in April. Members of his team and their families had also been threatened with violence as a direct result of their work, he said.Murdoch is not a police officer or a private investigator, but the head of complaints, appeals and misconduct at an Australian university.The threats came, he said, as a result of action that thwarted criminal gangs running schemes offering to complete assignments for students on a commercial basis…

Gemma Scope: helping the safety community shed light on the inner workings of language models

Technologies Published 31 July 2024 Authors Language Model Interpretability team Announcing a comprehensive, open suite of sparse autoencoders for language model interpretability.To create an artificial intelligence (AI) language model, researchers build a system that learns from vast amounts of data without human guidance. As a result, the inner workings of language models are often a mystery, even to the researchers who train them. Mechanistic interpretability is a research field focused on deciphering these inner workings. Researchers in this field use sparse autoencoders as a kind of ‘microscope’ that lets them see inside a language model, and get a better sense…
