Starmer tells metro mayors he will set up ‘council for regions’ in move welcomed by Burnham as ‘very positive’ – UK politics live

Starmer tells metro mayors he will set up 'council for regions and nations' so they can meet government regularlyKeir Starmer has confirmed the government will set up a “council for regions and nations” so that ministers can meet regularly with metro mayors. He was speaking at the Downing Street meeting this morning attended by almost all of England’s metro mayors.Starmer told them: I’m a great believer in devolution, I’m a great believer in the idea that those with skin in the game – those that know their communities – make much better decisions than people sitting in Westminster and Whitehall.…

The Impact of Quantization and Pruning on Deep Reinforcement Learning Models

The Impact of Quantization and Pruning on Deep Reinforcement Learning Models

arXiv:2407.04803v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deep reinforcement learning (DRL) has achieved remarkable success across various domains, such as video games, robotics, and, recently, large language models. However, the computational costs and memory requirements of DRL models often limit their deployment in resource-constrained environments. The challenge underscores the urgent need to explore neural network compression methods to make RDL models more practical and broadly applicable. Our study investigates the impact of two prominent compression methods, quantization and pruning on DRL models. We examine how these techniques influence four performance factors: average return, memory, inference time, and battery utilization across various DRL…

Sensing technologies and machine learning methods for emotion recognition in autism: Systematic review

Sensing technologies and machine learning methods for emotion recognition in autism: Systematic review

arXiv:2407.04712v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Background: Human Emotion Recognition (HER) has been a popular field of study in the past years. Despite the great progresses made so far, relatively little attention has been paid to the use of HER in autism. People with autism are known to face problems with daily social communication and the prototypical interpretation of emotional responses, which are most frequently exerted via facial expressions. This poses significant practical challenges to the application of regular HER systems, which are normally developed for and by neurotypical people. Objective: This study reviews the literature on the use of HER…

The best budget wireless earbuds for 2024

The best budget wireless earbuds for 2024

Bluetooth: v5.2 | ANC: No | Transparency mode: No | Custom EQ: Yes | Charging port: USB-C | Wireless charging: No | Water resistance: IPX2 | Multipoint connectivity: Yes (2 devices) | Wear detection: Yes | Battery life (rated): 5 hrs, 6 hrs w/ wake word off, 20 hrs w/ case | Fast charging: 15 mins = 2 hrs | Codecs: SBC, AAC, aptX | Warranty: 1 year All of our picks so far are technically earphones, meaning they extend into your ear canal. For some people, that is inherently uncomfortable. Unfortunately, the market for decent yet affordable “earbuds,” which…

This old 2020 email from Mark Zuckerberg might just be the explanation for his extreme makeover

This old 2020 email from Mark Zuckerberg might just be the explanation for his extreme makeover

However, the extreme makeover may have less to do with Zuckerberg's evolving taste in fashion than with a concerted plan to make the billionaire more relatable to people his age.In January 2020, the Meta CEO exchanged a series of emails with his colleagues and then-board member Peter Thiel on how they could better sell Facebook to millennials.But what's more interesting was the personal brand that Zuckerberg hoped to cultivate as part of Meta's plan to woo millennials, as outlined in one email exchange."While our company has a special role in the lives of this generation, this is likely particularly important…

Revisiting Structured Sentiment Analysis as Latent Dependency Graph Parsing

Revisiting Structured Sentiment Analysis as Latent Dependency Graph Parsing

arXiv:2407.04801v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Structured Sentiment Analysis (SSA) was cast as a problem of bi-lexical dependency graph parsing by prior studies. Multiple formulations have been proposed to construct the graph, which share several intrinsic drawbacks: (1) The internal structures of spans are neglected, thus only the boundary tokens of spans are used for relation prediction and span recognition, thus hindering the model's expressiveness; (2) Long spans occupy a significant proportion in the SSA datasets, which further exacerbates the problem of internal structure neglect. In this paper, we treat the SSA task as a dependency parsing task on partially-observed dependency…

Python Decorators: What is decorators and how to use them?

Python Decorators: What is decorators and how to use them?

Decorators are a powerful and versatile tool that allows you to modify the behavior of functions without permanently altering their original code. They work by wrapping a function in another function, which adds some extra functionality before or after the original function executes. What they are: Decorators are higher-order functions, meaning they take another function as an argument and return a new function. The new function returned by the decorator typically acts as a wrapper around the original function, adding or modifying its behavior. How they work: Defining the Decorator: You create a function that takes another function as its…
