Ensuring Quality Forecasts with Databricks Lakehouse Monitoring

Ensuring Quality Forecasts with Databricks Lakehouse Monitoring

Forecasting models are critical for many businesses to predict future trends, but their accuracy depends heavily on the quality of the input data. Poor quality data can lead to inaccurate forecasts that result in suboptimal decisions. This is where Databricks Lakehouse Monitoring comes in - it provides a unified solution to monitor both the quality of data flowing into forecasting models as well as the model performance itself.Monitoring is especially crucial for forecasting models. Forecasting deals with time series data, where the temporal component and sequential nature of the data introduce additional complexities. Issues like data drift, where the statistical…

A Benchmark for Fairness-Aware Graph Learning

A Benchmark for Fairness-Aware Graph Learning

arXiv:2407.12112v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Fairness-aware graph learning has gained increasing attention in recent years. Nevertheless, there lacks a comprehensive benchmark to evaluate and compare different fairness-aware graph learning methods, which blocks practitioners from choosing appropriate ones for broader real-world applications. In this paper, we present an extensive benchmark on ten representative fairness-aware graph learning methods. Specifically, we design a systematic evaluation protocol and conduct experiments on seven real-world datasets to evaluate these methods from multiple perspectives, including group fairness, individual fairness, the balance between different fairness criteria, and computational efficiency. Our in-depth analysis reveals key insights into the strengths…

I got a 2.75% mortgage rate when most other homebuyers were being quoted 7%. Now I can save more for retirement.

I got a 2.75% mortgage rate when most other homebuyers were being quoted 7%. Now I can save more for retirement.

This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Brian Sankey, 54, a retired military police officer, who bought a home in Kentucky with an assumable mortgage.An assumable mortgage allows qualifying buyers to acquire the interest rate, current principal balance, and other conditions of a seller's existing loan. Not all loans can be assumed.The essay has been edited for length and clarity.My wife and I live in Elizabethtown, a small town just south of Fort Knox, Kentucky. We've been here for 15 years, which is the longest either of us has ever lived in one place, aside from childhood.Having spent…

Monocular pose estimation of articulated surgical instruments in open surgery

Monocular pose estimation of articulated surgical instruments in open surgery

arXiv:2407.12138v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This work presents a novel approach to monocular 6D pose estimation of surgical instruments in open surgery, addressing challenges such as object articulations, symmetries, occlusions, and lack of annotated real-world data. The method leverages synthetic data generation and domain adaptation techniques to overcome these obstacles. The proposed approach consists of three main components: (1) synthetic data generation using 3D modeling of surgical tools with articulation rigging and physically-based rendering; (2) a tailored pose estimation framework combining object detection with pose estimation and a hybrid geometric fusion strategy; and (3) a training strategy that utilizes both…

Nintendo finally made a first-party Joy-Con charging station

Nintendo finally made a first-party Joy-Con charging station

Nintendo just announced its own first-party Joy-Con controller charging station, which releases on October 17. This is an obvious boon for couch co-op addicts, as you can have two Joy-Cons charging on the dock and another two charging via the console at the same time. Nintendo’s charging station also integrates with the company’s retro wireless NES gamepads, which are primarily used with Nintendo Switch Online games.The Joy-Con Charging Stand (Two-Way) accessory draws power from the Switch’s dock, via the USB-C port, or any other power adapter. The vertical support can also be removed to make it more portable, another bonus…
