‘Is my boss delusional?’: Ex-CEO of Pizza Hut, KFC, and Taco Bell shares how leaders can avoid being deluded and get the truth

‘Is my boss delusional?’: Ex-CEO of Pizza Hut, KFC, and Taco Bell shares how leaders can avoid being deluded and get the truth

Shortly after Wendy and I got engaged, I went to Louisville to meet her parents. She was anxious to know what kind of impression I'd made, so at the first opportunity, she pulled her mother aside and said, "So, what do you think?" At that moment, they could hear me trash-talking her two brothers, Jeff and Rick, as we played basketball in the driveway."Well," my future mother-in-law, Anne, replied, "he's a very loud man."She was right. Wendy says I'm like a big puppy dog, jumping around, barking, and wagging its tail. When you're in a position of leadership, that kind…

Decision Mamba: Reinforcement Learning via Hybrid Selective Sequence Modeling

Decision Mamba: Reinforcement Learning via Hybrid Selective Sequence Modeling

arXiv:2406.00079v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent works have shown the remarkable superiority of transformer models in reinforcement learning (RL), where the decision-making problem is formulated as sequential generation. Transformer-based agents could emerge with self-improvement in online environments by providing task contexts, such as multiple trajectories, called in-context RL. However, due to the quadratic computation complexity of attention in transformers, current in-context RL methods suffer from huge computational costs as the task horizon increases. In contrast, the Mamba model is renowned for its efficient ability to process long-term dependencies, which provides an opportunity for in-context RL to solve tasks that require…

Diversifying Query: Region-Guided Transformer for Temporal Sentence Grounding

Diversifying Query: Region-Guided Transformer for Temporal Sentence Grounding

arXiv:2406.00143v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Temporal sentence grounding is a challenging task that aims to localize the moment spans relevant to a language description. Although recent DETR-based models have achieved notable progress by leveraging multiple learnable moment queries, they suffer from overlapped and redundant proposals, leading to inaccurate predictions. We attribute this limitation to the lack of task-related guidance for the learnable queries to serve a specific mode. Furthermore, the complex solution space generated by variable and open-vocabulary language descriptions exacerbates the optimization difficulty, making it harder for learnable queries to distinguish each other adaptively. To tackle this limitation, we…

StarTree broadly enhances Apache Pinot-based analytics platform – SiliconANGLE

StarTree broadly enhances Apache Pinot-based analytics platform – SiliconANGLE

StarTree Inc., a startup commercializing the open-source Apache Pinot real-time data analytics platform, is adding new observability and anomaly detection capabilities to its managed service along with vector search functionality for Pinot. Apache Pinot is an open-source, distributed, real-time analytics engine originally developed by LinkedIn Inc. It’s designed to handle large-scale, low-latency data ingestion and querying and can execute complex analytical queries in real time. It’s highly regarded for efficiency and speed. StarTree ThirdEye, a real-time anomaly detection and root cause analysis application, is now generally available. It provides automated, multi-dimensional metric monitoring to identify the root causes of problems,…

Large Language Models’ Detection of Political Orientation in Newspapers

Large Language Models’ Detection of Political Orientation in Newspapers

arXiv:2406.00018v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Democratic opinion-forming may be manipulated if newspapers' alignment to political or economical orientation is ambiguous. Various methods have been developed to better understand newspapers' positioning. Recently, the advent of Large Language Models (LLM), and particularly the pre-trained LLM chatbots like ChatGPT or Gemini, hold disruptive potential to assist researchers and citizens alike. However, little is know on whether LLM assessment is trustworthy: do single LLM agrees with experts' assessment, and do different LLMs answer consistently with one another? In this paper, we address specifically the second challenge. We compare how four widely employed LLMs rate…

The 5 best cordless vacuums for 2024

The 5 best cordless vacuums for 2024

Old-school vacuums left a lot to be desired, and cordless vacuum cleaners are here to right many of those wrongs. The latest models tend to be thinner, lighter and easy to maneuver around a home, and you don’t really have to sacrifice suction power anymore to get those benefits. Dyson isn’t your only option anymore either — like the robot vacuum space, there are dozens of cordless vacuums to choose from today. Variety is great, but it can also lead to decision fatigue and confusion. We at Engadget can help make that decision a bit easier. After testing a bunch…
