Wahba’s problem is a mathematical optimization issue that involves finding the optimal rotation matrix in three-dimensional space, which is a key component of SO(3) optimization.

The solution to Wahba’s problem and SO(3) matrix optimization can be applied to rotation learning in geometric machine learning, utilizing various parametrizations such as Bingham, Cauchy, and von Mises-Fisher.

Stochastic policies on manifolds can also be learned using these parametrizations, which is essential for various applications in geometric machine learning.

A recent experiment found that the output format of large language models (LLMs) affects their confidence scores, with decimal formats producing more conservative and consistent results.

In contrast, some models exhibited unstable behavior when confidence scores were output in a 0-100 format, suggesting that the choice of number format can influence model behavior.

Naboo, a Paris-headquartered company, has raised $70 million in a Series B funding round led by Lightspeed Venture Partners.

The investment aims to support Naboo’s goal of becoming the primary operating layer for large companies to plan, book, and manage corporate events.

Naboo’s platform utilizes AI to facilitate corporate event planning, including venue booking, travel arrangements, supplier coordination, and budget control.

This funding round comes a year after Naboo’s €20 million Series A round and will help the company, founded in 2022, further develop its procurement platform for corporate events.

Apple has updated its App Review Guidelines to prohibit apps that facilitate “random or anonymous chat” from being listed on the App Store.

The updated guidelines also expand the list of user-generated content experiences that can be removed from the App Store without notice, although specific details on these changes have not been provided.

A recent FCC filing for the Motorola MA2 has made public various details about the upcoming wireless Android Auto dongle, including pictures and the user guide.

The filing provides an in-depth look at the device’s design and functionality, offering insight into what consumers can expect from the product.

Apple’s updated Home app architecture becomes mandatory today, as it is required for Matter support and compatibility with certain types of accessories.

The first Android 17 beta is now available for download and installation.

Pixel device owners can access the beta version through the Android Beta Program or by manually flashing the update.

Researchers have proposed a set of benchmarks to assess the ability of artificial intelligence to make scientific discoveries, modeled after the Turing test.

The proposed “Turing test for an AI scientist” consists of seven benchmarks designed to evaluate whether AI can independently rediscover foundational scientific principles without relying on human knowledge.

Google has started rolling out the Android 16 QPR3 Beta 2.1 patch to Pixel devices.

This update follows the previous release by nearly four weeks and is an incremental update to Beta 2 rather than the expected Beta 3.

The RedMagic 11 Pro features the latest Qualcomm chip, ample memory, and an advanced liquid cooling system, enabling it to run games more effectively than any other phone tested.

Google has released the first build of Android 17, which is now available for download on Pixel 6 series and later models.

Android 17 is designed to improve the adaptability of apps across different form factors and enhance overall performance.

Apple’s updated Home app architecture becomes mandatory today, as announced by the company.

The updated architecture is required for Matter support and compatibility with certain types of accessories.

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has signed a deal with Clearview AI to use its face recognition technology for “tactical targeting” purposes.

The agreement will provide CBP’s Border Patrol intelligence units with access to a face recognition tool that has been built using billions of images scraped from the internet.

Grassmannian manifold learning is being explored for applications in image classification, video recognition, and MIMO communication.

Research in this area involves the use of Riccati ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and matrix-based deep neural networks to optimize and improve learning on Grassmannian manifolds.

SpaceX’s Super Heavy booster has completed four days of “cryoproof” testing, a crucial step in preparing for the next Starship flight.

This upcoming flight is a key precursor for more ambitious missions that SpaceX has planned.
