Iman Shames As we suspected, this approach seems to work well with robust cost functions (M-estimators) like Huber. In this example, I've added outlier edges to the Intel Research Lab dataset (long red edges). The GIF on the left shows the results over 10 (outer) iterations without

Liping Bai 白莉萍 BTW these slides might be useful. This is from a presentation I made with Hamid Taghirad in 2013 (some of the slides come from my undergrad thesis which was full of memes - we had to take them out😀). I took a quick look and it looks accurate enough. mit.edu/~mrrobot/asset…

Please stop making up new names for existing technology! We already have a concise word for the combination of sensors, actuators, and software. We call it robotics! Everyone already knows what the word "robot" means. "Embodied AI" is just a made up marketing buzzword.

I'm teaching part of an undergrad theory of computation class this semester and had to make this for my tomorrow's lecture on Universal Turing Machine😁

Papercept/PaperPlaza's UI hasn't changed in at least 20 years. Someone should modernize it so it's less painful to add/assign papers to reviewers.

This list is a far more reasonable set of investment priorities compared to Australia's current obsession with "responsible AI". We're falling significantly behind, misallocating resources, and missing a crucial opportunity. linkedin.com/posts/daniela-…
