Researchers at Ohio State and Wisconsin–Madison presented sparse amortized variational inference for Gaussian processes with spatial data. In a NOAA Arctic sea-ice example, the model used 1,398 variational parameters for 21,855 observations.
Georgia Tech researchers’ Splat2Act system scans an indoor space by phone, builds a digital twin and adapts a robot’s object-pickup policy with simulated demonstrations. The paper tested task success on a robot arm.

Researchers affiliated with NYU Abu Dhabi present a framework for testing whether model-written quantum software tests distinguish correct from faulty solutions.
Researchers affiliated with French institutions presented a robot-failure detector that tracks how objects are positioned and related during a task. They evaluated it on an existing benchmark and a new dataset with two tasks.

Qatar News Agency, citing Kuwait Petroleum Corporation data, reported that Kuwaiti crude reached $108.10 per barrel in Thursday trading. That was a $4.89 increase from Wednesday’s $103.21.
Abu Dhabi Quality and Conformity Council, together with the Department of Municipalities and Transport, launched professional conformity programmes for animal-related occupations. The programmes were developed with experts from government and the private sector.

Measurement and privacy details
Google Analytics measurement starts only if you allow it. After consent, automatic measurement may cover scrolls, outbound link clicks, downloads, video engagement, site searches and basic form interactions; search terms may be detected from URL parameters. This site’s own code does not send form field values; email redaction in automatic measurement is best-effort, not guaranteed. Our manual page-view event uses a cleaned URL. You can change your choice later. Visits that begin with consent may also send numeric LCP, INP and CLS performance measurements after Analytics loads. A first or later grant starts this on the next page load; withdrawing consent stops these performance reports for this page. The preference cookie lasts six months; advertising measurement and personalization stay off.
