MIT’s Visual Navigation for Autonomous Vehicles course covers the full perception-to-control stack, not just isolated algorithms…What it focuses on:
• 2D and 3D vision for navigation
• Visual and visual-inertial odometry for state estimation
• Place recognition and SLAM for localization and mapping
You can reduce outlier effects in linear regression models by using robust linear regression. This page defines robust regression, shows how to use it to fit a linear model, and compares the results to a standard fit…
We extract thousands of words of memorized books from production language models…Our work highlights that, even with model- and system-level safeguards, extraction of (in-copyright) training data remains a risk for production LLMs…

AI News:
Microsoft just launched Copilot Checkout, a new feature that lets U.S. shoppers complete purchases directly inside the AI assistant without ever leaving the chat window — with major sellers and retailers already integrated into the platform. Users can navigate the entire shopping experience, from search to payment, within the chat, with retailers maintaining full control over transactions.

Zhipu AI just debuted on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange after raising $558M, becoming the first major Chinese AI company to go public — and firing a shot at U.S. rivals with prices a fraction of what labs like OpenAI and Anthropic charge. Share prices on day one valued the company at between $6-8B, a fraction of Anthropic's recent $350B or xAI’s reported $230B valuations.
xAI's losses are mounting as it spends to build data centers, recruit talent, and develop software that will eventually power humanoid robots. The company reported that it spent $7.8 billion in cash in the first nine months of last year. Its revenue nearly doubled quarter-over-quarter to $107 million for the three-month period ending in September.
John Ternus, Apple's head of hardware engineering, could be next in line to replace Tim Cook as CEO if he steps aside. Ternus, who joined Apple in 2001, is known for his attention to detail and knowledge of Apple's vast supply network. Apple began accelerating planning for Cook's succession last year after Cook told senior leaders he would like to reduce his workload.
Wall Street has officially bought into Google’s AI comeback. Alphabet’s market cap has surged to $3.89 trillion, flipping Apple to take the spot of the world’s second most valuable company. This rally is driven by investor confidence in Google’s Gemini models, which now claim over 20% of global AI chat traffic, and their custom cloud chips (TPUs).
