Fox acquires sports broadcasting platform Caliente TV
The media company is bulking up its sports offerings to better compete with other streaming services.

Pay attention, because Mike Lee and his Republican cronies have put the sale of NFS and BLM lands back into Trump's grifty budget bill. This means they could sell Heather Lake and Lake 22, two popular hiking destinations in the North Cascades.

Local Differential Privacy for Distributed Stochastic Aggregative Optimization with Guaranteed Optimality
Distributed aggregative optimization underpins many cooperative optimization and multi-agent control systems, where each agent's objective function depends both on its local optimization variable and an aggregate of all agents' optimization variables. Existing distributed aggregative optimization approaches typically require access to accurate gradients of the objective functions, which, however, are often hard to obtain in real-world applications. For example, in machine learning, gradients ar…

Contribution of expert aggregation to temperature prediction part II: Second order bounds with sleeping experts
In this paper we improve on the temperature predictions made with (online) Expert Aggregation (EA) [Cesa-Bianchi and Lugosi, 2006] in Part I. In particular, we make the aggregation more reactive, whilst maintaining at least the same root mean squared error and reducing the number of large errors. We have achieved this by using the Sleeping Expert Framework (SEF) [Freund et al., 1997, Devaine et al., 2013], which allows the more efficient use of biased experts (bad on average but which may be go…

Efficient space reduction techniques by optimized majority rules for the Kemeny aggregation problem
The Kemeny aggregation problem consists of computing the consensus rankings of an election with respect to the Kemeny-Young voting method. These aggregated rankings are the geometric medians as well as the maximum likelihood estimators in the Mallows model of the rankings in the election under the Kendall-tau distance which counts the number of pairwise disagreements. The problem admits fundamental applications in various domains such as computational social choice, machine learning, operations…
