From gladiators to mock naval battles, what were the major sports events in the ancient world?
Australians love a major sporting event and so did the ancient Greeks and Romans. And it wasn’t just the Olympics they flocked to.

Fast Feature Field ($\text{F}^3$): A Predictive Representation of Events
This paper develops a mathematical argument and algorithms for building representations of data from event-based cameras, that we call Fast Feature Field ($\text{F}^3$). We learn this representation by predicting future events from past events and show that it preserves scene structure and motion information. $\text{F}^3$ exploits the sparsity of event data and is robust to noise and variations in event rates. It can be computed efficiently using ideas from multi-resolution hash encoding and de…

Inferring Effects of Major Events through Discontinuity Forecasting of Population Anxiety
Estimating community-specific mental health effects of local events is vital for public health policy. While forecasting mental health scores alone offers limited insights into the impact of events on community well-being, quasi-experimental designs like the Longitudinal Regression Discontinuity Design (LRDD) from econometrics help researchers derive more effects that are more likely to be causal from observational data. LRDDs aim to extrapolate the size of changes in an outcome (e.g. a discont…

People with more life experience see and digest everyday 'events' more clearly, research finds
Research by Royal Holloway has found people with a varied social life mentally put their daily experiences into small "events," compared to more isolated people who see their world as one-long stretch.
