Autonomous vehicle software company Applied Intuition has raised $250 million in a round that values the startup at $6 billion, as it pushes to bring more artificial intelligence to the automotive, defense, construction and agriculture sectors. The eye-popping funding round is the latest example of investor fervor for AI. Applied Intuition appears to have nailed a particular sweet spot for VCs who are on the hunt for startups with AI products that cross into large industries with big budgets —…

It is December 2023, and Shabaka Hutchings has just played a gig at Saint John at Hackney church, London, performing John Coltrane’s 1964 album A Love Supreme. It was rapturously received, despite – or perhaps because of – Hutchings’ unorthodox approach to playing this revered text, the very cornerstone of spiritual jazz. There was no collective rehearsal – instead, Hutchings wrote “a really deep, long email” to his bandmates, ruminating on the meaning of the term spiritual jazz. “People say ‘spiritual jazz, spiritual…

Indian-American pianist and composer Vijay Iyer’s three decades of accolades took off when, as a polymathic twentysomething, he was a California physics PhD student – at which point a sideline in classical music training and self-taught jazz piano took him into another world. Physics has always seemed to square with Iyer’s sharp-focused yet poetic musical muse – precisely analytical yet conceptually wide open, searching for fundamentals that can bend to anything from the psychology of music-making, to…

Intuition RoboticsElliQ's conversational capabilities have also been improved through deeper integration of generative AI, via its Relationship Orchestration Engine, which "makes real-time decisions regarding actions, scripted conversation, and generative AI conversation," according to the release.Also: Generative AI is a developer's delight. Now, let's find some other use casesThe implementation of generative AI will also support the robot's memory feature, which takes information the user shares with the device,…

Embark Trucks, the autonomous trucking company that recently cut 70% of its workforce, is being acquired by Applied Intuition, a simulation and software provider for autonomous vehicle development. The all-cash transaction has an equity value of about $71 million, according to the companies. Embark went public in 2021 via a merger with a special purpose acquisition company. Like many so-called SPACs that joined the public markets before they were mature enough, Embark struggled to develop and…

Too Long; Didn't ReadAs entrepreneurs, there are many different skills we have to constantly be developing. But what if there’s one that you can’t touch, can’t see, can’t really measure, but it turns out to be one of the most valuable tools in your arsenal? We’re talking about intuition. Intuition can be hard to define, but it’s that general feeling you get that something is right or wrong without necessarily being able to explain why. It’s your gut feeling, that sense of ‘knowing’. We’ve all felt it before, when we…

Image by authorA guide to the math, intuition, and practical use of KL divergence — including how it is best used in drift monitoringKullback-Leibler divergence metric (relative entropy) is a statistical measurement from information theory that is commonly used to quantify the difference between one probability distribution from a reference probability distribution.While it is popular, KL divergence is sometimes misunderstood. In practice, it can also sometimes be difficult to know when to use one statistical distance…

The intuition behind variance reduction and why it is important in randomized experiments.Photo by Mars Plex on UnsplashThis is the first part in a series of two articles where we are going to dive deep into variance reduction in experiments. In this article we are going to discuss why variance reduction is necessary and build an intuition behind its mechanism. In the second part we are going to evaluate the latest method in this space: MLRATE, as well as compare it to other well-established methods such as, CUPED.Let’s…

An intuition of how seasonality affects time series analysisPhoto by Jake Hills on UnsplashSeasonality is a crucial aspect of time-series analysis. As time-series are indexed forward in time, they are subject to seasonal fluctuations. For example, we expect ice cream sales to be higher in the summer months and lower in the winter months.Seasonality can come in different time intervals such as days, weeks or months. The key for time-series analysis is to understand how the seasonality affects our series, therefore making…
