How Many Stories Can Your Data Tell?

How the way we represent data can change what we think the data is saying The post How Many Stories Can Your Data Tell? appeared first on Towards Data Science.

My First Day With OpenAI Dots: Easy Setup and a Very Likeable Assistant

OpenAI’s new Dots tool gave me a persistent assistant named Herman. After one night and a morning, I’m enjoying how natural it feelsand how little setup it takes.

Insight Is Still the Currency of Data Science

Coding agents give us more time for discovery and our review practices should follow the analysis The post Insight Is Still the Currency of Data Science appeared first on Towards Data Science.

How to Solve Issues When You Nest Measures While Overwriting the Same Filter

In DAX, we reuse existing measures all the time when writing new measures. What happens when we write a measure based on another measure and try to change a filter already set in the nested measure? The post How to…

OpenAI DevDay 2026: ChatGPT is becoming an AI operating system

OpenAI launched more than 20 products at DevDay 2026. Together, Dots, plugins, Agents API, Space, Sign in with ChatGPT, and Private Intelligence reveal a much bigger plan.

Zuckerberg’s Next AI Bet: Teaching Muse When to Keep Quiet

A personal AI agent can know something about you without having permission to share it. Zuckerberg says teaching Muse that distinction is a core capability—and a requirement for earning users’ trust.

DeepSeek Opened the Code. Can Huawei Deliver the Compute?

DeepSeek is making more of its AI infrastructure work with Huawei’s Ascend chips, potentially lowering one barrier to switching away from Nvidia. Whether that becomes a real alternative now depends on developers, chip…

Factorized Scheduling Principle: Learning Interpretable and Transferable Policies via Structured Additive Functions

arXiv:2609.36578v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Scheduling problems arise from repeatedly selecting one item from a set of candidates based on their states. These problems often reduce to assigning priority scores and…

Transolver-$\sigma$: Joint Spectral-Physical Subspace Modeling for Neural PDE Solving

arXiv:2609.37279v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Neural solvers offer efficient surrogates for numerical simulation of partial differential equations (PDEs). For time-dependent problems, strong one-step accuracy does not…

FACT: Fidelity-Aware Construction of Articulated Twins

arXiv:2609.37067v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Visually plausible articulated assets may still fail during contact interactions or exhibit inaccurate motion. We present FACT (Fidelity-Aware Construction of…

WitnessGym: Benchmarking Coding Agents on the Construction of Bug Witnesses

arXiv:2609.36635v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Bug validation asks a coding agent to produce an executable witness for a reported bug. The witness combines a concrete input with a testing harness and exposes faulty…

Benchmarking Vision-Language Models on Synapse Detection and Proofreading in Connectomics

arXiv:2609.36492v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We benchmarked vision-language models (VLMs) on the decisions annotators take when inspecting electron microscopy images in connectomics: synapse detection (presence and…

HorizonFlow: Variable-Length Planning for Offline Goal-Conditioned RL

arXiv:2609.36896v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advances in generative planning have made trajectory inpainting a promising approach to offline goal-conditioned reinforcement learning. However, these methods…

AeroManip-VLA: Scalable Vision-Language-Action Learning for Aerial Manipulation with RL-Generated Demonstrations

arXiv:2609.36915v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Aerial manipulators extend robotic manipulation into 3D workspaces that are difficult for ground-based robots to access, creating new opportunities for general-purpose…

How Can Recommendation Feedback Evolve Agent Memory?

arXiv:2609.37544v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Content-generation agents continuously receive impressions, clicks, conversions, and negative feedback from recommendation systems, providing real-world outcome signals…

EgoHumanoid-V2: Human-to-Humanoid Transfer of Coordinated Whole-Body Skills for Loco-Manipulation

arXiv:2609.37181v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Human demonstrations capture diverse scenes and rich whole-body skills without requiring robot teleoperation. Prior work on egocentric transfer has emphasized scene…
