Summary: The federal budget deficit was $1.4 trillion for this past fiscal year, the Congressional Budget Office estimated on Tuesday. The figure clocked in at about half of the $2.8 trillion it was in fiscal year 2021, a decline driven by a pullback in pandemic relief spending and an increase in taxes thanks to the economic recovery. Revenues were about $850 billion, or 21% higher than last year, while spending was about 8% lower than last year, the nonpartisan group said in a report.

Summary: The S&P 500 Index recorded its best weekly gain since February, as fears seemed to abate about the new omicron variant of the coronavirus. Most of the benchmarks moved near their record highs, and the S&P Midcap 400 Index reached a new peak on Friday. Information technology stocks drove much of the rally, as solid gains in Apple pushed the market capitalization of the world’s most highly valued public company near USD 3 trillion. Shares of financial firms and utilities lagged but still recorded gains. Source - https://www.troweprice.com/personal-investing/resources/insights/global-markets-weekly-update.html 1.

Summary: Those who have been following the record surge in us public debt (excluding the roughly $100 trillion in off balance sheet obligations), which exploded by $3 trillion in the three months following the covid shutdowns and which hit an all time high $26.547 recently, will be all too aware that the us budget deficit this year and every year after will be staggering. The u.s. budget deficit has more than doubled since 2015, with spending for the 2019 fiscal year ending last september reaching $4.4 trillion versus only $3.5 trillion being brought in through. The u.s. government’s deficit in the first three months of the budget year was a record breaking $572.9 billion, 60.7% higher than the same period a year ago, as spending to deal with the covid 19 pandemic pushed outlays up while revenue declined. (all figures are in u.s. dollars.). The previous deficit record of $231.7 billion was set in february 2012. the total deficit shot past $22 trillion for the first time ever in february, or $2 trillion higher than when trump took office. The budget deficit skyrocketed 39 percent for the fiscal year compared to the same period year on year. by way of comparison, the february deficit is 46 percent larger than the government deficit.

Summary: U.S. stocks ended a volatile session little changed on Friday, but still logged steep weekly losses. The S&P 500 posted its longest weekly losing streak since the dot-com bubble burst, as concerns over tighter monetary policy and the resilience of the economy and corporate profits in the face of inflation resurged. The blue-chip index closed out a choppy session higher by just 0.01% to settle at 3,901.36. This brought the index lower by 18.7% compared to its record closing high of 4,796.56 from Jan. 3 – bringing the S&P 500 within striking distance of a bear market, defined once an index closes at least 20% from a recent all-time closing high. On an intraday basis, the S&P 500 was down by as much as 20.6% compared to its Jan. 3 record closing high. The S&P 500 also posted a seventh consecutive weekly loss in its longest losing streak since 2001.

Summary: For a moment this past week, the stock market felt like it was already there. On Thursday morning, the S&P 500 SPX +2.39% index, down 19.6% from its closing high, was inches from entering a bear market. The Nasdaq Composite COMP +3.82% , home to tech stocks that had driven the bull market, was plunging. Even Bitcoin BTCUSD –2.60% joined the pity party by breaking $29,000 and falling to near $25,000. Everything seemed on the verge of collapse. But the market didn’t collapse. Instead, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell seemed to acknowledge that maybe the Fed wouldn’t be able to engineer a soft or soft-ish landing, as he had so confidently claimed after the May 4 policy meeting. Instead, he said that a recession was possible and largely out of the Fed’s control. For a Fed that was thought to be singularly focused on inflation—economic growth be damned—it was a small, if nuanced, shift, which traders seized on. From Thursday’s low through Friday’s close, the S&P 500 gained 4.3%, and even the ARK Innovation ARKK +11.82% exchange-traded fund (ticker: ARKK), home to so many beaten-down tech stocks, rallied 24%.

The stock market gained sharply on Friday, closing out the week with all three major indexes up over 5% for the week and snapping a three-week losing streak. New data showed the economy continued to slow, feeding investor enthusiasm and signaling inflation may be coming down and the Federal Reserve may ease its tight monetary policy. The Nasdaq closed up 3.3%, the S&P 500 gained 3.1% and the Dow Jones Industrials closed up 2.7%. Top gainers in the Dow Jones today, with gains of at least 5%, included Salesforce.com (CRM), Goldman Sachs (GS) and Boeing (BA). The Russell 2000 index of small caps gained 3.1%. The Innovator IBD 50 ETF (FFTY), a bellwether for growth stocks, rose 1.6%. Volume rose sharply on both the Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange due to rebalancing of the Russell indexes.

Summary: The USA budget YTD March 2022 hit $667B The USA continues to struggle with high inflation. The Fed target of 2% will be difficult challenge to achieved due to many issues facing the USA economy. State and local government local finances have stabilized. There needs to be comprehensive housing strategy that involves all levels of government and the private sector including adoption 3D printing, reducing the time/cost for permits, water strategy, urban vs rural strategy, and a focus on protecting the environment while growing the economy in a sustainable way. All levels of government must adopt better risks and crisis management reporting including annual audits.

Summary: Dow Jones futures will open on Sunday evening, along with S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq futures, with the upcoming Fed meeting in focus. The major indexes sold off hard late last week, tumbling below key levels while recent breakouts failed dramatically. The Nasdaq plunged Friday to close below the low of its May 26 follow-through day, a very bearish signal. The current uptrend already was "under pressure" after Thursday's sell-off. NetEase (NTES), Northrop Grumman (NOC), Eli Lilly (LLY), Albemarle (ALB) and Onsemi (ON) are all showing relative strength near buy points. These are worthy for your watchlists, but investors should be wary of any new buys and instead reducing current exposure.

Summary: I have written many presentations and blogs over the years on transforming the public sector. The public sector needs to reform its model including stronger crisis and risk management planning and analysis, creating new a compliance group that ensures all oversight agencies are free from partisan policies, governments need to learn to live within its means, all program spending should undertake a program review, taxation focus should be on tax fairness, policies should address issues like wage reform or pension reform or other reforms.

In recent years, machine learning has undoubtedly been hugely successful in driving progress in AI applications. However, as we will explore in this talk, even state-of-the-art systems have "blind spots" which make them generalize poorly out of domain and render them vulnerable to adversarial examples. We then suggest that more unsupervised learning settings can encourage the development of more robust systems. We show positive results on two tasks: (i) text style and attribute transfer, the task of converting a sentence with one attribute (e.g., sentiment) to one with another; and (ii) solving SAT instances (classical problems requiring logical reasoning) using end-to-end neural networks.

Next, I will present Dactyl, a human-like robot hand trained entirely in simulation with reinforcement learning that has achieved unprecedented dexterity on a physical robot. I will also present our results on unsupervised learning in language, that show that pre-training and finetuning can achieve a significant improvement over state of the art. Finally, I will present an overview of the historical progress in the field.

The availability of affordable electronics components, powerful embedded microprocessors, and ubiquitous internet access and WiFi in the household has enabled a new generation of connected consumer robots. In 2015, iRobot launched the Roomba 980, introducing intelligent visual navigation to its successful line of vacuum cleaning robots. In 2018, iRobot launched the Roomba i7, equipped with the latest mapping and navigation technology that provides spatial information to the broader ecosystem of connected devices in the home. In this talk, I will describe the challenges and the potential of introducing consumer robots capable of developing spatial context by exploring the physical space of the home, and I will elaborate on the impact of AI in the future of robotics applications. Moreover, I will describe our vision of the Smart Home, an AI-powered home that maintains itself and magically just does the right thing in anticipation of occupant needs. This home will be built on an ecosystem of connected and coordinated robots, sensors, and devices that provides the occupants with a high quality of life by seamlessly responding to the needs of daily living – from comfort to convenience to security to efficiency.

As the data and models scale, it becomes necessary to have multiple processing units for both training and inference. SignSGD is a gradient compression algorithm that only transmits the sign of the stochastic gradients during distributed training. This algorithm uses 32 times less communication per iteration than distributed SGD. We show that signSGD obtains free lunch both in theory and practice: no loss in accuracy while yielding speedups. Pushing the current boundaries of deep learning also requires using multiple dimensions and modalities. These can be encoded into tensors, which are natural extensions of matrices. These functionalities are available in the Tensorly package with multiple backend interfaces for large-scale deep learning.

The latest AI advances have the potential to massively improve our health and well being. However, most of the work is yet to be done. In this talk, we will explore the most important opportunities for AI in healthcare. For example, we will explore how AI can diagnose major life-threatening conditions even before those conditions emerge. We will talk about AI ability to recommend dramatically more effective and less harmful treatment plans based on AI understanding of patient's medical history and current conditions. Finally, we will talk about AI role in making our healthcare system effective and affordable for everyone.

Games have been leveraging AI since the 1950s, when people built a rules-based AI engine that played tic-tac-toe. With technological advances over the years, AI has become increasingly popular and widely used in the gaming industry. The typical characteristics of games and game development makes them an ideal playground for practicing and implementing AI techniques, especially deep learning and reinforcement learning. Most games are well scoped; it is relatively easy to generate and use the data; and states/actions/rewards are relatively clear. In this talk, I will show a couple of use cases where ML/AI helps in-game development and enhances player experience. Examples include AI agents playing game and services that provide personalized experience to players.
