Shares of Denver-based software provider Palantir rose nearly 27% on February 4 following 2024 fourth quarter results featuring faster-than-expected growth and an optimistic forecast for the current quarter and the year 2025.

Having risen 368% in the last year and sporting a price-earnings ratio of 516, according to the Wall Street Journal, do shares of Palantir have more upside? If Wall Street analysts are right, the stock is about 26% too high. However, what matters most for the future of Palantir’s stock is whether the company can keep beating expectations and raising guidance.

That could happen – especially if Palantir – which counts Peter Thiel among the company’s early investors – can harness artificial intelligence to make its defense and commercial customers better off.

Palantir fourth quarter performance and prospects.

Tu et al. demonstrate that the unique integration of a convolutional neural network with an empirical model measured for an optical scattering system can unscramble the scattering and see through the opaque medium in an untrained fashion, featured as a deep empirical neural network.

Recent advances in the fields of human-infrastructure interaction, electronic engineering, robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) have opened new possibilities for the development of assistive and medical technologies. These include devices that can assist individuals with both physical and cognitive disabilities, supporting them throughout their daily activities.

Researchers at the University of Michigan recently developed CoNav, a smart controlled via a Robot Operating System (ROS) based framework. The new wheelchair, presented in a paper on the arXiv preprint server, could help to improve the quality of life of individuals who are temporarily or permanently unable to walk, allowing them to move in their surroundings more intuitively and autonomously.

“The inspiration for this work stems from a broader challenge in assistive mobility for people with disabilities (PWD),” Vineet Kamat, senior author of the paper, told Tech Xplore.

With an assist from the NEID spectrograph, a team of astronomers have confirmed the existence of exoplanet Gaia-4b—one of the most massive planets known to orbit a low-mass star. Gaia-4b is also the first planet detected by the European Space Agency’s Gaia spacecraft using the astrometric technique.

NEID is a high-precision radial-velocity spectrograph that is designed to measure the extremely minute wobble of using the radial velocity effect. This effect results from the mutual gravitational force between a planet and its which causes the star’s position to shift very slightly as the planet travels around it. With this powerful capability, one of NEID’s main science goals is to confirm exoplanet candidates found by other exoplanet missions.

NEID is mounted on the WIYN 3.5-meter Telescope at the U.S. National Science Foundation Kitt Peak National Observatory (KPNO), a program of NSF NOIRLab.

OpenAI on Thursday said the U.S. National Laboratories will be using its latest artificial intelligence models for scientific research and nuclear weapons security.

Under the agreement, up to 15,000 scientists working at the National Laboratories may be able to access OpenAI’s reasoning-focused o1 series. OpenAI will also work with Microsoft, its lead investor, to deploy one of its models on Venado, the supercomputer at Los Alamos National Laboratory, according to a release. Venado is powered by technology from Nvidia and Hewlett-Packard Enterprise.
