Data2vec is a framework that uses the same learning method for either speech, NLP or computer vision. The core idea is to predict latent representations of the full input data based on a masked view of the input in a self-distillation setup using a standard Transformer architecture, told arXiv.

According to a post in Meta’s blog, data2vec is simplifying the different algorithms functioning by training models to predict their own representations of the input data, regardless of the modality. A single algorithm can work with completely different types of input. This removes the dependence on modality-specific targets in the learning task. Directly predicting representations is not straightforward, and it requires defining a robust normalization of the features for the task that would be reliable in different modalities.

In a revised complaint filed last August, the FTC argues that the company pursued a “buy or bury” strategy against rivals to suppress competition.

This is the FTC’s second antitrust legal challenge against the company. In June last year, a federal judge dismissed antitrust lawsuits brought against Facebook by the agency and a broad coalition of state attorneys general that were among multiplying efforts by federal and state regulators to rein in Big Tech’s market power.

This time the facts in the new suit are ‘far more robust’. US District Judge James Boasberg said that, though the “core theory” of the lawsuit — that Facebook is a monopoly engaging in anticompetitive behavior — remains unchanged, the facts alleged this time around are “far more robust and detailed than before”.

Meta said in an emailed statement it is “confident the evidence will reveal the fundamental weakness of the claims”. The company said.

“Our investments in Instagram and WhatsApp transformed them into what they are today. They have been good for competition, and good for the people and businesses that choose to use our products”.

The FTC is seeking remedies that could include a forced spinoff of Facebook’s popular Instagram and WhatsApp messaging services, or a restructuring of the company.

Google Play Console metrics can help you understand your app’s performance across growth and acquisition, engagement and monetization, quality, and churn.

You can now customize and pin the precise metrics that matter to you in a personalized KPIs section at the top of your app dashboard.

On the dashboard for any app, scroll down to the KPI section and select “choose KPIs.” You can either build your own or start with suggested KPIs for job specialities, such as Growth, Quality and Health, or Monetization.There’s an extensive list of available metrics, including our new engagement data and peer comparisons. Search filters make it easy to find just what you want, and once selected you can edit the dimensions and filters to suit your needs. Once you’ve configured a list of KPIs that suit you, you can order them to control where they appear.

You can include up to 20 KPIs, so your dashboard can be as robust or as streamlined as you want.

There are as many ways to customize your KPIs as there are people using the console. Instead of seeing default KPIs, now everyone can have a customized dashboard showing exactly the metrics that matter to their individual workflows.

Want to see for yourself? Then log into Google Play Console to try it out.

Android vitals by device type

Using the Play Console, you can view data to help you understand and improve your app’s battery usage, stability, and render time.For more information about how Android users opt in to share data, go to the Accounts Help Center.

There are several data types:

Battery usage that includes Excessive wake-ups, Stuck partial wake locks, Stuck partial wake locks (background,) Excessive background Wi-Fi scans, Excessive background network usage

Stability that includes ANR rate and Multiple ANR rate, as well as Crash rate and Multiple crash rate.

App start-up time including Slow cold start, Slow warm start, Slow hot start.

Permissions including Permission denials.

You can find and review your app’s data. The date range listed on your Android vitals page includes all available data for your app and can’t be customized. Android vitals data is based on Pacific Time (PT). To open your app’s data, you have to:

• Open the Play Console.
• Select an app.
• On the left menu, select Quality > Android vitals > Overview.
• Choose how you would like to view your app’s data.

To help you organize, segment, and analyze your data, all of your app’s data is broken down by the following dimensions:

• Artifact: Version of your app
• Android Version (SDK): Android OS version reported from the user’s device
• Device Type: The type of device used to run your app (e.g. Phone, Tablet, TV, Wearable)
• Device model: Users’ device Marketing Name and Device Name (e.g. Google Nexus 7/Flo)
• Wake lock name: Tags that were programmatically set when using the PowerManager API in your app
• Wake-up name: Tags that were programmatically set when using the AlarmManager API in your app
• ANR activity name: Fully qualified name of the activity class where the ANR occurred (if available)
• ANR type: When the ANR occurred (e.g. while executing a service) if available
