Computomics raises €6.3M to scale climate-smart plant breeding

Tech.eu 1 month ago 9

Computomics, a German agritech company, raised €6.3 million in Series B funding to expand its machine learning platform that helps plant breeders predict crop performance under different climate conditions. The round was led by Convent Capital Agri Food Fund with €5 million, supported by existing investors and EU funding. The capital will accelerate commercial deployment of its ×SeedScore platform and related breeding tools across field crops, vegetables, and other varieties.

A Specialized Semismooth Newton Method for Kernel-Based Optimal Transport

Apple Machine Learning Research 1 month ago 31

A specialized semismooth Newton method is proposed to solve kernel-based optimal transport problems more efficiently than the short-step interior-point method used by existing estimators. Each SSN iteration is made significantly cheaper in practice, and the method is shown to converge globally at O(1/√k). This reduces computation time enough to deliver substantial speedups on synthetic and real datasets, making the kernel-based OT estimators more scalable to larger sample sizes.
