Nightshade is a new tool developed by a team at the University of Chicago that allows artists to add invisible changes to their art’s pixels, undermining AI models trained on scraped artwork. This data-poisoning technique aims…

Dense 3D reconstruction from RGB images typically assumes fixed camera positions, even for mobile devices. However, this assumption doesn’t apply when poses are dynamic (e.g., updated through bundle adjustment and loop closure). While this has been…

Researchers from MIT have developed a new method called CONSENSUS GAME to improve language model (LM) decoding processes. It combines generative and discriminative approaches to extract the best estimate of truth from contradicting signals. The game-theoretic…

Two friends, Salvatore Aiello and Monica Powers, met at an online event and created an AI tool called DimeADozen. They spent $185 to make it and sold it for $150,000. Even after selling it, they continue…

NYC Mayor Eric Adams is using AI-generated deepfake technology to make automated robocalls to his city’s residents. The AI creates audio of Adams speaking in various languages, allowing him to reach a wider audience. While practical,…

IBM Research’s lab in California has developed the NorthPole chip, which could accelerate the realization of AI on the edge. The chip, with 256 cores and its own memory, eliminates the need for off-chip memory, making…

Researchers have developed OmniControl, a diffusion-based human generation model that incorporates spatial control signals over any joint at any given time. This model addresses the limitations of previous techniques in integrating variable spatial control signals, allowing…

Researchers from the Australian National University, the University of Oxford, and the Beijing Academy of AI have developed an AI system called “3D-GPT” that can generate 3D environments based on text prompts. The system breaks down…

Researchers are finding that ChatGPT, OpenAI’s advanced language model, can provide useful feedback as an alternative to human reviewers in the peer review process. In a study, over 50% of ChatGPT’s comments on Nature papers and…

Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) has revolutionized open-domain question answering by using a retrieval module to find relevant context passages and a generative module to provide answers. However, vector search, one of the critical components, has limitations…

Summary: The French association Data for Good released a white paper examining the environmental impact of language models. ChatGPT’s monthly usage emits 10,000 tons of CO2, equivalent to 0.1% of the yearly carbon footprint of individuals…

This article explains how to use Numexpr expressions in multidimensional Numpy arrays to optimize performance. It provides code examples and compares the performance of the Numexpr implementation with a for loop implementation. The Numexpr version shows…

This text provides guidance on how to navigate immediate reporting requests in the field of data analytics. It emphasizes the importance of leveraging existing metrics, establishing boundaries for recurring requests, reflecting on stakeholders’ needs, anticipating future…

An Analytics Engineer is responsible for transforming raw data into a format that can be used by Data Analysts to create reports and dashboards. They bridge the gap between Data Engineers and Analysts, allowing Data Engineers…

Google Cloud has reaffirmed its commitment to its customers by integrating Duet AI and Vertex AI into their suite of products. They have also addressed the legal risks associated with generative AI by providing a two-pronged…

FastEmbed is a Python library that generates text embeddings. It eliminates the need for a co-occurrence matrix by using a random projection technique to map words into a high-dimensional space. It offers significant speed improvements compared…

The research introduces VeRA, a novel method that reduces the number of trainable parameters for language models while maintaining performance levels. By focusing on all linear layers and utilizing quantization techniques and a cleaned dataset, VeRA…

A report by Oxford University Press reveals that nearly 49% of teachers feel unprepared for the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on education. They call for more assistance in preparing students for an AI-driven future. The…

The Vision Language Model (VLM) is an advanced AI system that combines natural language understanding with image recognition. Researchers from Google have developed a new model called PaLI-3, which outperforms larger models in tasks like localization…
