Brave has unveiled Leo, its native AI assistant, designed to enhance user privacy and improve AI interactions. Leo responds to user queries based on visited webpages and does not collect conversations or track users. Leo Premium, a paid service, offers more structured responses and additional features. Leo is currently available in Brave 1.6 for desktop,…

Researchers have created a virtual reality app that allows users to open and control 3D modeling tools simply by moving their hand.

In the context of voice assistant systems, steering is when users issue follow-up commands to direct or clarify previous turns. We propose STEER, a model that detects whether a follow-up turn is the user attempting to steer the previous command. To train the model, we created heuristic rules to sample usage data without annotations, overcoming…

EELBERT is an approach for compressing transformer-based models like BERT while preserving accuracy in downstream tasks. It replaces the input embedding layer with dynamic embedding computations, reducing model size. Evaluations on the GLUE benchmark demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach.

QB-GPT is a model that can generate football plays based on provided elements. It aims to recreate plays from minimal information to understand how player setups and contextual elements affect team paths on the field. The model uses data from the Next Gen Stats (NGS) tool of the NFL and relies on the GPT architecture.…

The development of MetNet-3 represents a significant breakthrough in meteorological research, addressing challenges in weather forecasting. This comprehensive neural network model integrates various data sources, such as radar data and satellite images, to generate precise and high-resolution weather predictions. With advanced techniques like topographical embeddings and model parallelism, MetNet-3 has the potential to revolutionize the…

Steak-umm’s latest advertising campaign involved confronting a group of vegans with deepfake videos of them enjoying meat. While the vegans initially reacted angrily, they eventually supported the campaign’s goal of highlighting the impact of deepfakes. Steak-umm hopes the campaign will attract meat eaters and also raises awareness for the proposed Deep Fakes Accountability Act, which…

Machine learning (ML) is increasingly important across industries, but there is a gap between business expectations and what engineers and data scientists can deliver. The first step to close this gap is fostering honest dialogue between teams and then democratizing ML across the organization. Companies can enable collaboration between technical and non-technical teams, provide the…

Samsung Electronics held the Samsung AI Forum 2023 to discuss generative AI and its impact on daily life and work. Samsung Research introduced its generative AI model, Samsung Gauss, highlighting the company’s commitment to this technology. Industry and academic leaders shared insights on large language models, multimodal AI technology, and graduate students presented groundbreaking research.…
