Recent AI research introduced FollowNet, a benchmark for car-following behavior modeling, addressing limitations like non-standardized data and evaluation criteria. It consolidates data from five driving datasets and evaluates classic and data-driven models, aiming to reflect mixed-traffic scenarios more accurately and enhance dataset features for future algorithmic improvements.

Stability AI introduces SDXL Turbo, an AI text-to-image generator that creates images in milliseconds, updating in real-time with prompt edits. It uses Adversarial Diffusion Distillation, blending diffusion model quality and GAN speed, saving computing resources and potentially enabling live animation creation. Model resources are accessible via Hugging Face.

Engineers have developed a method to teach robots to recognize uncertainty by quantifying the vagueness of human instructions, prompting them to request clarification when necessary, such as when multiple objects are present but only one is needed.

Amazon introduced Amazon Q, an AI chatbot for workplace assistance from AWS, focusing on streamlining office tasks while prioritizing data security. Competing with Microsoft and Google, it’s priced at $20/user/month. Amazon also plans to enhance AI infrastructure in partnership with Nvidia.

The Nordic AI Summit in Oslo will showcase how Norwegian business leaders utilize AI for company transformation. The event includes expert talks, such as by Simplifai’s Erik Leung, and discussions on practical AI applications, aiming to bridge the understanding between engineers and decision-makers. Networking opportunities with key AI figures are also highlighted.

Improve code efficiency with these five language-agnostic methods: extract loop-invariants to reduce CPU cycles; use enums instead of strings for state representation to avoid errors and enhance performance; replace conditional statements with algebraic or boolean operations when possible; utilize memoization to store function outputs for repeated calls; and select the optimal data structure for your…

Scientists from universities in Victoria and Copenhagen applied AI to the Free Ocean Wave Dataset, successfully predicting rogue waves using a neural network. Employing symbolic regression, they derived an equation revealing the causal factors of these waves, aiding forecasts and enhancing maritime safety.

Researchers from various universities in China and Hong Kong developed GS-SLAM, a 3D Gaussian-based SLAM system, to balance accuracy with efficiency. It uses innovative rendering and adaptive strategies to enhance pose tracking, demonstrating competitive performance on standard datasets. GS-SLAM offers improvements in dense visual SLAM, but faces challenges with memory usage and dependency on high-quality…

Seoul National University researchers have advanced AI in art by training an AI agent to create authentic collages via reinforcement learning. Their model eschews pixel-based methods for a process that mirrors human techniques, showing promise in crafting AI-generated art with depth and creativity as confirmed by user studies and CLIP-based assessments.
