Researchers discovered that language models like GPT-3.5 Turbo could inadvertently reveal their training data when prompted to repeat simple words, leaking sensitive content, personal information, and copyrighted material. The technique, known as a divergence attack, had a success rate of 3% and poses a significant security risk. Companies have been notified, with the web version…

Pika Labs, an AI video generator startup, has caused a stir with its product, Pika 1.0, leading to a stock increase for Sunyard Technology, a firm with familial ties to co-founder Demi Guo. The startup raised $55 million and aims to democratize video creation, despite broader industry challenges.

Developed by an international research team, PepCNN is a deep learning model that predicts protein-peptide binding with higher accuracy than previous tools. Using structural, sequence, and language model features, it excels in specificity, precision, and AUC metrics for better drug discovery and understanding protein-peptide interactions. Further improvements are planned using DeepInsight technology.

NeRF models scenes in 3D and learns from various viewpoints to create photorealistic images. Researchers from Sungkyunkwan University improved efficiency with a mask strategy, reducing memory requirements and increasing speed. Point-based rendering enhancements and ongoing research promise to further advance realistic 3D applications. Credit goes to the researchers and is shared via various online AI…

Researchers released MediTron, an open-source medical LLM suite with 7B and 70B parameter variants, excelling in benchmarks and tailored for tasks like medical QA. It uses an extensive medical dataset for training but requires further testing before clinical deployment to ensure safety.

Microsoft researchers developed MAIRA-1, a model combining a chest X-ray-specific image encoder with a fine-tuned language model to generate accurate radiology reports. It leverages data augmentation and evaluation metrics tailored to clinical relevance to improve report quality. Future enhancements may include incorporating study histories to reduce inaccuracies.

Researchers from Northeastern University, MIT, and an independent researcher developed Concept Sliders for text-to-image diffusion models, allowing fine-grained image control and editing. This method enables manipulation of visual concepts that are usually hard to describe in words and offers a practical, disentangling solution for more precise image customization through open-source code and trained sliders.

Artists seeking copyright infringement claims against Stability AI and others have refiled their lawsuit with seven additional plaintiffs. The original case was dismissed, but Judge William Orrick allowed for an amended resubmission. The updated lawsuit uses comments by Stability AI’s CEO and concerns over derivative works and AI’s use of copyrighted data to bolster its…
