• Meet ULTRA: A Pre-Trained Foundation Model for Knowledge Graph Reasoning that Works on Any Graph and Outperforms Supervised SOTA Models on 50+ Graphs

    ULTRA is a model for learning universal and transferable graph representations for knowledge graphs. It can generalize to any KG with different entity and relation vocabularies, and it outperforms specialized baselines in link prediction experiments. ULTRA’s performance is enhanced through pre-training and fine-tuning, making it suitable for inductive and transferable KG reasoning. Future work includes…

  • Dissecting the landmark White House executive order on AI

    President Joe Biden has issued a comprehensive executive order on AI governance aimed at ensuring transparency and standardization in the industry.

  • How to Keep Foundation Models Up to Date with the Latest Data? Researchers from Apple and CMU Introduce the First Web-Scale Time-Continual (TiC) Benchmark with 12.7B Timestamped Img-Text Pairs for Continual Training of VLMs

    Researchers from Apple and Carnegie Mellon University have developed a benchmark called TIC-DataComp to train foundation models like OpenAI’s CLIP models continuously. They found that starting training at the most recent checkpoint and replaying historical data delivers performance on par with an Oracle while being 2.7 times more computationally efficient. The findings highlight the need…

  • SAG-AFTRA strike drags on with lack of agreement over AI

    Despite some progress in the SAG-AFTRA strike negotiations, unresolved issues remain, including the use of AI in recreating performers’ likeness and revenue sharing with streaming platforms. The strike has continued for 109 days, with uncertainty surrounding its end date. Negotiations between SAG-AFTRA and industry producers are ongoing. The Writer’s Guild of America has already secured…

  • ChatGPT’s accounting skills are put to the test

    ChatGPT has shown impressive performance in various disciplines, but it struggles with math. While it has performed well in exams like medical and law schools, it falls short in accounting. A study conducted by Professor David Wood revealed that ChatGPT scored 47.4% on accounting exams, significantly lower than humans’ average score of 76.7%. LLMs like…
