Researchers from Peking University have introduced KnowGen, a method for generating new knowledge by modifying existing entity attributes and relationships. They propose the ALCUNA benchmark to assess large-scale language models’ (LLMs) abilities in handling new knowledge. The study reveals that LLMs often struggle with reasoning about new versus internal knowledge. The researchers emphasize caution when…

Sir Nick Clegg, President of Global Affairs at Meta, emphasized that the UK AI Safety Summit should prioritize the risks posed by generative AI in upcoming elections over speculative AI risks. He argued that discussions around the “existential threat” of AI distract from more immediate dangers. Clegg also cautioned against stifling AI development with excessive…

NVIDIA has released a groundbreaking research paper demonstrating how generative artificial intelligence (AI) can revolutionize semiconductor design. The study reveals that large language models (LLMs) can benefit specialized fields like chip design. NVIDIA’s custom LLM called ChipNeMo, developed using the NVIDIA NeMo framework, has already shown promising results in tasks like software generation and bug…

Federal judge William Orrick dismissed the majority of the copyright infringement claims brought by three artists against Stability AI, Midjourney, and DeviantArt. The claims were based on the use of the artists’ work to train AI models. Two artists dropped their claims due to lack of copyright registration. The judge ruled that the claims were…

MetaCLIP is a new approach for data curation that outperforms OpenAI’s CLIP on multiple benchmarks. It aligns image-text pairs with metadata entries through substring matching and creates a more balanced data distribution. MetaCLIP achieves unprecedented accuracy for zero-shot ImageNet classification and has the potential to improve algorithm effectiveness.

This article discusses the potential of using hexagon maps for data analysis. Hexagon maps provide a balanced geometry for better regional comparisons and improved territorial coverage. The article provides a step-by-step explanation of how to create hexagonal maps in Python, utilizing the H3 and Plotly libraries. The example used in the article is visualizing the…

The research introduces DALL-E 3, an AI text-to-image generation model that aims to improve spatial awareness, text rendering, and specificity in generated images. The OpenAI team proposes a training approach that combines synthetic and ground-truth captions to enhance the model’s image generation capabilities. The study highlights the role of advanced language models in refining textual…

A BBC report by two young reporters explores the role of AI in education. Students shared their experiences, with some using ChatGPT to simplify assignments while others admitted to using it to cheat. The report highlighted the need for a balanced approach to AI usage and the importance of teaching students how to use it…

Microsoft is facing criticism from The Guardian for an AI-generated poll that accompanied a news story about a woman’s death. The poll prompted users to speculate on the cause of her death, with options including murder, suicide, and accident. The incident has raised concerns about Microsoft’s AI-driven content production, following previous controversies and errors. The…

Apple researchers have introduced a novel deep learning-based technique for online 3D reconstruction using dynamically-posed RGB images. They have developed a dataset called LivePose and proposed a recurrent de-integration module to handle pose changes in reconstruction. The technique offers qualitative and quantitative improvements in reconstruction measures. Their work aims to mimic real-world environments for mobile…
