The rise of AI-generated voices on TikTok is causing concern as it facilitates the spread of misinformation. For example, an AI-generated voice sounding like former President Barack Obama defended himself against a baseless theory. This trend is not limited to politics but also includes false claims about celebrities and various topics. Companies and experts are…

PB-LLM is an innovative approach for extreme low-bit quantization in Large Language Models (LLMs) while preserving language reasoning capabilities. It strategically filters salient weights during binarization, introduces post-training quantization (PTQ) and quantization-aware training (QAT) methods, and offers accessible code for further exploration. This advancement contributes significantly to LLM network binarization.

Researchers from Princeton University and Meta AI have developed MEMWALKER, a new method for analyzing lengthy texts. MEMWALKER breaks down the text into manageable segments, condenses the information from each segment, and constructs a tree structure. This approach allows for rapid processing of texts and the identification of crucial information without user fine-tuning. MEMWALKER outperformed…

Meta is using its Prophet package to enhance time series machine learning models.

Luke Farritor, a computer science student at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, has used machine learning to decipher a carbonized scroll from ancient Herculaneum that was previously unreadable. His algorithm identified Greek letters on the papyrus, including the word “purple.” This breakthrough could revolutionize our understanding of ancient history and literature. AI is also being used…

DiffPoseTalk is a pioneering solution in the field of speech-driven expression animation. It uses diffusion models to generate realistic facial animations and head poses based on spoken language input. The system incorporates a speaking style encoder to capture the unique style of each individual. DiffPoseTalk excels in generating diverse and natural-looking animations by approximating the…
