Computer scientists have created AntiFake, a protective tool against unauthorized speech synthesis for voice recordings.
Hybrid search is a technique that combines traditional keyword-based search with modern vector search to improve the relevance of search results. It can be beneficial for text-search use cases where both keyword matching and semantic search are important. By fusing the search results from both techniques, hybrid search can enhance the performance of a RAG…
Former Google and Uber engineer Anthony Levandowski is relaunching his Way of the Future (WOTF) church, aiming to help people develop a “spiritual connection” with artificial intelligence (AI). Levandowski believes AI has the potential to bring about a version of “Heaven on Earth” and fulfill expectations similar to those of traditional religions. The church was…
An article introduces a new pre-training strategy called Privacy-Preserving MAE-Align (PPMA) for action recognition models. It addresses privacy, ethics, and bias challenges by combining synthetic data and human-removed real data. PPMA improves the transferability of learned representations to diverse action recognition tasks and reduces the performance gap between models trained with and without human-centric data.…
