Linear regression and linear-kernel ridge regression without regularization are equivalent. The kernel trick involves transforming data into a high-dimensional space without actually computing the transformation. The linear-kernel in linear regression is useless as it is equivalent to standard linear regression.
Slovakian startup CulturePulse is working with the UN to use AI to gain a better understanding of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The company uses large datasets and machine learning to build digital twins of audiences and believes the same principle can be applied to conflict zones. CulturePulse will create a digital twin of the entire conflict…
Yuga Labs has partnered with NFT marketplace Magic Eden to launch a new Ethereum-based platform that will honor creator royalties. The marketplace will use innovative smart contracts and the ERC-721 token standard to ensure artists receive their due royalties. This comes after some marketplaces, including OpenSea, decided to bypass creator fees. Yuga Labs aims to…
FANToM is a benchmark designed to test Theory of Mind (ToM) in language models (LLMs) through conversational question-answering. It assesses LLMs’ ability to understand others’ mental states and track beliefs in discussions using 10,000 questions based on multiparty conversations with information asymmetry. The evaluation results reveal that existing LLMs perform worse than humans on FANToM,…
Artificial Intelligence is rapidly transforming our world, with AI-generated images gaining credibility and chatbots becoming more advanced. Staying informed about AI developments is crucial, and finding reliable sources can be challenging. To help, a list of the top 8 AI blogs to follow is provided, including GreatAIPrompts (GAIP), OpenAI, ZDNet, The Berkeley Artificial Intelligence Research…
Boston Dynamics has integrated ChatGPT, an AI language model by OpenAI, into its robot, Spot. Spot can now give guided tours in buildings, adapt its voice and tone based on chosen personas, answer queries about images using visual data, and exhibit body language capabilities. The project demonstrates the fusion of robotics and AI and has…
A team from DGIST has developed an image translation model that can reduce data biases in AI models. The model uses spatial self-similarity loss and texture co-occurrence to generate high-quality images with consistent content and similar textures. It outperforms existing techniques in debiasing and image translation, making it useful for applications like autonomous vehicles and…
Summary: Diffusion models in machine learning are derived from the statistical concept of diffusion processes. These models describe how particles spread from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration over time. Reaction-diffusion systems are a way to explain how things change and move around, such as the mixing of paints on a piece…
FreeNoise is a new paradigm that improves pretrained video diffusion models for generating longer videos conditioned on multiple texts. It utilizes noise rescheduling and temporal attention techniques to enhance content consistency and computational efficiency. The approach also includes a motion injection method for generating videos based on multiple text prompts. Extensive experiments and a user…
Consistency models are generative models that generate high-quality data without adversarial training. They achieve this by learning from pre-trained diffusion models and utilizing metrics like LPIPS. However, the use of LPIPS introduces bias into the evaluation process. The OpenAI research team has developed innovative methods to improve consistency models, outperforming consistency distillation (CD) and mitigating…
Researchers have developed a system called DEJAVU that predicts contextual sparsity in large language models (LLMs), enabling faster inference without compromising quality. DEJAVU achieves significant reduction in token generation latency without accuracy loss compared to existing models. The system uses lightweight learning-based algorithms to accurately predict sparsity. DEJAVU shows promise in improving the efficiency of…
