Teams often make worse decisions than individuals because they rely too heavily on widely understood data and ignore information possessed by only a few team members. Research has consistently shown that teams spend too much time discussing information they all already know, leading to poor decision-making.
Chatbots and AI are often seen as human-like, with users treating them as companions. This anthropomorphism has a functional role, as users believe AI will perform better, and a connection role, to enhance the user experience. A usability study of ChatGPT identified two new behaviors for managing length and detail: accordion editing and apple picking.
Researchers have developed ScaleCrafter, a method that enables the generation of ultra-high-resolution images using pre-trained diffusion models. By dynamically adjusting the convolutional receptive field, ScaleCrafter addresses issues like object repetition and incorrect object topologies. It also introduces innovative strategies like dispersed convolution and noise-damped classifier-free guidance. The method has been successfully applied to a text-to-video…
Jupyter Notebooks are widely used in Python-based Data Science projects. Several magic commands enhance the notebook experience. These commands include “%%ai” for conversing with machine learning models, “%%latex” for rendering mathematical expressions, “%%sql” for executing SQL queries, “%run” for running external Python files, “%%writefile” for quick file creation, and “%history -n” for retrieving previous commands.…
The Curse of Dimensionality refers to the challenges that arise in machine learning when dealing with problems that involve thousands or millions of dimensions. This can lead to skewed interpretations of data and inaccurate predictions. Dimensionality reduction techniques, such as Principal Component Analysis (PCA), can help mitigate these challenges by reducing the number of features…
Meesho, an ecommerce company in India, has developed a generalized feed ranker (GFR) using AWS machine learning services to personalize product recommendations for users. The GFR considers browsing patterns, interests, and other factors to optimize the user experience. Meesho used Amazon EMR with Apache Spark for model training and SageMaker for model deployment. The implementation…

Habitat 3.0 allows robots and virtual humans to complete tasks in a digital environment, providing a safer and faster alternative to real-world training. FAIR also released the Habitat Synthetic Scenes Dataset (HSSD-200)…
China’s Zhipu AI, a startup founded by a professor from Tsinghua University, has raised 2.5 billion yuan ($340 million) in funding. The company has released a bilingual AI model, ChatGLM-6B, that understands Chinese and English, as well as a larger open-source model, the GLM-130B. Zhipu AI aims to compete with global AI giants and has…
Google recently introduced a search feature called Search Generative Experience (SGE), which uses generative AI to provide summarized answers to search queries. While Google aims to improve user experience, media publishers are concerned about the lack of credit and compensation for their content. SGE’s summaries sometimes use information from publishers’ websites without proper accreditation. Publishers…

Baidu claims Ernie Bot matches GPT-4. AI can extract personal data from chat interactions, while AI companies struggle with transparency and alignment guardrails. AI aids in…
ChatGPT, the popular AI tool, has gained significant popularity. While the free version, ChatGPT 3.5, has limitations, there are ways to access the ChatGPT Plus (GPT-4) version for free. Options include using Bing AI Chat, Hugging Face Spaces, Poe AI, Phind, and Ora AI. Each platform has its own usage restrictions and features.
Large language models, such as GPT, have shown exceptional performance in text-related tasks. However, efforts are being made to teach them how to comprehend and use other forms of information, such as sounds and images. Microsoft researchers have developed DeepSpeed-VisualChat, an advanced framework that enhances multi-modal capabilities and scalability in dialogue systems. The framework uses…
Recent advancements in human motion capture have made it possible to capture motion from RGB photos and films using affordable devices. This opens up opportunities for motion capture in various industries, including sports. However, there are challenges in using computer vision-based motion capture for swimming due to the unique nature of aquatic data. Researchers have…
Companies are increasingly using user-generated images and videos for engagement, but managing inappropriate content can be a challenge. Amazon Rekognition offers pre-trained and customizable AI capabilities for content moderation.

The text discusses the HyperHuman framework for generating hyper-realistic human images. It utilizes a large dataset and a Latent Structural Diffusion Model to improve image quality and coherence. The framework demonstrates superior performance and robustness compared to previous models. Future research can explore text-to-pose generation using deep priors.
A study published in Intelligent Computing introduces a new method called edge-sensitive single-pixel imaging (ESI) for detecting object edges even when obtaining clear images through standard optical methods is challenging due to factors like severe light pollution. The ESI method extracts edge information by illuminating an object with carefully crafted modulation patterns, bypassing the need…
