arXiv:2408.04220v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Current language models demonstrate remarkable proficiency in text generation. However, for many applications it is desirable to control attributes, such as sentiment, or toxicity, of the generated language -- ideally tailored towards each specific use case and target audience. For auto-regressive language models, existing guidance methods are prone to decoding errors that cascade during generation and degrade performance. In contrast, text diffusion models can easily be guided with, for example, a simple linear sentiment classifier -- however they do suffer from significantly higher perplexity than auto-regressive alternatives. In this paper we use a guided diffusion…

(KT-Stock-photos/Shutterstock) The rise of AI, including large language models (LLMs) and AI-powered agents, has dramatically reshaped the field of offensive security – a branch of cybersecurity focused on proactively identifying and exploiting security vulnerabilities in systems to improve overall security defense.  Cloud Security Alliance (CSA), the world’s leading organization dedicated to promoting best practices for ensuring a secure cloud computing environment, has released a groundbreaking paper titled Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Offensive Security.  The report explores the transformation potential of integrating LLM-powered AI into offensive security. It highlights the current challenges and illustrates AI’s capability across five key security…

The advantages of accurate customer segmentation are clear for businesses of all shapes and sizes, but for budget-conscious startups and SMEs, the marketing ROI for technology-driven campaigns can't be overstated.  Statistically speaking, 77% of marketing ROI comes from segmented, targeted, and triggered campaigns, while  77% of marketing ROI comes from segmented, targeted, and triggered campaigns, while non-targeted campaigns show a 50% lower click-through rate (CTR) than segmented campaigns.  However, accurate segmentation can be a challenge in itself for small businesses. On the one hand, creating focused customer segments can help optimize spending on marketing campaigns for the ideal customer profile, but on…

In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, the intersection of data and artificial intelligence (AI) has become a critical focus for organizations across industries. According to Foundry's recent CIO Tech Poll, IT leaders have overwhelmingly placed AI-enabled solutions at the top of their investment list for 2024, with only 8% expressing no interest in generative AI. This surge in AI prioritization underscores the need for a deeper understanding of how data and AI can work together to drive innovation and business value.To explore this crucial topic, we recently hosted a panel discussion featuring industry experts from Informatica, Immuta, and Dataiku. The…
