PushPull-Net: Inhibition-driven ResNet robust to image corruptions

PushPull-Net: Inhibition-driven ResNet robust to image corruptions

[Submitted on 7 Aug 2024] View a PDF of the paper titled PushPull-Net: Inhibition-driven ResNet robust to image corruptions, by Guru Swaroop Bennabhaktula and 2 other authors View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:We introduce a novel computational unit, termed PushPull-Conv, in the first layer of a ResNet architecture, inspired by the anti-phase inhibition phenomenon observed in the primary visual cortex. This unit redefines the traditional convolutional layer by implementing a pair of complementary filters: a trainable push kernel and its counterpart, the pull kernel. The push kernel (analogous to traditional convolution) learns to respond to specific stimuli, while the pull kernel…

Zero-shot Factual Consistency Evaluation Across Domains

Zero-shot Factual Consistency Evaluation Across Domains

arXiv:2408.04114v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This work addresses the challenge of factual consistency in text generation systems. We unify the tasks of Natural Language Inference, Summarization Evaluation, Factuality Verification and Factual Consistency Evaluation to train models capable of evaluating the factual consistency of source-target pairs across diverse domains. We rigorously evaluate these against eight baselines on a comprehensive benchmark suite comprising 22 datasets that span various tasks, domains, and document lengths. Results demonstrate that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance on this heterogeneous benchmark while addressing efficiency concerns and attaining cross-domain generalization.

My grandmother just turned 95, and she’s still thriving. Here are her 3 secrets to longevity.

My grandmother just turned 95, and she’s still thriving. Here are her 3 secrets to longevity.

My maternal grandmother, Theresa "Terry" Grady, just celebrated her 95th birthday in June. To say she's an inspiration is an understatement. When my four younger siblings and I were younger, we always thought our grandmother was a "cool" grandma.She wasn't like other grandmothers because she wore colorful bubble dresses, which were trendy at the time, and threw lavish parties with my grandfather at the lake house they lived in for most of our childhood. Looking back on her wonderful life, it's easy to see what has helped her thrive well into her 90s.Family is everything to herGrowing up, every friend…

Microsoft Says Iranian Hackers Targeted US Political Campaigns

Microsoft Says Iranian Hackers Targeted US Political Campaigns

A hacking group linked to the Iranian government tried to breach the email accounts of presidential campaign staffers as part of a wider effort to gather intelligence ahead of the US election, Microsoft Corp. said Friday.Attackers connected to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in June used a compromised email address from a former political adviser to try phishing another high-ranking presidential campaign official, according to findings from Microsoft’s Threat Analysis Center. That group, which Microsoft calls Mint Sandstorm, also unsuccessfully attempted to log in to the account of a former presidential candidate. The report didn’t identify the individual targets by…

Deep Generative Models for Subgraph Prediction

Deep Generative Models for Subgraph Prediction

[Submitted on 7 Aug 2024] View a PDF of the paper titled Deep Generative Models for Subgraph Prediction, by Erfaneh Mahmoudzadeh and 3 other authors View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) are important across different domains, such as social network analysis and recommendation systems, due to their ability to model complex relational data. This paper introduces subgraph queries as a new task for deep graph learning. Unlike traditional graph prediction tasks that focus on individual components like link prediction or node classification, subgraph queries jointly predict the components of a target subgraph based on evidence that is represented…

AEye: A Visualization Tool for Image Datasets

[Submitted on 7 Aug 2024] View a PDF of the paper titled AEye: A Visualization Tool for Image Datasets, by Florian Gr"otschla and 3 other authors View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:Image datasets serve as the foundation for machine learning models in computer vision, significantly influencing model capabilities, performance, and biases alongside architectural considerations. Therefore, understanding the composition and distribution of these datasets has become increasingly crucial. To address the need for intuitive exploration of these datasets, we propose AEye, an extensible and scalable visualization tool tailored to image datasets. AEye utilizes a contrastively trained model to embed images into semantically…

Tenways AGO-T is a well-equipped, but heavy e-bike

Tenways AGO-T is a well-equipped, but heavy e-bike

There’s a problem with most e-bikes, which is that you’ll never find one that does every job perfectly. A city cruiser with no grunt will leave you stranded when you reach an incline while a beefy cargo bike can haul gear, but it’s too big for commuting. Tenways’ AGO-T has tried to square many of these circles by sticking almost too much power onto a Dutch-style step-thru frame.It’s marketed as a bike for city living, but for cities where you’re not just dealing with flat, well paved roads. It’s got a beefy motor and battery, giving it enough power to…
