Exploiting the Semantic Knowledge of Pre-trained Text-Encoders for Continual Learning

Exploiting the Semantic Knowledge of Pre-trained Text-Encoders for Continual Learning

arXiv:2408.01076v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deep neural networks (DNNs) excel on fixed datasets but struggle with incremental and shifting data in real-world scenarios. Continual learning addresses this challenge by allowing models to learn from new data while retaining previously learned knowledge. Existing methods mainly rely on visual features, often neglecting the rich semantic information encoded in text. The semantic knowledge available in the label information of the images, offers important semantic information that can be related with previously acquired knowledge of semantic classes. Consequently, effectively leveraging this information throughout continual learning is expected to be beneficial. To address this, we…

Safari beta lets you selectively block distractions like pop-ups

Safari beta lets you selectively block distractions like pop-ups

Ahead of the full release of iOS 18, iPadOS 18, macOS Sequoia and more, Apple continues to bring updates to the betas it's made available to early testers. Today, the company has dropped the fifth developer beta to those platforms, and with it comes a few changes to Safari and Photos. Specifically, Apple's browser is getting some tools that could make surfing today's cluttered and overwhelming web pages a lot less distracting, with something called Distraction Control.Is Safari's Distraction Control an ad blocker?To be clear, this isn't intended to be an ad blocker. It's for parts of a page that…

SoftBank to Log Slim Profit Ahead of Masayoshi Son’s Next AI Bet

SoftBank to Log Slim Profit Ahead of Masayoshi Son’s Next AI Bet

SoftBank Group Corp. is likely to report a small profit, an indication of how past mistakes continue to weigh on the company even as billionaire founder Masayoshi Son prepares his next big AI bet.Emerging from a month of sharp selloffs, the Tokyo-based investment firm on Wednesday is expected to report a net income of ¥1 billion ($6.9 million) for the June quarter, according to the average of three analysts polled. That compares with a big loss of ¥477.6 billion a year ago, but is tiny compared with profits in the preceding two quarters, attesting to the continued drag from hundreds…

IBB Traffic Graph Data: Benchmarking and Road Traffic Prediction Model

IBB Traffic Graph Data: Benchmarking and Road Traffic Prediction Model

arXiv:2408.01016v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Road traffic congestion prediction is a crucial component of intelligent transportation systems, since it enables proactive traffic management, enhances suburban experience, reduces environmental impact, and improves overall safety and efficiency. Although there are several public datasets, especially for metropolitan areas, these datasets may not be applicable to practical scenarios due to insufficiency in the scale of data (i.e. number of sensors and road links) and several external factors like different characteristics of the target area such as urban, highways and the data collection location. To address this, this paper introduces a novel IBB Traffic graph…

Amodal Segmentation for Laparoscopic Surgery Video Instruments

Amodal Segmentation for Laparoscopic Surgery Video Instruments

arXiv:2408.01067v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Segmentation of surgical instruments is crucial for enhancing surgeon performance and ensuring patient safety. Conventional techniques such as binary, semantic, and instance segmentation share a common drawback: they do not accommodate the parts of instruments obscured by tissues or other instruments. Precisely predicting the full extent of these occluded instruments can significantly improve laparoscopic surgeries by providing critical guidance during operations and assisting in the analysis of potential surgical errors, as well as serving educational purposes. In this paper, we introduce Amodal Segmentation to the realm of surgical instruments in the medical field. This technique…

CrowdStrike says Delta’s woes aren’t its fault after massive IT outage

CrowdStrike has taken a lot of flak over the that brought much of the planet's computer systems to a halt last month. One thing that the company isn't for though is .Delta CEO Ed Bastian the company had "no choice" but to seek damages. The airline canceled more than 5,000 flights and said it was looking at a cost of over $500 million in lost revenue and compensation to passengers.New: CrowdStrike accuses Delta of creating a “misleading narrative that CrowdStrike is responsible for Delta’s IT decisions and response to the outage.” Letter from CrowdStrike’s outside counsel: pic.twitter.com/OMD3iY6U9M— David Slotnick (@David_Slotnick)…
