AI race and competition law: Balancing choice & innovation

stp2y0 CommentsAI
What do we mean by an AI race?The discussion on an “Artificial Intelligence race” (or AI Race as it is commonly referred to) has been the subject of continuous discussion and debate across the internet.However, the question that really needing asked is what is an “AI Race”? And if it is indeed a race, what lies at the finishing line? Is it the most advanced algorithm, a hugely beneficial customer feature, or the most cost-effective ecosystem? And where will Competition Law allow for a balance of all of these in such a fast-moving space?Before taking a deep dive, it is…

PromptCCD: Learning Gaussian Mixture Prompt Pool for Continual Category Discovery

stp2y0 CommentsViral News
arXiv:2407.19001v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We tackle the problem of Continual Category Discovery (CCD), which aims to automatically discover novel categories in a continuous stream of unlabeled data while mitigating the challenge of catastrophic forgetting -- an open problem that persists even in conventional, fully supervised continual learning. To address this challenge, we propose PromptCCD, a simple yet effective framework that utilizes a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) as a prompting method for CCD. At the core of PromptCCD lies the Gaussian Mixture Prompting (GMP) module, which acts as a dynamic pool that updates over time to facilitate representation learning and…

‘Nobody is blind to it’: mass cheating through AI puts integrity of Australian universities at risk, academics claim

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT
Australian academics say they are being pressured into passing hundreds of students suspected of plagiarism and other forms of cheating in order to maintain their universities’ revenue streams, threatening the integrity and international reputation of the entire sector.The combination of commercialised cheating and the rise of AI now threatened to devalue degrees until they were “handed out like expensive lollies”, one academic said.Guardian Australia spoke to multiple academics and students, who described wholesale use of genAI going largely unchecked at many institutions.A humanities tutor at a leading sandstone university said she was “distressed” to find more than half of her…

Understanding Memorisation in LLMs: Dynamics, Influencing Factors, and Implications

stp2y0 CommentsViral News
arXiv:2407.19262v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Understanding whether and to what extent large language models (LLMs) have memorised training data has important implications for the reliability of their output and the privacy of their training data. In order to cleanly measure and disentangle memorisation from other phenomena (e.g. in-context learning), we create an experimental framework that is based on repeatedly exposing LLMs to random strings. Our framework allows us to better understand the dynamics, i.e., the behaviour of the model, when repeatedly exposing it to random strings. Using our framework, we make several striking observations: (a) we find consistent phases of…

Wear This AI Friend Around Your Neck

stp2y0 CommentsAI, ,
The Friend gets around 15 hours of battery life and comes in an array of colors that look almost exactly like the color palette of the first Apple iMac computers. (Schiffmann says that wasn’t intentional.) The design comes from a partnership with Bould, the company that designed Nest thermostats. The Friend is available for preorder now from Friend.com (a domain Schiffmann says he paid $1.8 million for), and the devices are slated to start shipping in January 2025. They cost $99 apiece, and there is no paid subscription attached. (Yet, anyway.)If the notion of a wearable AI device makes you…

Managed PostgreSQL service provider Tembo raises $14M – SiliconANGLE

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI, ,
Tembo Data Systems Inc., operator of a PostgreSQL managed service, today said it closed a $14 million Series A funding round that brings its total financing to $20.5 million. The company says it’s developer-focused, meaning it wants to simplify the task of installing and managing PostgreSQL as well as the more than 200 extensions in its ecosystem. Tembo’s strategy is to make as many extensions as possible available using a package manager and registry it built called Trunk. The company said its service is distinguished by a commitment to open-source software. “As open-source purists, we believe that further developing the…
