stp2y0 CommentsRAG models

Mental health funding has been as hot as the weather the past few weeks. Spring Health became the latest startup in the sector to raise big, locking up a $100 million Series E at a $3.3 billion valuation — a 65% increase from the $2 billion valuation it received in 2021 after a $190 million in Series C. The new round was led by Generation Investment Management, with participation from existing investors including Kinnevik, The William K Warren Foundation, RRE Ventures and Northzone. Founded in 2016, the company has raised nearly $467 million, per Crunchbase. New York-based Spring Health partners…

Contrastive Feedback Mechanism for Simultaneous Speech Translation

stp2y0 CommentsViral News

arXiv:2407.20524v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advances in simultaneous speech translation (SST) focus on the decision policies that enable the use of offline-trained ST models for simultaneous inference. These decision policies not only control the quality-latency trade-off in SST but also mitigate the impact of unstable predictions on translation quality by delaying translation for more context or discarding these predictions through stable hypothesis detection. However, these policies often overlook the potential benefits of utilizing unstable predictions. We introduce the contrastive feedback mechanism (CFM) for SST, a novel method that leverages these unstable predictions as feedback to improve translation quality. CFM…

Lures and violent threats: old school cheating still rampant at Australian universities, even as AI rises

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT

Kane Murdoch’s job takes him, his colleagues and his family to some frightening places.“A comment … threatened to gang rape my wife and decapitate me,” he wrote on his blog in April. Members of his team and their families had also been threatened with violence as a direct result of their work, he said.Murdoch is not a police officer or a private investigator, but the head of complaints, appeals and misconduct at an Australian university.The threats came, he said, as a result of action that thwarted criminal gangs running schemes offering to complete assignments for students on a commercial basis…

Gemma Scope: helping the safety community shed light on the inner workings of language models

stp2y0 CommentsNews

Technologies Published 31 July 2024 Authors Language Model Interpretability team Announcing a comprehensive, open suite of sparse autoencoders for language model interpretability.To create an artificial intelligence (AI) language model, researchers build a system that learns from vast amounts of data without human guidance. As a result, the inner workings of language models are often a mystery, even to the researchers who train them. Mechanistic interpretability is a research field focused on deciphering these inner workings. Researchers in this field use sparse autoencoders as a kind of ‘microscope’ that lets them see inside a language model, and get a better sense…

‘Pulsating’ mechanized assaults in Ukraine may reflect the limit of Russia’s offensive abilities, war analysts say

stp2y0 CommentsRAG models

Russian forces conducted a series of mechanized assaults in eastern Ukraine this week, fighting with a mixture of armored combat vehicles and infantry in different locations to try and break through Kyiv's defensive lines.Conflict analysts say these armored assaults are constrained to specific areas and may reflect the limits of Moscow's offensive power and inability to execute a large-scale, multi-directional offensive operation.Russian forces carried out several mechanized assaults in the Donetsk region over the past few days along different directions of the front line, but these sporadic efforts appeared limited in their effectiveness.One such attempt saw Moscow commit 10 tanks…

Balancing innovation and trust: Experts assess the EU’s AI Act

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT

As the EU’s AI Act prepares to come into force tomorrow, industry experts are weighing in on its potential impact, highlighting its role in building trust and encouraging responsible AI adoption. Curtis Wilson, Staff Data Engineer at Synopsys’ Software Integrity Group, believes the new regulation could be a crucial step in addressing the AI industry’s most pressing challenge: building trust. “The greatest problem facing AI developers is not regulation, but a lack of trust in AI,” Wilson stated. “For an AI system to reach its full potential, it needs to be trusted by the people who use it.” This sentiment…

NeuSemSlice: Towards Effective DNN Model Maintenance via Neuron-level Semantic Slicing

stp2y0 CommentsViral News

arXiv:2407.20281v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deep Neural networks (DNNs), extensively applied across diverse disciplines, are characterized by their integrated and monolithic architectures, setting them apart from conventional software systems. This architectural difference introduces particular challenges to maintenance tasks, such as model restructuring (e.g., model compression), re-adaptation (e.g., fitting new samples), and incremental development (e.g., continual knowledge accumulation). Prior research addresses these challenges by identifying task-critical neuron layers, and dividing neural networks into semantically-similar sequential modules. However, such layer-level approaches fail to precisely identify and manipulate neuron-level semantic components, restricting their applicability to finer-grained model maintenance tasks. In this work, we…
