MLLM as Video Narrator: Mitigating Modality Imbalance in Video Moment Retrieval

MLLM as Video Narrator: Mitigating Modality Imbalance in Video Moment Retrieval

arXiv:2406.17880v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Video Moment Retrieval (VMR) aims to localize a specific temporal segment within an untrimmed long video given a natural language query. Existing methods often suffer from inadequate training annotations, i.e., the sentence typically matches with a fraction of the prominent video content in the foreground with limited wording diversity. This intrinsic modality imbalance leaves a considerable portion of visual information remaining unaligned with text. It confines the cross-modal alignment knowledge within the scope of a limited text corpus, thereby leading to sub-optimal visual-textual modeling and poor generalizability. By leveraging the visual-textual understanding capability of multi-modal…

YouTube reportedly wants to pay record labels to use their songs for AI training

YouTube reportedly wants to pay record labels to use their songs for AI training

Much of the conversation about AI has revolved around the use of copyrighted materials to train models. YouTube is allegedly taking steps to avoid this issue, offering major musical labels payment to license their songs for AI training, the Financial Times reports.Sony Music Entertainment, Universal Music Group and Warner Records are all reportedly involved in talks with the Google-owned platform. However, it's unlikely the companies will get the last word as it would reportedly be up to each artist whether they participate.Many musicians are far from thrilled about allowing AI anywhere near their work. In April 2023, over 200 artists…

Robotics Startups On The Rise In 2024

Robotics Startups On The Rise In 2024

So far, 2024 is shaping up as a not-so-shabby year for robotics startup funding. Developers of workplace robots, robotic surgery technologies, and even humanoid models have all raised large rounds in the past six months. The artificial intelligence funding boom has also helped boost the space, with investors backing big deals at the intersection of AI and robotics. Altogether, robotics startups have pulled in over $4.2 billion in seed through growth-stage financing this year, per Crunchbase data. That puts funding on track to exceed last year’s muted levels, albeit still below its cyclical peak, as illustrated below. Workplace robots Where’s…

AI Search: 5 New Ways to Search the Web

AI Search: 5 New Ways to Search the Web

Emerging AI-based search systems often leverage large language models to generate explanations, consolidate content from multiple sources or cogently summarize a selected web page. The AI search systems covered below vary as to when they deliver LLM-aided results (ranging from only when you request it to every time) and how much control you have over whether AI is used at all (ranging from no control to quite customizable search settings). Reader beware: The main issue with LLMs is the content may not always be 100% accurate. So go ahead and explore each of the five search systems listed, but make…

Monaco is the world’s most expensive place to rent. A monthly budget of $30K will get you a 1,200-square-foot apartment.

Monaco is the world’s most expensive place to rent. A monthly budget of $30K will get you a 1,200-square-foot apartment.

The May analysis looked at the top 1% of residential properties measuring about 1,100 square feet across different cities, and found that those in Monaco start at about $19,350 a month.According to the analysis, the starting price in Monaco to rent a 1,100-square-foot apartment is 36% higher than in Hong Kong, the second most expensive city, followed by Singapore and London.Per Forbes, the average national rent price in the US is about $1,400 a month.The Journal noted that larger luxury rentals in Monaco can easily surpass $100,000 a month, and reach as high as $280,000.These often come with hotel-style amenities,…

AI for the prediction of early stages of Alzheimer’s disease from neuroimaging biomarkers — A narrative review of a growing field

AI for the prediction of early stages of Alzheimer’s disease from neuroimaging biomarkers — A narrative review of a growing field

arXiv:2406.17822v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Objectives: The objectives of this narrative review are to summarize the current state of AI applications in neuroimaging for early Alzheimer's disease (AD) prediction and to highlight the potential of AI techniques in improving early AD diagnosis, prognosis, and management. Methods: We conducted a narrative review of studies using AI techniques applied to neuroimaging data for early AD prediction. We examined single-modality studies using structural MRI and PET imaging, as well as multi-modality studies integrating multiple neuroimaging techniques and biomarkers. Furthermore, they reviewed longitudinal studies that model AD progression and identify individuals at risk of…
