People Are Using AI to Turn Memes Into Videos and It’s Low Key Terrifying

Freaky!Yeah 360An AI video tool called Dream Machine, developed by the company Luma Labs, transforms still images into moving pictures. As it should, the internet quickly started using the AI to turn famous memes into videos — and a fair share of the results are nothing short of nightmare fuel.Behold, for example, the first clip in this compilation of horrors, as shared to the subreddit r/aivideo. It's an AI-zombified video created from the famous "disaster girl" meme, in which a young girl is seen giving the camera a smirking, chaotic look as a house burns behind her.In the original meme,…

73 celebrities who don’t identify as either straight or gay

73 celebrities who don’t identify as either straight or gay

Frank Ocean's song "Chanel" has been widely interpreted as a "bisexual anthem." Frank Ocean attends the 2019 Met Gala. Charles Sykes/Invision/AP Ocean famously shared an open letter about his sexuality mere days before his debut album, 2012's "Channel Orange," was set to drop."4 summers ago, I met somebody. I was 19 years old. He was too," he wrote on Tumblr. "By the time I realized I was in love, it was malignant. It was hopeless. There was no escaping, no negotiating with the feeling. No choice. It was my first love. It changed my life."That same year, Ocean declined to…

Competitive Algorithms for Online Knapsack with Succinct Predictions

Competitive Algorithms for Online Knapsack with Succinct Predictions

[Submitted on 26 Jun 2024] View a PDF of the paper titled Competitive Algorithms for Online Knapsack with Succinct Predictions, by Mohammadreza Daneshvaramoli and 5 other authors View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:In the online knapsack problem, the goal is to pack items arriving online with different values and weights into a capacity-limited knapsack to maximize the total value of the accepted items. We study textit{learning-augmented} algorithms for this problem, which aim to use machine-learned predictions to move beyond pessimistic worst-case guarantees. Existing learning-augmented algorithms for online knapsack consider relatively complicated prediction models that give an algorithm substantial information about the…

Pre-Trained Vision-Language Models as Partial Annotators

Pre-Trained Vision-Language Models as Partial Annotators

arXiv:2406.18550v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Pre-trained vision-language models learn massive data to model unified representations of images and natural languages, which can be widely applied to downstream machine learning tasks. In addition to zero-shot inference, in order to better adapt pre-trained models to the requirements of downstream tasks, people usually use methods such as few-shot or parameter-efficient fine-tuning and knowledge distillation. However, annotating samples is laborious, while a large number of unlabeled samples can be easily obtained. In this paper, we investigate a novel "pre-trained annotating - weakly-supervised learning" paradigm for pre-trained model application and experiment on image classification tasks.…

AI enhances breast cancer screening efficiency

AI enhances breast cancer screening efficiency

A recent study featured in the journal Radiology presents a compelling view on the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in enhancing breast cancer screening. The study, conducted by researchers from the University of Copenhagen alongside the Capital Region of Denmark's program, illustrates a notable increase in the detection rates of breast cancer cases coupled with a reduced workload for radiologists.AI boosts detection and reduces false positivesThe research focused on implementing AI in breast cancer screening over nearly three years. It revealed that combining AI and expert breast radiologists significantly improves breast cancer detection rates while simultaneously reducing false positives. This…

FFN: a Fine-grained Chinese-English Financial Domain Parallel Corpus

FFN: a Fine-grained Chinese-English Financial Domain Parallel Corpus

arXiv:2406.18856v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have stunningly advanced the field of machine translation, though their effectiveness within the financial domain remains largely underexplored. To probe this issue, we constructed a fine-grained Chinese-English parallel corpus of financial news called FFN. We acquired financial news articles spanning between January 1st, 2014, to December 31, 2023, from mainstream media websites such as CNN, FOX, and China Daily. The dataset consists of 1,013 main text and 809 titles, all of which have been manually corrected. We measured the translation quality of two LLMs -- ChatGPT and ERNIE-bot, utilizing BLEU, TER…

Lego made bricks out of meteorite dust and they’re on display at select stores

Lego made bricks out of meteorite dust and they’re on display at select stores

There are plenty of Lego sets that feature astronauts, but now there are Lego bricks made out of the stuff that astronauts find out there in the void. The Danish brickmaker (ESA) to make Lego pieces from actual meteorite dust. Pretty cool, right? They are on display at until September 20, including the big 5th Avenue branch in Manhattan.This project isn’t just for giggles, though it is pretty fun. It’s a proof of concept to show how astronauts could use moondust to build lunar structures. Consider the sheer amount of energy and money required to haul up building materials from…

Nextiva vs RingCentral (2024): Which One is Best for Your Business?

Nextiva vs RingCentral (2024): Which One is Best for Your Business?

Nextiva and RingCentral are two of the best VoIP phone systems on the market. Both VoIP solutions are reputable, reliable and provide similar business communications solutions, which makes it tough to choose between these options. I typically recommend Nextiva just ahead of RingCentral for most businesses because it’s a better value and easier to use for smaller teams; however, RingCentral is still an excellent pick, especially for larger companies with advanced needs. Read on to see if Nextiva or RingCentral is right for you in this head-to-head comparison.
