AI revolution in US education: How Chinese apps are leading the way

The success of Chinese AI education applications like Question.AI and Gauth in the US market comes at a time of fierce competition within China, where over 200 large language models—critical for generative AI services like ChatGPT—have been developed. As of March, more than half of these received approval from Chinese authorities for public release. Faced with a saturated domestic market, more Chinese app developers are now setting their sights on Western markets, including the US. The South China Morning Post reported that Chinese AI apps have swiftly gained traction in the US, particularly in the education sector. Applications like Question.AI, owned by…

How Costco became the king of bulk buying starting out selling only to businesses out of an old airplane hangar

Costco is a wholesale club that sells a wide range of products and services to fee-paying members. Founded in 1983 in Seattle, Washington, the company built off a concept pioneered by earlier stores. Costco made $237.7 billion in revenue last year and is the third-largest retailer in the world. Thanks for signing up!

Explorative Imitation Learning: A Path Signature Approach for Continuous Environments

Explorative Imitation Learning: A Path Signature Approach for Continuous Environments

arXiv:2407.04856v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Some imitation learning methods combine behavioural cloning with self-supervision to infer actions from state pairs. However, most rely on a large number of expert trajectories to increase generalisation and human intervention to capture key aspects of the problem, such as domain constraints. In this paper, we propose Continuous Imitation Learning from Observation (CILO), a new method augmenting imitation learning with two important features: (i) exploration, allowing for more diverse state transitions, requiring less expert trajectories and resulting in fewer training iterations; and (ii) path signatures, allowing for automatic encoding of constraints, through the creation of…

A genetic algorithm for phononic crystals

A genetic algorithm for phononic crystals

Researchers tested phononic nanomaterials designed with an automated genetic algorithm that responded to light pulses with controlled vibrations. This work may help in the development of next-generation sensors and computer devices. The advent of quantum computers promises to revolutionize computing by solving complex problems exponentially more rapidly than classical computers. However, today's quantum computers face challenges such as maintaining stability and transporting quantum information. Phonons, which are quantized vibrations in periodic lattices, offer new ways to improve these systems by enhancing qubit interactions and providing more reliable information conversion. Phonons also facilitate better communication within quantum computers, allowing the interconnection…

MJ-Bench: Is Your Multimodal Reward Model Really a Good Judge for Text-to-Image Generation?

MJ-Bench: Is Your Multimodal Reward Model Really a Good Judge for Text-to-Image Generation?

arXiv:2407.04842v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While text-to-image models like DALLE-3 and Stable Diffusion are rapidly proliferating, they often encounter challenges such as hallucination, bias, and the production of unsafe, low-quality output. To effectively address these issues, it is crucial to align these models with desired behaviors based on feedback from a multimodal judge. Despite their significance, current multimodal judges frequently undergo inadequate evaluation of their capabilities and limitations, potentially leading to misalignment and unsafe fine-tuning outcomes. To address this issue, we introduce MJ-Bench, a novel benchmark which incorporates a comprehensive preference dataset to evaluate multimodal judges in providing feedback for…

Automating Venture Capital: Founder assessment using LLM-powered segmentation, feature engineering and automated labeling techniques

Automating Venture Capital: Founder assessment using LLM-powered segmentation, feature engineering and automated labeling techniques

arXiv:2407.04885v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This study explores the application of large language models (LLMs) in venture capital (VC) decision-making, focusing on predicting startup success based on founder characteristics. We utilize LLM prompting techniques, like chain-of-thought, to generate features from limited data, then extract insights through statistics and machine learning. Our results reveal potential relationships between certain founder characteristics and success, as well as demonstrate the effectiveness of these characteristics in prediction. This framework for integrating ML techniques and LLMs has vast potential for improving startup success prediction, with important implications for VC firms seeking to optimize their investment strategies.…
