Video auto-dubbing using Amazon Translate, Amazon Bedrock, and Amazon Polly | Amazon Web Services

This post is co-written with MagellanTV and Mission Cloud.  Video dubbing, or content localization, is the process of replacing the original spoken language in a video with another language while synchronizing audio and video. Video dubbing has emerged as a key tool in breaking down linguistic barriers, enhancing viewer engagement, and expanding market reach. However, traditional dubbing methods are costly (about $20 per minute with human review effort) and time consuming, making them a common challenge for companies in the Media & Entertainment (M&E) industry. Video auto-dubbing that uses the power of generative artificial intelligence (generative AI) offers creators an…

Announcing the General Availability of Serverless Compute for Notebooks, Workflows and Delta Live Tables

Announcing the General Availability of Serverless Compute for Notebooks, Workflows and Delta Live Tables

We are excited to announce the General Availability of serverless compute for notebooks, jobs and Delta Live Tables (DLT) on AWS and Azure. Databricks customers already enjoy fast, simple and reliable serverless compute for Databricks SQL and Databricks Model Serving. The same capability is now available for all ETL workloads on the Data Intelligence Platform, including Apache Spark and Delta Live Tables. You write the code and Databricks provides rapid workload startup, automatic infrastructure scaling and seamless version upgrades of the Databricks Runtime. Importantly, with serverless compute you are only billed for work done instead of time spent acquiring and…

Google In Talks To Buy Cyber Startup Wiz For $23B — Report

Google In Talks To Buy Cyber Startup Wiz For $23B — Report

The somewhat stagnant M&A market may be about to get a jumpstart. One of its biggest ever involving a venture capital-backed startup. Alphabet, the parent company of Google, is reportedly in advanced talks to acquire cybersecurity startup Wiz for approximately $23 billion. The deal, which would be Google’s largest ever, was first reported in The Wall Street Journal. In fact, the deal would be the largest ever for a VC-backed company, according to Crunchbase data. It is even bigger than Adobe’s ill-fated $20 billion deal to acquire design unicorn Figma in 2022 — a deal that fell through after facing…

PAIL: Performance based Adversarial Imitation Learning Engine for Carbon Neutral Optimization

PAIL: Performance based Adversarial Imitation Learning Engine for Carbon Neutral Optimization

arXiv:2407.08910v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Achieving carbon neutrality within industrial operations has become increasingly imperative for sustainable development. It is both a significant challenge and a key opportunity for operational optimization in industry 4.0. In recent years, Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) based methods offer promising enhancements for sequential optimization processes and can be used for reducing carbon emissions. However, existing DRL methods need a pre-defined reward function to assess the impact of each action on the final sustainable development goals (SDG). In many real applications, such a reward function cannot be given in advance. To address the problem, this study…

Manipulating a Tetris-Inspired 3D Video Representation

[Submitted on 11 Jul 2024] View a PDF of the paper titled Manipulating a Tetris-Inspired 3D Video Representation, by Mihir Godbole View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:Video Synopsis is a technique that performs video compression in a way that preserves the activity in the video. This technique is particularly useful in surveillance and monitoring applications. Although it is still a nascent field of research, there have been several approaches proposed over the last two decades varying with the application, optimization type, nature of data feed, etc. The primary data required for these algorithms arises from some sort of object tracking method.…

ChatGPT in education: breakthrough or disruptive innovation?

ChatGPT in education: breakthrough or disruptive innovation?

In November 2022, the UN symbolically declared that the 8 billionth human being had been born in Manilla, Philippines, thus adding to the 2,3 billion children already living in the world. Another event happened the same month, one that will likely have a huge impact upon the education and upbringing of all these children: ChatGPT was launched on 30 November 2022, revolutionising education for the best according to some, destroying its very possibility for others. Disruptive innovation vs breakthrough innovation Beyond value judgments, generative AI have led philosophers of technology and innovation scholars to debate whether ChatGPT amounts to a disruption in education. The…

Large Language Models as Biomedical Hypothesis Generators: A Comprehensive Evaluation

Large Language Models as Biomedical Hypothesis Generators: A Comprehensive Evaluation

arXiv:2407.08940v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The rapid growth of biomedical knowledge has outpaced our ability to efficiently extract insights and generate novel hypotheses. Large language models (LLMs) have emerged as a promising tool to revolutionize knowledge interaction and potentially accelerate biomedical discovery. In this paper, we present a comprehensive evaluation of LLMs as biomedical hypothesis generators. We construct a dataset of background-hypothesis pairs from biomedical literature, carefully partitioned into training, seen, and unseen test sets based on publication date to mitigate data contamination. Using this dataset, we assess the hypothesis generation capabilities of top-tier instructed models in zero-shot, few-shot, and…
