Supporting the next generation of AI leaders

We’re partnering with six education charities and social enterprises in the United Kingdom (UK) to co-create a bespoke education programme to help tackle the gaps in STEM education and boost existing programmes through funding, volunteering, and the development of new AI resources.Access to STEM education remains a challenge for many young people in the UK, especially those from underrepresented backgrounds. Research shows that 38% of schools do not offer GCSE computer science at all, and many schools, mostly situated in disadvantaged areas, do not enrol students in triple science subjects (physics, biology, and chemistry) - limiting opportunities to study science…

Optimizing the Optimal Weighted Average: Efficient Distributed Sparse Classification

stp2y0 CommentsViral News
arXiv:2406.01753v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While distributed training is often viewed as a solution to optimizing linear models on increasingly large datasets, inter-machine communication costs of popular distributed approaches can dominate as data dimensionality increases. Recent work on non-interactive algorithms shows that approximate solutions for linear models can be obtained efficiently with only a single round of communication among machines. However, this approximation often degenerates as the number of machines increases. In this paper, building on the recent optimal weighted average method, we introduce a new technique, ACOWA, that allows an extra round of communication to achieve noticeably better approximation…

Finding Lottery Tickets in Vision Models via Data-driven Spectral Foresight Pruning

stp2y0 CommentsViral News
arXiv:2406.01820v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advances in neural network pruning have shown how it is possible to reduce the computational costs and memory demands of deep learning models before training. We focus on this framework and propose a new pruning at initialization algorithm that leverages the Neural Tangent Kernel (NTK) theory to align the training dynamics of the sparse network with that of the dense one. Specifically, we show how the usually neglected data-dependent component in the NTK's spectrum can be taken into account by providing an analytical upper bound to the NTK's trace obtained by decomposing neural networks…

Towards Effective Time-Aware Language Representation: Exploring Enhanced Temporal Understanding in Language Models

stp2y0 CommentsViral News
arXiv:2406.01863v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In the evolving field of Natural Language Processing, understanding the temporal context of text is increasingly crucial. This study investigates methods to incorporate temporal information during pre-training, aiming to achieve effective time-aware language representation for improved performance on time-related tasks. In contrast to common pre-trained models like BERT, which rely on synchronic document collections such as BookCorpus and Wikipedia, our research introduces BiTimeBERT 2.0, a novel language model pre-trained on a temporal news article collection. BiTimeBERT 2.0 utilizes this temporal news collection, focusing on three innovative pre-training objectives: Time-Aware Masked Language Modeling (TAMLM), Document Dating…

YouTube is putting new age restrictions on gun videos

stp2y0 CommentsNews, , , , ,
YouTube quietly snuck in a policy change that will age-restrict some gun-related videos and bar others altogether. Content featuring homemade and automatic firearms will be banned for viewers under 18, while tutorials for removing safety devices will be prohibited regardless of age. The new policy will take effect on June 18.“Starting June 18, 2024, certain content showing how to remove safety devices will be prohibited,” a disclaimer on YouTube’s firearms policy page now reads. “Content showing the use of homemade firearms, automatic firearms, and certain firearm accessories will be age restricted.”In a statement to Engadget, YouTube spokesperson Javier Hernandez wrote,…

Detect email phishing attempts using Amazon Comprehend | Amazon Web Services

stp2y0 CommentsAI
Phishing is the process of attempting to acquire sensitive information such as usernames, passwords and credit card details by masquerading as a trustworthy entity using email, telephone or text messages. There are many types of phishing based on the mode of communication and targeted victims. In an Email phishing attempt, an email is sent as a mode of communication to group of people. There are traditional rule-based approaches to detect email phishing. However, new trends are emerging that are hard to handle with a rule-based approach. There is need to use machine learning (ML) techniques to augment rule-based approaches for…

This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Jo Merrett. It has been edited for length and clarity.My son and daughter, now 21 and 18, were always very close to my parents when they grew up.Mom and Dad were always around, playing with the children and helping out with babysitting. It was lovely to see their bond.Dad is no longer alive, but Mom is still a hands-on grandmother. She often steps in to watch my niece and nephew, aged 16 and 13.I'd love to be the same involved grandma once my kids start their own families. But, due to…
