Diversifying Query: Region-Guided Transformer for Temporal Sentence Grounding

Diversifying Query: Region-Guided Transformer for Temporal Sentence Grounding

arXiv:2406.00143v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Temporal sentence grounding is a challenging task that aims to localize the moment spans relevant to a language description. Although recent DETR-based models have achieved notable progress by leveraging multiple learnable moment queries, they suffer from overlapped and redundant proposals, leading to inaccurate predictions. We attribute this limitation to the lack of task-related guidance for the learnable queries to serve a specific mode. Furthermore, the complex solution space generated by variable and open-vocabulary language descriptions exacerbates the optimization difficulty, making it harder for learnable queries to distinguish each other adaptively. To tackle this limitation, we…

StarTree broadly enhances Apache Pinot-based analytics platform – SiliconANGLE

StarTree Inc., a startup commercializing the open-source Apache Pinot real-time data analytics platform, is adding new observability and anomaly detection capabilities to its managed service along with vector search functionality for Pinot. Apache Pinot is an open-source, distributed, real-time analytics engine originally developed by LinkedIn Inc. It’s designed to handle large-scale, low-latency data ingestion and querying and can execute complex analytical queries in real time. It’s highly regarded for efficiency and speed. StarTree ThirdEye, a real-time anomaly detection and root cause analysis application, is now generally available. It provides automated, multi-dimensional metric monitoring to identify the root causes of problems,…

Large Language Models’ Detection of Political Orientation in Newspapers

Large Language Models’ Detection of Political Orientation in Newspapers

arXiv:2406.00018v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Democratic opinion-forming may be manipulated if newspapers' alignment to political or economical orientation is ambiguous. Various methods have been developed to better understand newspapers' positioning. Recently, the advent of Large Language Models (LLM), and particularly the pre-trained LLM chatbots like ChatGPT or Gemini, hold disruptive potential to assist researchers and citizens alike. However, little is know on whether LLM assessment is trustworthy: do single LLM agrees with experts' assessment, and do different LLMs answer consistently with one another? In this paper, we address specifically the second challenge. We compare how four widely employed LLMs rate…

The 5 best cordless vacuums for 2024

The 5 best cordless vacuums for 2024

Old-school vacuums left a lot to be desired, and cordless vacuum cleaners are here to right many of those wrongs. The latest models tend to be thinner, lighter and easy to maneuver around a home, and you don’t really have to sacrifice suction power anymore to get those benefits. Dyson isn’t your only option anymore either — like the robot vacuum space, there are dozens of cordless vacuums to choose from today. Variety is great, but it can also lead to decision fatigue and confusion. We at Engadget can help make that decision a bit easier. After testing a bunch…

No, you can’t buy Berkshire stock at a 99% discount — the stock exchange glitched

No, you can’t buy Berkshire stock at a 99% discount — the stock exchange glitched

The New York Stock Exchange said it will cancel trades made after a glitch caused trading halts for 40 stocks on Monday morning — including Berkshire Hathaway, which appeared to trade at a 99% discount.Class A shares of the Warren Buffett company appeared to trade at $185.10 per share before a trading halt kicked in. Trading can be paused before a news event, due to regulatory concerns, or if a stock moves outside certain price bands, which is what happened to Berkshire Hathaway.A handful of trades took place at the discounted price in the minute before the halt started, according…

Arbitrary Length Generalization for Addition

Arbitrary Length Generalization for Addition

arXiv:2406.00075v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper introduces a novel training methodology that enables a small Transformer model to generalize the addition of two-digit numbers to numbers with unseen lengths of digits. The proposed approach employs an autoregressive generation technique, processing from right to left, which mimics a common manual method for adding large numbers. To the best of my knowledge, this methodology has not been previously explored in the literature. All results are reproducible, and the corresponding R code is available at: url{https://github.com/AGPatriota/ALGA-R/}. Source link lol

Advancing Ear Biometrics: Enhancing Accuracy and Robustness through Deep Learning

Advancing Ear Biometrics: Enhancing Accuracy and Robustness through Deep Learning

arXiv:2406.00135v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Biometric identification is a reliable method to verify individuals based on their unique physical or behavioral traits, offering a secure alternative to traditional methods like passwords or PINs. This study focuses on ear biometric identification, exploiting its distinctive features for enhanced accuracy, reliability, and usability. While past studies typically investigate face recognition and fingerprint analysis, our research demonstrates the effectiveness of ear biometrics in overcoming limitations such as variations in facial expressions and lighting conditions. We utilized two datasets: AMI (700 images from 100 individuals) and EarNV1.0 (28,412 images from 164 individuals). To improve the…
