Perform fully customizable rolling aggregations | Deephaven

Deephaven's version 0.33 release introduced several new features and improvements. Two methods that have the potential to save users a lot of time are the new Rolling Formula update_by operations: rolling_formula_tick and rolling_formula_time. These operations support user-defined formulas, which can be used to calculate rolling aggregations over a specified window of rows or time. Support for user-defined formulas opens up a whole new world of versatility for update_by. This is exciting for a few reasons.First of all, support for user-defined formulas opens up a whole new world of versatility for update_by. Rather than being limited to a single update_by operation,…

‘Legitimately dangerous’: Google’s erroneous AI Overviews spark mockery, concern

‘Legitimately dangerous’: Google’s erroneous AI Overviews spark mockery, concern

Join us in returning to NYC on June 5th to collaborate with executive leaders in exploring comprehensive methods for auditing AI models regarding bias, performance, and ethical compliance across diverse organizations. Find out how you can attend here. Should you add glue to your pizza, stare directly at the sun for 30 minutes per day, eat rocks or a poisonous mushroom, treat a snake bite with ice, and jump off the Golden Gate Bridge? According to information served up through Google Search’s new “AI Overview” feature, these obviously stupid and harmful suggestions are not only good ideas, but the top…

AI poised to usher in new level of concierge services to the public

AI poised to usher in new level of concierge services to the public

Concierge services built on artificial intelligence have the potential to improve how hotels and other service businesses interact with customers, a new paper suggests. In the first work to introduce the concept, researchers have outlined the role an AI concierge, a technologically advanced assistant, may play in various areas of the service sector as well as the different forms such a helper might embody. Their paper envisions a virtual caretaker that, by combining natural language processing, behavioral data and predictive analytics, would anticipate a customer's needs, suggest certain actions, and automate routine tasks without having to be explicitly commanded to…

Auto Industry Bets on SDVs, Hesitant to Write Off ICE – EE Times

Auto Industry Bets on SDVs, Hesitant to Write Off ICE – EE Times

//php echo do_shortcode('[responsivevoice_button voice="US English Male" buttontext="Listen to Post"]') ?> The auto industry converged in London, U.K., again last week for the annual FT Future of the Car conference, now in its 10th year. The agenda reflected the long cycles of the automotive industry—many of the topics of discussion were similar to what was discussed last year. The themes were clear: we’re moving toward a future of software-defined vehicles (SDVs), of embodied AI in vehicles, and EVs are not the only game in town to solve net-zero targets. What was new this year was the acknowledgement of China being a…

UAE unveils new AI model to rival big tech giants

UAE unveils new AI model to rival big tech giants

The UAE is making big waves by launching a new open-source generative AI model. This step, taken by a government-backed research institute, is turning heads and marking the UAE as a formidable player in the global AI race. In Abu Dhabi, the Technology Innovation Institute (TII) unveiled the Falcon 2 series. As reported by Reuters, this series includes Falcon 2 11B, a text-based model, and Falcon 2 11B VLM, a vision-to-language model capable of generating text descriptions from images. TII is run by Abu Dhabi’s Advanced Technology Research Council. As a major oil exporter and a key player in the Middle East, the UAE is investing heavily in…

Multiscale Vision Transformer for Video Recognition

Multiscale Vision Transformer for Video Recognition

Vision transformers are already good at multiple tasks like image recognition, object detection, and semantic segmentation. However, we can also apply them to data with temporal information like videos. One such use case is using Vision Transformers for video classification. To this end, in this article, we will go over the important parts of the Multiscale Vision Transformer (MViT) paper and also carry out inference using the pretraining model. Figure 1. An example output after passing a bowling video through the Multiscale Vision Transformer model. Although there are several models for this, the Multiscale Vision Transformer model stands out for…

The long path of JavaScript – from ES6 until today.

The long path of JavaScript – from ES6 until today.

According to a Stack Overflow survey, JavaScript was the most popular language among developers in 2023. JavaScript was initially developed for Netscape Navigator - a web browser that was developed in the middle of 1990s - and now is being used in almost every domain of programming - Web Development, Mobile app development, Game development, Machine Learning and many others. But how did a language which was developed in 10 days by Brendan Eich become so popular? In this article, we will go through the life of JavaScript from ES6, which was released in 2015 and was the second major…

Another OpenAI Researcher Quits, Issuing Cryptic Warning

"One of the ways tech companies in general can disempower those seeking to hold them accountable..."Another OneAnother OpenAI researcher left the company this week, ominously citing concerns over opaque "decision-making processes" in the AI industry.In a thread posted this week to X-formerly-Twitter, former OpenAI policy researcher Gretchen Kreuger announced her departure, writing that this "was not an easy decision to make." And while the ex-OpenAIer didn't quite go into detail — can't imagine why not! — about the forces that made her make that difficult choice, she did offer a cryptic warning about the lack of oversight within the AI…
