Video Anomaly Detection in 10 Years: A Survey and Outlook

Video Anomaly Detection in 10 Years: A Survey and Outlook

arXiv:2405.19387v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Video anomaly detection (VAD) holds immense importance across diverse domains such as surveillance, healthcare, and environmental monitoring. While numerous surveys focus on conventional VAD methods, they often lack depth in exploring specific approaches and emerging trends. This survey explores deep learning-based VAD, expanding beyond traditional supervised training paradigms to encompass emerging weakly supervised, self-supervised, and unsupervised approaches. A prominent feature of this review is the investigation of core challenges within the VAD paradigms including large-scale datasets, features extraction, learning methods, loss functions, regularization, and anomaly score prediction. Moreover, this review also investigates the vision language…

Microsoft is testing Game Pass ads on the Settings homepage – gHacks Tech News

Look, another advertising test in Windows 11. Microsoft launched a new build to the Windows 11 Insider Dev channel on Friday. Windows 11 build 26120.470 fixes issues for the most part. It is delivered via KB5037864 and rolled out gradually to all test systems, even if get the latest updates as soon as possible is checked. Microsoft notes that the update "includes a small set of general improvements and fixes" designed to "improve the overall experience for Insiders". Game Pass recommendation ad One of the improvements recommends, Microsoft's words, the subscription service Game Pass. Windows 11 testers who open the…

Vitech uses Amazon Bedrock to revolutionize information access with AI-powered chatbot | Amazon Web Services

This post is co-written with Murthy Palla and Madesh Subbanna from Vitech. Vitech is a global provider of cloud-centered benefit and investment administration software. Vitech helps group insurance, pension fund administration, and investment clients expand their offerings and capabilities, streamline their operations, and gain analytical insights. To serve their customers, Vitech maintains a repository of information that includes product documentation (user guides, standard operating procedures, runbooks), which is currently scattered across multiple internal platforms (for example, Confluence sites and SharePoint folders). The lack of a centralized and easily navigable knowledge system led to several issues, including: Low productivity due to…

Gartner Predicts Worldwide Chip Revenue Will Gain 33% in 2024

Gartner Predicts Worldwide Chip Revenue Will Gain 33% in 2024

It’s no secret the AI accelerator business is hot today, with semiconductor manufacturers spinning up neural processing units, and the AI PC initiative driving more powerful processors into laptops, desktops and workstations. Gartner studied the AI chip industry and found that, in 2024, worldwide AI chip revenue is predicted to grow by 33%. Specifically, the Gartner report “Forecast Analysis: AI Semiconductors, Worldwide” detailed competition between hyperscalers (some of whom are developing their own chips and calling on semiconductor vendors), the use cases for AI chips, and the demand for on-chip AI accelerators. “Longer term, AI-based applications will move out of…

Adaptive In-conversation Team Building for Language Model Agents

Adaptive In-conversation Team Building for Language Model Agents

arXiv:2405.19425v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Leveraging multiple large language model (LLM) agents has shown to be a promising approach for tackling complex tasks, while the effective design of multiple agents for a particular application remains an art. It is thus intriguing to answer a critical question: Given a task, how can we build a team of LLM agents to solve it effectively? Our new adaptive team-building paradigm offers a flexible solution, realized through a novel agent design named Captain Agent. It dynamically forms and manages teams for each step of a task-solving process, utilizing nested group conversations and reflection to…

Two artificial intelligences talk to each other

Two artificial intelligences talk to each other

Performing a new task based solely on verbal or written instructions, and then describing it to others so that they can reproduce it, is a cornerstone of human communication that still resists artificial intelligence (AI). A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) has succeeded in modelling an artificial neural network capable of this cognitive prowess. After learning and performing a series of basic tasks, this AI was able to provide a linguistic description of them to a ''sister'' AI, which in turn performed them. These promising results, especially for robotics, are published in Nature Neuroscience. Performing a new task…

Atlas3D: Physically Constrained Self-Supporting Text-to-3D for Simulation and Fabrication

arXiv:2405.18515v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Existing diffusion-based text-to-3D generation methods primarily focus on producing visually realistic shapes and appearances, often neglecting the physical constraints necessary for downstream tasks. Generated models frequently fail to maintain balance when placed in physics-based simulations or 3D printed. This balance is crucial for satisfying user design intentions in interactive gaming, embodied AI, and robotics, where stable models are needed for reliable interaction. Additionally, stable models ensure that 3D-printed objects, such as figurines for home decoration, can stand on their own without requiring additional supports. To fill this gap, we introduce Atlas3D, an automatic and easy-to-implement…

Google Admits Its AI Overviews Search Feature Screwed Up

Google Admits Its AI Overviews Search Feature Screwed Up

When bizarre and misleading answers to search queries generated by Google’s new AI Overview feature went viral on social media last week, the company issued statements that generally downplayed the notion the technology had problems. Late Thursday, the company’s head of search Liz Reid admitted the flubs had highlighted areas that needed improvement, writing that “we wanted to explain what happened and the steps we’ve taken.”Reid’s post directly referenced two of the most viral, and wildly incorrect, AI Overview results. One saw Google's algorithms endorse eating rocks because doing so “can be good for you,” and the other suggested using…
