AI is cracking a hard problem – giving computers a sense of smell

AI is cracking a hard problem – giving computers a sense of smell

Over 100 years ago, Alexander Graham Bell asked the readers of National Geographic to do something bold and fresh – “to found a new science.” He pointed out that sciences based on the measurements of sound and light already existed. But there was no science of odor. Bell asked his readers to “measure a smell.” Today, smartphones in most people’s pockets provide impressive built-in capabilities based on the sciences of sound and light: voice assistants, facial recognition and photo enhancement. The science of odor does not offer anything comparable. But that situation is changing, as advances in machine olfaction, also…

Tesla accuses advisory firm of ‘scaremongering’ after it urged investors to vote against Musk’s pay package

Tesla was quick to fire back at Glass Lewis after the advisory firm encouraged shareholders to vote against the company's $55 billion compensation plan for Elon Musk.In a letter to shareholders on Wednesday, Tesla slammed Glass Lewis, accusing the firm of "scaremongering" and faulty reasoning."In its report, Glass Lewis omits key consideration, uses faulty logic, and relies on speculation and hypotheticals," Tesla wrote in a letter to investors titled "What Glass Lewis Got Wrong About Tesla." The automaker hit back at multiple claims presented in Glass Lewis' 71-page report that was published Saturday and first reported by Bloomberg. Glass Lewis…

Learning diverse attacks on large language models for robust red-teaming and safety tuning

Learning diverse attacks on large language models for robust red-teaming and safety tuning

arXiv:2405.18540v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Red-teaming, or identifying prompts that elicit harmful responses, is a critical step in ensuring the safe and responsible deployment of large language models (LLMs). Developing effective protection against many modes of attack prompts requires discovering diverse attacks. Automated red-teaming typically uses reinforcement learning to fine-tune an attacker language model to generate prompts that elicit undesirable responses from a target LLM, as measured, for example, by an auxiliary toxicity classifier. We show that even with explicit regularization to favor novelty and diversity, existing approaches suffer from mode collapse or fail to generate effective attacks. As a…

Canadian University Augments Solar Panels to Improve Output – EE Times

Canadian University Augments Solar Panels to Improve Output – EE Times

//php echo do_shortcode('[responsivevoice_button voice="US English Male" buttontext="Listen to Post"]') ?> Researchers in Canada’s national capital have devised a smart approach to optimize the effectiveness of solar panels by enhancing them with artificial ground reflectors. The University of Ottawa’s SUNLAB, led by electrical engineering Professor Karin Hinzer, collaborated with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in Golden, Colorado, to study how reflective ground covers affect solar energy output. The research was conducted by uOttawa electrical engineering doctoral candidate Mandy Lewis in Golden, and it found that placing reflective surfaces under solar panels can increase their energy output by up to 4.5%.…

The Unified Balance Theory of Second-Moment Exponential Scaling Optimizers in Visual Tasks

The Unified Balance Theory of Second-Moment Exponential Scaling Optimizers in Visual Tasks

arXiv:2405.18498v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We have identified a potential method for unifying first-order optimizers through the use of variable Second-Moment Exponential Scaling(SMES). We begin with back propagation, addressing classic phenomena such as gradient vanishing and explosion, as well as issues related to dataset sparsity, and introduce the theory of balance in optimization. Through this theory, we suggest that SGD and adaptive optimizers can be unified under a broader inference, employing variable moving exponential scaling to achieve a balanced approach within a generalized formula for first-order optimizers. We conducted tests on some classic datasets and networks to confirm the impact…
