How Microsoft sees its Models-as-a-Service feature democratizing access to AI

How Microsoft sees its Models-as-a-Service feature democratizing access to AI

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. Today’s tools make it easy to build AI-powered applications. But a complex area most, if not all, developers want to avoid is having to sort out how to host the models being used. It’s one thing to choose between OpenAI’s GPT-4o, Meta’s Lllama 3, Google’s Gemini or the many open-source models out in the marketplace. It’s quite another to deploy it. Such…

Building a better sarcasm detector

Building a better sarcasm detector

Oscar Wilde once said that sarcasm was the lowest form of wit, but the highest form of intelligence. Perhaps that is due to how difficult it is to use and understand. Sarcasm is notoriously tricky to convey through text -- even in person, it can be easily misinterpreted. The subtle changes in tone that convey sarcasm often confuse computer algorithms as well, limiting virtual assistants and content analysis tools. Xiyuan Gao, Shekhar Nayak, and Matt Coler of Speech Technology Lab at the University of Groningen, Campus Fryslân developed a multimodal algorithm for improved sarcasm detection that examines multiple aspects of…

Self-Driving Cars vs. Coding Copilots

Self-Driving Cars vs. Coding Copilots

Back in the mid-2010s, the world of autonomous vehicles was making great progress, and it seemed that we would soon be ushered around in cars that drove themselves, leaving us free to spend our time how we wanted. That obviously hasn’t happened, but instead, we’ve been treated to a form of AI we weren’t expecting: generative AI-powered copilots. Following the launch of ChatGPT in late 2022, the world of generative AI has been on a tear. Every company seems to be investing in large language models (LLMs) to build one of the two most visible forms of GenAI: chatbots and…

Adobe introduces AI-powered eraser to Lightroom

Adobe introduces AI-powered eraser to Lightroom

Say goodbye to photobombs. Adobe is introducing an AI-driven Generative Remove feature to its Lightroom photo editor. This feature simplifies the removal of unwanted elements like that annoying person in the background. Currently in public beta, it works seamlessly across the Lightroom ecosystem on mobile, desktop, and web platforms.Streamlined editing with Firefly AILightroom's Generative Remove effortlessly replaces unwanted elements using Adobe's Firefly AI engine. Paint over the area you want to remove, and Lightroom sends this information to Adobe's Firefly servers, which process the data and return the edited image. In contrast to Adobe Photoshop's Reference Image feature, which allows…

OpenAI secures key partnership with Reddit

OpenAI secures key partnership with Reddit

OpenAI has secured a deal to access real-time content from Reddit through the platform’s data API.  This allows OpenAI to incorporate conversations from Reddit into ChatGPT and other new products, echoing a previous agreement that the platform had with Google, reportedly valued at $60 million. The partnership enables OpenAI to better sample the datasets on which their models are trained, allowing AI systems to become more precise and context-aware. For human communication and natural language processing, this means models like ChatGPT can stay continually updated with one of the vastest collections of public discourse available, enabling them to respond more effectively. As part of this collaboration, Reddit will be…

What ScarJo v. ChatGPT Could Look Like in Court

What ScarJo v. ChatGPT Could Look Like in Court

It doesn’t matter whether a person’s actual voice is used in an imitation or not, Rothman says, only whether that audio confuses listeners. In the legal system, there is a big difference between imitation and simply recording something “in the style” of someone else. “No one owns a style,” she says.Other legal experts don’t see what OpenAI did as a clear-cut impersonation. “I think that any potential ‘right of publicity’ claim from Scarlett Johansson against OpenAI would be fairly weak given the only superficial similarity between the ‘Sky’ actress' voice and Johansson, under the relevant case law,” Colorado law professor…

Diffusion, FM & Pre-Trained AI models for Time-Series. DeepNN-based models are starting to match or even outperform statistical time-series analysis & forecasting methods in some scenarios. Yet, DeepNN-based models for time-series suffer from 4 key issues: 1) complex architecture 2) enormous amount of time required for training 3) high inference costs, and 4) poor context sensitivity.Latest innovative approaches. To address those issues, a new breed of foundation or pre-trained AI models for time-series is emerging. Some of these new AI models use hybrid approaches borrowing from NLP, vision/ image, or physics modelling, like: transformers, diffusion models, KANs and state space…
