Pinterest looks to enhance positive user experiences – SiliconANGLE

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI, ,
Hannah Pham (pictured), head of data science and product analytics, consumers, at Pinterest Inc., loved math early in life. Data science became an attractive field to her given its focus of using data and math to solve problems and make things better. There’s so much good that can be done with data, according to Pham. It’s why she said she was drawn to Pinterest. “The power of what you can do with the implication of the models, of the insights you bring to the table, and how does that feed all of the decisions,” Pham said. “Knowing and being aware of…

A faster, better way to prevent an AI chatbot from giving toxic responses

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI
A user could ask ChatGPT to write a computer program or summarize an article, and the AI chatbot would likely be able to generate useful code or write a cogent synopsis. However, someone could also ask for instructions to build a bomb, and the chatbot might be able to provide those, too. To prevent this and other safety issues, companies that build large language models typically safeguard them using a process called red-teaming. Teams of human testers write prompts aimed at triggering unsafe or toxic text from the model being tested. These prompts are used to teach the chatbot to…

Building High-Performing Computer Vision Models with Encord Active and neptune.ai

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI
Iteratively improving data quality and conducting experiments are vital in developing computer-vision models. Encord Active is a data-centric platform that enables teams to curate visual datasets to improve data and model quality neptune.ai is a machine-learning experiment tracker that provides a central place for data scientists to log, analyze, and compare their computer-vision experiments. Together, Encord Active and neptune.ai cover the entire computer-vision modeling process from data curation to delivering the final model to production. Building robust computer vision models is a highly iterative process that depends on two main pillars: data quality and the ability to improve experiments. Poor…

Latest trends in data science combat human trafficking – SiliconANGLE

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI, ,
One of the latest trends in data science is driving an initiative to combat a significant challenge: human trafficking. Researchers at Stanford University are weaving together the threads of data-driven interventions that promise to reshape the fight against exploitation. From satellite imagery to ethical considerations, the journey embodies the intersection of technology and compassion, offering a glimpse into a future where data becomes a formidable ally in the quest for justice. “When I first started working on human trafficking, we did not have any data whatsoever,” said Kimberly Babiarz (pictured), research director at the Stanford Human Trafficking Data Lab at…

Tracking animals without markers in the wild

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI
Researchers from the Cluster of Excellence Collective Behaviour developed a computer vision framework for posture estimation and identity tracking which they can use in indoor environments as well as in the wild. They have thus taken an important step towards markerless tracking of animals in the wild using computer vision and machine learning. Two pigeons are pecking grains in a park in Konstanz. A third pigeon flies in. There are four cameras in the immediate vicinity. Doctoral students Alex Chan and Urs Waldmann from the Cluster of Excellence Collective Behaviour at the University of Konstanz are filming the scene. After…

Report: Automakers might be secretly selling your driving data to insurance companies – SiliconANGLE

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI, ,
Car companies have been selling their customers’ detailed driving behavior data to third-party brokers, possibly affecting the owners’ insurance premiums, according to a New York Times exposé published today that asks serious questions about privacy within the internet of things. Companies such as the General Motors Co., Honda Motor Co. Ltd., the Kia Corp. and more, have been using the data from connected cars to compile a behavioral profile of the driver that might detail how that driver often brakes too fast, often speeds or is prone to aggressive accelerating when the stoplight changes to green. The expose featured a 65-year-old…

Star Trek’s Holodeck recreated using ChatGPT and video game assets

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI
In Star Trek: The Next Generation, Captain Picard and the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise leverage the holodeck, an empty room capable of generating 3D environments, to prepare for missions and to entertain themselves, simulating everything from lush jungles to the London of Sherlock Holmes. Deeply immersive and fully interactive, holodeck-created environments are infinitely customizable, using nothing but language: the crew has only to ask the computer to generate an environment, and that space appears in the holodeck. Today, virtual interactive environments are also used to train robots prior to real-world deployment in a process called "Sim2Real." However, virtual interactive…

New computer vision tool wins prize for social impact

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI
A team of computer scientists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst working on two different problems -- how to quickly detect damaged buildings in crisis zones and how to accurately estimate the size of bird flocks -- recently announced an AI framework that can do both. The framework, called DISCount, blends the speed and massive data-crunching power of artificial intelligence with the reliability of human analysis to quickly deliver reliable estimates that can quickly pinpoint and count specific features from very large collections of images. The research, published by the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence, has been recognized…
