Accuracy and Consistency of LLMs in the Registered Dietitian Exam: The Impact of Prompt Engineering and Knowledge Retrieval

arXiv:2408.02964v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are fundamentally transforming human-facing applications in the health and well-being domains: boosting patient engagement, accelerating clinical decision-making, and facilitating medical education. Although state-of-the-art LLMs have shown superior performance in several conversational applications, evaluations within nutrition and diet applications are still insufficient. In this paper, we propose to employ the Registered Dietitian (RD) exam to conduct a standard and comprehensive evaluation of state-of-the-art LLMs, GPT-4o, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, and Gemini 1.5 Pro, assessing both accuracy and consistency in nutrition queries. Our evaluation includes 1050 RD exam questions encompassing several nutrition topics and…

Blockchain could solve the monopolised AI ecosystem | AI News

The AI industry has always been the “futuristic view” for humans, whether in movies, cartoons, or real life. Computers work, think and act on behalf of futuristic humans – well, except in the Dune movies. In the past half-decade, artificial intelligence has become the hottest topic in the world, second only to the Covid 19 pandemic, with most people fascinated by the industry’s massive growth and the extent they can use it. This growth is expected to continue at a rapid pace into the last years of the decade, with Statista predicting the $184 billion industry will grow to nearly…

Disney figured it out: You can make money in streaming if you charge more.

Disney figured it out: You can make money in streaming if you charge more.

Streaming used to be a money pit for Disney. Not anymore.When Disney first made plans for its own streaming business back in 2017, burning billions wasn't considered a problem — it was the playbook. Netflix was losing money building up its own business, and Wall Street was consistently rewarding it for that. So would-be Netflixes like Disney figured they would do the same thing.But in 2022, as interest rates started climbing and Netflix announced it had suddenly lost a million subscribers, Wall Street made new demands: Growth alone wouldn't cut it — streamers now needed to show they could turn…

Micron Resumes Buybacks That Had Been Suspended Amid Downturn

Micron Technology Inc. is resuming a stock buyback program that it had suspended nearly two years ago during an industry downturn. Shares gained on the news. The largest US maker of computer memory chips sells a vital component of artificial intelligence hardware — high-bandwidth memory — that works with processors from Nvidia Corp. to crunch data. While its earnings forecast last month failed to impress investors, the company has been hailed as one of the biggest potential beneficiaries of the generative AI boom. Source link lol

LR-Net: A Lightweight and Robust Network for Infrared Small Target Detection

LR-Net: A Lightweight and Robust Network for Infrared Small Target Detection

arXiv:2408.02780v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Limited by equipment limitations and the lack of target intrinsic features, existing infrared small target detection methods have difficulty meeting actual comprehensive performance requirements. Therefore, we propose an innovative lightweight and robust network (LR-Net), which abandons the complex structure and achieves an effective balance between detection accuracy and resource consumption. Specifically, to ensure the lightweight and robustness, on the one hand, we construct a lightweight feature extraction attention (LFEA) module, which can fully extract target features and strengthen information interaction across channels. On the other hand, we construct a simple refined feature transfer (RFT) module.…

The end of Patreon? Google is implementing micro-payments into Chrome – gHacks Tech News

Google is working on integrating what it calls Web Monetization functionality in its Chrome web browser. One of the main intents is to add a way to reward good content on the web. Most websites rely either on ads or subscriptions for revenue generation. While direct payments are in theory great, they are not in practice. Each payment has additional costs and intermediary services are needed in most cases, as individual implementations are technical. This lead to absurd scenarios where fees eat up a large chunk of payments. Google's solution: Web Monetization Google explains the feature in a support document…
