Suspected Foreign Agitators Boost UK Extremists to Inflame Riots

Suspected foreign state-backed actors and UK domestic extremists have coalesced online to stoke racism and incite violence across the UK, taking advantage of services from TikTok to the messaging service Telegram.Over the last 10 days, channels on the social media site Telegram, prominent accounts on X and self-described British patriots on ByteDance Ltd.’s TikTok have pushed users to appear at centers for asylum-seekers and take part in demonstrations that later turned violent. Other accounts have spread false allegations about members of the Islamic community. Source link lol

Texas Instruments’ tiny TI DLP controllers enable 4K UHD projectors

GamesBeat is excited to partner with Lil Snack to have customized games just for our audience! We know as gamers ourselves, this is an exciting way to engage through play with the GamesBeat content you have already come to love. Start playing games here.  Texas Instruments introduced new digital light processing (DLP) controllers that are 90% smaller than the previous generation and will enable 4K ultra-high-definition projectors. The displayer controllers enable the smallest, fastest and lowest-power 4K ultra-high-definition(UHD) projectors ever. These are the kind of technical advances that can make consumer enthusiasts and gamers happy. Measuring just 9 millimeters on…

OpenAI’s Sora is coming. Early testers reveal the pros and cons of the text-to-video generator.

The company shared striking videos generated by Sora, which takes its name from the Japanese word for "sky."OpenAI has not yet announced an official release date for Sora's public launch, but its rollout is widely anticipated and expected to come within the next few months. An example of a video generated by OpenAI's Sora. OpenAI OpenAI gave access to several visual artists, designers, and filmmakers to get feedback on how to advance the model in a way that would be most helpful for creative professionals.Four of the artists and early testers of Sora spoke to Business Insider about their experiences…

Improving Machine Learning Based Sepsis Diagnosis Using Heart Rate Variability

Improving Machine Learning Based Sepsis Diagnosis Using Heart Rate Variability

arXiv:2408.02683v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The early and accurate diagnosis of sepsis is critical for enhancing patient outcomes. This study aims to use heart rate variability (HRV) features to develop an effective predictive model for sepsis detection. Critical HRV features are identified through feature engineering methods, including statistical bootstrapping and the Boruta algorithm, after which XGBoost and Random Forest classifiers are trained with differential hyperparameter settings. In addition, ensemble models are constructed to pool the prediction probabilities of high-recall and high-precision classifiers and improve model performance. Finally, a neural network model is trained on the HRV features, achieving an F1…

The best budgeting apps for 2024

The best budgeting apps for 2024

As a former Mint user, I had to find a new budgeting app not too long ago. Intuit, parent company of Mint, shut down the service in March 2024, and prompted users to transition to its other financial app, Credit Karma. However, after testing Credit Karma myself, I found it to be a poor Mint replacement — that meant I needed to branch out and look elsewhere for a trusted app to track all of my financial accounts, monitor my credit score, follow a monthly spending plan and set goals like building a rainy-day fund and paying down my mortgage…

Instacart Posts Sales Beat, Issues Strong Earnings Outlook

Instacart Posts Sales Beat, Issues Strong Earnings Outlook

Instacart posted better-than-expected sales in the second quarter, signaling that the grocery-delivery business has a strong enough user base to support its longer-term bet on advertising.Revenue gained to $823 million, far surpassing analysts’ expectations of $806 million. The value of orders placed during the quarter totaled $8.19 billion, also beating estimates. That’s even while the San Francisco firm reported that overall orders grew at a slower pace than expected.

Dimensionality Reduction and Nearest Neighbors for Improving Out-of-Distribution Detection in Medical Image Segmentation

Dimensionality Reduction and Nearest Neighbors for Improving Out-of-Distribution Detection in Medical Image Segmentation

arXiv:2408.02761v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Clinically deployed deep learning-based segmentation models are known to fail on data outside of their training distributions. While clinicians review the segmentations, these models tend to perform well in most instances, which could exacerbate automation bias. Therefore, detecting out-of-distribution images at inference is critical to warn the clinicians that the model likely failed. This work applied the Mahalanobis distance (MD) post hoc to the bottleneck features of four Swin UNETR and nnU-net models that segmented the liver on T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography. By reducing the dimensions of the bottleneck features with either…

Approaching Brute Force Algorithm Using Javascript

Approaching Brute Force Algorithm Using Javascript

Below are few examples which is started with simple to advance level (Travelling Salesman Problem and 0/1 knapsack problem) These examples are based on brute force Algorithm My Note:- There are several downsides of this Brute Force Algorithm but before directly jumping into Dynamic programming and other approaches you should have ideas on this approach and you must find out why we need a Dynamic Programming pattern (Recursion + Memorization) If you closely observe the pattern for the brute force const wrapper = (value) => { const helper = (combinedArray, depth) => { if (depth == 3) { // operation…

Leveraging Inter-Chunk Interactions for Enhanced Retrieval in Large Language Model-Based Question Answering

Leveraging Inter-Chunk Interactions for Enhanced Retrieval in Large Language Model-Based Question Answering

arXiv:2408.02907v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Retrieving external knowledge and prompting large language models with relevant information is an effective paradigm to enhance the performance of question-answering tasks. Previous research typically handles paragraphs from external documents in isolation, resulting in a lack of context and ambiguous references, particularly in multi-document and complex tasks. To overcome these challenges, we propose a new retrieval framework IIER, that leverages Inter-chunk Interactions to Enhance Retrieval. This framework captures the internal connections between document chunks by considering three types of interactions: structural, keyword, and semantic. We then construct a unified Chunk-Interaction Graph to represent all external…
