Google will no longer air an Olympics ad that showed a child using AI to write a fan letter

Google is phasing out an Olympics ad after for its AI-powered chatbot, Gemini, after receiving widespread criticism of showing a father use AI to help his daughter write a fan letter to her favorite athlete. The 60-second commercial, which is still available on YouTube, shows a father using Gemini to write a fan letter to an idol, Olympic track star Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, on behalf of his young daughter.“She wants to show Sydney some love and I am pretty good with words, but this has to be just right,” the dad says in the commercial. “So Gemini, help my daughter write…

The US is deploying more warships able to shoot down ballistic missiles to keep Iran and its friends in check

The US is deploying additional warships able to shoot down ballistic missiles to the Middle East and nearby waters, a Pentagon spokesperson said Friday, as the region braces for a potential attack on Israel by Iran and its proxies.Sabrina Singh, the deputy press secretary, said the Pentagon is changing up the US military's force posture "to mitigate the possibility of regional escalation by Iran or Iran's partners and proxies."Earlier this week, Israel killed a top Hezbollah commander in Lebanon, and hours later, it became the leading suspect in the assassination of Hamas' political chief in Iran.The stunning, back-to-back killings sparked…

Exploiting Preferences in Loss Functions for Sequential Recommendation via Weak Transitivity

Exploiting Preferences in Loss Functions for Sequential Recommendation via Weak Transitivity

arXiv:2408.00326v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A choice of optimization objective is immensely pivotal in the design of a recommender system as it affects the general modeling process of a user's intent from previous interactions. Existing approaches mainly adhere to three categories of loss functions: pairwise, pointwise, and setwise loss functions. Despite their effectiveness, a critical and common drawback of such objectives is viewing the next observed item as a unique positive while considering all remaining items equally negative. Such a binary label assignment is generally limited to assuring a higher recommendation score of the positive item, neglecting potential structures induced…

Gradient Harmonization in Unsupervised Domain Adaptation

Gradient Harmonization in Unsupervised Domain Adaptation

arXiv:2408.00288v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) intends to transfer knowledge from a labeled source domain to an unlabeled target domain. Many current methods focus on learning feature representations that are both discriminative for classification and invariant across domains by simultaneously optimizing domain alignment and classification tasks. However, these methods often overlook a crucial challenge: the inherent conflict between these two tasks during gradient-based optimization. In this paper, we delve into this issue and introduce two effective solutions known as Gradient Harmonization, including GH and GH++, to mitigate the conflict between domain alignment and classification tasks. GH operates…

Closing the gap between open-source and commercial large language models for medical evidence summarization

Closing the gap between open-source and commercial large language models for medical evidence summarization

arXiv:2408.00588v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) hold great promise in summarizing medical evidence. Most recent studies focus on the application of proprietary LLMs. Using proprietary LLMs introduces multiple risk factors, including a lack of transparency and vendor dependency. While open-source LLMs allow better transparency and customization, their performance falls short compared to proprietary ones. In this study, we investigated to what extent fine-tuning open-source LLMs can further improve their performance in summarizing medical evidence. Utilizing a benchmark dataset, MedReview, consisting of 8,161 pairs of systematic reviews and summaries, we fine-tuned three broadly-used, open-sourced LLMs, namely PRIMERA, LongT5,…

Judge puts liens on Rudy Giuliani’s apartments while dismissing his bankruptcy case

The judge overseeing Rudy Giuliani's bankruptcy formally dismissed the case Friday — but put a lien on the former mayor's properties to make sure he pays all his legal bills.US Bankruptcy Judge Sean Lane already said in July that he would dismiss the case, expressing frustration in a "lack of financial transparency" on Giuliani's behalf.But before the judge could finalize the dismissal, the parties in the case needed to figure out how to pay a $400,000 bill to Global Data Risk, a company hired by Giuliani's creditors to help understand his finances.Giuliani and his creditors came to a deal earlier…
