Google’s Gemini 1.5 Pro dethrones GPT-4o

Google’s Gemini 1.5 Pro dethrones GPT-4o

Google’s experimental Gemini 1.5 Pro model has surpassed OpenAI’s GPT-4o in generative AI benchmarks. For the past year, OpenAI’s GPT-4o and Anthropic’s Claude-3 have dominated the landscape. However, the latest version of Gemini 1.5 Pro appears to have taken the lead. One of the most widely recognised benchmarks in the AI community is the LMSYS Chatbot Arena, which evaluates models on various tasks and assigns an overall competency score. On this leaderboard, GPT-4o achieved a score of 1,286, while Claude-3 secured a commendable 1,271. A previous iteration of Gemini 1.5 Pro had scored 1,261. The experimental version of Gemini 1.5…

Mobility-Aware Federated Self-supervised Learning in Vehicular Network

Mobility-Aware Federated Self-supervised Learning in Vehicular Network

arXiv:2408.00256v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Federated Learning (FL) is an advanced distributed machine learning approach, that protects the privacy of each vehicle by allowing the model to be trained on multiple devices simultaneously without the need to upload all data to a road side unit (RSU). This enables FL to handle scenarios with sensitive or widely distributed data. However, in these fields, it is well known that the labeling costs can be a significant expense, and models relying on labels are not suitable for these rapidly evolving fields especially in vehicular networks, or mobile internet of things (MIoT), where new…

Helm.ai Introduces WorldGen-1

Helm.ai, a leading provider of AI software for high-end ADAS, Level 4 autonomous driving, and robotics, today announced the launch of a multi-sensor generative AI foundation model for simulating the entire autonomous vehicle stack. WorldGen-1 synthesizes highly realistic sensor and perception data across multiple modalities and perspectives simultaneously, extrapolates sensor data from one modality to another, and predicts the behavior of the ego-vehicle and other agents in the driving environment. These AI-based simulation capabilities streamline the development and validation of autonomous driving systems. Leveraging innovation in generative DNN architectures and Deep Teaching, a highly efficient unsupervised training technology, WorldGen-1 is…

OmniParser for Pure Vision Based GUI Agent

OmniParser for Pure Vision Based GUI Agent

arXiv:2408.00203v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The recent success of large vision language models shows great potential in driving the agent system operating on user interfaces. However, we argue that the power multimodal models like GPT-4V as a general agent on multiple operating systems across different applications is largely underestimated due to the lack of a robust screen parsing technique capable of: 1) reliably identifying interactable icons within the user interface, and 2) understanding the semantics of various elements in a screenshot and accurately associate the intended action with the corresponding region on the screen. To fill these gaps, we introduce…

Navigating Text-to-Image Generative Bias across Indic Languages

Navigating Text-to-Image Generative Bias across Indic Languages

arXiv:2408.00283v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This research investigates biases in text-to-image (TTI) models for the Indic languages widely spoken across India. It evaluates and compares the generative performance and cultural relevance of leading TTI models in these languages against their performance in English. Using the proposed IndicTTI benchmark, we comprehensively assess the performance of 30 Indic languages with two open-source diffusion models and two commercial generation APIs. The primary objective of this benchmark is to evaluate the support for Indic languages in these models and identify areas needing improvement. Given the linguistic diversity of 30 languages spoken by over 1.4…

Nintendo profits fall 55 percent as people save their cash for the Switch 2

Nintendo profits fall 55 percent as people save their cash for the Switch 2

People are so excited for the next-gen Switch, they're likely holding off on buying Nintendo's current consoles and games. At least that's what the company's latest earnings report seems to indicate. For the quarter ending on June 30, Nintendo posted a net profit of 80.9 billion Japanese Yen, which is higher than its forecast but over 50 percent lower than its net profit for the same period last fiscal year. In addition, the company said it only sold 2.1 million Switch consoles for the quarter. That means it experienced a 46.3 percent decline on unit sales year-on-year. Even its games…
