My boss and I were good friends. Then I got laid off.

My boss and I were good friends. Then I got laid off.

This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Angelica Miller, a 31-year-old recruiter from Arizona who was recently laid off. It's been edited for length and clarity.My last boss and I were friends. We gossipped about work, life, relationships, and everything in between. I never expected her to lay me off.Though I don't regret our friendship, I'm keeping the relationships at my new job strictly professional. I've learned that work is about making a paycheck, not friends.We became friends instantlyBefore she became my boss, she was my peer. We both were working for the same equipment rental company as…

Mistral shocks with new open model Mistral Large 2, taking on Llama 3.1

Join our daily and weekly newsletters for the latest updates and exclusive content on industry-leading AI coverage. Learn More The AI race is picking up pace like never before. Following Meta’s move just yesterday to launch its new open source Llama 3.1 as a highly competitive alternative to leading closed-source “frontier” models, French AI startup Mistral has also thrown its hat in the ring. The startup announced the next generation of its flagship open source model with 123 billion parameters: Mistral Large 2. However, in an important caveat, the model is only licensed as “open” for non-commercial research uses, including…

The best Android phones for 2024

The best Android phones for 2024

There’s one clear perk that Android has over iOS and that’s variety when it comes to the phones you have to choose from. Apple has made the iPhone is the only game in town for iOS, but with Google’s operating system, there are dozens of choices out there from manufacturers like Samsung, Motorola, OnePlus and others. But that also means it can be difficult to decide which device is best for you when it comes time to upgrade, or if you want to switch from iPhone to Android in the new year. If you’re looking for a new phone and…

Occlusion-Aware 3D Motion Interpretation for Abnormal Behavior Detection

Occlusion-Aware 3D Motion Interpretation for Abnormal Behavior Detection

arXiv:2407.16788v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Estimating abnormal posture based on 3D pose is vital in human pose analysis, yet it presents challenges, especially when reconstructing 3D human poses from monocular datasets with occlusions. Accurate reconstructions enable the restoration of 3D movements, which assist in the extraction of semantic details necessary for analyzing abnormal behaviors. However, most existing methods depend on predefined key points as a basis for estimating the coordinates of occluded joints, where variations in data quality have adversely affected the performance of these models. In this paper, we present OAD2D, which discriminates against motion abnormalities based on reconstructing…

$textit{BenchIE}^{FL}$ : A Manually Re-Annotated Fact-Based Open Information Extraction Benchmark

$textit{BenchIE}^{FL}$ : A Manually Re-Annotated Fact-Based Open Information Extraction Benchmark

arXiv:2407.16860v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Open Information Extraction (OIE) is a field of natural language processing that aims to present textual information in a format that allows it to be organized, analyzed and reflected upon. Numerous OIE systems are developed, claiming ever-increasing performance, marking the need for objective benchmarks. BenchIE is the latest reference we know of. Despite being very well thought out, we noticed a number of issues we believe are limiting. Therefore, we propose $textit{BenchIE}^{FL}$, a new OIE benchmark which fully enforces the principles of BenchIE while containing fewer errors, omissions and shortcomings when candidate facts are matched…
