I Make AI Fashion Models to Sell Real People Clothes

stp2y0 CommentsRAG modelsartificial intelligence, fashion, your next job

Last spring, the clothing brand Levi Strauss & Co. announced plans to introduce “customized AI-generated models” into its online shopping platforms. These “body-inclusive avatars” would come in a range of sizes, ages, and skin tones and would help Levi’s create a more “diverse” lineup in a way the company considered “sustainable.” A lot of (real) people were appalled. Why not give those jobs to actual humans of the sizes, ages, and skin tones Levi’s sought? Was “sustainable” just PR-speak for “cheaper”? Levi’s later affirmed its “commitment to support multicultural creatives behind and in front of the camera.” But it didn’t…

AI leaderboards are no longer useful. It’s time to switch to Pareto curves.

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT

By Sayash Kapoor, Benedikt Stroebl, Arvind NarayananWhich is the most accurate AI system for generating code? Surprisingly, there isn’t currently a good way to answer questions like these. Based on HumanEval, a widely used benchmark for code generation, the most accurate publicly available system is LDB (short for LLM debugger). But there’s a catch. The most accurate generative AI systems, including LDB, tend to be agents, which repeatedly invoke language models like GPT-4. That means they can be orders of magnitude more costly to run than the models themselves (which are already pretty costly). If we eke out a 2% accuracy…

Reviving the Classics: Why Convolutional Models Still Shine in the Age of Transformers.

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI

The rise of Transformer models has taken the machine learning world by storm, overshadowing many other techniques that have proven their worth over time.While transformers are powerful, it’s important to recognize that they are not the one-size-fits-all solution for every problem.Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), for instance, remain highly effective for those involving image and spatial data.We have a scenario where we need to classify medical X-ray images to determine whether a bone is broken or not. In such tasks, convolutional neural networks shine due to their ability to learn spatial hierarchies from images.TensorFlow Hub provides access to a wide range…

‘We’re not about to fold’: Janet Yellen says efforts are underway to package a $50 billion loan to Ukraine using frozen Russian funds

stp2y0 CommentsRAG models

The US and its allies are getting serious about a plan to finance Ukraine using interest earned on Russia's frozen assets. Under the idea, these profits would be bundled together into a sizable loan, a possible means of survival for Kyiv."Showing that we do have the means of translating earnings on the frozen assets into a stream of support for Ukraine, I think, is an important way to demonstrate that we're not about to fold," Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen told The New York Times. "We're going to be able to help Ukraine."Though not the only option available, it's the most…

AMCEN: An Attention Masking-based Contrastive Event Network for Two-stage Temporal Knowledge Graph Reasoning

stp2y0 CommentsViral News

arXiv:2405.10346v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Temporal knowledge graphs (TKGs) can effectively model the ever-evolving nature of real-world knowledge, and their completeness and enhancement can be achieved by reasoning new events from existing ones. However, reasoning accuracy is adversely impacted due to an imbalance between new and recurring events in the datasets. To achieve more accurate TKG reasoning, we propose an attention masking-based contrastive event network (AMCEN) with local-global temporal patterns for the two-stage prediction of future events. In the network, historical and non-historical attention mask vectors are designed to control the attention bias towards historical and non-historical entities, acting as…

Building an AI Coach to Help Tame My Monkey Mind

stp2y0 CommentsNews

I suffer from monkey mind, chronic imposter syndrome, and the hedonic treadmill. A few friends have confided that they have the same issue too. Perhaps you can relate as well. To improve my mental well-being, I meditate, write morning pages, and keep a gratitude journal. However, as helpful as these techniques are, they primarily rely on introspection. What was missing was an external perspective—someone who could ask follow-up questions, challenge my assumptions, and help untangle my thoughts and emotions. Enter ChatGPT. Over the past year, I’ve been using it as my therapist and coach. It’s been surprisingly helpful and meets…

This article is based on Ismail Madni’s brilliant talk at the Product Marketing Summit in Austin, hosted by our sister community, Product Marketing Alliance. More and more AI capabilities are being added to product roadmaps every single day. Even companies that aren’t using true AI are still incorporating increasingly advanced capabilities into their product. This gives us all a golden opportunity to rethink how we price our offerings and the story behind that pricing – and that’s what I’m excited to talk to you about today.A brief history of software pricing modelsLet's start by taking a quick look at the history…
