1-Lipschitz Neural Distance Fields

stp2y0 CommentsViral News
arXiv:2407.09505v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Neural implicit surfaces are a promising tool for geometry processing that represent a solid object as the zero level set of a neural network. Usually trained to approximate a signed distance function of the considered object, these methods exhibit great visual fidelity and quality near the surface, yet their properties tend to degrade with distance, making geometrical queries hard to perform without the help of complex range analysis techniques. Based on recent advancements in Lipschitz neural networks, we introduce a new method for approximating the signed distance function of a given object. As our neural…

Hackers claim Disney data theft in protest against AI-generated artwork

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT
Hacktivists claim to have stolen more than a terabyte of data from Disney’s internal chat platform and are leaking the information online in a protest against what they say is the company’s anti-artist stance.The group, which calls itself NullBulge, has been active since at least May. It claims to be motivated by a desire to “protect artists’ rights and ensure fair compensation for their work”. On Friday, it published the entirety of Disney’s internal Slack channel online through the decentralised BitTorrent filesharing platform.Unlike many corporate hackers, NullBulge seems not to be interested in financial rewards. The group did not publicly…

Bridging the Gap Between Information Seeking and Product Search Systems: Q&A Recommendation for E-commerce

stp2y0 CommentsViral News
arXiv:2407.09653v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Consumers on a shopping mission often leverage both product search and information seeking systems, such as web search engines and Question Answering (QA) systems, in an iterative process to improve their understanding of available products and reach a purchase decision. While product search is useful for shoppers to find the actual products meeting their requirements in the catalog, information seeking systems can be utilized to answer any questions they may have to refine those requirements. The recent success of Large Language Models (LLMs) has opened up an opportunity to bridge the gap between the two…

Impact of Data Quality on Big Data Management

stp2y0 CommentsViral News
In today's big data era, businesses generate and collect data at unprecedented rates. More data should imply more knowledge but it also comes with more challenges. Maintaining data quality becomes harder as the amount of data being handled increases.  It's not just the difference in volumes, data may be inaccurate and incomplete or it may be structured differently. This limits the power of big data and business analytics.  According to recent research, the average financial impact of poor quality data can be as high as $15 million annually. Hence the need to emphasize data quality for big data management.  Understanding…

Governing the ML lifecycle at scale, Part 2: Multi-account foundations | Amazon Web Services

stp2y0 CommentsAI
Your multi-account strategy is the core of your foundational environment on AWS. Design decisions around your multi-account environment are critical for operating securely at scale. Grouping your workloads strategically into multiple AWS accounts enables you to apply different controls across workloads, track cost and usage, reduce the impact of account limits, and mitigate the complexity of managing multiple virtual private clouds (VPCs) and identities by allowing different teams to access different accounts that are tailored to their purpose. In Part 1 of this series, Governing the ML lifecycle at scale, Part 1: A framework for architecting ML workloads using Amazon…
