Learning Action and Reasoning-Centric Image Editing from Videos and Simulations

arXiv:2407.03471v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: An image editing model should be able to perform diverse edits, ranging from object replacement, changing attributes or style, to performing actions or movement, which require many forms of reasoning. Current general instruction-guided editing models have significant shortcomings with action and reasoning-centric edits. Object, attribute or stylistic changes can be learned from visually static datasets. On the other hand, high-quality data for action and reasoning-centric edits is scarce and has to come from entirely different sources that cover e.g. physical dynamics, temporality and spatial reasoning. To this end, we meticulously curate the AURORA Dataset (Action-Reasoning-Object-Attribute),…

Applied Materials reveals chip wiring innovations for energy-efficient computing

Applied Materials reveals chip wiring innovations for energy-efficient computing

We want to hear from you! Take our quick AI survey and share your insights on the current state of AI, how you’re implementing it, and what you expect to see in the future. Learn More Applied Materials has revealed chip wiring innovations that will help address challenges in the way of energy-efficient computing. The use of new materials in chip wiring will enable two-nanometer node manufacturing, where the width between circuits is around two billionths of a meter apart. These innovations will reduce resistance in wiring as much as 25% and new materials will reduce chip capacitance by up…

First look at Notepad’s Spell Checker: surprise, it is not as bad as it sounds – gHacks Tech News

First look at Notepad’s Spell Checker: surprise, it is not as bad as it sounds – gHacks Tech News

While Microsoft continues to kill some apps, including WordPad and Cortana, it is giving other classic apps some love. Notepad is one of these. After enabling tab-support and auto-saving, the Redmond-based company is now working on spell checking and AI features. The current status of the feature exists since April 2024. Microsoft rolled out an updated version of the Notepad app to Beta and Release Preview channels of Windows 11. Not all users have received the functionality by now, but it appears that the company is preparing for a release to the stable Windows population. The initial spell checking version…

ElevenLabs’ AI tool makes noisy background audio a thing of the past | KnowTechie

Background noise: the bane of every podcaster, YouTuber, and videographer’s existence. We’ve all been there – you’re in the middle of a great take, and then a siren blares past, your dog decides to bark loudly, or the air conditioning kicks in with a rattling hum. It’s frustrating, and it can totally ruin an otherwise great piece of content. That’s where ElevenLabs’ new AI Voice Isolator comes in. This free tool uses AI to remove unwanted background noise from your audio, leaving you with crystal-clear dialogue that sounds like it was recorded in a professional studio. The best part? It’s…

I was scammed out of nearly $300,000 and was forced to abandon my retirement dreams

This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Leonid Shteyn. It has been edited for length and clarity.Last year, I started looking for ways to make more money from my retirement savings. I'm 70, and my wife, who is also retired, is 68. We were worried about having enough money to live with rising inflation. We also wanted to have something to leave our four grandchildren, two of whom have special needs.I researched investment options online and eventually reached out to a friend. He connected me to a company he was investing in. I checked the company out online,…

Generative Technology for Human Emotion Recognition: A Scope Review

Generative Technology for Human Emotion Recognition: A Scope Review

arXiv:2407.03640v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Affective computing stands at the forefront of artificial intelligence (AI), seeking to imbue machines with the ability to comprehend and respond to human emotions. Central to this field is emotion recognition, which endeavors to identify and interpret human emotional states from different modalities, such as speech, facial images, text, and physiological signals. In recent years, important progress has been made in generative models, including Autoencoder, Generative Adversarial Network, Diffusion Model, and Large Language Model. These models, with their powerful data generation capabilities, emerge as pivotal tools in advancing emotion recognition. However, up to now, there…

Boeing agrees to plead guilty to conspiracy to defraud the US government

The US Department of Justice and Boeing have reached an agreement that the latter will plead guilty to a conspiracy to defraud the US government charge stemming from two fatal crashes that killed 346 people in 2018 and 2019, the New York Times reports.In May, the DOJ announced that Boeing violated its 2021 deal to pay penalties and compensation, as well as implement major safety changes — just four months prior, a cabin panel blew off an Alaska Airlines flight while it was at 16,000 feet in the air. The DOJ offered the company a plea deal on June 30,…
