AgriLLM: Harnessing Transformers for Farmer Queries

arXiv:2407.04721v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agriculture, vital for global sustenance, necessitates innovative solutions due to a lack of organized domain experts, particularly in developing countries where many farmers are impoverished and cannot afford expert consulting. Initiatives like Farmers Helpline play a crucial role in such countries, yet challenges such as high operational costs persist. Automating query resolution can alleviate the burden on traditional call centers, providing farmers with immediate and contextually relevant information. The integration of Agriculture and Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers a transformative opportunity to empower farmers and bridge information gaps. Language models like transformers, the rising stars of…

Biden’s doctor says 8 White House visits by Parkinson’s expert were for routine military staff neurology clinics

Biden’s doctor says 8 White House visits by Parkinson’s expert were for routine military staff neurology clinics

In a letter released late Monday, Joe Biden's physician said the reason a Parkinson's expert visited the White House monthly was to host routine neurology clinics for active-duty staff.Kevin O'Connor, Biden's physician, wrote the letter to address reporting by The New York Times about the repeated visits by Dr. Kevin Cannard, a neurologist specializing in movement disorders.The Times' report, published Monday amid growing critiques of Biden's age and capacity to run for reelection, relied on visitor logs to track eight visits by Cannard in as many months but did not specify why he'd traveled to the White House so often.…

Amazon Prime Day early deals include five months of Amazon Music Unlimited for free

may not actually start until July 16, but early deals continue to roll in. Prime members can now of Amazon Music Unlimited for free. This is Amazon’s streaming music platform, like Spotify, Apple Music and the rest. So that’s five months of unlimited access to pretty much every song ever made.Again, this deal is only for current Prime members. The service costs $10 per month once the free trial ends, which is more-or-less in line with rival streaming platforms. If you want the free trial without having to worry about getting charged, just set a reminder to cancel before those…

LockBit’s latest attack shows why fintech needs more zero trust

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 Claiming to have breached the U.S. Treasury and instead releasing 33 terabytes of data on the dark web exfiltrated from banking and fintech provider Evolve, LockBit’s latest breach shows how vulnerable fintech is to cyberattacks. Evolve announced the breach on June 26, posting a notice on their site, saying the breach included personally identifiable information (PII), including customer names, Social Security numbers, dates of…

Emergent Interpretable Symbols and Content-Style Disentanglement via Variance-Invariance Constraints

Emergent Interpretable Symbols and Content-Style Disentanglement via Variance-Invariance Constraints

arXiv:2407.03824v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We contribute an unsupervised method that effectively learns from raw observation and disentangles its latent space into content and style representations. Unlike most disentanglement algorithms that rely on domain-specific labels and knowledge, our method is based on the insight of domain-general statistical differences between content and style -- content varies more among different fragments within a sample but maintains an invariant vocabulary across data samples, whereas style remains relatively invariant within a sample but exhibits more significant variation across different samples. We integrate such inductive bias into an encoder-decoder architecture and name our method after…

CoMix: A Comprehensive Benchmark for Multi-Task Comic Understanding

CoMix: A Comprehensive Benchmark for Multi-Task Comic Understanding

arXiv:2407.03550v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The comic domain is rapidly advancing with the development of single-page analysis and synthesis models. However, evaluation metrics and datasets lag behind, often limited to small-scale or single-style test sets. We introduce a novel benchmark, CoMix, designed to evaluate the multi-task capabilities of models in comic analysis. Unlike existing benchmarks that focus on isolated tasks such as object detection or text recognition, CoMix addresses a broader range of tasks including object detection, speaker identification, character re-identification, reading order, and multi-modal reasoning tasks like character naming and dialogue generation. Our benchmark comprises three existing datasets with…

Evaluating Language Model Context Windows: A “Working Memory” Test and Inference-time Correction

Evaluating Language Model Context Windows: A “Working Memory” Test and Inference-time Correction

arXiv:2407.03651v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models are prominently used in real-world applications, often tasked with reasoning over large volumes of documents. An exciting development in this space is models boasting extended context capabilities, with some accommodating over 2 million tokens. Such long context model capabilities remain uncertain in production systems, motivating the need to benchmark their performance on real world use cases. We address this challenge by proposing SWiM, an evaluation framework that addresses the limitations of standard tests. Testing the framework on eight long context models, we find that even strong models such as GPT-4 and Claude…
