A Survey of Text Style Transfer: Applications and Ethical Implications

[Submitted on 23 Jul 2024] View a PDF of the paper titled A Survey of Text Style Transfer: Applications and Ethical Implications, by Sourabrata Mukherjee and 3 other authors View PDF Abstract:Text style transfer (TST) is an important task in controllable text generation, which aims to control selected attributes of language use, such as politeness, formality, or sentiment, without altering the style-independent content of the text. The field has received considerable research attention in recent years and has already been covered in several reviews, but the focus has mostly been on the development of new algorithms and learning from different…

The US Senate unanimously passes a bill to empower victims of intimate deepfakes

The US Senate unanimously passes a bill to empower victims of intimate deepfakes

The US Senate unanimously passed a bill on Tuesday designed to hold accountable those who make or share deepfake porn. The Disrupt Explicit Forged Images and Non-Consensual Edits Act (DEFIANCE Act) would allow victims to sue those who create, share or possess AI-generated sexual images or videos using their likeness. The issue took root in the public consciousness after the infamous Taylor Swift deepfake that circulated among online lowlifes early this year.The bill would let victims sue for up to $150,000 in damages. That number grows to $250,000 if it’s related to attempted sexual assault, stalking or harassment.It now moves…

Why Businesses Rely on CrowdStrike for Cybersecurity

Why Businesses Rely on CrowdStrike for Cybersecurity

In today's digital age, cybersecurity has become a cornerstone of our interconnected world. With the vast amount of data being transmitted every second, securing this information is paramount. Among the many cybersecurity companies, CrowdStrike has emerged as a leader in providing robust security solutions. But why is the internet not secure without CrowdStrike? To understand this, we must delve into the unique aspects of CrowdStrike’s offerings and their impact on internet security, as well as the importance of the companies that rely on CrowdStrike for their cybersecurity needs. What is CrowdStrike? CrowdStrike is a cybersecurity technology company founded in 2011…

Elon Musk is still insisting he’s down to fight Mark Zuckerberg: ‘Any place, any time, any rules’

"I'll fight Zuckerberg any place, any time, any rules," Musk told reporters in Washington on Wednesday.The mercurial billionaire traveled to Capitol Hill to attend Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address to Congress.A Meta representative pointed Business Insider to a Threads post that Zuckerberg made on Wednesday in response to Musk's remark."Are we really doing this again?" Zuckerberg wrote.Talk of a Musk-Zuckerberg fight started in June 2023, when Musk issued the challenge amid speculation that Meta was building their own X competitor. Zuckerberg would go on to launch his text-based social media platform, Threads in July.But the fight failed to materialize…

A study of animal action segmentation algorithms across supervised, unsupervised, and semi-supervised learning paradigms

A study of animal action segmentation algorithms across supervised, unsupervised, and semi-supervised learning paradigms

arXiv:2407.16727v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Action segmentation of behavioral videos is the process of labeling each frame as belonging to one or more discrete classes, and is a crucial component of many studies that investigate animal behavior. A wide range of algorithms exist to automatically parse discrete animal behavior, encompassing supervised, unsupervised, and semi-supervised learning paradigms. These algorithms -- which include tree-based models, deep neural networks, and graphical models -- differ widely in their structure and assumptions on the data. Using four datasets spanning multiple species -- fly, mouse, and human -- we systematically study how the outputs of these…

How AI is revolutionising weather forecasting

In the past year, something of a revolution has hit the world of weather forecasting as artificial intelligence-based weather forecasts have come to the fore. Traditional weather forecasting methods rely on creating a digital three-dimensional grid that replicates as closely as possible the state of the atmosphere at the start of the forecast.Once this “initialised state” is determined, complex equations are used to predict how the state of the atmosphere will evolve in the hours and days ahead. For decades, much research has gone into improving these forecasts, focusing on getting the starting point right, increasing vertical and horizontal resolution…

Educating LLMs like Human Students: Structure-aware Injection of Domain Knowledge

Educating LLMs like Human Students: Structure-aware Injection of Domain Knowledge

arXiv:2407.16724v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper presents a pioneering methodology, termed StructTuning, to efficiently transform foundation Large Language Models (LLMs) into domain specialists. It significantly minimizes the training corpus requirement to a mere 0.3% while achieving an impressive 50% of traditional knowledge injection performance. Our method is inspired by the educational processes for human students, particularly how structured domain knowledge from textbooks is absorbed and then applied to tackle real-world challenges through specific exercises. Based on this, we propose a novel two-stage knowledge injection strategy: Structure-aware Continual Pre-Training (SCPT) and Structure-aware Supervised Fine-Tuning (SSFT). In the SCPT phase, we…
