Deephaven tables now support Python type hints | Deephaven

Deephaven's v0.19 release rolled out some awesome features, particularly for Python programmers - table slicing, autocomplete, and others. For me, support for type hints in tables is an unsung hero. I've always had so many explicit typecasts in my table operations. Now I can reduce how many I need, which results in cleaner code. Let me show you what I mean.I write a lot of Deephaven queries. I also write a lot of Python functions. Sometimes, I wish I didn't always have to cast my Python functions in query strings to the data type I want:from deephaven import empty_tableimport numpy…

A technique for more effective multipurpose robots

A technique for more effective multipurpose robots

Let's say you want to train a robot so it understands how to use tools and can then quickly learn to make repairs around your house with a hammer, wrench, and screwdriver. To do that, you would need an enormous amount of data demonstrating tool use. Existing robotic datasets vary widely in modality -- some include color images while others are composed of tactile imprints, for instance. Data could also be collected in different domains, like simulation or human demos. And each dataset may capture a unique task and environment. It is difficult to efficiently incorporate data from so many…

Scarlett Johansson won’t save us from AI – but if workers have their say, it could benefit us all | Peter Lewis

Tech overlord Sam Altman’s legal skirmish with actor Scarlett Johansson brings the blurred lines between artificial intelligence and the world it seeks to transform into sharper focus.For those who missed it, Johansson is suing Altman’s OpenAI over claims he ignored her refusal to grant consent to use her voice in its latest ChatGTP release – which was later unveiled with a generated voice using a husky, flirtatious tone Johansson says is unabashedly in the style ofher work in the movie Her.That 2014 film (about a sad and lonely guy who falls in love with his operating system) is said to…

Meta is testing out a feature that could make Instagram more like YouTube

Quickly scrolling past AI-generated ads on Instagram that you don't care to see could soon no longer be an option.With Reels, Instagram became more like TikTok. With Threads, Meta paired Instagram with a new X competitor. And now, the social media giant may be taking a page out of YouTube's book.Instagram is testing out a feature that stops some users from scrolling for a brief period of time to watch an ad, a Meta spokesperson confirmed in a statement to Business Insider.Only some users can see this feature, per posts on X and Reddit, but Meta said the feature could…

Exploring the Practicality of Federated Learning: A Survey Towards the Communication Perspective

Exploring the Practicality of Federated Learning: A Survey Towards the Communication Perspective

arXiv:2405.20431v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Federated Learning (FL) is a promising paradigm that offers significant advancements in privacy-preserving, decentralized machine learning by enabling collaborative training of models across distributed devices without centralizing data. However, the practical deployment of FL systems faces a significant bottleneck: the communication overhead caused by frequently exchanging large model updates between numerous devices and a central server. This communication inefficiency can hinder training speed, model performance, and the overall feasibility of real-world FL applications. In this survey, we investigate various strategies and advancements made in communication-efficient FL, highlighting their impact and potential to overcome the communication…

Disrupting Diffusion: Token-Level Attention Erasure Attack against Diffusion-based Customization

Disrupting Diffusion: Token-Level Attention Erasure Attack against Diffusion-based Customization

arXiv:2405.20584v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: With the development of diffusion-based customization methods like DreamBooth, individuals now have access to train the models that can generate their personalized images. Despite the convenience, malicious users have misused these techniques to create fake images, thereby triggering a privacy security crisis. In light of this, proactive adversarial attacks are proposed to protect users against customization. The adversarial examples are trained to distort the customization model's outputs and thus block the misuse. In this paper, we propose DisDiff (Disrupting Diffusion), a novel adversarial attack method to disrupt the diffusion model outputs. We first delve into…

SPOT: Text Source Prediction from Originality Score Thresholding

arXiv:2405.20505v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The wide acceptance of large language models (LLMs) has unlocked new applications and social risks. Popular countermeasures aim at detecting misinformation, usually involve domain specific models trained to recognize the relevance of any information. Instead of evaluating the validity of the information, we propose to investigate LLM generated text from the perspective of trust. In this study, we define trust as the ability to know if an input text was generated by a LLM or a human. To do so, we design SPOT, an efficient method, that classifies the source of any, standalone, text input…
