LADI v2: Multi-label Dataset and Classifiers for Low-Altitude Disaster Imagery

LADI v2: Multi-label Dataset and Classifiers for Low-Altitude Disaster Imagery

arXiv:2406.02780v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: ML-based computer vision models are promising tools for supporting emergency management operations following natural disasters. Arial photographs taken from small manned and unmanned aircraft can be available soon after a disaster and provide valuable information from multiple perspectives for situational awareness and damage assessment applications. However, emergency managers often face challenges finding the most relevant photos among the tens of thousands that may be taken after an incident. While ML-based solutions could enable more effective use of aerial photographs, there is still a lack of training data for imagery of this type from multiple perspectives…

Advancing conservation with AI-based facial recognition of turtles

Finding solutions to improve turtle reidentification and supporting machine learning projects across AfricaProtecting the ecosystems around us is critical to safeguarding the future of our planet and all its living citizens. Fortunately, new artificial intelligence (AI) systems are making progress in conservation efforts worldwide, helping tackle complex problems at scale – from studying the behaviour of animal communities in the Serengeti to help conserve the diminishing ecosystem, to spotting poachers and their wounded prey to prevent species going extinct.As part of our mission to help benefit humanity with the technologies we develop, it's important we ensure diverse groups of people…

Microsoft Sued For AI Article Accusing Innocent Man of Sexual Misconduct

Microsoft Sued For AI Article Accusing Innocent Man of Sexual Misconduct

An Irish DJ and talk show host is suing Microsoft after discovering that MSN circulated an AI-fabricated news article falsely accusing him of sexual misconduct, a New York Times investigation into the AI-powered fake news provider reveals.According to the NYT, that AI-powered news service, "BNN Breaking," produced an article claiming that an Irish broadcaster named Dave Fanning was due to face "trial over alleged sexual misconduct," complete with a photo of a photo of the falsely accused media figure. Worse yet, the erroneous reporting was scooped up by MSN — the somehow not-dead-yet Microsoft site that aggregates news — and was…

US Regulators To Take A Look Into Microsoft, Nvidia And OpenAI

US Regulators To Take A Look Into Microsoft, Nvidia And OpenAI

Some of the biggest names in the AI space are about to get more scrutiny from government regulators. The Federal Trade Commission is set to look into Microsoft’s relationship with OpenAI, while the Justice Department will investigate whether Nvidia violated antitrust law, per reports. The two agencies spent the past six months in negotiations about how to split up the two probes. Of course, regulatory scrutiny concerning AI is nothing new for Microsoft. The Redmond, Washington-based giant has had regulators looking at it since news broke of its $10 billion megadeal with OpenAI — in the biggest startup funding round…

Chain of Agents: Large Language Models Collaborating on Long-Context Tasks

Chain of Agents: Large Language Models Collaborating on Long-Context Tasks

arXiv:2406.02818v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Addressing the challenge of effectively processing long contexts has become a critical issue for Large Language Models (LLMs). Two common strategies have emerged: 1) reducing the input length, such as retrieving relevant chunks by Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and 2) expanding the context window limit of LLMs. However, both strategies have drawbacks: input reduction has no guarantee of covering the part with needed information, while window extension struggles with focusing on the pertinent information for solving the task. To mitigate these limitations, we propose Chain-of-Agents (CoA), a novel framework that harnesses multi-agent collaboration through natural language…

OpenAI Offers a Peek Inside the Guts of ChatGPT

OpenAI Offers a Peek Inside the Guts of ChatGPT

ChatGPT developer OpenAI’s approach to building artificial intelligence came under fire this week from former employees who accuse the company of taking unnecessary risks with technology that could become harmful.Today OpenAI released a new research paper apparently aimed at showing it is serious about tackling AI risk by making its models more explainable. In the paper, researchers from the company lay out a way to peer inside the AI model that powers ChatGPT. They devised a way to identify how it stores certain concepts—including those that might perhaps cause an AI system to misbehave.Although the research makes OpenAI’s work on…

Tesla’s new self-driving software throws out its old code entirely

Tesla’s new self-driving software throws out its old code entirely

Tesla, the pioneering electric vehicle manufacturer known for its innovative and sometimes controversial approach to self-driving technology, has recently made a significant change to its Full Self-Driving (FSD) software. The company, led by Elon Musk, has decided to completely overhaul its existing FSD code, opting for a novel approach in the months leading up to the planned launch of its Robotaxi service. The move scraps the legacy code and replaces it with a new system that leverages neural networks to learn and adapt to real-world driving scenarios, a notable shift from the previous rule-based algorithms.Changing EverythingThe legacy FSD software relied on…
