Story Generation from Visual Inputs: Techniques, Related Tasks, and Challenges

Story Generation from Visual Inputs: Techniques, Related Tasks, and Challenges

arXiv:2406.02748v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Creating engaging narratives from visual data is crucial for automated digital media consumption, assistive technologies, and interactive entertainment. This survey covers methodologies used in the generation of these narratives, focusing on their principles, strengths, and limitations. The survey also covers tasks related to automatic story generation, such as image and video captioning, and visual question answering, as well as story generation without visual inputs. These tasks share common challenges with visual story generation and have served as inspiration for the techniques used in the field. We analyze the main datasets and evaluation metrics, providing a…

Australia ends legal fight for X to remove violent stabbing video

Australia ends legal fight for X to remove violent stabbing video

Australia's independent regulator for online safety has ended its bid to remove a violent video from X (formerly Twitter).On April 15, a clergyman was stabbed in Sydney, Australia, and, like some other horrific incidents these days, it was broadcast online. Australia's national regulator, eSafety, requested that all social media platforms take down the video. While eSafety claims Meta, Google, TikTok and more removed it, X only stopped Australian viewers from accessing the video — something a VPN can easily circumvent. When eSafety pushed for it to be fully taken down, X's CEO Elon Musk called the request an assault on free…

Slack and Machine Learning: Use real-time Python to elevate work culture | Deephaven

Slack and Machine Learning: Use real-time Python to elevate work culture | Deephaven

Deephaven is a query engine that excels at working with real-time data. Data scientists and developers use Deephaven to analyze capital markets, blockchains, cryptocurrency, gaming, sports, and e-commerce. Why not use it for addressing ethical issues and improving an organization's climate as well?According to the MIT Sloan Management Review, toxic work culture is the biggest reason why people quit their jobs. Their research estimates it’s 10 times more important than salary.Modern machine learning algorithms make recognizing toxic content in business messaging tools doable. Deephaven's real-time capabilities make it easy.Today, we'll demonstrate how to create a working prototype of a solution…

Putin and his Kremlin clique are rolling out their own kids at the ‘Russian Davos’

It's the time of the year for the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum — or the "Russian Davos," as it's sometimes called.This list of high-profile world leaders has become substantially shorter since Russia invaded Ukraine, triggering sweeping sanctions against Putin's regime.This year, the biggest names attending the event include Bolivian President Luis Arce and Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa.But the four-day economic forum, which started on Wednesday, now also features the children of the Kremlin's top echelons, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday.The nepo babies in attendance include Maria Vorontsova and Katerina Tikhonova, Putin's low-profile daughters. Vorontsova, a 39-year-old endocrinologist, is representing the…

Exploring the Potential of Polynomial Basis Functions in Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks: A Comparative Study of Different Groups of Polynomials

Exploring the Potential of Polynomial Basis Functions in Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks: A Comparative Study of Different Groups of Polynomials

arXiv:2406.02583v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper presents a comprehensive survey of 18 distinct polynomials and their potential applications in Kolmogorov-Arnold Network (KAN) models as an alternative to traditional spline-based methods. The polynomials are classified into various groups based on their mathematical properties, such as orthogonal polynomials, hypergeometric polynomials, q-polynomials, Fibonacci-related polynomials, combinatorial polynomials, and number-theoretic polynomials. The study aims to investigate the suitability of these polynomials as basis functions in KAN models for complex tasks like handwritten digit classification on the MNIST dataset. The performance metrics of the KAN models, including overall accuracy, Kappa, and F1 score, are evaluated…
