News Site Says It’s Using to AI to Crank Out Articles Bylined by Fake Racially Diverse Writers in a Very Responsible Way

A national network of local news sites called Hoodline is using fake authors with fictional and pointedly racially diverse names to byline AI-generated articles.The outlet's publisher claims it's doing so in an extremely normal, human-mitigated way. But unsurprisingly, a Nieman Lab analysis of the content and its authors suggests otherwise.Per Neiman, Hoodline websites were once a refuge for hyperlocal human-boots-on-the-ground reporting. These days, though, when you log onto a Hoodline site, you'll find articles written by a slew of entirely fabricated writers.Hoodline is owned by a company called Impress3, which in turn is helmed by a CEO named Zack Chen.

3D Orthopedic Implant Tech Startup Restor3d Lands $70M Financing

3D Orthopedic Implant Tech Startup Restor3d Lands $70M Financing

Restor3d, a North Carolina-based maker of 3D printed personalized orthopedic implants, locked up a $70 million financing — even as investors continue to cool on 3D tech startups. The round includes a $55 million Series A round led by Summers Value Partners and existing investors plus an additional $15 million in debt financing led by Trinity Capital. “This fundraising round is a testament to the confidence our investors have in restor3d’s vision and potential,” said CEO Kurt Jacobus. “With this capital, we can accelerate our efforts to transform orthopedic care through 3D printed personalized implants.” The startup plays at a…

Federated Learning-based Collaborative Wideband Spectrum Sensing and Scheduling for UAVs in UTM Systems

Federated Learning-based Collaborative Wideband Spectrum Sensing and Scheduling for UAVs in UTM Systems

[Submitted on 3 Jun 2024] View a PDF of the paper titled Federated Learning-based Collaborative Wideband Spectrum Sensing and Scheduling for UAVs in UTM Systems, by Sravan Reddy Chintareddy and 3 other authors View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:In this paper, we propose a data-driven framework for collaborative wideband spectrum sensing and scheduling for networked unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which act as the secondary users (SUs) to opportunistically utilize detected "spectrum holes". Our overall framework consists of three main stages. Firstly, in the model training stage, we explore dataset generation in a multi-cell environment and training a machine learning (ML) model…

AI used to predict potential new antibiotics in groundbreaking study

A new study used machine learning to predict potential new antibiotics in the global microbiome, which study authors say marks a significant advance in the use of artificial intelligence in antibiotic resistance research.The report, published Wednesday in the journal Cell, details the findings of scientists who used an algorithm to mine the “entirety of the microbial diversity that we have on earth – or a huge representation of that – and find almost 1m new molecules encoded or hidden within all that microbial dark matter”, said César de la Fuente, an author of the study and professor at the University…

The Empirical Impact of Forgetting and Transfer in Continual Visual Odometry

The Empirical Impact of Forgetting and Transfer in Continual Visual Odometry

arXiv:2406.01797v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As robotics continues to advance, the need for adaptive and continuously-learning embodied agents increases, particularly in the realm of assistance robotics. Quick adaptability and long-term information retention are essential to operate in dynamic environments typical of humans' everyday lives. A lifelong learning paradigm is thus required, but it is scarcely addressed by current robotics literature. This study empirically investigates the impact of catastrophic forgetting and the effectiveness of knowledge transfer in neural networks trained continuously in an embodied setting. We focus on the task of visual odometry, which holds primary importance for embodied agents in…

How Skyflow creates technical content in days using Amazon Bedrock | Amazon Web Services

How Skyflow creates technical content in days using Amazon Bedrock | Amazon Web Services

This guest post is co-written with Manny Silva, Head of Documentation at Skyflow, Inc. Startups move quickly, and engineering is often prioritized over documentation. Unfortunately, this prioritization leads to release cycles that don’t match, where features release but documentation lags behind. This leads to increased support calls and unhappy customers. Skyflow is a data privacy vault provider that makes it effortless to secure sensitive data and enforce privacy policies. Skyflow experienced this growth and documentation challenge in early 2023 as it expanded globally from 8 to 22 AWS Regions, including China and other areas of the world such as Saudi…

TruthEval: A Dataset to Evaluate LLM Truthfulness and Reliability

TruthEval: A Dataset to Evaluate LLM Truthfulness and Reliability

arXiv:2406.01855v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Model (LLM) evaluation is currently one of the most important areas of research, with existing benchmarks proving to be insufficient and not completely representative of LLMs' various capabilities. We present a curated collection of challenging statements on sensitive topics for LLM benchmarking called TruthEval. These statements were curated by hand and contain known truth values. The categories were chosen to distinguish LLMs' abilities from their stochastic nature. We perform some initial analyses using this dataset and find several instances of LLMs failing in simple tasks showing their inability to understand simple questions. Source…

The five-stage journey organizations take to achieve AI maturity

Time's almost up! There's only one week left to request an invite to The AI Impact Tour on June 5th. Don't miss out on this incredible opportunity to explore various methods for auditing AI models. Find out how you can attend here. There’s practically a new study examining artificial intelligence’s impact on the workplace every week. Microsoft and LinkedIn released their annual Work Trend Index last month, concluding workers are embracing AI while employers remain largely paralyzed by indecision. Now, Asana and Anthropic have teamed up on this year’s State of AI at Work study. The findings More than 5,000…
