Fusion Startup Xcimer Lands $100M, Boosting Sector’s Lackluster Funding

stp2y0 CommentsRAG models

Just four days ago, we published a story about how fusion funding had fizzled out in recent quarters, particularly for mega-sized rounds. At the time, I noted that a single big round or two could quickly cause this narrative to change. But I hadn’t anticipated it would happen so quickly. Turns out, it did. This morning, Denver-based Xcimer Energy announced it raised $100 million in a Series A financing led by Hedosophia and joined by Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Lowercarbon Capital, Prelude Ventures, Emerson Collective, Gigascale Capital and Starlight Ventures. The company is working on what it describes as a transformative technology…

stp2y0 CommentsNews

Last week, Deephaven announced its URI package. A URI is a sequence of characters that identifies a resource on the web. Think of a URI as a generalization of a URL. A Deephaven URI identifies a table. By linking to a URI, you share your results with others without them needing to replicate your setup or know the details of your queries.When you share a URI, it shares your table without sharing any of the work.It takes one import and one line of code to resolve a URI:from deephaven.uri import resolveshared_table = resolve(f"dh+plain://{your_host}:{your_port}/scope/{your_table})This is the sixth and final blog in…

Google Cut Back AI Overviews in Search Even Before Its ‘Pizza Glue’ Fiasco

As anyone who so much as glanced at the internet in the past few weeks probably noticed, Google’s sweeping AI upgrade to its search engine had a rocky start. Within days of the company launching AI-generated answers to search queries called AI Overviews, the feature was widely mocked for producing wrong and sometimes bonkers answers, like recommendations to eat rocks or make pizza with glue.New data from search engine optimization firm BrightEdge suggests that Google has significantly reduced how often it is showing people AI Overviews since the feature launched, and had in fact already substantially curbed the feature prior…

Fairness in Autonomous Driving: Towards Understanding Confounding Factors in Object Detection under Challenging Weather

stp2y0 CommentsViral News

[Submitted on 31 May 2024] View a PDF of the paper titled Fairness in Autonomous Driving: Towards Understanding Confounding Factors in Object Detection under Challenging Weather, by Bimsara Pathiraja and 2 other authors View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:The deployment of autonomous vehicles (AVs) is rapidly expanding to numerous cities. At the heart of AVs, the object detection module assumes a paramount role, directly influencing all downstream decision-making tasks by considering the presence of nearby pedestrians, vehicles, and more. Despite high accuracy of pedestrians detected on held-out datasets, the potential presence of algorithmic bias in such object detectors, particularly in challenging…

The AI workers are also asking that AI companies work to "support a culture of open criticism," as they write in an open letter,…

CrossVoice: Crosslingual Prosody Preserving Cascade-S2ST using Transfer Learning

stp2y0 CommentsViral News

arXiv:2406.00021v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper presents CrossVoice, a novel cascade-based Speech-to-Speech Translation (S2ST) system employing advanced ASR, MT, and TTS technologies with cross-lingual prosody preservation through transfer learning. We conducted comprehensive experiments comparing CrossVoice with direct-S2ST systems, showing improved BLEU scores on tasks such as Fisher Es-En, VoxPopuli Fr-En and prosody preservation on benchmark datasets CVSS-T and IndicTTS. With an average mean opinion score of 3.75 out of 4, speech synthesized by CrossVoice closely rivals human speech on the benchmark, highlighting the efficacy of cascade-based systems and transfer learning in multilingual S2ST with prosody transfer.

A group of current and former OpenAI employees have issued a public letter warning that the company and its rivals are building artificial intelligence with undue risk, without sufficient oversight, and while muzzling employees who might witness irresponsible activities.“These risks range from the further entrenchment of existing inequalities, to manipulation and misinformation, to the loss of control of autonomous AI systems potentially resulting in human extinction,” reads the letter published at righttowarn.ai. “So long as there is no effective government oversight of these corporations, current and former employees are among the few people who can hold them accountable.”The letter calls…
