The Emerging Technologies That Will Drive The Future Of Payments

The Emerging Technologies That Will Drive The Future Of Payments

As artificial intelligence (AI) continues its ascent, captivating the global imagination and reshaping industries, the financial sector stands on the brink of transformative change. A 2023 Forrester survey indicates that 63% of business and tech leaders plan to increase their investments in emerging technologies in the coming year. However, despite this fervor, only 18% reported high success rates in their previous year’s tech initiatives. This stark contrast highlights the hurdles and prospects in harnessing technology for financial innovation. Looking ahead to 2024 and beyond, it’s crucial to identify which nascent payment technologies will revolutionize transactions, customer interaction, and security, and…

EU launches office to implement AI Act and foster innovation

EU launches office to implement AI Act and foster innovation

The European Union has launched a new office dedicated to overseeing the implementation of its landmark AI Act, which is regarded as one of the most comprehensive AI regulations in the world. This new initiative adopts a risk-based approach, imposing stringent regulations on higher-risk AI applications to ensure their safe and ethical deployment. The primary goal of this office is to promote the “future development, deployment and use” of AI technologies, aiming to harness their societal and economic benefits while mitigating associated risks. By focusing on innovation and safety, the office seeks to position the EU as a global leader…

Asymmetrical estimator for training grey-box deep photonic neural networks

Asymmetrical estimator for training grey-box deep photonic neural networks

arXiv:2405.18458v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Physical neural networks (PNNs) are emerging paradigms for neural network acceleration due to their high-bandwidth, in-propagation analogue processing. Despite the advantages of PNN for inference, training remains a challenge. The imperfect information of the physical transformation means the failure of conventional gradient-based updates from backpropagation (BP). Here, we present the asymmetrical training (AT) method, which treats the PNN structure as a grey box. AT performs training while only knowing the last layer output and neuron topological connectivity of a deep neural network structure, not requiring information about the physical control-transformation mapping. We experimentally demonstrated the…

Engineering household robots to have a little common sense

Engineering household robots to have a little common sense

From wiping up spills to serving up food, robots are being taught to carry out increasingly complicated household tasks. Many such home-bot trainees are learning through imitation; they are programmed to copy the motions that a human physically guides them through. It turns out that robots are excellent mimics. But unless engineers also program them to adjust to every possible bump and nudge, robots don't necessarily know how to handle these situations, short of starting their task from the top. Now MIT engineers are aiming to give robots a bit of common sense when faced with situations that push them…

Trump hush-money jury to start second day of deliberations re-hearing Cohen, Pecker ‘conspiracy’ testimony

Trump hush-money jury to start second day of deliberations re-hearing Cohen, Pecker ‘conspiracy’ testimony

Former President Donald Trump's Manhattan jury deliberated for four-and-a-half hours on Wednesday — and their first note to the judge shows they were deep in the hush-money conspiracy weeds before breaking for the day.First thing Thursday, they'll be back in the courtroom, listening to their requested read-backs of four sections of testimony — about 30 minutes worth in total — that deal with the origins of Trump's alleged 2016 election interference scheme.The five-woman, seven-man jury asked to hear testimony by two key prosecution witnesses, former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker and former Trump attorney and "fixer" Michael Cohen.They also asked…

GHOST: Grounded Human Motion Generation with Open Vocabulary Scene-and-Text Contexts

GHOST: Grounded Human Motion Generation with Open Vocabulary Scene-and-Text Contexts

[Submitted on 8 Apr 2024] View a PDF of the paper titled GHOST: Grounded Human Motion Generation with Open Vocabulary Scene-and-Text Contexts, by Zolt'an 'A. Milacski and 4 other authors View PDF Abstract:The connection between our 3D surroundings and the descriptive language that characterizes them would be well-suited for localizing and generating human motion in context but for one problem. The complexity introduced by multiple modalities makes capturing this connection challenging with a fixed set of descriptors. Specifically, closed vocabulary scene encoders, which require learning text-scene associations from scratch, have been favored in the literature, often resulting in inaccurate motion…

Multi-objective Representation for Numbers in Clinical Narratives Using CamemBERT-bio

Multi-objective Representation for Numbers in Clinical Narratives Using CamemBERT-bio

arXiv:2405.18448v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This research aims to classify numerical values extracted from medical documents across seven distinct physiological categories, employing CamemBERT-bio. Previous studies suggested that transformer-based models might not perform as well as traditional NLP models in such tasks. To enhance CamemBERT-bio's performances, we introduce two main innovations: integrating keyword embeddings into the model and adopting a number-agnostic strategy by excluding all numerical data from the text. The implementation of label embedding techniques refines the attention mechanisms, while the technique of using a `numerical-blind' dataset aims to bolster context-centric learning. Another key component of our research is determining…
