From Setup to Uptime: Creating a Highly Available Windows 11 VM

From Setup to Uptime: Creating a Highly Available Windows 11 VM

INTRODUCTION Downtime is not an option in the always connected digital world of today. Making virtual machines highly available is essential, whether for development, testing, or production. We'll go over how to set up a Windows 11 Virtual Machine (VM) step by step, with a focus on high availability. This guide will help you create a stable and reliable VM environment. Let’s get started. 1. CREATE A WINDOWS 11 VM ON AZURE 2. CONNECT TO THE VIRTUAL MACHINE open the downloaded file click connect and follow the prompts type in the password set for the administrator account And with this…

WildLMa: Long Horizon Loco-Manipulation in the Wild

WildLMa: Long Horizon Loco-Manipulation in the Wild

arXiv:2411.15131v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: `In-the-wild' mobile manipulation aims to deploy robots in diverse real-world environments, which requires the robot to (1) have skills that generalize across object configurations; (2) be capable of long-horizon task execution in diverse environments; and (3) perform complex manipulation beyond pick-and-place. Quadruped robots with manipulators hold promise for extending the workspace and enabling robust locomotion, but existing results do not investigate such a capability. This paper proposes WildLMa with three components to address these issues: (1) adaptation of learned low-level controller for VR-enabled whole-body teleoperation and traversability; (2) WildLMa-Skill -- a library of generalizable visuomotor…

GMAI-VL & GMAI-VL-5.5M: A Large Vision-Language Model and A Comprehensive Multimodal Dataset Towards General Medical AI

GMAI-VL & GMAI-VL-5.5M: A Large Vision-Language Model and A Comprehensive Multimodal Dataset Towards General Medical AI

arXiv:2411.14522v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Despite significant advancements in general artificial intelligence, such as GPT-4, their effectiveness in the medical domain (general medical AI, GMAI) remains constrained due to the absence of specialized medical knowledge. To address this challenge, we present GMAI-VL-5.5M, a comprehensive multimodal medical dataset created by converting hundreds of specialized medical datasets into meticulously constructed image-text pairs. This dataset features comprehensive task coverage, diverse modalities, and high-quality image-text data. Building upon this multimodal dataset, we propose GMAI-VL, a general medical vision-language model with a progressively three-stage training strategy. This approach significantly enhances the model's ability by integrating…

Exploring the Potential Role of Generative AI in the TRAPD Procedure for Survey Translation

Exploring the Potential Role of Generative AI in the TRAPD Procedure for Survey Translation

[Submitted on 18 Nov 2024] View a PDF of the paper titled Exploring the Potential Role of Generative AI in the TRAPD Procedure for Survey Translation, by Erica Ann Metheney and Lauren Yehle View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:This paper explores and assesses in what ways generative AI can assist in translating survey instruments. Writing effective survey questions is a challenging and complex task, made even more difficult for surveys that will be translated and deployed in multiple linguistic and cultural settings. Translation errors can be detrimental, with known errors rendering data unusable for its intended purpose and undetected errors leading…
