In my opinion, Kroger and Safeway's pies were quite underbaked and didn't taste great. Whole Foods had the best option, but I'd probably just opt to make my own dessert at home.

StreetviewLLM: Extracting Geographic Information Using a Chain-of-Thought Multimodal Large Language Model

StreetviewLLM: Extracting Geographic Information Using a Chain-of-Thought Multimodal Large Language Model

arXiv:2411.14476v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Geospatial predictions are crucial for diverse fields such as disaster management, urban planning, and public health. Traditional machine learning methods often face limitations when handling unstructured or multi-modal data like street view imagery. To address these challenges, we propose StreetViewLLM, a novel framework that integrates a large language model with the chain-of-thought reasoning and multimodal data sources. By combining street view imagery with geographic coordinates and textual data, StreetViewLLM improves the precision and granularity of geospatial predictions. Using retrieval-augmented generation techniques, our approach enhances geographic information extraction, enabling a detailed analysis of urban environments. The…

I tried making Ina Garten’s pumpkin, apple, and pecan pies. I’ll never use anyone else’s crust recipe again.

I followed Ina Garten's recipes for pumpkin, apple, and pecan pie to see which I liked best. The pecan pie tasted like a cocktail, and the apple pie was shockingly simple to throw together.I ended up with extra pumpkin-pie filling, but Garten's buttery crust was the real winner. With the holidays just around the corner, there's no better time to brush up on my baking skills.I cook and bake a lot, but I'm not a huge fan of making pies. I sometimes struggle to create a buttery, flaky crust, and my fillings don't always have the right texture.I decided to sharpen my…

GC-Bench: An Open and Unified Benchmark for Graph Condensation

[Submitted on 30 Jun 2024 (v1), last revised 21 Nov 2024 (this version, v2)] View a PDF of the paper titled GC-Bench: An Open and Unified Benchmark for Graph Condensation, by Qingyun Sun and 8 other authors View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:Graph condensation (GC) has recently garnered considerable attention due to its ability to reduce large-scale graph datasets while preserving their essential properties. The core concept of GC is to create a smaller, more manageable graph that retains the characteristics of the original graph. Despite the proliferation of graph condensation methods developed in recent years, there is no comprehensive evaluation…
