Visualising AI spending: How does it compare with history's mega projects?
Visualising AI spending: How does it compare with history's mega projects? World leaders and tech executives are convening in New Delhi for the India-AI Impact Summit 2026, focusing on the role of artificial intelligence in governance, job disruption and global collaboration. However, behind these discussions lies the financial reality. Over the past decade, AI has drawn one of the largest waves of private investment in modern history, totalling trillions of dollars. According to Gartner, a United States-based business and technology insights company, worldwide spending on AI is forecast to total $2.5 trillion in 2026, a 44 percent increase over 2025.

These datasets enable large-scale study of abuse detection for these languages. Anonymized comments: To further address privacy concerns, we anonymize our dataset. We combine thehate and offensivecategories in these datasets for training a binary classification model. We showthepercentage (%)ofemoticons present inourdatasetMACDinTable12. Infuture work,we will investigate in detail about the impact of emoticons on abuse detection. However,duetothe limited scale and diversity of abuse detection datasets in Indic languages, development of these models for Indic languages has been severely impeded.
Image Understanding Makes for A Good Tokenizer for Image Generation Luting Wang Y ang Zhao
Modern image generation (IG) models have been shown to capture rich semantics valuable for image understanding (IU) tasks. However, the potential of IU models to improve IG performance remains uncharted. We address this issue using a token-based IG framework, which relies on effective tokenizers to map images into token sequences. Currently, pixel reconstruction (e.g., VQGAN) dominates the training objective for tokenizers. In contrast, our approach adopts the feature reconstruction objective, where tokenizers are trained by distilling knowledge from pretrained IU encoders. Comprehensive comparisons indicate that tokeniz-ers with strong IU capabilities achieve superior IG performance across a variety of metrics, datasets, tasks, and proposal networks.
A Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning Based Optimization Framework for Large-scale Dynamic Pickup and Delivery Problems Yi Ma
To address this problem, existing methods partition the overall DPDP into fixed-size sub-problems by caching online generated orders and solve each sub-problem, or on this basis to utilize the predicted future orders to optimize each sub-problem further. However, the solution quality and efficiency of these methods are unsatisfactory, especially when the problem scale is very large.
