Following Kirk, the second most searched subject was Ozzy Osbourne .

Intention Recognition in Real-Time Interactive Navigation Maps

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

In this demonstration, we develop IntentRec4Maps, a system to recognise users' intentions in interactive maps for real-world navigation. IntentRec4Maps uses the Google Maps Platform as the real-world interactive map, and a very effective approach for recognising users' intentions in real-time. We showcase the recognition process of IntentRec4Maps using two different Path-Planners and a Large Language Model (LLM). GitHub: https://github.com/PeijieZ/IntentRec4Maps


Optimizing Knowledge Integration in Retrieval-Augmented Generation with Self-Selection

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), which integrates external knowledge into Large Language Models (LLMs), has proven effective in enabling LLMs to produce more accurate and reliable responses. However, it remains a significant challenge how to effectively integrate external retrieved knowledge with internal parametric knowledge in LLMs. In this work, we propose a novel Self-Selection RAG framework, where the LLM is made to select from pairwise responses generated with internal parametric knowledge solely and with external retrieved knowledge together to achieve enhanced accuracy. To this end, we devise a Self-Selection-RGP method to enhance the capabilities of the LLM in both generating and selecting the correct answer, by training the LLM with Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) over a curated Retrieval Generation Preference (RGP) dataset. Experimental results with two open-source LLMs (i.e., Llama2-13B-Chat and Mistral-7B) well demonstrate the superiority of our approach over other baseline methods on Natural Questions (NQ) and TrivialQA datasets.


I tested Google's 'Add Me' tool which uses AI to help you gatecrash group photos - with hilarious results

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Every family and friendship group has that one person who is always the designated photographer. If that's you, you'll be happy to hear that the days of missing out on being in group photos are finally a thing of the past. Google's Pixel 9 smartphones go on sale this week, and there's one new tool that people can't wait to try - Add Me. As the name suggests, Add Me allows photographers to add themselves into group snaps, using artificial intelligence (AI). Ahead of its release tomorrow, Google sent MailOnline's Shivali Best the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL so she could try Add Me for herself - with hilarious results.


IndicGenBench: A Multilingual Benchmark to Evaluate Generation Capabilities of LLMs on Indic Languages

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

As large language models (LLMs) see increasing adoption across the globe, it is imperative for LLMs to be representative of the linguistic diversity of the world. India is a linguistically diverse country of 1.4 Billion people. To facilitate research on multilingual LLM evaluation, we release IndicGenBench - the largest benchmark for evaluating LLMs on user-facing generation tasks across a diverse set 29 of Indic languages covering 13 scripts and 4 language families. IndicGenBench is composed of diverse generation tasks like cross-lingual summarization, machine translation, and cross-lingual question answering. IndicGenBench extends existing benchmarks to many Indic languages through human curation providing multi-way parallel evaluation data for many under-represented Indic languages for the first time. We evaluate a wide range of proprietary and open-source LLMs including GPT-3.5, GPT-4, PaLM-2, mT5, Gemma, BLOOM and LLaMA on IndicGenBench in a variety of settings. The largest PaLM-2 models performs the best on most tasks, however, there is a significant performance gap in all languages compared to English showing that further research is needed for the development of more inclusive multilingual language models. IndicGenBench is released at www.github.com/google-research-datasets/indic-gen-bench


Kate Middleton and the End of Shared Reality

The Atlantic - Technology

If you're looking for an image that perfectly showcases the confusion and chaos of a choose-your-own-reality information dystopia, you probably couldn't do better than yesterday's portrait of Catherine, Princess of Wales. In just one day, the photograph has transformed from a hastily released piece of public-relations damage control into something of a Rorschach test--a collision between plausibility and conspiracy. For the uninitiated: Yesterday, in celebration of Mother's Day in the U.K., the Royal Family released a portrait on Instagram of Kate Middleton with her three children. But this was no ordinary photo. Middleton has been away from the public eye since December reportedly because of unspecified health issues, leading to a ceaseless parade of conspiracy theories. Royal watchers and news organizations naturally pored over the image, and they found a number of alarming peculiarities.


The 10 giveaways that a picture has been photoshopped, according to experts - amid Princess Kate's doctored family pic scandal

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Everyone from influencers to celebrities - and now, even the British monarchy - have been caught altering their photos shared online. Experts say it is becoming increasingly difficult with AI and photo-editing apps - but there are still 10 giveaways that you should be aware of. These include checking the edges of people and objects, investigating shadows and inspecting the background for curves. The tips comes as multiple major news agencies withdrew Kensington Palace's first photo of Princess of Wales Kate Middleton on Sunday, after picture editors noticed at least 16 different details that did not look right. Kensington Palace yesterday released the first picture of the Princess of Wales since surgery. Major news agencies quickly pulled the photo after editors noticed more than a dozen details that suggested it had been altered.
