'We have had enough': thousands of University of Sydney staff walk off the job over AI and job security

The Guardian

Students and staff gather at the University of Sydney as union members take strike action. Students and staff gather at the University of Sydney as union members take strike action. 'We have had enough': thousands of University of Sydney staff walk off the job over AI and job security The same week union members at the University of Sydney agreed to a 24-hour strike, staff received the results of an internal survey. In the faculty of arts and social sciences, 0% agreed with the statement: "I trust the University of Sydney to act in the best interests of staff, students and the broader community." It was the issue of trust, alongside longstanding concerns over staff protections from artificial intelligence, workload fairness and job security, that saw about 2,000 members to walk off the job on Wednesday.

Coursera founder Andrew Ng has listed key AI development skills. Some industry experts suggest the list is too focused on building. Engineers must also understand the business problem and risks. Is it time to think outside the box for software engineering AI skills?

Unlocking Multimodal Mathematical Reasoning via Process Reward Model

Neural Information Processing Systems

Process Reward Models (PRMs) have shown promise in enhancing the mathematical reasoning capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) through Test-Time Scaling (TTS). However, their integration into multimodal reasoning remains largely unexplored. In this work, we take the first step toward unlocking the potential of PRMs in multimodal mathematical reasoning. We identify three key challenges: (i) the scarcity of high-quality reasoning data constrains the capabilities of foundation Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs), which imposes further limitations on the upper bounds of TTS and reinforcement learning (RL); (ii) a lack of automated methods for process labeling within multimodal contexts persists; (iii) the employment of process rewards in unimodal RL faces issues like reward hacking, which may extend to multimodal scenarios. To address these issues, we introduce URSA, a three-stage Unfolding multimodal pRocessSupervision Aided training framework. We first construct MMathCoT-1M, a high-quality large-scale multimodal Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning dataset, to build a stronger math reasoning foundation MLLM, URSA-8B. Subsequently, we go through an automatic process to synthesize process supervision data, which emphasizes both logical correctness and perceptual consistency. We introduce DualMath-1.1M to facilitate the training of URSA-8B-RM.
