FOX News

The CyberGuy, Kurt Knutsson, tells'Fox & Friends' about the'danger' of e-scooter speed limit hacking and robot janitors doing the'dirty work' for companies. An automation company's commercial bathroom-cleaning robot is giving consumers hope that one day there will be an at-home version. Somatic, a technology-focused cleaning service based in New York City, has seemingly grown enough in the three years since its founding that consumer technology shoppers are voicing their hope for residential bathroom-cleaning robots. Technology journalist and contributor Kurt Knutsson, also known as the "CyberGuy," spoke with Ainsley Earhardt of "Fox & Friends" on Friday, Sept. 15, to discuss Somatic's offerings. "You got to see this robot from Somatic," said Knutsson during his in-studio interview.


Semantic Information Extraction for Text Data with Probability Graph

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

In this paper, the problem of semantic information extraction for resource constrained text data transmission is studied. In the considered model, a sequence of text data need to be transmitted within a communication resource-constrained network, which only allows limited data transmission. Thus, at the transmitter, the original text data is extracted with natural language processing techniques. Then, the extracted semantic information is captured in a knowledge graph. An additional probability dimension is introduced in this graph to capture the importance of each information. This semantic information extraction problem is posed as an optimization framework whose goal is to extract most important semantic information for transmission. To find an optimal solution for this problem, a Floyd's algorithm based solution coupled with an efficient sorting mechanism is proposed. Numerical results testify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm with regards to two novel performance metrics including semantic uncertainty and semantic similarity.


RMDM: A Multilabel Fakenews Dataset for Vietnamese Evidence Verification

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

In this study, we present a novel and challenging multilabel Vietnamese dataset (RMDM) designed to assess the performance of large language models (LLMs), in verifying electronic information related to legal contexts, focusing on fake news as potential input for electronic evidence. The RMDM dataset comprises four labels: real, mis, dis, and mal, representing real information, misinformation, disinformation, and mal-information, respectively. By including these diverse labels, RMDM captures the complexities of differing fake news categories and offers insights into the abilities of different language models to handle various types of information that could be part of electronic evidence. The dataset consists of a total of 1,556 samples, with 389 samples for each label. Preliminary tests on the dataset using GPT-based and BERT-based models reveal variations in the models' performance across different labels, indicating that the dataset effectively challenges the ability of various language models to verify the authenticity of such information. Our findings suggest that verifying electronic information related to legal contexts, including fake news, remains a difficult problem for language models, warranting further attention from the research community to advance toward more reliable AI models for potential legal applications.


A Statistical Turing Test for Generative Models

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

The emergence of human-like abilities of AI systems for content generation in domains such as text, audio, and vision has prompted the development of classifiers to determine whether content originated from a human or a machine. Implicit in these efforts is an assumption that the generation properties of a human are different from that of the machine. In this work, we provide a framework in the language of statistical pattern recognition that quantifies the difference between the distributions of human and machine-generated content conditioned on an evaluation context. We describe current methods in the context of the framework and demonstrate how to use the framework to evaluate the progression of generative models towards human-like capabilities, among many axes of analysis.


Best alternatives to ChatGPT

FOX News

ChatGPT has proven it can help students with their homework, but now it is helping teachers create those very courses, a computer science professor told Fox News. I'm still amazed at how ChatGPT can help write a toast to put people in stitches at a wedding, construct a legal argument to bolster a case and even help with a college admissions essay despite the number of errors the human eye can catch. Even with the glitches, using a chatbot still astounds most people who manage to put in perfect prompts to get wildly in-depth instant answers. And while OpenAI's ChatGPT is impressive, it's not the only option you should be confined to using. In fact, some of the biggest tech companies in the world are competing to create their own latest and greatest chatbots that can rival or surpass the AI amazement of ChatGPT.

'America's Got Talent' judge Howie Mandel explains why he isn't afraid of artificial intelligence and is ready to use it in his own life. While much of Hollywood is wary of artificial intelligence, Howie Mandel has no such fears. The "America's Got Talent" judge told Fox News Digital, "I am embracing AI. I have AI in my office." He continued, explaining, "I work with a company that is creating a proto, they're called, they're a hologram company that does it. And I love the ability to do more things than I can do and be in more places than I can be with the use of technology."


Fin-Fact: A Benchmark Dataset for Multimodal Financial Fact Checking and Explanation Generation

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Fact-checking in financial domain is under explored, and there is a shortage of quality dataset in this domain. In this paper, we propose Fin-Fact, a benchmark dataset for multimodal fact-checking within the financial domain. Notably, it includes professional fact-checker annotations and justifications, providing expertise and credibility. With its multimodal nature encompassing both textual and visual content, Fin-Fact provides complementary information sources to enhance factuality analysis. Its primary objective is combating misinformation in finance, fostering transparency, and building trust in financial reporting and news dissemination. By offering insightful explanations, Fin-Fact empowers users, including domain experts and end-users, to understand the reasoning behind fact-checking decisions, validating claim credibility, and fostering trust in the fact-checking process. The Fin-Fact dataset, along with our experimental codes is available at https://github.com/IIT-DM/Fin-Fact/.


Beyond Labels: Leveraging Deep Learning and LLMs for Content Metadata

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Content metadata plays a very important role in movie recommender systems as it provides valuable information about various aspects of a movie such as genre, cast, plot synopsis, box office summary, etc. Analyzing the metadata can help understand the user preferences to generate personalized recommendations and item cold starting. In this talk, we will focus on one particular type of metadata - \textit{genre} labels. Genre labels associated with a movie or a TV series help categorize a collection of titles into different themes and correspondingly setting up the audience expectation. We present some of the challenges associated with using genre label information and propose a new way of examining the genre information that we call as the \textit{Genre Spectrum}. The Genre Spectrum helps capture the various nuanced genres in a title and our offline and online experiments corroborate the effectiveness of the approach. Furthermore, we also talk about applications of LLMs in augmenting content metadata which could eventually be used to achieve effective organization of recommendations in user's 2-D home-grid.


GPT as a Baseline for Recommendation Explanation Texts

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

In this work, we establish a baseline potential for how modern model-generated text explanations of movie recommendations may help users, and explore what different components of these text explanations that users like or dislike, especially in contrast to existing human movie reviews. We found that participants gave no significantly different rankings between movies, nor did they give significantly different individual quality scores to reviews of movies that they had never seen before. However, participants did mark reviews as significantly better when they were movies they had seen before. We also explore specific aspects of movie review texts that participants marked as important for each quality. Overall, we establish that modern LLMs are a promising source of recommendation explanations, and we intend on further exploring personalizable text explanations in the future.


Enhance audio generation controllability through representation similarity regularization

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

This paper presents an innovative approach to enhance control over audio generation by emphasizing the alignment between audio and text representations during model training. In the context of language model-based audio generation, the model leverages input from both textual and audio token representations to predict subsequent audio tokens. However, the current configuration lacks explicit regularization to ensure the alignment between the chosen text representation and the language model's predictions. Our proposal involves the incorporation of audio and text representation regularization, particularly during the classifier-free guidance (CFG) phase, where the text condition is excluded from cross attention during language model training. The aim of this proposed representation regularization is to minimize discrepancies in audio and text similarity compared to other samples within the same training batch. Experimental results on both music and audio generation tasks demonstrate that our proposed methods lead to improvements in objective metrics for both audio and music generation, as well as an enhancement in the human perception for audio generation.
