Conditional Self-Attention for Query-based Summarization
Xie, Yujia, Zhou, Tianyi, Mao, Yi, Chen, Weizhu
Self-attention mechanisms have achieved great success on a variety of NLP tasks due to its flexibility of capturing dependency between arbitrary positions in a sequence. For problems such as query-based summarization (Qsumm) and knowledge graph reasoning where each input sequence is associated with an extra query, explicitly modeling such conditional contextual dependencies can lead to a more accurate solution, which however cannot be captured by existing self-attention mechanisms. In this paper, we propose \textit{conditional self-attention} (CSA), a neural network module designed for conditional dependency modeling. CSA works by adjusting the pairwise attention between input tokens in a self-attention module with the matching score of the inputs to the given query. Thereby, the contextual dependencies modeled by CSA will be highly relevant to the query. We further studied variants of CSA defined by different types of attention. Experiments on Debatepedia and HotpotQA benchmark datasets show CSA consistently outperforms vanilla Transformer and previous models for the Qsumm problem.
AI Video Colourization Without References or Human Guidance
If the great Charlie Chaplin were alive today he might well marvel at the artificial intelligence enabled colour versions of his comedy masterpieces such as Modern Times or The Idle Class. A recent research paper from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology presents a fully automatic method for colourizing black-and-white films without any human guidance or references. Film/video colourization is not a new technology. A small number of early 20th century films, such as A Trip to the Moon (1902) and The Kingdom of the Fairies (1903) were painstakingly hand-coloured, frame-by-frame, by humans. Computerized colourization was invented in the 1970s and has been widely used and steadily improved ever since.

Artificial Intelligence doing Wonders in Music Streaming Industry
Artificial intelligence and machine learning are decidedly changing the user experience on music streaming platforms. Streaming services utilize the AI to increase storage, improve search engines and improve the overall understanding of their foundation. The adoption of cell phones over 10 years ago at first gave a lift to the ascent of streaming platforms. The present execution of the AI and machine learning will take the streaming business toward a totally different way. We've progressed significantly from tuning in to vinyl records and tapes to having the option to stream music on different devices on the go.
Top 7 Facebook Groups On Artificial Intelligence You Can Join
In the ever-changing artificial intelligence landscape, developers need to embrace every possible way of keeping oneself updated with the latest developments. And one of the easiest ways to stay abreast is to be associated with AI communities on various platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, Reddit, among others. While such groups help in keeping you informed, one should not limit to just reading about the latest developments. Instead, developers should engage in sharing ideas and contributing to the community. AIM brings you a curated list of a popular and most active Facebook group related to Artificial Intelligence that will bring value in your professional journey. The Artificial Intelligence & Deep Learning group has more than 360,000 members who mostly post about news and the research related to AI.
Implementation of Decision Trees In Python
In the previous article, we studied Multiple Linear Regression. One thing that I believe is that if we can correlate anything with us or our lives, there are greater chances of understanding the concept. So I will try to explain everything by relating it to humans. A decision tree is a decision support tool that uses a tree-like graph or model of decisions and their possible consequences, including chance event outcomes, resource costs, and utility. It is one way to display an algorithm that only contains conditional control statements.
This AI can perfectly dub videos in Indic languages -- and correct lip syncing
People in India watch a lot of videos on the internet. According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, Indians spend more than 8.5GB of mobile data on average, and most of it on video. Last year, YouTube said more than 95% of content consumption is in regional languages. So naturally, there's a lot of appetite for vernacular videos, but not all creators know all Indic languages. Last week, just after Parasite won the Oscar award, Mother Jones claimed dubbing is superior than translated subtitles.
Editor's Letter: Will artificial intelligence put journalists out of work?
This has long been a staple of my collection of QTWTAIN – Questions To Which The Answer Is No. Originally the question took the form of headlines such as, "Will robots replace human journalists?" A few years ago, the questions became more insistent as some news organisations experimented with automating sports results or market reporting. The answer was still always "No". Most journalism is a form of conversation. While it is possible to imagine weather reporting or traffic updates being handled by software, writing news stories or comment articles is a form of Turing test that computers are still a long way from passing.
