Diversity is Definitely Needed: Improving Model-Agnostic Zero-shot Classification via Stable Diffusion

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

In this work, we investigate the problem of Model-Agnostic Zero-Shot Classification (MA-ZSC), which refers to training non-specific classification architectures (downstream models) to classify real images without using any real images during training. Recent research has demonstrated that generating synthetic training images using diffusion models provides a potential solution to address MA-ZSC. However, the performance of this approach currently falls short of that achieved by large-scale vision-language models. One possible explanation is a potential significant domain gap between synthetic and real images. Our work offers a fresh perspective on the problem by providing initial insights that MA-ZSC performance can be improved by improving the diversity of images in the generated dataset. We propose a set of modifications to the text-to-image generation process using a pre-trained diffusion model to enhance diversity, which we refer to as our $\textbf{bag of tricks}$. Our approach shows notable improvements in various classification architectures, with results comparable to state-of-the-art models such as CLIP. To validate our approach, we conduct experiments on CIFAR10, CIFAR100, and EuroSAT, which is particularly difficult for zero-shot classification due to its satellite image domain. We evaluate our approach with five classification architectures, including ResNet and ViT. Our findings provide initial insights into the problem of MA-ZSC using diffusion models. All code will be available on GitHub.

Are Those Jay-Z and Kendrick Lamar AI-Generated Verses Legal? An IP Lawyer Weighs In

#artificialintelligence

By now you've probably heard the deepfake AI-generated verses mimicking rappers like Drake, Kendrick Lamar, Nas, and Jay-Z. While the technology was shaky at first, these days it's so eerily good it's almost impossible to even tell you're listening to a fake -- especially when the creator has the cadence and delivery of your favorite rapper down pat. As the world continues to immerse itself in AI -- from sophisticated language models like ChatGPT and Bing (or Sydney if you ask it the right way) to AI image generators, and more -- the lightening-fast pace of the technology seems to be outrunning society's ability to adapt to the new future. Deepfakes can be entertaining -- we all loved Kendrick Lamar's "The Heart Part 5" video, but they can also be scary, even dangerous. As Axios pointed out in February, right now generative AI is a legal minefield.


Anthropic's $5B, 4-year plan to take on OpenAI

#artificialintelligence

AI research startup Anthropic aims to raise as much as $5 billion over the next two years to take on rival OpenAI and enter over a dozen major industries, according to company documents obtained by TechCrunch. A pitch deck for Anthropic's Series C fundraising round discloses these and other long-term goals for the company, which was founded in 2020 by former OpenAI researchers. In the deck, Anthropic says that it plans to build a "frontier model" -- tentatively called "Claude-Next" -- 10 times more capable than today's most powerful AI, but that this will require a billion dollars in spending over the next 18 months. When contacted for comment, an Anthropic spokesperson said: "We are planning additional product announcements and will be talking about them soon." The Information reported in early March that Anthropic was seeking to raise $300 million at $4.1 billion valuation, bringing its total raised to $1.3 billion.


EU: ChatGPT spurs debate about AI regulation โ€“ DW โ€“ 04/15/2023

#artificialintelligence

Garante, the Italian data protection authority, apparently jumped the gun at the end of March when it imposed a temporary ban on ChatGPT, a chatbot that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to generate texts that seem as if they were created by humans, and computer games. The watchdog was less concerned by the use of AI -- the simulation of human intelligence by computer systems -- than by breaches of data protection legislation. Garante then told the Microsoft Corp-backed company behind ChatGPT, OpenAI, that it would have to be more transparent with its users about how their data were processed. It also said that the US company had to obtain permission from users if their data were to be used to further develop the software -- that is, to help it learn -- and that access to minors had to be filtered. In a press release, the Italian authority said that the ban would be lifted if OpenAI met these conditions by April 30.

OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman Says We're Not Training GPT-5 And We Won't For Some Time

#artificialintelligence

During a conversation about potential risks associated with AI systems, Sam Altman, co-founder and CEO of OpenAI, confirmed that the organization is not training GPT-5, the anticipated successor to its GPT-4 AI language model, which was released in March. Altman made this statement while speaking at an event held at MIT, where he was asked about an open letter circulated among the tech community. The letter requested that labs such as OpenAI must pause the development of AI systems that are "more powerful than GPT-4" due to concerns about the safety of future systems. However, the letter has been criticized by numerous industry professionals, including some of its signatories. Experts disagree on the level of threat posed by AI, as well as on how the industry can "pause" development in the first place. Altman stated that the letter "lacks most of the technical nuances about where we need the pause" and highlighted that an earlier version of the letter had claimed that OpenAI was currently training GPT-5.


Elon Musk reportedly planning to launch AI rival to ChatGPT maker

The Guardian

Elon Musk is reportedly planning to launch an artificial intelligence company to compete with OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, as Silicon Valley battles for dominance in the rapidly developing technology. The billionaire boss of Tesla and Twitter is in the process of bringing together a team of AI researchers and engineers and is in talks with several investors about the project, according to the Financial Times. "A bunch of people are investing in it โ€ฆ it's real and they are excited about it," a person with knowledge of the talks told the newspaper, which cited Nevada business records showing that on 9 March Musk incorporated a company called X.AI of which he is the company's sole director. The move, which would mean him joining tech giants Microsoft, Google and Amazon and startups including OpenAI in the fast-changing generative AI space, appears to signal a rapid change of direction. Only a few weeks ago Musk co-signed a letter in which he and more than 1,800 others demanded a six-month pause in AI research.


Elon Musk forms X.AI artificial intelligence company - Grand Coverage

#artificialintelligence

Elon Musk has formed an X.AI artificial intelligence corporation based in the US state of Nevada, according to business documents that surfaced on Friday. Musk, who is already the boss of Twitter and Tesla, was listed as director of X.AI Corporation founded on March 9, a state business filing indicated. Musk recently merged Twitter with a newly created "X" shell company, keeping the brand name for the platform but not the business. Musk's founding of what appears to be a rival to ChatGPT-maker OpenAI came despite recently calling for an overall pause in developing artificial intelligence. Musk has bought thousands of powerful, costly computing processors and hired engineering talent as part of an AI project at Twitter, according to an Insider report.
