Anthropic is doubling Claude's usage limits during off-peak hours for the next two weeks

Engadget

Anthropic is doubling Claude's usage limits during off-peak hours for the next two weeks The promotion runs from March 13 to March 27. To capitalize on Claude's recent spike in popularity, Anthropic is offering a limited-time promotion that doubles usage limits for anyone using its AI chatbot during off-peak hours. From March 13 to March 27, users on Free, Pro, Max, and Team plans will get double the usage limits in a five-hour window when using Claude outside weekday hours between 8 AM and 2 PM ET. According to Anthropic, the promotion is automatic, and users don't have to enable anything to get the benefits. A small thank you to everyone using Claude: We're doubling usage outside our peak hours for the next two weeks.



A Simple Cache Model for Image Recognition

Neural Information Processing Systems

Training large-scale image recognition models is computationally expensive. This raises the question of whether there might be simple ways to improve the test performance of an already trained model without having to re-train or fine-tune it with new data. Here, we show that, surprisingly, this is indeed possible. The key observation we make is that the layers of a deep network close to the output layer contain independent, easily extractable class-relevant information that is not contained in the output layer itself. We propose to extract this extra class-relevant information using a simple key-value cache memory to improve the classification performance of the model at test time.


Paraphrasing Complex Network: Network Compression via Factor Transfer

Neural Information Processing Systems

Many researchers have sought ways of model compression to reduce the size of a deep neural network (DNN) with minimal performance degradation in order to use DNNs in embedded systems. Among the model compression methods, a method called knowledge transfer is to train a student network with a stronger teacher network. In this paper, we propose a novel knowledge transfer method which uses convolutional operations to paraphrase teacher's knowledge and to translate it for the student. This is done by two convolutional modules, which are called a paraphraser and a translator. The paraphraser is trained in an unsupervised manner to extract the teacher factors which are defined as paraphrased information of the teacher network. The translator located at the student network extracts the student factors and helps to translate the teacher factors by mimicking them. We observed that our student network trained with the proposed factor transfer method outperforms the ones trained with conventional knowledge transfer methods.



Marine biologists spot rare blue whales off Massachusetts coast

Popular Science

The team observed the gentle giants two days in a row. Blue whales can be found in every ocean except the Arctic. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. As if soaring above the brilliant blue ocean isn't spectacular enough, the New England Aquarium's aerial survey team recently experienced two back-two-back sightings of blue whales --a little déjà blue, per the aquarium's clever social media post. The first sighting occurred on February 27, when scientists from the Aquarium's Anderson Cabot Center for Ocean Life spotted a blue whale ().

Immature men are to blame for Britain's'missing babies', report warns - because they delay responsibilities until later in life Britain's'missing babies' can be blamed on immature men who are delaying responsibilities until later in life, according to a report. Research from the Centre for Social Justice (CSJ) think tank predicts around 600,000 young women may miss out on motherhood partly because men don't feel ready for children until they get older. In the report, called Baby Bust, the organisation says there are a range of reasons for falling birth rates including the cost of childcare, wanting to move into a larger house, prioritising a career or not finding the right partner.
