MomentDiff: Generative Video Moment Retrieval from Random to Real

Neural Information Processing Systems

To achieve this goal, we provide a generative diffusion-based framework called MomentDiff, which simulates a typical human retrieval process from random browsing to gradual localization. Specifically, we first diffuse the real span to random noise, and learn to denoise the random noise to the original span with the guidance of similarity between text and video.



Strong and Precise Modulation of Human Percepts via Robustified ANNs Supplementary Material Pixel budget regimes

Subject screening To gain entry into the study, subjects were required to first perform a "demo" task consisting of 100 We refer to measures of human choice probability that are lapse-rate correct in this manner as "Normalized" (e.g., Supp. The typically observed lapse rates were quite low (median over subjects: 0%; mean 4.9%), indicating Figure 3: Human disruption rates are largely stable across stimulus presentation times. At shorter viewing times, we observed modest or no increases in disruption rate. Source images were captured with a smartphone camera.

Activist Palliser takes stake in toilet maker Toto in AI play

The Japan Times

Activist fund Palliser Capital has taken a stake in Japanese washlet maker Toto, and is urging the company to boost promotion of its little-known chip parts business. Activist fund Palliser Capital has taken a stake in Japanese washlet maker Toto and is pushing the firm to ramp up promotion of its little-known chip parts business in a bid to unlock value from the artificial intelligence boom. The U.K.-based fund sent a letter to Toto's board last week calling for more disclosure about its advanced ceramics segment. The segment produces electrostatic chucks used in the manufacturing of NAND memory chips, and Palliser views the toilet maker as "the most undervalued and overlooked AI memory beneficiary," the documents show. A representative for Toto declined to comment. Insatiable demand for AI infrastructure has sent memory prices skyrocketing in recent months, boosting shares of chipmakers such as Kioxia Holdings to record highs.
