NASA helped me uncover proof that God exists... here's the simple formula that shows the Bible was right all along

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Using equations based on orbital speeds, distances in space and the physics of turbulence, Dr Nathanael-Israel Israel claimed he uncovered evidence that the biblical account of creation was literally true. His calculations suggested that the Earth formed in 2.82 days and that the sun and moon were completed in 3.69 days, figures he said closely mirrored the timeline laid out in Genesis. Israel clarified that his formula produced separate figures of 3.32 days for the moon and 3.69 days for the sun, placing the completion of both celestial bodies on the fourth day. Because he believed no other major religion offered the same sequence of events, he argued that his work pointed specifically to the existence of the Christian God. 'People say you can't prove God, but the question is, "How can you prove God?" I'm the first person in history to offer this mathematical framework,' Dr Israel told the Daily Mail.

ConLID: Supervised Contrastive Learning for Low-Resource Language Identification

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Language identification (LID) is a critical step in curating multilingual LLM pretraining corpora from web crawls. While many studies on LID model training focus on collecting diverse training data to improve performance, low-resource languages -- often limited to single-domain data, such as the Bible -- continue to perform poorly. To resolve these class imbalance and bias issues, we propose a novel supervised contrastive learning (SCL) approach to learn domain-invariant representations for low-resource languages. Through an extensive analysis, we show that our approach improves LID performance on out-of-domain data for low-resource languages by 3.2%, demonstrating its effectiveness in enhancing LID models.


Hidden 'fingerprints' found in the Bible after thousands of years rewrite the story of the Ark of the Covenant

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Scientists have uncovered hidden patterns in the Bible that challenge ancient beliefs about its origins. Using artificial intelligence, they discovered'fingerprints' in text throughout the Old Testament, suggesting multiple people wrote the stories. The traditional Jewish and Christian understanding is that Moses wrote the first five books of the Old Testament, including stories about creation, Noah's flood and the Ark of the Covenant. The new study found three distinct writing styles with distinct vocabulary, tone and focus areas, suggesting multiple authors and sources contributed to the books over time. Researchers used AI analyzed for 50 chapters across five books, uncovering inconsistencies in language and content, repeated stories, shifts in tone and internal contradictions.


Social media users are using AI to imagine Biblical figures including Jesus, Adam & Eve, and Samson as INFLUENCERS

Daily Mail - Science & tech

From books and paintings to movies and musical theatre, artists have often drawn on the stories of the Bible for inspiration. Now, social media users are putting a distinctly modern twist on this trend by using AI to imagine biblical characters as influencers. In these videos, characters such as Adam and Eve, Samson, and David appear to'vlog' their way through the events of the Bible. In one viral video posted to X, a smiling Jesus declares from the cross: 'Yo fam, they don't know that G-O-D is about to BRB.' In another clip, an AI-generated character says: 'Your boy David here. About to yeet this little stone at Goliath and see what happens.' These short AI-generated clips have proven to be wildly popular online, with one TikTok account named theaibibleofficial racking up 26.7 million likes.


Characterizing the Effects of Translation on Intertextuality using Multilingual Embedding Spaces

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Rhetorical devices are difficult to translate, but they are crucial to the translation of literary documents. We investigate the use of multilingual embedding spaces to characterize the preservation of intertextuality, one common rhetorical device, across human and machine translation. To do so, we use Biblical texts, which are both full of intertextual references and are highly translated works. We provide a metric to characterize intertextuality at the corpus level and provide a quantitative analysis of the preservation of this rhetorical device across extant human translations and machine-generated counterparts. We go on to provide qualitative analysis of cases wherein human translations over- or underemphasize the intertextuality present in the text, whereas machine translations provide a neutral baseline. This provides support for established scholarship proposing that human translators have a propensity to amplify certain literary characteristics of the original manuscripts.


YAD: Leveraging T5 for Improved Automatic Diacritization of Yor\`ub\'a Text

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

In addition, we pre-train text-to-text transformer, T5 model for Yorùbá and showed that this model outperform several multilingually trained T5 models. Lastly, we showed that more data and larger models are better at diacritization for Yorùbá Introduction Yorùbá, a language spoken predominantly in West Africa, is renowned for its tonal nature which is characterized by a heavy use of diacritics to signify tone variations. In Yorùbá and many other languages, diacritics play a crucial role in disambiguating word meanings and in word pronunciation, making accurate diacritization essential for effective communication and language processing tasks (Skiredj & Berrada, 2024). However, manual diacritization is time-consuming and requires specialized linguistic expertise, motivating the development of automatic diacritization systems. In recent years, significant progress has been made in natural language processing (NLP) techniques, leading to the exploration of various approaches to automate the diacritization process for languages using diacritics (Náplava et al., 2018; Mubarak et al., 2019; Náplava et al., 2021; Stankevicius et al., 2022, inter alia) including Yorùbá (Orife, 2018; Orife et al., 2020).


Exploiting Domain-Specific Parallel Data on Multilingual Language Models for Low-resource Language Translation

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Neural Machine Translation (NMT) systems built on multilingual sequence-to-sequence Language Models (msLMs) fail to deliver expected results when the amount of parallel data for a language, as well as the language's representation in the model are limited. This restricts the capabilities of domain-specific NMT systems for low-resource languages (LRLs). As a solution, parallel data from auxiliary domains can be used either to fine-tune or to further pre-train the msLM. We present an evaluation of the effectiveness of these two techniques in the context of domain-specific LRL-NMT. We also explore the impact of domain divergence on NMT model performance. We recommend several strategies for utilizing auxiliary parallel data in building domain-specific NMT models for LRLs.
