As large language models (LLMs) improve their capabilities in handling complex tasks, the issues of computational cost and efficiency due to long prompts are becoming increasingly prominent. To accelerate model inference and reduce costs, we propose an innovative prompt compression framework called LanguaShrink. Inspired by the observation that LLM performance depends on the density and position of key information in the input prompts, LanguaShrink leverages psycholinguistic principles and the Ebbinghaus memory curve to achieve task-agnostic prompt compression. This effectively reduces prompt length while preserving essential information. We referred to the training method of OpenChat.The framework introduces part-of-speech priority compression and data distillation techniques, using smaller models to learn compression targets and employing a KL-regularized reinforcement learning strategy for training.\cite{wang2023openchat} Additionally, we adopt a chunk-based compression algorithm to achieve adjustable compression rates. We evaluate our method on multiple datasets, including LongBench, ZeroScrolls, Arxiv Articles, and a newly constructed novel test set. Experimental results show that LanguaShrink maintains semantic similarity while achieving up to 26 times compression. Compared to existing prompt compression methods, LanguaShrink improves end-to-end latency by 1.43 times.

Care and Feeding is Slate's parenting advice column. Have a question for Care and Feeding? Submit it here or post it in the Slate Parenting Facebook group. I don't have kids but a number of my peers now have babies and toddlers, which means I've heard an awful lot of my smart, articulate friends talking about themselves in the third person, like Elmo. I understand why toddlers do this in their language acquisition journey (pronouns are hard!), but why on earth do my friends say, "Mommy loves you," and, "Mommy needs you to not touch that," when they are "Mommy"? Basically, is too much time with a toddler scrambling their brains and I'm within my rights to roll my eyes, or is there a real cognitive reason why my friends speak this way to their kids?

All beloved by the gay community way before they went mainstream. Similarly, no celebration of a decade of dating apps would be complete without acknowledging that the LGBTQ community ran to a different calendar there, too. The daddy of our contributions to now-ubiquitous swipe culture is the infamous Grindr, launched in 2009 and originally designed to coordinate hookups between likeminded gentlemen tired of chatting on glitchy websites or over discounted cocktails in samey bars. Grindr's runaway success wasn't just down to cutting out various dating-world middlemen, it also fulfilled a genuine need for the LGBTQ community. Marginalised people have always found sanctuary on the internet, scurrying to secluded corners to be better understood by those who shared their distinctive struggles, kinks or slightly nerdy hobbies; all things that might be mocked by the more conventionally attractive bantersauruses roaming our school corridors and haunting the chain pubs on our high streets.

The question: "What are you doing, Daddy?" one sunny afternoon resulted in an attempt to explain Machine Learning (ML) to my eight-year-old daughter; we are homeschooling, after all. I was sat at my desk and she was interested in what I was doing. "I'm trying to explain to this chap that Artificial Intelligence isn't something you can apply to compliance yet." Well, that opened a massive can of worms in my eight-year-old's brain. Let us start with compliance.

What are the most interesting recent videos on YouTube about artificial intelligence (AI)? We save your time filtering mega-hours of videos uploaded each day to select the most relevant and popular ones, by view-count as of 1 May 2017. The description is as appeared at YouTube. This video shows that GeForce GTX G-Assist takes advantage of cutting-edge NVIDIA artificial intelligence to bring you the next revolution in gaming. This is a video for the first-ever entire songs composed by Artificial Intelligence: "Daddy's Car" and "Mister Shadow", created by scientists at SONY CSL Research Lab.

Last year computer scientists unveiled the first song to be composed by artificial intelligence, the Beatles-esque ditty'Daddy's Car'. But it's not the first sign of AI infiltrating music-making – from self-generating soundtracks to unique albums created on demand, the robots are on the march. Jack Needham asks if we're ready for the AI revolution to reach our ears. When we think of the early relationship between humans, machines and music, we might think of Kraftwerk's analog pop or Delia Derbyshire's Radiophonic soundscapes – yet our fascination with machine music goes back much further than that. Late last year, University of Canterbury professor Jack Copeland and composer Jason Long restored the first piece of recorded machine music created in 1951 by Alan Turing, the British mathematician and artificial intelligence pioneer. The single-sided 12" acetate disc captures three melodies played by a primitive computer that filled most of the ground floor of Turing's laboratory.

It can create digital art, write poems and now, artificial intelligence is composing music. Japanese researchers have developed an AI headset that creates tailor-made music in order to improve the wearer's mood. The AI analyzes the person's brain waves and writes tunes that match their personal sensitivity- and it only takes one minute to create the music using synthesized notes. The AI studied relationships between music and emotions in order to write tunes that coincides with a human's personal sensitivity - and it only takes one minute to create the music using synthesized notes The AI was fed information about the relationship between music and emotions before it began composing music. Volunteers were asked to listen to music while their brain waves were recorded.

There were no demonstrations or outbursts from protesters at Elaine Chao's confirmation hearing Wednesday to become Trump's secretary of transportation. The former secretary of labor in the second Bush administration may have not been loved by labor unions, but her previous experience as a deputy transportation secretary for George H.W. Bush makes her uniquely qualified for the job. The most notable moments during Chao's appearance before the Senate Science, Commerce, and Transportation Committee did not concern her positions on safety regulation, Trump's infrastructure plan, or incubating the self-driving car industry, but rather her marriage to Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.). McConnell appeared at the hearing to introduce his wife. "I regret that I have but one wife to give for my country's infrastructure," McConnell said echoing the words of the former Senate majority leader Bob Dole in 1983, when he introduced his wife, Elizabeth Dole, for her confirmation hearing to be secretary of transportation in the Reagan administration.

"Rogue One"" quashed most movie rebellions Friday, while Universal was whistling a happy tune with "Sing," as the two films are dominating all wide releases this holiday weekend. In its second weekend of release, "Rogue One" took in about $20 million Friday, putting it in line for as much as $110 million for the four-day period that includes the official Christmas holiday on Monday. The Gareth Edwards "Star Wars" spinoff has been a powerhouse for Disney, now taking in $245 million in the U.S. and an additional $197 million around the world. "Sing," an animated musical voiced by the likes of Matthew McConaughey and Reese Witherspoon, is proving to be the only new, wide release that can hold its ground against the Rebel forces. After a $13-million Friday, the movie is on track for a four-day total of $55 million, adding to its combined $20 million from Wednesday and Thursday. The number puts Universal and production company Illumination Entertainment in a good place with the family film, which is estimated to have cost $75 million to produce.

Scientists at SONY CSL Research Lab have created the first-ever entire songs composed by Artificial Intelligence: "Daddy's Car" and "Mister Shadow". The researchers have developed FlowMachines, a system that learns music styles from a huge database of songs. "Daddy's Car" is composed in the style of The Beatles. French composer Benoît Carré arranged and produced the songs, and wrote the lyrics. The two songs are excerpts of albums composed by Artificial Intelligence to be released in 2017.
