Hamas hands over remains of captive as Israeli drone strike kills two
Can Israel annex the West Bank if the US says no? Will the US plan for Gaza fail? 'We survived the war, we may not survive the ceasefire' Who are the 95 healthcare workers held by Israel? Hamas has handed over the remains of another dead captive to Israel, hours after an Israeli drone attack in southern Gaza killed two Palestinians amid a fragile ceasefire. The Israeli military said on Monday that the Red Cross had taken custody of the coffin and was in the process of transporting it to the army's troops in Gaza. The remains of 16 had been handed over as of Monday.
TRIX: A More Expressive Model for Zero-shot Domain Transfer in Knowledge Graphs
Zhang, Yucheng, Bevilacqua, Beatrice, Galkin, Mikhail, Ribeiro, Bruno
Fully inductive knowledge graph models can be trained on multiple domains and subsequently perform zero-shot knowledge graph completion (KGC) in new unseen domains. This is an important capability towards the goal of having foundation models for knowledge graphs. In this work, we introduce a more expressive and capable fully inductive model, dubbed TRIX, which not only yields strictly more expressive triplet embeddings (head entity, relation, tail entity) compared to state-of-the-art methods, but also introduces a new capability: directly handling both entity and relation prediction tasks in inductive settings. Empirically, we show that TRIX outperforms the state-of-the-art fully inductive models in zero-shot entity and relation predictions in new domains, and outperforms large-context LLMs in out-of-domain predictions. The source code is available at https://github.com/yuchengz99/TRIX.
Double Equivariance for Inductive Link Prediction for Both New Nodes and New Relation Types
Gao, Jianfei, Zhou, Yangze, Zhou, Jincheng, Ribeiro, Bruno
The task of inductive link prediction in knowledge graphs (KGs) generally focuses on test predictions with solely new nodes but not both new nodes and new relation types. In this work, we formally define the concept of double permutation-equivariant representations that are equivariant to permutations of both node identities and edge relation types. We then show how double-equivariant architectures are able to self-supervise pre-train on distinct KG domains and zero-shot predict links on a new KG domain (with completely new entities and new relation types). We also introduce the concept of distributionally double equivariant positional embeddings designed to perform the same task. Finally, we empirically demonstrate the capability of the proposed models against baselines on a set of novel real-world benchmarks. More interestingly, we show that self-supervised pre-training on more KG domains increases the zero-shot ability of our model to predict on new relation types over new entities on unseen KG domains.
What nuclear winter would really be like - as scientists call for 'urgent' public education
From Threads to The Day After, 'nuclear winter' has been portrayed in science fiction blockbusters for years - but what would the cataclysmic aftermath of a nuclear attack really be like? Smoke from the fires started by nuclear weapons would rise into the atmosphere, blocking out the sun. The resulting perpetual darkness would mean freezing temperatures and crop failure, followed by mass starvation and death. While it sounds very much like a fictional scenario, an expert describes a nuclear winter as a real and'horribly contemporary' risk due to Russia's war on Ukraine. It follows scientific advice of how best to survive a nuclear attack, after Putin has made a series of nuclear threats since the start of Russia's war on Ukraine last year.
A new map of NYC's cameras shows more surveillance in Black and brown neighborhoods
Areas of New York City with higher rates of "stop-and-frisk" police searches have more closed-circuit TV cameras, according to a new report from Amnesty International's Decode Surveillance NYC project. Beginning in April 2021, over 7,000 volunteers began surveying New York City's streets through Google Street View to document the location of cameras; the volunteers assessed 45,000 intersections three times each and identified over 25,500 cameras. The report estimates that around 3,300 of these cameras are publicly owned and in use by government and law enforcement. The project used this data to create a map marking the coordinates of all 25,500 cameras with the help of BetaNYC, a civic organization with a focus on technology, and contracted data scientists. Analysis of this data showed that in the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens, there were more publicly owned cameras in census tracts with higher concentrations of people of color.
Amnesty International calls for ban on facial recognition
As advocates for facial recognition tout the tech's potential to track down the US Capitol rioters, a new Amnesty International campaign has provided a timely reminder of the software's dangers. The NGO has shared a stream of examples of how the software amplifies racist policing and threatens the right to protest -- and called for a global ban on the tech. The Ban the Scan campaign was launched on Tuesday in New York City, where facial recognition has been used 22,000 since 2017. Amnesty notes that the software is often prone to errors. But even when it "works," it can exacerbate discriminatory policing, violate our privacy, and threaten our rights to peaceful assembly and freedom of expression.
The Next Target for a Facial Recognition Ban? New York
Civil rights activists have successfully pushed for bans on police use of facial recognition in cities like Oakland, San Francisco, and Somerville, Massachusetts. Now, a coalition led by Amnesty International is setting its sights on the nation's biggest city--New York--as part of a drive for a global moratorium on government use of the technology. Amnesty's #BantheScan campaign is backed by Legal Aid, the New York Civil Liberties Union, and AI For the People among other groups. After New York, the group plans to target New Delhi and Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia. "New York is the biggest city in the country," says Michael Kleinman, director of Amnesty International's Silicon Valley Initiative.
New York City says it will reassess police use of facial recognition
According to Mayor Bill de Blaiso, New York City will place additional restrictions on police use of facial recognition. The pledge comes after the NYPD employed the technology to identify a prominent Black Lives Matter activist. "We need to be very sparing in our use of facial recognition technology," said Mayor de Blasio in response to a question from a Gothamist reporter during his August 17th media availability (skip to 38:35 mark to hear the relevant comments). "... in a world where we've unfortunately dealt with violent acts of terror here in New York City, there is a place for facial recognition but with really clear checks and balances." "Those standards need to be reassessed," the mayor went on to say.
Morning Briefing: Chiquita Evans breaks a video game barrier
Chiquita Evans became the first woman ever drafted into the video game NBA 2K League when she was selected in the fourth round Tuesday night by Warriors Gaming, which is run by the Golden State Warriors. Evans is now the esports league's first female pro. Each of the 126 players in the league will make between $33,000 and $37,000 per season, plus benefits and team housing. "It feels surreal,'' she said. Evans, who lives in Mobile, Ala., was one of two women who qualified for the draft this year through the league's online combine. The other, Brianna Novin, was not selected. The NBA and game publisher Take-Two Interactive run the league. The league had no women in its first season, and the NBA wanted to change that. They hired some analysts to talk to focus groups to determine why only men qualified for the league. "It made us put more emphasis on how good a player was when they got the ball in their hands,'' 2K League managing director Brendan Donohue said.
