Learning Action and Reasoning-Centric Image Editing from Videos and Simulations

Neural Information Processing Systems

Object, attribute or stylistic changes can be learned from visually static datasets. On the other hand, high-quality data for action and reasoning-centric edits is scarce and has to come from entirely different sources that cover e.g.


Image Understanding Makes for A Good Tokenizer for Image Generation

Neural Information Processing Systems

Modern image generation (IG) models have been shown to capture rich semantics valuable for image understanding (IU) tasks. However, the potential of IU models to improve IG performance remains uncharted. We address this issue using a token-based IG framework, which relies on effective tokenizers to project images into token sequences. Currently, **pixel reconstruction** (e.g., VQGAN) dominates the training objective for image tokenizers. In contrast, our approach adopts the **feature reconstruction** objective, where tokenizers are trained by distilling knowledge from pretrained IU encoders.


AI Made Its Way to Vineyards. Here's How the Technology Is Helping Make Your Wine

TIME - Tech

"It's not going to completely replace the human element of putting your boot into the vineyard, and that's one of my favorite things to do," he said. "But it's going to be able to allow you to work more smartly, more intelligently and in the end, make better decisions under less fatigue." Gamble said he anticipates using the tech as much as possible because of "economic, air quality and regulatory imperatives." Autonomous tractors, he said, could help lower his fuel use and cut back on pollution. As AI continues to grow, experts say that the wine industry is proof that businesses can integrate the technology efficiently to supplement labor without displacing a workforce.


Google Is Using AI to Make Hearing Aids More Personalized

WIRED

Earlier this year, Cochlear, the manufacturer of cochlear implants, announced a collaboration with Google and Australian Hearing Hub members, the National Acoustic Laboratories (NAL), Macquarie University, the Shepherd Centre, and NextSense. The aim is to improve existing hearing-assistance technologies, like hearing aids and cochlear implants, and to develop new solutions for folks experiencing hearing loss. There's a growing awareness that it's important to protect our hearing. Nevertheless, the world faces a hearing loss crisis. According to the World Health Organization, more than 1.5 billion people worldwide live with hearing loss today (430 million with disabling hearing loss), but it predicts that by 2050, those figures will grow to 2.5 billion and 700 million, respectively.


To Make a Real Difference in Health Care, AI Will Need to Learn Like We Do

TIME - Tech

Millions of people, many of whom have never thought much about computer science, are experimenting with generative AI models such as the eminently conversational ChatGPT and creative image generator DALL-E. While these products reflect less of a technological breakthrough than AI's emergence into the public consciousness, the traction they have found is guiding massive investment streams--investment shaping how this technology will be applied for years to come. For those of us who have long been bullish on AI's potential to transform society, especially in key areas such as health and medicine, recent months have felt very much like science fiction has come to life. However, as delightful as it is to explore these capabilities--GPT-4 for example exceeded the passing score by 20 points on the U.S. medical licensing exam--the results of doing so mainly serve to highlight their shortcomings. The ability to read, retain and regurgitate all such data on demand makes today's AI good at everything--but great at nothing.

To Make an Impact in Any Industry, Domain Knowledge Is Critical

#artificialintelligence

My interest in data science first surfaced as a graduate student at MIT, during the preprocessing of sensor data from experiments I conducted on ships at the Towing Tank laboratory around 2014. Although at that time I was not formally introduced to data science as it is today, the analyses I did then were essentially time-series analyses. Perhaps because the focus was more on scientifically investigating the performance of offshore structures and ships in ocaean waves, I did not realize how much of the fundamentals of data science I have built capacity in already. This really helped smoothen my journey in formalizing my data science skills when I started taking courses in Udemy and Cousera. For example, I wrote several programs for data processing and analysis in MATLAB for about 5 years, which made it relatively easy for me to learn Python.


Alexa is listening: Make these important privacy tweaks on your Amazon Echo device now

FOX News

Anytime you speak to Alexa, it records your voice and entire conversation. Amazon then stores those voice recordings forever, unless you opt to delete these in a more timely manner. If you already own an Amazon Alexa, you know how easy they make your day-to-day life. You can ask questions, avoid your phone altogether, or utilize the different skills you can set up and create new routines. How much information are you allowing Alexa and Amazon to collect from you?


How to Talk to ChatGPT, the New AI Chatbot That Makes Up Lots of Stuff

#artificialintelligence

Anyone who's seen the show knows that this is not what happened. Instead, it's a somewhat humorous misconfiguration of the details--sorta like listening to a friend misremember a series that they haven't seen in awhile. In a different conversation, I asked ChatGPT how the TV show Gilligan's Island ended. In reality, Gilligan's Island was cancelled by its network, so there was no ending.


Make your own ML paper TLDR. TLDR: code here and app demo here

#artificialintelligence

There are so many Machine Learning (ML) papers out there and lots more comes out every year. They become part of a huge collection of modules, optimization, argumentation, equations, algorithms, diagrams, etc. On top of it, there are an enormous amount of blog posts and newsletters. Paperswithcode/methods gives a good summary of what is out there. But I still easily get lost in this knowledge pool when trying to dev.
