Now you can chat with Google Maps to order food, reserve hotels and more

Engadget

This past March, Google introduced a chatbot inside of Maps as part of its overhaul of the software's navigation suite. The company pitched the feature, Ask Maps, as a way to give users a way to obtain information no traditional map can provide. Today, Google is expanding what Ask Maps can do, starting with the addition of new agentic capabilities. The next time you feel like ordering food, you can do so directly through Ask Maps. In a press briefing, Amanda Leicht-Moore, senior product director of Google Maps, demoed the feature by telling the chatbot she wanted recommendations for avocado toast and an oat milk latte near her home.



Revisiting Multi-Task Learning with ROCK: a Deep Residual Auxiliary Block for Visual Detection

Neural Information Processing Systems

Extensiveexperiments on NYUv2 dataset (object detection with scene classification, depth prediction, and surface normal estimation as auxiliary tasks) validate the relevance of the approach and its superiority to flat MTL approaches.

Subsequently, we select train-test splits from the same iteration steps. These settings are used throughout our study. For the few-shot experiments, the same pipeline parameters were utilized with changes noted in the respectivesection. However,thefactthatFIDscores are relatively close to another despite large semantic differences between datasets may indicate that FID based on our utilised FID estimator (Sec. Beyond these limits, generic representations learned byself-supervised learning may offerbetter zero-shot generalization,asalsodiscussedonSec.

The positive with the lowest rankx1 has a gradient in the good direction, since it leads to increasex1'sscore because the correct ordering is not reached (the negativeinstance WecanseeinFig.2bthatthis change enables tohavegradients inthecorrect directions forthetwopositiveinstancesx1 and x2 (tending to increase their scores), and for the negative instancex3 (tending to decrease its score). However there is still vanishing gradients. Overall, LSupAP has all the desired properties: i) A correct gradient flow during training, ii) No vanishing gradients while the correct ranking isnot reached, iii)Being anupper bound onthe AP lossLAP.

Our simple approach results insuperior performance compared toprevious methods. Despite this improvement, we further identify a common-action bias issue that the cross-modal baseline over-focus on common sub-actions due to a lack of ability todiscriminate text-related visual parts.


Bootstrap Your Object Detector via Mixed Training

Neural Information Processing Systems

We introduce MixTraining, a new training paradigm for object detection that can improve the performance of existing detectors for free. MixTraining enhances data augmentation by utilizing augmentations of different strengths while excluding the strong augmentations of certain training samples that may be detrimental to training. In addition, it addresses localization noise and missing labels in human annotations by incorporating pseudo boxes that can compensate for these errors. Both of these MixTraining capabilities are made possible through bootstrapping on the detector, which can be used to predict the difficulty of training on a strong augmentation, as well as to generate reliable pseudo boxes thanks to the robustness of neural networks to labeling error. MixTraining is found to bring consistent improvements across various detectors on the COCO dataset.
