First Lady Melania Trump is launching a Spanish-language edition of the audiobook of her memoir using artificial intelligence (AI) audio technology to tell her story.

Vision-and-Language Navigation (VLN) requires agents to follow natural language instructions through environments, with memory-persistent variants demanding progressive improvement through accumulated experience. Existing approaches for memory-persistent VLN face critical limitations: they lack effective memory access mechanisms, instead relying on entire memory incorporation or fixed-horizon lookup, and predominantly store only environmental observations while neglecting navigation behavioral patterns that encode valuable decision-making strategies. We present Memoir, which employs imagination as a retrieval mechanism grounded by explicit memory: a world model imagines future navigation states as queries to selectively retrieve relevant environmental observations and behavioral histories. The approach comprises: 1) a language-conditioned world model that imagines future states serving dual purposes: encoding experiences for storage and generating retrieval queries; 2) Hybrid Viewpoint-Level Memory that anchors both observations and behavioral patterns to viewpoints, enabling hybrid retrieval; and 3) an experience-augmented navigation model that integrates retrieved knowledge through specialized encoders. Extensive evaluation across diverse memory-persistent VLN benchmarks with 10 distinctive testing scenarios demonstrates Memoir's effectiveness: significant improvements across all scenarios, with 5.4% SPL gains on IR2R over the best memory-persistent baseline, accompanied by 8.3x training speedup and 74% inference memory reduction. The results validate that predictive retrieval of both environmental and behavioral memories enables more effective navigation, with analysis indicating substantial headroom (73.3% vs 93.4% upper bound) for this imagination-guided paradigm.

Language models deployed in real-world systems often require post-hoc updates to incorporate new or corrected knowledge. However, editing such models efficiently and reliably-without retraining or forgetting previous information-remains a major challenge. Existing methods for lifelong model editing either compromise generalization, interfere with past edits, or fail to scale to long editing sequences. We propose MEMOIR, a novel scalable framework that injects knowledge through a residual memory, i.e., a dedicated parameter module, while preserving the core capabilities of the pre-trained model. By sparsifying input activations through sample-dependent masks, MEMOIR confines each edit to a distinct subset of the memory parameters, minimizing interference among edits. At inference, it identifies relevant edits by comparing the sparse activation patterns of new queries to those stored during editing. This enables generalization to rephrased queries by activating only the relevant knowledge while suppressing unnecessary memory activation for unrelated prompts. Experiments on question answering, hallucination correction, and out-of-distribution generalization benchmarks for LLaMA-3 and Mistral backbones demonstrate that MEMOIR achieves state-of-the-art performance across reliability, generalization, and locality metrics, scaling to thousands of sequential edits with minimal forgetting.

Actress, entrepreneur, and model Christie Brinkley joins'Fox & Friends' to discuss her new memoir "Uptown Girl," which reflects on her early life, marriages, and career in the public eye. Christie Brinkley and her daughter Sailor Brinkley-Cook have plenty in common despite their 44-year difference. The supermodel, 71, recently appeared on Kristin Davis' "Are You a Charlotte?" Both women were shocked by the results. "[Sailor] said, 'Mom, you're right not to go on [dating apps] because the same guys that, you know, said yes to me are saying yes to you,'" the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model revealed.

The Trump administration is mobilizing 700 Marines to respond to protests triggered by Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids in Los Angeles. Aerial footage of protests downtown on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday evening seemed to show crowds of a few hundred people, while another pro-immigration rally earlier on Monday reportedly drew thousands. With 4,000 members of the National Guard already deployed to the city, in addition to ICE and local police, armed law-enforcement officers appear to outnumber actual protesters, who have remained largely nonviolent (aside from the ones who set several robotic taxicabs on fire). What follows is a speculative attempt to convey the emotional truth of what these troops might encounter. We woke up at dawn, heads pounding, in a hut lit by a single bulb. We were two clicks outside the perimeter and three clicks from the nearest Lamill or Blue Bottle--a desperate goddamn distance, no no no this can't be happening.

EXCLUSIVE: First lady Melania Trump is launching an audiobook of her memoir using artificial intelligence (AI) audio technology in multiple languages, Fox News Digital has learned. The first lady released her first memoir, "Melania," last year. This week, she is breaking new ground by releasing "Melania, the Audiobook," which has been "created entirely" with AI. "I am proud to be at the forefront of publishing's new frontier – the intersection of artificial intelligence technology and audio," Trump told Fox News Digital. The first lady said ElevenLabs AI developed "an AI-generated replica of my voice under strict supervision, which will establish an unforgettable connection with my personal story, in multiple languages for listeners worldwide." ElevenLabs AI CEO Mati Staniszewski told Fox News Digital that they are "excited that Melania Trump trusted our technology to power this first-of-its-kind audiobook project."

Have you ever stared in a mirror for a few hours? Try it: Watch as your nose somehow shifts placement on your face, how your eyebrows lose symmetry, how quickly you fail to recognize yourself. Facial dysmorphia would come to anyone tasked with considering their own reflection for too long. It's a similar experience when you promote a book. For the past few weeks, I've been touring Canada and the U.S. promoting my latest book, Sucker Punch.

The former Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams is considering legal action against Meta because it may have used his books to train artificial intelligence. "Meta has used many of my books without my permission. I have placed the issue in the hands of my solicitor," he said. Sinn Féin said in a statement on Wednesday that the titles included its former leader's autobiography, Before the Dawn; a prison memoir, Cage Eleven; reflections on Northern Ireland's peace process, Hope and History; and other memoirs, a cookbook and a short story collection. Adams is the latest author to join a backlash against the parent company of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp.

These authors made history with their powerful books. March is Women's History Month, a time dedicated to honoring the powerful, inspiring and trailblazing women who have contributed amazing things to our world. What better way to celebrate this month than by diving into books written by women? Female authors have written a diverse range of books, from novels to memoirs, to science fiction and horror. Get your bookmarks ready and prepare to be captivated by these must-read books for Women's History Month. Follow an eccentric artist and her daughter through this short novel.

AI expert Marva Bailer tells Fox News Digital how the open availability of artificial intelligence can have negative impacts and talks potential federal legislation to control it. Books about the dizzying impact of the internet and artificial intelligence are among finalists for a new book prize that aims to help fix the gender imbalance in nonfiction publishing. The shortlisted six books for the inaugural Women's Prize for Nonfiction, announced on Wednesday, include Canadian author-activist Naomi Klein's "Doppleganger," a plunge into online misinformation, and British journalist Madhumita Murgia's "Code-Dependent: Living in the Shadow of AI." The 38,000 award is a sister to the 29-year-old Women's Prize for Fiction and is open to female English-language writers from any country in any nonfiction genre. The finalists also include autobiographical works -- poet Safiya Sinclair's "How to Say Babylon: A Jamaican Memoir" and British art critic Laura Cumming's "Thunderclap: A Memoir of Art and Life and Sudden Death."
