Towards Lexical Analysis of Dog Vocalizations via Online Videos

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Deciphering the semantics of animal language has been a grand challenge. This study presents a data-driven investigation into the semantics of dog vocalizations via correlating different sound types with consistent semantics. We first present a new dataset of Shiba Inu sounds, along with contextual information such as location and activity, collected from YouTube with a well-constructed pipeline. The framework is also applicable to other animal species. Based on the analysis of conditioned probability between dog vocalizations and corresponding location and activity, we discover supporting evidence for previous heuristic research on the semantic meaning of various dog sounds. For instance, growls can signify interactions. Furthermore, our study yields new insights that existing word types can be subdivided into finer-grained subtypes and minimal semantic unit for Shiba Inu is word-related. For example, whimper can be subdivided into two types, attention-seeking and discomfort.

AI models built for the Metaverse

#artificialintelligence

There are several pieces of evidence to prove that AI that will form the backbone of the metaverse. The role of AI in the metaverse involves combining several related techniques like computer vision, natural language processing, blockchain and digital twins. In February, Meta's chief Mark Zuckerberg showcased a demo at the company's first virtual event โ€“ Inside The Lab, of what the metaverse would look like. He said that the company was working on a new range of generative AI models that would allow users to generate a virtual reality of their own simply by describing it. Zuckerberg announced a slew of upcoming launches like Project CAIRaoke โ€“ "a fully end-to-end neural model for building on-device assistants" which would help users communicate more naturally with voice assistants.


Playing video games can help boost children's intelligence - unlike watching TV!

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Many parents feel guilty when their children spend hours on end staring at screens โ€“ and some even worry it could make them less clever. But a new study suggests that spending an above-average time playing video games can actually help boost children's intelligence. Researchers from the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden carried out psychological tests on more than 5,000 children in the US aged between ten and 12, to gauge their general cognitive abilities. The children and their parents were also asked about how much time the children spent watching TV and videos, playing video games and engaging with social media. The researchers then followed up with the children two years later, at which point they were asked to repeat the psychological tests.


Here Are Some Cool Google AI Experiments Which You Need To See

It could be simpler to say what aspect of our modern society hasn't taken on by artificial intelligence (AI) to show how crucial it has become to our daily lives, business operations, and community. Intelligent devices affect nearly every part of our society to help enhance efficiencies and increase our human potential. AI is so entangled with everything that we do; it's difficult to imagine life without it. But researchers and developers are not willing to stop at these simple applications of AI. This is where tech giants come up with interesting ways of improving the algorithms.


Unveiling Unexpected Training Data in Internet Video

Communications of the ACM

During training, the squared L2 error between the clean spectrogram and the predicted spectrogram is used as a loss function to train the network. At inference time, our separation model can be applied to arbitrarily long segments of video and varying numbers of speakers. The latter is achieved by either directly training the model with multiple-input visual streams (one for speaker), or simply by feeding the visual features of the desired speaker to the visual stream. For full details about the architecture and training process, see our full paper.15


AI slips ads into online videos' empty spaces

#artificialintelligence

Software company Mirriad has developed a way for adverts to be "inserted" into films and television shows streamed online. It uses artificial intelligence techniques to recognise objects in a scene and spot slots where branded goods and posters can be added without looking out of place. The aim is to ultimately tailor the product placements to individual viewers' interests.

China makes it a criminal offense to publish deepfakes or fake news without disclosure

#artificialintelligence

China has released a new government policy designed to prevent the spread of fake news and misleading videos created using artificial intelligence, otherwise known as deepfakes. The new rule, reported earlier today by Reuters, bans the publishing of false information or deepfakes online without proper disclosure that the post in question was created with AI or VR technology. Failure to disclose this is now a criminal offense, the Chinese government says. The rules go into effect on January 1st, 2020, and will be enforced by the Cyberspace Administration of China. "With the adoption of new technologies, such as deepfake, in online video and audio industries, there have been risks in using such content to disrupt social order and violate people's interests, creating political risks and bringing a negative impact to national security and social stability," the CAC said in a notice to online video hosting websites on Friday, according to the South China Morning Post.
