Tech firms will have 48 hours to remove abusive images under new law

BBC News

Tech platforms would have to remove intimate images which have been shared without consent within 48 hours, under a proposed UK law. The government said tackling intimate image abuse should be treated with the same severity as child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and terrorist content. Failure to abide by the rules could result in companies being fined up to 10% of their global sales or have their services blocked in the UK. Janaya Walker, interim director of the End Violence Against Women Coalition, said the welcome and powerful move... rightly places the responsibility on tech companies to act. The proposals are being made through an amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill, which is making its way through the House of Lords.




MomentDiff: Generative Video Moment Retrieval from Random to Real

Neural Information Processing Systems

To achieve this goal, we provide a generative diffusion-based framework called MomentDiff, which simulates a typical human retrieval process from random browsing to gradual localization. Specifically, we first diffuse the real span to random noise, and learn to denoise the random noise to the original span with the guidance of similarity between text and video.




A High-Resolution Dataset for Instance Detection with Multi-View Instance Capture

Neural Information Processing Systems

One major reason is that current InsDet datasets are too small in scale by today's standards. For example, the popular InsDet dataset GMU (published in 2016) has only 23 instances, far less than COCO (80 classes), a well-known object detection dataset published in 2014.



Learning Mask-aware CLIP Representations for Zero-Shot Segmentation (Supplementary material) Anonymous Author(s) Affiliation Address email

Neural Information Processing Systems

In the supplementary material, we first introduce technical details of the "frozen CLIP" approaches in Sec. 1. Then the dataset settings are shown in Sec. 2. Figure 1 presents an overview of the "frozen CLIP" approach. It's worth noting that all sub-images are resized to Figure 2: Comparison among three merge operations. Pascal-VOC, COCO-Stuff and ADE20K, to evaluate the performance of MAFT. Pascal-VOC: There are 10582 images for training and 1,449 images for testing. ADE20K: ADE20K contains 25k images for training and 2k images for validation. Pascal-Context is an extensive dataset of Pascal-VOC 2010.
