The Frontier of Data Erasure: Machine Unlearning for Large Language Models
Qu, Youyang, Ding, Ming, Sun, Nan, Thilakarathna, Kanchana, Zhu, Tianqing, Niyato, Dusit
Large Language Models (LLMs) are foundational to AI advancements, facilitating applications like predictive text generation. Nonetheless, they pose risks by potentially memorizing and disseminating sensitive, biased, or copyrighted information from their vast datasets. Machine unlearning emerges as a cutting-edge solution to mitigate these concerns, offering techniques for LLMs to selectively discard certain data. This paper reviews the latest in machine unlearning for LLMs, introducing methods for the targeted forgetting of information to address privacy, ethical, and legal challenges without necessitating full model retraining. It divides existing research into unlearning from unstructured/textual data and structured/classification data, showcasing the effectiveness of these approaches in removing specific data while maintaining model efficacy. Highlighting the practicality of machine unlearning, this analysis also points out the hurdles in preserving model integrity, avoiding excessive or insufficient data removal, and ensuring consistent outputs, underlining the role of machine unlearning in advancing responsible, ethical AI.

Review: 'Hogwarts Legacy' Has No Magic
I don't even smoke and I feel like I need a cigarette before I get this thing started. We're here to talk about Hogwarts Legacy, and to do that we need to discuss the whole mess. Pull up a chair, pour yourself some tea, wrap yourself in a blanket, scream into a pillow (or the abyss), because this one's gonna take a lot out of both of us. Hogwarts Legacy is a third-person action-RPG set in the same universe as the classic Harry Potter series of children's books. In case you need a refresher, those books, the Wizarding World setting, and the Harry Potter film franchise are all the intellectual property and brainchildren of author J. K. Rowling.

Two minutes NLP -- Quick Intro to Knowledge Base Question Answering
Knowledge base question answering (KBQA) aims to answer a natural language question over a knowledge base (KB) as its knowledge source. A knowledge base (KB) is a structured database that contains a collection of facts in the form subject, relation, object, where each fact can have properties attached called qualifiers. For example, the sentence "Barack Obama got married to Michelle Obama on 3 October 1992 at Trinity United Church" can be represented by the tuple Barack Obama, Spouse, Michelle Obama, with the qualifiers start time 3 October 1992 and place of marriage Trinity United Church . Popular knowledge bases are DBpedia and WikiData. Early works on KBQA focused on simple question answering, where there's only a single fact involved.

QAnon founder may have been identified thanks to machine learning
With help from machine learning software, computer scientists may have unmasked the identity of Q, the founder of the QAnon movement. In a sprawling report published on Saturday, The New York Times shared the findings of two independent teams of forensic linguists who claim they've identified Paul Furber, a South African software developer who was one of the first to draw attention to the conspiracy theory, as the original writer behind Q. They say Arizona congressional candidate Ron Watkins also wrote under the pseudonym, first by collaborating with Furber and then later taking over the account when it eventually moved to post on his father's 8chan message board. The two teams of Swiss and French researchers used different methodologies to come to the same conclusion. The Swiss one, made up of two researchers from startup OrphAnalytics, used software to break down Q's missives into patterns of three-character sequences.

Baidu Conquers The Next-Gen AI Race By Beating Tech Giants In A Language Test
Although conversing with artificial intelligence (AI) has been a common plot point for several science fiction movies, the real-life applications are still miles away. However, according to recent media reports, Chinese technology giant -- Baidu has started to make bold strides towards AI by beating Google and Microsoft in a competition designed to test the ability of machine in understanding human language. Baidu, which is often termed as China's Google, surpassed traditional players when it comes to AI and language learning. It has achieved the highest ever score in the General Language Understanding Evaluation (GLUE), which has been widely considered to be the benchmark for AI language comprehension skills. For most humans, the managed score is usually an 87 out of 100, however, Baidu's model, called ERNIE (Enhanced Representation through knowledge Integration has scored a 90, which is a first for any AI models.

The Artificial Intelligence that Composes Like the Beatles and Writes Like J. K. Rowling - OpenMind
Two robotic arms that each hold a pen begin to draw with short strokes on two sheets of paper-- two eyes, a mouth and the silhouette of a face. They portray the front and profile view of Eliseo Carrera Bustillo, a 26-year-old student sitting on a stool while two cameras observe and analyse him closely. Both machines imitate the style of their creator--the French artist Patrick Tresset--and it only takes half an hour to finish the portrait and sign it. Nowadays, more and more artificial intelligence systems paint pictures, compose music, create poetry and write novels. But what difference is there between a work created by a machine and by a human?
