In 2010, MIT Media Lab students Karthik Dinakar SM ’12, PhD ’17 and Birago Jones SM ’12 embarked on creating a tool to assist content moderation teams at companies like Twitter (now X) and YouTube. Their demo, which was presented at a cyberbullying summit at the White House, identified troublesome posts through machine learning. However,…
Brand ambassadors play a crucial role in showcasing a company's brand and principles. They contribute to promoting the company's values, generating excitement and increasing sales. However, choosing the right brand ambassador can be a difficult process as not everyone may align well with your business. Evaluating potential ambassadors is pivotal in ensuring they fit well…
Choosing the right brand ambassadors is crucial in expanding and managing your brand. The role of brand ambassadors is not just to promote your offerings, but also to generate excitement about your brand, boosting interaction and sales. Hence, it is important to ensure that potential brand ambassadors align well with your company, requiring a careful…
The family of seven-time F1 world champion, Michael Schumacher, has won compensation worth €200,000 from the publishers of a German magazine, Die Aktuelle, for printing an unauthorized AI-generated interview. The article, released in April 2023, falsely presented an interview with Schumacher, including the AI-generated quotes on his health and family life after his severe skiing…
Creating high-quality, diverse media from text is often a challenging task for existing models. Such models either generate low-quality outcomes, are slow, or need a significant level of computational power. Current solutions that resolve individual tasks such as text-to-image or text-to-video generation need to be merged with other models to achieve the desired effect. Moreover,…
Generating high-quality, diverse media content from textual input is a complex task. Traditional models have suffered from several limitations such as poor output quality, slow processing or high computational resource requirements, making them less efficient and widespread. Even for individual tasks like text-to-image or text-to-video, these models often need to be used in conjunction with…
Genomic research, which seeks to understand the structure and function of genomes, plays a significant role in a variety of sectors, including medicine, biotechnology, and evolutionary biology. It provides valuable insights into potential therapies for genetic disorders and fundamental life processes. However, the field also faces major challenges, particularly when it comes to modelling and…
Researchers have developed a text-to-image diffusion transformer called Hunyuan-DiT. Its intention is to understand both English and Chinese text prompts in a nuanced way. Its creation involves important elements and steps to ensure optimal image production and finer language understanding.
The fundamental components of Hunyuan-DiT include its Transformer structure, a Bilingual and Multilingual encoding, and Enhanced…
Researchers from MIT and other institutions have developed a solution to maintain continuous human-AI interactions without the chatbot crashing or slowing down. The solution, known as StreamingLLM, involves tweaking the key-value cache (like a conversation memory) that forms the heart of many large language models. Under the conventional setup, the cache, when filled beyond its…
A team of researchers from MIT has developed an innovative antitampering cryptographic ID tag, which is smaller, cheaper, and more secure than traditional radio frequency identification (RFID) tags. Traditional RFIDs can be detached from a genuine item and reattached on counterfeit products, compromising the authenticity of the item. As a solution, the MIT team creates…
