Research Alert: Lifelike Audio-Driven Talking Faces Generated in Real Time
Research Alert: Lifelike Audio-Driven Talking Faces Generated in Real Time Authors: Sicheng Xu et al. (2024). Abstract: We introduce VASA, a framework for generating lifelike talking faces of virtual characters with appealing visual affective skills (VAS), given a single static image and a speech audio clip. Our premiere model, VASA-1, is capable of not only […]
Student-developed AI chatbot opens Yale philosopher’s works to all
Student-developed AI chatbot opens Yale philosopher’s works to all The public is often closed off from scholarly perspectives on the potential benefits of generative artificial intelligence (AI). Studies often reside behind pricey paywalls. And even if they are accessible, they are frequently written in esoteric language that non-academics struggle to parse. Nicolas Gertler, a first-year […]

How much water does a Language Model Drink? This is an interview of Prof. Phillip Hacker (Yale) conducted by Faisal Khwaileh.
Researchers Say the Deepfake Biden Robocall Was Likely Made With Tools From AI Startup ElevenLabs
Researchers Say the Deepfake Biden Robocall Was Likely Made With Tools From AI Startup ElevenLabs This article was originally written by Kate Knibbs for Wired. Last week, some voters in New Hampshire received an AI-generated robocall impersonating President Joe Biden, telling them not to vote in the state’s primary election. It’s not clear who was responsible […]
AI’s Achilles Heel: New Research Pinpoints Fundamental Weaknesses
AI’s Achilles Heel: New Research Pinpoints Fundamental Weaknesses This article was originally published in SciTechDaily. Researchers from the University of Copenhagen have become the first in the world to mathematically prove that, beyond simple problems, it is impossible to develop algorithms for AI that will always be stable. ChatGPT and similar machine learning-based technologies are on […]

Google AI has better bedside manner than human doctors — and makes better diagnoses
Google AI has better bedside manner than human doctors — and makes better diagnoses This article was written by Mariana Lenharo for Nature News. An artificial intelligence (AI) system trained to conduct medical interviews matched, or even surpassed, human doctors’ performance at conversing with simulated patients and listing possible diagnoses on the basis of the patients’ medical […]
Research Article: Mathematical discoveries from program search with large language models
Research Article: Mathematical discoveries from program search with large language models This article has recently been published in Nature and authored by Bernardino Romera-Paredes and colleagues. Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated tremendous capabilities in solving complex tasks, from quantitative reasoning to understanding natural language. However, LLMs sometimes suffer from confabulations (or hallucinations) which […]
