Ultrasound Image Clarity (6 minute read)
RDSTN is a new network that enhances ultrasound images through arbitrary-scale super-resolution, addressing the trade-off between image quality and field-of-view.
Improved Object Segmentation (17 minute read)
SegRefiner, a new model-agnostic solution, improves object mask quality in various segmentation tasks by interpreting refinement as a data generation process. It refines coarse masks pixel-by-pixel using a discrete diffusion process, enhancing segmentation and boundary metrics.
LLMs have special intelligence, not general, and that's plenty (8 minute read)
Anthropic's new AI model Claude-3 surpasses the average human IQ and outperforms other models, including GPT-4, in advanced cognitive tasks. Despite this achievement, Claude-3 still struggles with basic challenges like puzzles that humans find easy. LLMs may possess a 'Special Intelligence' rather than human-like general intelligence. They could be reflecting our knowledge back to us in innovative ways.
Mathematicians use AI to identify emerging COVID-19 variants (4 minute read)
University of Manchester mathematicians have developed an AI tool, CLASSIX, to rapidly identify emerging COVID-19 variants from genetic data, potentially streamlining the tracking of viral evolution and aiding in proactive responses like tailored vaccine development. The method, which is computationally less demanding than traditional phylogenetic analysis, processed 5.7 million sequences in 1-2 days on a standard laptop, demonstrating its efficiency in managing large-scale genomic data. The research signifies a step towards quicker, resource-efficient identification of significant pathogen strains.
