This comprehensive survey explores machine unlearning in Generative AI. It covers problem formulation, evaluation methods, and the strengths and limitations of various techniques.

Elysium represents a step towards enabling Multi-modal Large Language Models (MLLMs) to perform object tracking and related tasks in videos.

Add-SD is a tool that inserts objects into realistic scenes using simple text prompts. This method, unlike others, doesn't need detailed references like bounding boxes.

This paper introduces a two-stage Transformer-based model for generating emotion-driven piano performances.

DynaVol-S is a 3D generative model that excels in learning object-centric representations from unsupervised videos.

Avi Schiffmann is developing "Friend," an AI companion encapsulated in a wearable pendant, intended to offer friendship and support rather than productivity enhancements. The device, which communicates via an app, is set for a preliminary run of 30,000 units at $99 each. It will ship in January without a subscription fee. Schiffmann envisions Friend evolving into a platform for digital relationships, distancing the product from task-oriented AIs and focusing instead on the emerging trend of forming meaningful connections with digital entities.

As transformative AI increasingly seems probable, this author, grappling with the timing and uncertainty of changes, ponders on how to prepare children for a future that could radically differ from today's norm. They also explore the ethical considerations of having children amidst AI-driven uncertainty, alongside pragmatic reflections on raising "AI-native" kids and parenting strategies that prioritize adaptability and joy over traditional career-focused paths. The author advocates for living a balanced life, preparing for various futures, and maintaining an open dialogue with children about potential risks.

Diffusion models are powerful. Understanding them can be challenging. One way to look at them, theoretically, is via flow matching. This blog dives deep into the math of flow matching for diffusion.
