Day 8 (a bit late): Timnit Gebru
Academic authors are authors too, and there are a bunch of people I deeply respect both in my fields and adjacent.
Gebru is someone I have huge respect for because she stood up for her (mild, completely reasonable) principles to the point of losing her job on Google's AI ethics team (since disbanded entirely), and then went ahead and founded an independent research institute to continue doing AI ethics research.
Why was she fired? Because she insisted on publishing her "Stochastic Parrots" paper after it passed Google internal review only to have extra nonstandard scrutiny applied at the last minute. Why did Google want to suppress her paper (which included an academic co-author)? Because it expressed valid criticisms of the large language models fad, and Google was planning to make money off that fad. Personally, I don't think I'd hire an "AI ethics" team only to then try to suppress their publications, and Google seems to now agree, having scrapped the team (during the initial furor, Timnit's boss also effectively quit to support her).
That "Stochastic Parrots" paper? Indeed, it predicts the core underlying problems with large language models that lead to so many of their user-side harms today. You can read it here: #20AuthorsNoMen

Stream RAG: Instant and Accurate Spoken Dialogue Systems with Streaming Tool Usage
End-to-end speech-in speech-out dialogue systems are emerging as a powerful alternative to traditional ASR-LLM-TTS pipelines, generating more natural, expressive responses with significantly lower latency. However, these systems remain prone to hallucinations due to limited factual grounding. While text-based dialogue systems address this challenge by integrating tools such as web search and knowledge graph APIs, we introduce the first approach to extend tool use directly into speech-in speech-…

Synergy between Roman and PRIMA imaging capabilities for large extragalactic surveys
The Roman Space Telescope will be instrumental for characterizing the physical properties of galaxies and understanding their evolution across time. However, a complete view of galaxy star formation activity will only be possible with the addition of far-infrared observations that a telescope such as PRobe far-Infrared Mission for Astrophysics (PRIMA) will be able to provide. Indeed, PRIMA's far-infrared camera will be highly sensitive to dust emission, whereas Roman will probe the stellar emis…

Attention over Scene Graphs: Indoor Scene Representations Toward CSAI Classification
Indoor scene classification is a critical task in computer vision, with wide-ranging applications that go from robotics to sensitive content analysis, such as child sexual abuse imagery (CSAI) classification. The problem is particularly challenging due to the intricate relationships between objects and complex spatial layouts. In this work, we propose the Attention over Scene Graphs for Sensitive Content Analysis (ASGRA), a novel framework that operates on structured graph representations inste…

Para lembrar (sobre Charlie #Kirk): Marco Feliciano falando sobre balas na cabeça de #esquerdistas
https://www.instagram.com/…

Coletivismo on Instagram: "💁 Trecho de entrevista de 2018 do Pastor Marco Feliciano ao programa de rádio e televisão Pânico, no qual ele faz piada de péssimo gosto contra "esquerdistas", ressurge novamente na Internet após Direita pedir empatia pela mort4 de Charlie Kirk. Na ocasião, fica perceptível o incômodo de alguns apresentadores com a piada e pela falta de empatia de Feliciano. "Quando um esquerdista leva um tiro na cabeça, ele demora uma semana para morrer, porque é o tempo que demora para a bala achar o cérebro”. Essas foram as palavras do parlamentar Marco Feliciano no Programa Pânico, no mesmo contexto em que mencionava a morte de Marielle Franco. #marcosfeliciano #charliekirk #esquerda #direita #pânico #brasil #2018 #relembrar"
