Following the New York Times, the New York Post (NYP Holdings) and the Wall Street Journal (Dow Jones) have recently jointly filed a lawsuit against the AI company Perplexity AI in federal court in Manhattan, accusing it of 'mass illegal copying' of copyright works from these two media outlets. This AI startup, backed by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, is facing serious copyright infringement charges. The lawsuit demands that Perplexity cease using these news articles to respond to queries.

Title: OCR 2.0: A New Generation Optical Character Recognition Model for Easy Image Text Conversion. Recently, researchers have developed a new universal Optical Character Recognition (OCR) model called GOT (Universal OCR Theory). In their paper, they introduced the concept of 'OCR 2.0' for the first time. This new model aims to combine the advantages of traditional OCR systems with the powerful capabilities of large language models. The architecture of GOT is quite advanced, featuring an image encoder with approximately 80 million parameters and 500...

Beijing ZhiYuan Artificial Intelligence Research Institute, in collaboration with Renmin University of China's Gaoqing School of Artificial Intelligence, has launched an innovative AI model framework called MemoRAG. This framework, based on long-term memory, aims to advance Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) technology to handle more complex tasks beyond simple question answering.

Recently, the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) in South Korea announced that they have successfully developed a technology named 'Dejaview'. This new technology utilizes real-time surveillance cameras (CCTV) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to not only detect criminal activities but also predict the likelihood of crimes, marking a shift in the role of surveillance systems from mere monitoring to actively preventing crime. Image Source Note: Image generated by AI, image authorized by service provider Midjourney. The core of 'Dejaview' technology lies in analyzing...

The Institute of Geochemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with Aliyun, launched the world's first "Lunar Science Multi-modal Professional Large Model" at the 2024 Digital Expo. This model is based on Aliyun's Tongyi series and utilizes RAG retrieval-augmented technology, fine-tuned and trained on Aliyun's Baolian exclusive version, specifically aimed at improving the accuracy of distinguishing the ages and shapes of lunar impact craters, currently exceeding 80%. This innovative model combines visual, multi-modal, and natural language processing technologies, and its optimal application is in identifying impact craters on the moon, which is significant for studying lunar geological evolution.

The research team led by Yuan Li at Peking University, in collaboration with researchers from Nanyang Technological University and Tsinghua University, has developed an innovative image retrieval technology that aims to precisely match user needs through sketches, artworks, and even low-resolution images. The core of this technology is the 'Universal Style Retrieval' method, which can handle multiple query styles including combinations of text, sketches, and artworks, significantly enhancing retrieval flexibility and accuracy. The research team constructed the DSR and ImageNet-X datasets to provide training and testing resources for the new method.
