Paper 1: self-supervised learning from images with a joint-embedding predictive architecture

Authors: Mahmoud Assran et al.

Paper link: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2301.08243.pdf

Abstract: Let AI learn and reason like human beings, which is an important step for artificial intelligence to move towards human intelligence. Yann LeCun, winner of Turing Prize, once proposed a solution of self-monitoring and world model, and now he finally has the first real visual model-I-JEPA. As shown in the following figure, I-JEPA uses a single context block to predict the representations of various target blocks originating from the same image.

Recommendation: The first study of LeCun world model is coming: self-monitoring vision, learning and reasoning like human beings, which is open source.

Paper 2: Adversarial example does good: preventing painting from different models via Adversarial examples.

Authors: Chumeng Liang et al

Paper link: https://arxiv.org/abs/2302.04578

This paper introduces a paper included in ICML 2023 Oral, which was jointly completed by the Shanghai Key Laboratory of Scalable Computing and Systems, new york University and Queen’s University of Belfast. The joint works of this thesis are Liang Chumeng, who is about to study for a doctorate at the University of Southern California, and Wu Xiaoyu, a graduate student at Shanghai Jiaotong University.

Recommendation: quietly add pixel-level watermark to the picture: the method to prevent AI from "copying" works of art has been found.

Paper 3: Disentangling Writer and Character Styles for Writing Generation

Authors: Gang Dai et al.

Paper link: https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.14736

In this paper, researchers from South China University of Technology, National University of Singapore, Hong Kong Polytechnic University and Pazhou Laboratory jointly put forward an interesting handwritten character generation method, which can copy the user’s writing style only by providing a few reference samples, and then generate arbitrary characters that conform to this style.

Recommendation: AI, which can imitate handwriting, creates a unique font for you and is selected as CVPR 2023.

Paper 4: Instructive Eval: Towards Holistic Evaluation of Instruction-Tuned Large Language Models

Authors: Yew Ken Chia et al.

Paper link: https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.04757

Abstract: Over the years, what is the performance of instruction tuning large language model? This study puts forward a brand-new evaluation suite, which comprehensively evaluates them in solving problems, writing and aligning human values, and the results may exceed your expectations. The researchers provide an overall overview of the open source instruction model in Table 3 below.

Recommendation: for four years, the basic open source model has not really improved, and the evaluation of the instruction tuning model is amazing.

Paper 5: reverse engineering self-supervised learning

Authors: Ido Ben-Shaul et al.

Paper link: https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.15614v2

Self-supervised learning can use the unsupervised data of auxiliary tasks to mine its own supervision information, and train the network through this constructed supervision information, so as to learn valuable representations for downstream tasks. Recently, many researchers, including Yann LeCun, winner of Turing Prize, published a study, claiming that self-supervised learning was reverse-engineered, so that we could understand the internal behavior of its training process.

In order to intuitively understand SSL training, Figure 1 below shows the embedding space of training samples of the network through UMAP visualization, which includes the situation before and after training and is divided into different levels.

Recommendation: New research achievement of Yann LeCun team: For self-supervised learning reverse engineering, the original clustering is realized in this way.

Paper 6: video composer: comprehensive video synthesis with motion controllability

Authors: Xiang Wang et al

Paper link: https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.02018

Abstract: In the field of AI painting, Composer proposed by Ali and ControlNet proposed by Stanford led the theoretical development of controllable image generation. However, the exploration of controllable video generation in the industry is still in a relatively blank state. Compared with image generation, controllable video is more complicated, because besides the spatial controllability of video content, it also needs to meet the controllability of time dimension. Based on this, the research teams of Alibaba and Ant Group took the lead in making an attempt and put forward VideoComposer, which realizes the controllability of video in both time and space through combined generation paradigm.

In this study, the performance of VideoComposer is directly tested on nine different classic tasks, and satisfactory results are obtained, which proves the universality of VideoComposer.

Recommendation: Video generation with controllable time and space has come into reality, and the new work VideoComposer of Ali’s big model is on fire.

Paper 7: simple and controllable music generation

Authors: Jade Copet et al.

Paper link: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2306.05284.pdf

Abstract: At the beginning of the year, Google launched MusicLM, a big model of music generation, and the effect was very good. Some people say that this is more important than the ChatGPT of the fire, which almost solves the problem of music generation. Recently, Meta also launched its own text music generation model, MusicGen, which is free for non-commercial use.

Enter the first two sentences in the lyrics of Jay Chou’s "Qi Li Xiang" as follows: "The sparrow outside the window talks on the telephone pole, and you say this sentence is very summer-like" (in Chinese).

Recommendation: Meta open source text generates a big music model, and we tried it with the lyrics of Qilixiang.

China brand show muscle Munich auto show heavy new car

  [Aika Auto Munich Auto Show Original]

  Shortly after the Chengdu Auto Show ended, on the other side of the globe, the Munich Auto Show was grandly opened this week. The predecessor of Munich Motor Show was Frankfurt Motor Show. In 2020, the German Automobile Industry Association announced that the Frankfurt Motor Show, which had been held for 70 years in a row, had come to an end because of the criticized problems such as environmental protection and automobile industry reform, and Munich, the third largest city in Germany, stood out from the candidate cities. The original Frankfurt Motor Show will be held in Munich and officially renamed as Munich Motor Show. Different from the previous Munich Auto Show, this Munich Auto Show innovatively integrated many exhibition halls into the city, allowing ordinary consumers to get close contact with these new products. Another highlight of this year’s Munich Auto Show is that China brand groups show off their muscles. BYD, Zero Run, Aouita and other domestic car companies have participated in the exhibition. The aggressive China brand even asked German Chancellor Scholz to cheer for German brands: "German companies should be encouraged, not scared", and announced that they would throw hundreds of billions of euros to support the development of German electric vehicle industry. Let’s take a look at what new cars are worthy of attention at this Munich Auto Show.

Attacked in Russia. Who did it?

  A village in Belgorod was attacked.

  Gladcov, governor of Belgorod, said on the 22nd that the Ukrainian reconnaissance and sabotage team sneaked into the state to launch an attack, resulting in eight people being injured, and the state entered a state of anti-terrorism action. On the same day, Uzbekistan denied that it was related to this matter, saying that the above actions were carried out by "anti-Russian armed forces."

  Gladcov said: I am now in the Gryvolong District. The situation here is still very tense, and a (Ukrainian) sabotage reconnaissance team sneaked in here.

  Comprehensive CCTV Chinese international and reference news

  Governor of another state: drones attack local houses

  Gladcov said that many buildings, including houses, were thrown explosive devices by drones. The Russian armed forces, the Border Guard, the National Guard and the Federal Security Service jointly took all necessary measures to eliminate Ukrainian saboteurs, and most residents in the Gryvolong district had been evacuated.

  On May 23, local time, the governor of Belgorod, Russia, announced that the Russian air defense system shot down several drones in Belgorod, the capital of the state, and nearby areas. According to preliminary statistics, no casualties were caused, and the specific losses on the ground are being counted by local authorities.

  Russian Presidential Press Secretary peskov said that relevant departments have reported this matter to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Peskov pointed out that Uzbekistan tried to use sabotage to divert people’s attention from the situation in Bakhmut.

  Belgorod implements "anti-terrorism mechanism"

  Subsequently, the Russian authorities implemented an "anti-terrorism mechanism" in the Belgorod region in the southwest of the country on the 22nd, and implemented a series of special measures and temporary restrictions, including checking personal identity documents and suspending the production and business activities of explosive and radioactive substances and chemical and biological products.

  Gladcov said in a statement: "In order to ensure the safety of citizens in Belgorod, a legal mechanism against terrorism was introduced today."

  The report pointed out that the mechanism gives special powers to the security department and requires the implementation of a series of restrictions and preventive measures, including strengthening security inspection, identity verification and communication monitoring. The Russian authorities can also transfer people living in the affected areas.

  The Ukrainian side claimed that it was "anti-Russian armed forces"

  Podolyak, adviser to the Office of the President of Ukraine, responded that Ukraine had nothing to do with this matter. The Ukrainian state news agency quoted Andrei Yusov, spokesman of the General Intelligence Department of the Ukrainian Ministry of National Defense, as saying that the above actions were carried out by "anti-Russian armed forces" and their military operations in Belgorod were aimed at establishing a "safe zone for protecting Ukrainian civilians". Yusov denied that the operation was related to Uzbekistan, saying that "only Russians participated in the operation that day".

  Russian Defense Ministry announced:

  Defeat Ukrainian armed groups

  According to the Russian satellite news agency, the Russian Defense Ministry announced on the 23rd that the Russian army defeated the Ukrainian armed gang and destroyed more than 70 people.

  The Russian Defense Ministry told reporters: "In the anti-terrorism operation, Ukrainian nationalists were surrounded and defeated under the active actions of air strikes, artillery fire and border guards in the western military region." The Russian Defense Ministry pointed out that the remnants of the nationalist gang returned to Uzbekistan, but the Russian army continued to crack down until it was completely eliminated.

  The Russian Defense Ministry said: "In this process, more than 70 Ukrainian terrorists were destroyed, and 4 armored combat vehicles and 5 pickup trucks were destroyed." The Russian Defense Ministry also released a video, which it claimed showed the picture of the Ukrainian saboteur gang being destroyed.

New opportunities in the food and beverage industry are attracting investment from a higher starting point

  For all walks of life, 2022 is a cold winter, and the macro situation is constantly changing. This uncertainty also stirs people’s lives, making brands and consumers face unpredictable changes. After going through the extraordinary 2022, in the new 2023, "recovery and growth" will become the key words that consumer brands hope to seize. The prospects of the food and beverage industry are also gradually repairing, and new consumption trends will emerge. In recent years, the high-profile soda brand Dayao is moving closer. It continues to attract investment with outstanding strength, injecting full confidence into distribution agents.

  Win-win logic: Sincere investment promotion, Wang fried the beginning

  When time-honored brands and new forces compete together, the domestic soda market is surging and bustling, bringing more opportunities to dealers. At the same time, how to choose the right products and choose the right products in the dazzling soda market has also become an important problem that dealers must solve. The popularity of the "big soda" category is a recognized trend, and the mainstream position of the big kiln in the "big soda" has been confirmed by the market. The sales are fast, the sales volume is high, and the profits are rising. Naturally, it has become the "Nugget Code" that brands and dealers follow.

  For the creation of the distribution market, Dayao always adheres to "win-win situation for manufacturers and wealth sharing", and seriously considers the interests of dealers. For dealers who really want to join, Dayao adopts a "four-dimensional evaluation system", that is, the ability base, soft factors, industry status, and cooperation willingness are comprehensively selected in four dimensions, and a 3-month cooperation trial is also carried out to reduce risks for dealers. For dealers who have reached a cooperation, Dayao has carried out 1v1 face-to-face auxiliary management and other methods to set up a variety of agency policies and profit guarantees for dealers, such as material support, brand promotion support, award promotion, etc., to provide dealers with 360-degree all-round and no dead ends services, helping dealers quickly open the beverage market and achieve a win-win situation.

  Value Return: Prudent Consumption, Convenience is King

  Of course, the prerequisite for investment promotion is the outstanding brand and products, which can create greater profits or value for dealers. Otherwise, no matter how friendly the policy is, it will be in vain.

  In the past year, the downturn in the economic environment has brought inflation, rising living costs and stagnant wages. Coupled with brands seeking new breakthroughs through raw material mining and technology development, products on the market have to raise prices to obtain cost benefits. Mintel 2023 global consumer insights data also shows that in China, compared with the beginning of 2022, the proportion of consumers who say they are "very confident" about their economic situation has continued to decline, from 36% in February to 24% in November.

  Although consumer attitudes are more cautious, the public’s emphasis on daily nutrition is increasing, and time-saving, labor-saving, and delicious products are more popular. For example, in the process of eating, perhaps large bottles of soda can meet the needs of customers and achieve the pleasure of drinking. In order to allow more consumers to enjoy the refreshing atmosphere and joyous experience of this kind of drinking, the big kiln has launched a 520ml large-capacity glass bottle, which is very suitable for daily drinking, but the price is almost the same as that of many brands in 240ml glass bottles, which has given the big kiln’s products a price advantage and won the favor of consumers. Big kiln drinks appear in almost every large and small restaurant in the country.

  Personalized customization: fit the audience, trend first

  With the continuous iteration and upgrading of consumer demand, new consumer groups continue to grow, and diverse and personalized consumer demand is constantly emerging. More and more young consumers not only want to eat delicious, drink enjoyable, but also want to have fun. In order to meet the consumption concept of young consumers who pay attention to product appearance and healthy taste to the greatest extent, Dayao Beverage has fully launched a strategic route. In product packaging, Dayao has launched new PET packaging products, focusing on the trend of youth and portability. Dayao has also innovated and upgraded the taste of its products, launching new products including "Dayao Lixiang", "Chayuanxiang Juice Gas Tea" and "Dayao Fruit Steam" series, and continues to create a trendy drink explosion. In order to achieve in-depth communication with consumers, the big kiln also held a "Who is the king of the big kiln" competition, "the passion on stage is dazzling, the passion off the stage is playing CALL", which is interesting, cool and down-to-earth to gain consumer recognition.

  In 2021, Dayao officially started the road of brand marketing upgrade with the category positioning of "big soda, drinking big kiln", which made people inside and outside the industry shine. In 2022, Dayao identified Wu Jing as the spokesperson and quickly grafted his "positive energy attribute" onto the brand, which made Dayao soda glow with new potential and swept the country. In order to continue the good cooperation in the past year, Dayao and Wu Jing joined hands again to aim for new marketing in 2023 and embark on a new journey.

  Opportunities and challenges coexist in the food and beverage industry. Brands should focus more on their own products, values and consumer interactions to cultivate internal strength in order to seize the opportunity. Dayao will advance from a high starting point to enhance the brand value. If you are interested in joining Dayao, you can pay attention to the official website of Dayao (www.dayaoyinpin.com) and the official account of "Dayao Beverage" to learn more and start the road of win-win in 2023.

The topic of "super moon" has been searched frequently: how to form it? How to observe?

  Beijing, March 12 (Reporter Shangguan Yun) A bright moon often entrusts people with good wishes and thoughts. Recently, topics related to the "Super Moon" have been on the hot search for many times, and astronomy enthusiasts have chosen the right time and place to observe and feast their eyes.

  In fact, the "super moon" is an astronomical phenomenon that everyone has paid more attention to in recent years. So, what is a "super moon"? When does it usually appear? How can people observe?

  Conditions for the formation of "super moon"

  To form a "super moon", two basic conditions need to be met, one is "nearest" and the other is "roundest".

  "The orbit of the moon around the earth is elliptical, with the closest perigee and the farthest apogee." Yuan Fengfang, director of popular science at Xinglong Observation Base of National Astronomical Observatory of Chinese Academy of Sciences, explained.

  She said that "super moon" means that the moon is at the perigee when it is at the full moon. At this time, when the moon comes to perigee, it looks bigger than usual because it is close to the earth.

  "February 19, 2019 is the Lantern Festival in China, which happens to be ‘ Super moon ’ 。” Yuan Fengfang said, "The super full moon meets with our traditional festivals, which is more ornamental and attracts public attention."

  How to watch "Super Moon"?

  To watch the super moon, strictly speaking, you can choose to observe it when the moon-earth-sun is closest to a straight line in sequence. To put it simply, on the night when the "super moon" appeared, it can be observed anywhere as long as it is sunny or in partly cloudy.

  Yuan Fengfang introduced a set of data. At 10: 35 am on April 8, Beijing time, the moon, the earth and the sun were almost in a straight line, and the moon was the most round at this time; At 2: 08 am on April 8, Beijing time, the moon reached perigee.

  She said that it is suitable for observation from the evening of April 7 to the morning of the 8 th. You can shoot a moon at 2: 08 am on April 8 and before sunrise.

  "In fact, we can appreciate it with our eyes ‘ Super moon ’ You can also use ordinary binoculars or monoculars, or even SLR and telephoto lenses. " Yuan Fengfang explained that "super moon" is a very common astronomical phenomenon. "We can see the full moon every month, can’t we?"

  Appear no more than 4 times a year.

  Earlier, some media reported that astronomical experts said that the "super moon" mostly happened on the 15th and 16th lunar months, and it will be staged four times in the Year of the Rat in the lunar calendar, and the time will be on February 9th, March 10th, April 8th and May 7th respectively.

  “‘ Super moon ’ In fact, it is only a very common phenomenon. The period between the moon’s arrival at perigee takes 27.55 days, and the period between two full moons is the full moon, which takes 29.27-29.83 days. " Yuan Fengfang said.

  There is a small time difference between the above two periods. Yuan Fengfang said that it is precisely because of the difference in the length of the cycle that there are no more than four "super moons" every year.

  Interestingly, Yuan Fengfang mentioned that the perigee of the moon on April 8 was about 500 kilometers closer to the earth than the perigee on March 10. Therefore, the "super moon" on April 8 will be a little bigger (about 0.1%), but it is difficult for the naked eye to see the difference in size.

  Interesting "Minimum Moon"

  It is worth noting that there are not only "Super Moon" but also "Minimum Moon", and some netizens jokingly call it "Super Little Moon".

  The so-called "minimum moon", that is to say, when the moon is full moon, it just runs near the apogee.

  "The only time in 2020 ‘ The smallest moon ’ , on October 31. " Yuan Fengfang suggested that interested people can take pictures of the "Super Moon" and the "Minimum Moon" in the same place and use the same set of shooting equipment, and then make a comparison. This is an astronomical observation that the general public can do. (End)
