• Can AI Understand Subtext? A New AI Approach to Natural Language Inference
    www.marktechpost.com
    Understanding implicit meaning is a fundamental aspect of human communication. Yet, current Natural Language Inference (NLI) models struggle to recognize implied entailmentsstatements that are logically inferred but not explicitly stated. Most current NLI datasets are focused on explicit entailments, making the models insufficiently equipped to deal with scenarios where meaning is indirectly expressed. This limitation bars the development of applications such as conversational AI, summarization, and context-sensitive decision-making, where the ability to infer unspoken implications is crucial. To mitigate this shortcoming, a dataset and approach that systematically incorporates implied entailments in NLI tasks are needed.Current NLI benchmarks like SNLI, MNLI, ANLI, and WANLI are largely dominated by explicit entailments, with implied entailments making up a negligible proportion of the dataset. Therefore, state-of-the-art models trained on these datasets tend to mislabel implied entailments as neutral or contradictory. Previous efforts in introducing an understanding of implicature have been focused on structured inputs like indirect question-answering or pre-defined logical relations, which do not generalize to free-form reasoning settings. Even large models like GPT-4 exhibit a significant performance gap between explicit and implicit entailment detection, which calls for a more comprehensive approach.Google Deepmind and University of Pennsylvania researchers have proposed the Implied NLI (INLI) dataset to bridge the gap between the explicit and implicit entailments in natural language inference (NLI) models. Their paper proposes a systematic method of incorporating implied meaning in NLI training using structured implicature frameworks from current datasets such as LUDWIG, CIRCA, NORMBANK, and SOCIALCHEM to transform these frameworks into pairs of premise, implied entailment. In addition, each premise is also paired with explicit entailments, neutral hypotheses, and contradictions to create an inclusive dataset for model training. A groundbreaking few-shot prompting method using Gemini-Pro ensures the generation of high-quality implicit entailments while, concurrently, reducing annotation expenses and ensuring data integrity. Incorporating implicit meaning in NLI tasks enables the differentiation between explicit and implicit entailments by models with higher precision.The creation of the INLI dataset is a two-stage procedure. First, existing structured datasets with implicatures such as indirect replies and social norms are restructured into an implied entailment, premise format. In stage two, to ensure the strength of the dataset, explicit entailments, neutral statements, and contradictions are generated through controlled manipulation of the implied entailments. The dataset comprises 40,000 hypotheses (implied, explicit, neutral, and contradictory) for 10,000 premises, offering a diverse and balanced training set. Fine-tuning experiments using T5-XXL models employ a range of learning rates (1e-6, 5e-6, 1e-5) over 50,000 training steps to improve the identification of implicit entailments.Models fine-tuned on INLI show a dramatic improvement in detecting implied entailments, with an optimal accuracy of 92.5% compared to 5071% accuracy for models fine-tuned on typical NLI datasets. Fine-tuned models generalize well to unseen datasets with high accuracy, scoring 94.5% on NORMBANK and 80.4% on SOCIALCHEM, establishing the robustness of INLI on varied domains. Furthermore, hypothesis-only baselines prove that models fine-tuned on INLI leverage both premise and hypothesis for inference, decreasing the likelihood of shallow pattern learning. These results establish the robustness of INLI in bridging explicit and implicit entailments, and in turn, substantially improving AIs capacity for refined human communication.This paper makes significant contributions to NLI by proposing the Implied NLI (INLI) dataset, which systematically introduces implied meaning to inference tasks. Employing structured implicature frames and alternative hypothesis generation, this approach improves model accuracy for detecting implicit entailments and facilitates improved generalization across domains. With strong empirical evidence to establish its robustness, INLI establishes a new benchmark for training AI models to identify implicit meaning, leading to more nuanced and context-aware natural language understanding.Check out the Paper.

Table of Contents When it comes to streaming music, convenience is often king. That's why most people are satisfied with listening to music via online platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. However, streaming music comes with its limitations. For one thing, you don't actually own any of the music that you listen to, meaning it can be taken away in a second if the license holder wishes. If you're someone who wants more freedom when it comes to music and to actually own the music you love, we suggest going a step further and canceling your subscription to these streaming platforms and doing something different. You can purchase either physical copies of your music or through a digital music store.Now, you might be confused about why we mention a digital music store. First, buying digital music, such as MP3s or FLAC files, has more benefits than you realize. Once you purchase these files, they can be stored on any device, meaning that it's yours to keep forever. Digital music stores also offer instant downloads after your purchase, and there's often a choice between different formats, such as MP3s or AAC to save space and money. But if space constraints aren't a concern, most sites also offer lossless FLAC or ALAC versions for a noticeable increase in quality. (They usually cost the same as MP3s.) Of course, if you prefer physical media and aren't too bothered about storage, you can buy CDs and rip the music the old-fashioned way.Regardless of whether you want to store just a single album or a variety of music throughout the ages, we've rounded up the very best digital music stores out there. Some of these names you'll recognize, such as iTunes and Amazon, but there are also some of our personal favorites that don't get the love we think they deserve, such as Bandcamp and Qobuz. No matter which you choose, many of these stores offer apps for both Android and iOS, allowing you to easily listen to the music you purchase. You can also use the music apps that come pre-installed on your phone. See at Apple Average cost per album:$10Maximum bit rate:256Kbps (AAC)iTunes may no longer be the star of Apple's lineup, given that Apple Music is the company's focus right now, but it's still one of the biggest digital marketplaces. iTunes still sets the standard for lossy music downloads, and its catalog should furnish all but your most obscure needs. Technically iTunes doesn't sell MP3s. Instead, it sells songs in its own AAC format, which can be read by almost every modern player.If you use MacOS Catalina or above you can access the marketplace from Music > iTunes Store. If you want to download lossless files keep in mind you will need a Music membership, but you won't be able to keep the music if your subscription ends. See at Bandcamp Average cost per album:$10Maximum bit rate:320Kbps, Lossless (up to 24kHz)With the support of many indie music labels, Bandcamp (now a part of Epic Games) is perhaps the best alternative to iTunes or Amazon, particularly if your tastes run to the more esoteric. The site enables you to download in whichever format you like (MP3, FLAC, Apple Lossless) and seemingly as many times as you like, without paying extra. In addition, the site runs regular Bandcamp Friday events, which give 100% of the proceeds to the artist. See at Amazon Average cost per album:$10Maximum bit rate:256KbpsIf you're an Amazon Prime member, Amazon Music makes a lot of sense. You get a (limited)streaming serviceand a music store to buy MP3s from, in addition to streaming andautomatic rips of physical discsthat you buy. The digital music homepageis fairly drab just a bunch of blocky buttons instead of cover art and includes prominent links toAmazon Music Unlimitedstreaming.Note that although Amazon scuttled its "digital locker" service that stores your MP3s, the MP3s you buy from Amazon will still be available for streaming and download. See at Qobuz Average cost per album:$10 (CD quality), $15 (24-bit)Maximum bit rate:Lossless (up to 24/192)If you're only interested in high-quality downloads and by this I specifically mean 24-bit hi-res

  • Mark Zuckerberg removed tampons from men's restrooms. Meta employees put them back.
    mashable.com
    In an apparent effort to curry favor with then-President-elect Donald Trump, MetaSince Trumps victory, Zuckerberg has overseen a series of policy changes at Meta that critics warn could foster hate speech, misinformation, and harassment on its platforms. Under his leadership, the company has eliminated fact-checkers for Community Notes, lifted prohibitions on certain forms of hate speech, scrapped DEI initiatives, and removed trans-inclusive features from its apps, all while reinstating political content recommendations that could amplify extremist views. These moves align with broader conservative criticisms of social media companies, which Trump and his allies have long accused of being biased against the right.In response to these changes, some progressive Meta employees appear to be pushing back in small but symbolic ways.

According to five anonymous sources cited by The New York Times, employees also circulated a petition calling for Meta to reinstate the amenities.Meta, however, stood firm on its stance. The company reportedly responded it had "not been the intention of Meta leadership to make employees feel unwelcome or excluded in our offices, [but] at this point, we do not have plans to revisit our on-site amenities offerings."

  • Embracing Inclusion: Shattering Myths Around DEI In Transportation
    www.forbes.com
    Dubai Mall, UAE. People of Determination parking sign used to describe people with disabilities. Selika Josiah TalbottIn Dubai, people with disabilities are lovingly referred to as "people with determination." This empowering term captures the essence of individuals who embody resolve and a firm sense of purpose. At the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT), this very ethos has been central to the commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). It emphasized that regardless of personal challenges or identities, every individual within the agency was determined to create a safer, more innovative, and resilient transportation ecosystem.The narrative surrounding DEI candidates often comes cloaked in skepticism, with critics labeling them as "unqualified" for the roles they pursue. This rhetoric is not only outdated but fundamentally flawed. Embracing DEI is not merely about ticking boxes or meeting quotas; it's about acknowledging and harnessing the full potential of a diverse workforce that reflects the very populace we serve. When we offer opportunities to candidates who have traditionally been marginalized whether due to disability, age, veteran status, or other factors we strengthen our teams and enhance our collective capacity to thrive.A Debt That Can Never Be RepaidEncouraging qualified individuals with disabilities to hold administrative positions, or empowering veterans with the right to self-determination after their service, is akin to making a down payment on a debt that can never genuinely be repaid. It recognizes the sacrifices these individuals have made and the hurdles they have overcome. We do not operate under the assumption that these candidates cannot perform their jobs effectively. On the contrary, we celebrate the unique perspectives they bring to the table while insuring they have necessary skills to get the job done.Consider the Schedule A employee, who may be over 50 or a survivor of serious ailments like cancer or heart disease. Or picture the brave veteran who has fought for freedom yet returns home with a missing limb. For too long, individuals with such characteristics faced exclusion in workplaces across the nation. Thanks to the forward-thinking policies enacted during previous administrations, we are just beginning to see a transformative shift one that embraces DEI practices and acknowledges the value each individual adds to the workforce.The Power of Diverse PerspectivesHaving a diverse group of professionals within the USDOT isn't just beneficial; it is imperative. These individuals bring rich, varied experiences that can inform policy decisions and operational practices in ways that a homogenous workforce cannot. When our workplace mirrors the diverse landscape of the nation, we gain invaluable insights into the real-world mobility challenges that our constituents face.MORE FOR YOUTake for instance, a team that includes individuals with different physical abilities. Their lived experiences can directly influence decisions about public transportation accessibility, paving the way for innovations that benefit everyone. When veterans share their stories, they can illuminate the unique transportation needs that arise from military service, facilitating the development of better support systems for all users.Diversity is not a hindrance to productivity; it is a catalyst for innovation. A workforce that encompasses a wide array of backgrounds, life experiences, and perspectives is better equipped to approach problem-solving with creativity and empathy. This, in turn, positions us to develop more effective policies and services that reflect the needs and desires of a diverse population.Challenging Stereotypes and MisconceptionsTOPSHOT - President-elect Barack Obama embraces Iraqi war veteran Tammy Duckworth after the two ... [+] placed a wreath at The Bronze Soldiers Memorial Veteran's Day November 11, 2008. (AFP) (Photo by STAN HONDA/AFP via Getty Images)AFP via Getty ImagesTo counter the misconception that DEI candidates are unqualified, we must highlight their strengths, resilience, and adaptability. We should not vilify DEI programs, as in do so, we adversly impact veterans for whom the federal DEI programs benefit the most. Many have faced obstacles that have equipped them with unique skills, such as perseverance, problem-solving, and innovation. Such traits are vital in todays ever-evolving work environment.Organizations that embrace DEI are trending toward resilience a quality increasingly necessary for navigating the complexities of modern challenges. Companies that wholeheartedly invest in DEI initiatives do not just benefit from enhanced creativity and innovation; they also cultivate a culture of loyalty and retention. Employees appreciate being part of an inclusive environment, leading to higher morale and a stronger sense of belonging.The Path ForwardThe USDOT's past commitment to DEI should be seen as a call to action for all industries and organizations across the nation. We have the opportunity to redefine workplace culture by challenging prevailing stereotypes and advocating for equitable practices. As we continue to push back against the rhetoric that undermines DEI candidates, we must also elevate voices that can share success stories and represent the profound impact that inclusive hiring practices have on their communities.Moreover, every engagement with the public be it through community forums, outreach, or policy meetings offers a chance to reiterate our commitment to an inclusive workforce. By openly discussing the positive contributions of DEI candidates, we can collectively shift the narrative, showcasing how diverse individuals are not just participants but vital contributors to creating a brighter, more innovative future for all.ConclusionInclusion is not just a concept; it's a movement poised to transform workplaces across America. By recognizing the value of diverse candidates, particularly those who have historically faced discrimination, we can create a workforce that is not only stronger but also more equipped to address the needs of a complex society.In the spirit of those "with determination," let us embrace and champion the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion in every sector. The workforce of the future should reflect the beautiful mosaic of perspectives and experiences that our nation holds. Together, we are not just fostering a more equitable environment; we are forging a path that champions innovation, safety, and resilience. By doing so, we affirm that when we lift up those who have been marginalized, we unlock potential that benefits us all.Transportation is Mobility and Mobility Is Freedom

  • I put my dreams on hold to become a teacher. I eventually quit and became Japan's bullet train voice.
    www.businessinsider.com
    Donna Burke, 60, started her teaching career in Perth, Australia, but harbored deeper ambitions.She left the profession to follow her dream of being a famous singer and actor.Now she's a professional singer and the voice of Japan's bullet train. This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Donna Burke. It has been edited for length and clarity.I actually got my education at a teacher training college completely for free.In the 1980s, the Australian government paid for you to attend university if you worked for more than two years. I stayed in a banking job for exactly two years and two days so I could claim free higher education and retrain as a teacher.My parents didn't encourage my true aspirations singing and acting but saw teaching as a safe career on which I could always fall back. I was one of seven children, and we were encouraged to do everything we could to be financially stable. Two of my older sisters also went into teacher training.I reflect now on whether it was good advice to put my dreams second. Perhaps it was. I later really wanted to move to Japan where I now live to work. One of the visa requirements was that you have a university degree. Without following my parents' advice, I'd have been ineligible. But now I get to do something I truly love. I never thought teaching would be a job for lifeI began my teaching career by returning to work at the same school I'd attended as a student. The boys in my class were an absolute nightmare and the girls barely got my attention as I was so busy trying to calm and control the unruly boys. I followed the common advice on winning obedience as a teacher: don't crack a smile before Easter. I was super strict; I had to be.After that, I moved on to teach older students Religion, English, and Drama at a different high school. It was heaven; I could relax and crack jokes without losing control of the class. They'd barely laugh, though.I never hoped it'd be a job for life. I wanted to be onstage.In some ways, teaching is like being onstage; it's like acting. You have to pretend you don't care when you deeply care. You have to stifle laughter, keep a straight face, act really disappointed, or say, " Wow, that's amazing!" knowing that 30 young adults are watching your every move. But they don't want a performer; they want a teacher. I never said it out loud, but in the back of my mind, I knew I was settling.I moved to TokyoAfter eight years of teaching in Perth, Australia, I saw an ad for a teaching job in Tokyo. At the interview, they said the job involved less teaching and more helping Japanese young people with their English conversation skills. It felt like an opportunity for a role with fewer responsibilities in a new and exciting place.When I moved to Japan, I soon realized I could make good money being a wedding singer as a side hustle, something I'd started doing in Perth. I was doing up to six weddings a day. It affirmed what I'd always known: teaching isn't my passion; it's not what I was put on the planet for.In 1997, I left my teaching job in Tokyo and focused on my passion: bringing joy to people through my singing and performing. I also began doing voice-overs for computer games, including Silent Hill and Metal Gear Solid.My voice is on the bullet trainIn 2002, I auditioned to be the English-speaking voice on the Japanese bullet train, the Shinkansen, coinciding with Japan's tourist boom of English speakers. I voiced about five routes, including the most famous: Tokyo to Kyoto.It led to other great jobs, too. I'm also the English voice-over for the earthquake alert system in Japan. So if you're anywhere in the country and a magnitude four earthquake or above happens, your mobile phone will blurt out my voice saying "Earthquake! Earthquake!"I don't regret any of my decisions. But my motto for life is: if you're not grateful for what you're doing, stop. You want to bring some energy into your work.I'm glad I didn't wait around for my "big break." When it happened, it wasn't what I'd expected, but the key was I didn't ask anyone's permission. I went out and made things happen myself.

  • What we know about the Learjet crash in Philadelphia
    www.businessinsider.com
    A medical transport jet crashed in Philadelphia shortly after takeoff on Friday.Six people were on board the Learjet plane when it went down, authorities said.The aircraft had departed Northeast Philadelphia Airport and was headed to Springfield-Branson National Airport in Missouri.A medical transport jet crashed on Friday in northeast Philadelphia.The Learjet 55 had six people on board when it went down shortly after departing Northeast Philadelphia Airport, according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).Flight operator Jet Rescue Air Ambulance said in a statement that four crew members and two passengers a pediatric patient and her mother were on the flight.It said there were no survivors.Mexico's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on X that all six were Mexican.Video footage of the incident circulating on social media seems to show the plane hurtling toward the ground followed by a large explosion.Data from Flightradar24 shows the aircraft, which was headed to Springfield-Branson National Airport in Missouri, had been in service for 43 years. It shows the plane took off shortly after 6 p.m. local time and crashed in less than a minute, "less than three miles from the end of the runway."The FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) have since launched an investigation into the incident.NTSB investigator Ralph Hicks said during a press conference on Saturday that the aircraft arrived at the Northeast Philadelphia Airport around 2:15 p.m. on Friday and was on the ground for a few hours before departing at around 6:06 p.m.The aircraft climbed to about 1,500 feet above the ground before the crash.Officials are classifying the incident as an "accident," Jennifer Homendy, NTSB chairman, said at the press conference.In a post on Truth Social, President Donald Trump said: "So sad to see the plane go down in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.""More innocent souls lost. Our people are totally engaged. First Responders are already being given credit for doing a great job. More to follow. God Bless you all."The incident comes days after an American Airlines flight crashed into a military helicopter near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, killing 67 people.
