Image captioning is a famous multimodal task that combines computer vision and natural language processing. The research topic has undergone considerable study over the years, and the models available today are substantially strong enough to handle a large variety of cases. In this article, we will explore the use of Hugging Face’s transformer library to utilize the latest sequence-to-sequence models using a Vision Transformer encoder and a GPT-based decoder. We will see how HuggingFace makes it simple to use openly available models to perform image captioning. Model Selection and Architecture We use the ViT-GPT2-image-captioning pre-trained model by nlpconnect available on HuggingFace. Image captioning takes an image as an input and outputs a textual description of the image. For this task, we use a multi-modal model divided into two parts; an encoder and a decoder. The encoder takes the raw image pixels as input and uses a neural network to transform them into a 1-dimensional com...

Credits:Image: M.Weiss/NASA/CXC Researchers from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, and the MIT Haystack Observatory have developed a new algorithm that could help astronomers produce the first image of a black hole. The algorithm would stitch together data collected from radio telescopes scattered around the globe, under the auspices of an international collaboration called the Event Horizon Telescope . The project seeks, essentially, to turn the entire planet into a large radio telescope dish. “Radio wavelengths come with a lot of advantages,” says Katie Bouman, an MIT graduate student in electrical engineering and computer science, who led the development of the new algorithm. “Just like how radio frequencies will go through walls, they pierce th...

DOHA, Qatar, January 23, 2025 (Newswire.com) - The Middle East is undergoing a seismic transformation in healthcare IT, emerging as one of the fastest-growing regions for digital health innovation. According to the 2025 Black Book of Global Healthcare IT, the region's rapid advancements in electronic health records (EHR), artificial intelligence (AI), interoperability, and revenue cycle management (RCM) reflect a bold commitment to redefining healthcare for the 21st century. This year's Black Book global HIT survey released earlier this month, encompassing insights from over six hundred healthcare tech users across the Middle East, highlights the region's unprecedented progress in adopting technologies that are setting new global benchmarks. From government-led initiatives like Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 to innovative private sector collaborations in the UAE, Oman, and Qatar, the Middle East is carving out its place as a hub of healthcare transformation. Unprecedented ...

The publication of the " WHO Guidance for human genome data collection, access, use and sharing " in November 2024 marks a major milestone in advancing ethical standards for genomic data globally. For the first time, a comprehensive set of principles has been established to ensure respect for individual rights, promote equity, and foster collaboration. This webinar provides a unique opportunity to hear directly from WHO experts and global leaders about the guidance and its practical implications for research, policy, and healthcare systems. Key Areas of Focus:Promoting equitable access to genomic technologies and data. Embedding ethical considerations into research and public health. Simplifying data-sharing while ensuring privacy. Strengthening the role of genomics in health systems. Building global collaboration for ethical genomic research.

  Retail giant Wal-Mart Stores is a huge collector of big data from around the world and in its big data hub known as the Data Cafe where more than 2.5 petabytes of data are analyzed each hour from dozens of social media websites, weather and transaction information totaling more than 200 data streams. For reference, 1 petabyte is the equivalent of the information that could be stored on 1.5 million CD-ROM discs. Also, 1 petabyte is equal to 1,024 terabytes, and one terabyte contains a little more than 1 trillion bytes. This high tech center located in the retailer’s Information Systems Division in Bentonville has reduced the time it takes to analyze data from 2.5 weeks to about 30 minutes. The retailer said the time savings is beneficial to stemming lost sales. The Data “Cafe” stands for Collaborative Analytics Facilities for Enterprise and represents one of the largest data centers in the world as the retailer tries to anticipate shoppers needs. In a recent blog post , Wal-Mart s...

The nonprofit organization MITRE, which maintains the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database, said on April 15 that the US government funding for its operations will expire without renewal; however, in a last-minute reversal announced the morning of April 16, CISA said it has extended support for the database . At the same time, CVE Board members have founded the CVE Foundation, a nonprofit not affiliated with the US federal government, to maintain the CVE program. The CVE program, which has been in place since 1999, is an essential way to report and track vulnerabilities. Many other cybersecurity resources, such as Microsoft’s Patch Tuesday update and report, refer to CVE numbers to identify flaws and fixes. Organizations called CVE Numbering Authorities are associated with MITRE and authorized to assign CVE numbers. “CVE underpins a huge chunk of vulnerability management, incident response, and critical infrastructure protection efforts,” wrote Casey Ellis, founder of c...

Introduction AI is everywhere. It is hard not to interact at least once a day with a Large Language Model (LLM). The chatbots are here to stay. They’re in your apps, they help you write better, they compose emails, they read emails…well, they do a lot. And I don’t think that that is bad. In fact, my opinion is the other way – at least so far. I defend and advocate for the use of AI in our daily lives because, let’s agree, it makes everything much easier. I don’t have to spend time double-reading a document to find punctuation problems or type. AI does that for me. I don’t waste time writing that follow-up email every single Monday. AI does that for me. I don’t need to read a huge and boring contract when I have an AI to summarize the main takeaways and action points to me! These are only some of AI’s great uses. If you’d like to know more use cases of LLMs to make our lives easier, I wrote a whole book about them. Now, thinking as a data scientist and looking at the technical side, no...

Research on efficient light-matter interfaces at the nanoscale has recently sparked intense interest mostly due to their plethora of potential applications, including quantum computing and quantum sensing at a single photon level. Enhancing light-matter interactions typically involves coupling an atom to a macroscopic system, such as a large optical cavity, or connecting a dense cloud of atoms with light in free space. The next step is to couple atoms to nanophotonic structures. This integration can make light-matter interactions even stronger, resulting in more robust systems. “A question that cuts to the heart of it all is whether use of nanophotonic interfaces can reveal quantum phenomena never witnessed before and not just merely make old things work better than new,” notes Darrick Chang, European Research Council grantee and principal investigator of the ERC-funded FoQAL project. “From a theoretical standpoint, the question is how to model these new systems that look quite differ...
