Cutting-Edge Research

  1. FaceRefiner makes facial textures more realistic. FaceRefiner is tackling the age-old problem of inconsistent AI-generated facial details! 💡 This Paper (AI News) introduces a method that treats 3D sampled textures as styles and uses differentiable rendering for transfer. It doesn’t just convey high-level info; it preserves pixel-level details 🤩 without losing identity features. On datasets like Multi-PIE and CelebA, its performance surpasses existing methods.

  2. Human-AI collaboration identifies phishing emails. A new study on human-AI collaboration for phishing detection is out! This New Research (AI News) compared the abilities of 🤖 machine learning and human judgment in identifying phishing emails. Results show that while models have decent accuracy, their confidence levels fluctuate wildly. Humans, using richer linguistic features, show more stable judgments. Age impacts detection effectiveness, but language proficiency doesn’t seem to play a big role.

  3. InfiAgent solves long-task context explosion. InfiAgent has a cool solution for long-task context explosion! This Paper (AI News) proposes a file-centric state externalization scheme 🚀 that keeps the Agent’s reasoning context length fixed. Whether a task runs for 10 steps or 1000, it won’t accumulate errors. A 20B open-source model performed nearly as well as larger closed-source systems on an 80-paper literature review task.
