📢 ELLIOT is coming! A €25M #HorizonEurope project to develop open, trustworthy Multimodal Generalist Foundation Models, #MGFM, for real-world applications. Starting July, it brings 30 partners from 12 countries to shape Europe’s #AI future.

🔍 Follow for updates on #OpenScience & #FoundationModels.

Just over one week to go before our first workshop takes place in which we present outcomes of our work. On 17 & 24 June, 2-5 pm we invite the #verification, #factchecking, #disinformation detection community to meet us on Zoom.
Registration required. Hope to see you then!

We're inviting the #verification, #factchecking and #disinformation detection community to 2 workshops in which we showcase veraAI results: 17 June is targeting #journalists and #factcheckers; 24 June focusses on the R&D community. Both events run from 2-5 pm. Registration required. See you soon!? 😃

veraAI partner @disinfo.eu / Ana Romero-Vicente (@anicanaca.bsky.social) authored a report entitled "Visual assessment of Coordinated Inauthentic Behaviour in disinformation campaigns". Editor: @netosessa.bsky.social. We provide a summary and the full publication here. www.veraai.eu/posts/report...

Today, we are publishing the first-ever International AI Safety Report, backed by 30 countries and the OECD, UN, and EU.

It summarises the state of the science on AI capabilities and risks, and how to mitigate those risks. 🧵

Hello Bluesky! We are MedDMO, a regional hub of @edmo-eu.bsky.social covering Greece, Cyprus, and Malta. We bring together research, fact-checking, and media organizations that conduct internationally acknowledged research and activities in the area of disinformation.
Let's connect!

🌍 Guessing where an image was taken is a hard, and often ambiguous problem. Introducing diffusion-based geolocation—we predict global locations by refining random guesses into trajectories across the Earth's surface!

Energy consumption of AI becomes a priority as such systems are widely deployed and are responsible for a big part of society's energy footprint. In our latest work, we proposed the concept of neural network "complementarity" to quantify the extent that two NNs lead to complementary predictions...

Just realized BlueSky allows sharing valuable stuff cause it doesn't punish links. 🤩

Let's start with "What are embeddings" by @vickiboykis.com

The book is a great summary of embeddings, from history to modern approaches.

The best part: it's free.

The Cosmos suite of neural tokenizers for images & videos is impressive.
Cosmos is trained on diverse high-res imgs & long-vids, scales well for both discrete & continuous tokens, generalizes to multiple domains (robotics, driving, egocentric ...) & has excellent runtime
