OPAW: Real-Time Target Sound Extraction

In this instalment of "One Paper a Week", we're looking at Waveformer, a neural network for extracting specific waveforms from a sound mix in real-time. If you're thinking "Independent Component Analysis", you're not alone: ICA can also extract a desired signal from a mix of signals (similarly to how we are able to understand a … Continue reading OPAW: Real-Time Target Sound Extraction

OPAW: Tracking Capabilities for Safer Agents

With AI agents rampaging on half the population's computers, there is increased interest in safe-guarding AI agent workflows. In "Tracking Capabilities for Safer Agents" no one less than Martin Odersky (et al) propose a framework for running AI agents subject to security policies. The answer is - of course - Scala. I'm skipping the problem … Continue reading OPAW: Tracking Capabilities for Safer Agents

LLMs and the Extended Mind Thesis

TL;DR: a decentralised, autonomous, stealthy AI could form through LLM-instances manipulating people into transporting information between them. The extended mind thesis The extended mind thesis [EMT] deals with topics like the use of the surrounding environment by an intelligent system for information processing. A simple example would be taking notes on a paper, a more … Continue reading LLMs and the Extended Mind Thesis
