AI and the Law – Copyright Traps for Large Language Models – This new tool can tell you whether AI has stolen your work
https://github.com/computationalprivacy/copyright-traps
Copyright traps (see Meeus et al. (ICML 2024)) are unique, synthetically generated sequences who have been included into the training dataset of CroissantLLM. This dataset allows for the evaluation of Membership Inference Attacks (MIAs) using CroissantLLM as target model, where the goal is to infer whether a certain trap sequence was either included in or excluded from the training data.
This dataset contains non-member (
label=0) and member (label=1) trap sequences, which have been generated using this code and by sampling text from LLaMA-2 7B while controlling for sequence length and perplexity. The dataset contains splits according toseq_len_{XX}_n_rep_{YY}where sequences ofXX={25,50,100}tokens are considered andYY={10, 100, 1000}number of repetitions for member sequences. Each dataset also contains the ‘perplexity bucket’ for each trap sequence, where the original paper showed that higher perplexity sequences tend to be more vulnerable.Note that for a fixed sequence length, and across various number of repetitions, each split contains the same set of non-member sequences (
n_rep=0). Also additional non-members generated in exactly the same way are provided here, which might be required for some MIA methodologies making additional assumptions for the attacker. -

Canva acquires Leonardo.ai
https://techcrunch.com/2024/07/29/canva-acquires-leonardo-ai-to-boost-its-generative-ai-efforts
The financial terms of the deal weren’t disclosed, but Canva co-founder and chief product officer Cameron Adams said it’s a mix of cash and stock. All of Leonardo.ai’s 120 employees will be joining Canva, including the executive team.
“Leonardo will continue to run independently of Canva with a focus on rapid innovation, research and development, now backed by Canva’s resources,” Adams told TechCrunch. “We’ll keep offering all of Leonardo’s existing tools and solutions. This acquisition aims to help Leonardo develop its platform and deepen their user growth with our investment, including by expanding their API business and investing in foundational model R&D.”

Photography basics: Lumens vs Candelas (candle) vs Lux vs FootCandle vs Watts vs Irradiance vs Illuminance
https://www.translatorscafe.com/unit-converter/en-US/illumination/1-11/
The power output of a light source is measured using the unit of watts W. This is a direct measure to calculate how much power the light is going to drain from your socket and it is not relatable to the light brightness itself.
The amount of energy emitted from it per second. That energy comes out in a form of photons which we can crudely represent with rays of light coming out of the source. The higher the power the more rays emitted from the source in a unit of time.
Not all energy emitted is visible to the human eye, so we often rely on photometric measurements, which takes in account the sensitivity of human eye to different wavelenghts
