Vision foundation models pre-trained on massive data encode rich representations of real-world concepts, which can be adapted to downstream tasks by fine-tuning. However, fine-tuning foundation models on one task often leads to the issue of concept forgetting on other tasks. Recent methods of robust fine-tuning aim to mitigate forgetting of prior knowledge without affecting the …

A requirement that ICE agents ensure courthouse arrests don’t clash with state and local laws has been rescinded by the agency. ICE declined to explain what that means for future enforcement.
A trio of AI researchers at KAIST AI, in Korea, has developed what they call a Chain-of-Zoom framework that allows the generation of extreme super-resolution imagery using existing super-resolution models without the need for retraining.
I’ve got some old photos from a family member that served on the Western front in World War I. I used Flux.1 Kontext for colorization, using the prompt “Turn this into a color photograph”. Quite happy with the results, impressive that it largely keeps the faces intact. Color of the clothing might not be period …

Feature engineering is a key process in most data analysis workflows, especially when constructing machine learning models.
Gemini 2.5 has new capabilities in AI-powered audio dialog and generation.
Cross-lingual transfer is a popular approach to increase the amount of training data for NLP tasks in a low-resource context. However, the best strategy to decide which cross-lingual data to include is unclear. Prior research often focuses on a small set of languages from a few language families or a single task. It is still …
