🇲🇱🇳🇪🇧🇫🇬🇳🇹🇩L'Afrique de l'Ouest frappée par des inondations dévastatrices. Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, Guinée, Tchad..des milliers de familles ont tout perdu, les infrastructures sont ravagées et le bilan humain s'alourdit. Une tragédie qui appelle à la solidarité internationale.

Very proud to share that our work has been accepted to Nature Machine Intelligence 🔥 This work provides a critical audit -- highlights a crisis in the misattribution of datasets driving many recent breakthroughs. This also marked the beginning of the data provenance initiative. ✨

What the Indaba X communities have done around the continent to strengthen AI/ML is definitely worth attention. 47 countries so far and growing. Great to see all their work at Deep Learning Indaba #DLI2024

We're thrilled to announce the release of CHOWNET-V1, a high-quality, human-annotated food images dataset curated for multi-label classification, food object detection, and food captioning tasks! 🍚🍲 Download: zenodo.org/records/136335… Presented at Deep Learning Indaba dataset track.

YC S24's DigitalCarbon transforms images and videos into photorealistic, editable 3D scenes. Create virtual home tours or show off products in 3D using just your phone — no special gear needed. Congrats on the launch, Guru + michael phi! ycombinator.com/launches/LmU-d…

A history of femicide of elite female athletes in Kenya. • Agnes Tirop-stabbed/clobbered to death 2021 •Edna Muthoni-Throat slit by machete 2021 • Damaris Muthee Mutua- Strangled 2022 • Rebecca Cheptegei- Torched Sep 2024. All by their male partners. None have been jailed.

My favorite part of Deep Learning Indaba! Can't wait to see the posters online.

A special moment for all the work we are doing -- thank you TIME. ✨

I wrote about an innovative scheme by Google.org,The Airbel Impact Lab at the IRC and GiveDirectly💸 that uses AI tools to predict floods, and provides cash in advance to farmers in northern Nigeria, safeguarding their crops and homes. context.news/ai/armed-with-…

Excited to announce that Unsloth AI is part of @YCombinator S24! My brother and I relocated to SF from Sydney, and it's been super hectic! Waymos, AI ads, and the people are the best! We’re so pumped to bring fine-tuning to an even larger audience and showcase how easy it can

Excited to announce All Hands AI has fundraised $5M to accelerate development of open-source AI agents for developers! I'm looking forward to further building out the software, the community, and making AI developers accessible for all 🚀

YC S24's Outerport lets companies save on GPU costs by making it easy to switch between AI tasks. Outerport minimizes cold starts, allows dynamic scaling of AI inference, and keeps track of model weights. Congrats on the launch, Towaki Takikawa / 瀧川永遠希 and Allen Wang! ycombinator.com/launches/La9-o…

When TIME Magazine recognizes you as one of the world’s most influential people in artificial intelligence 🤩

📸 Recap from #DLI2024! Ernest Mwebaze joined a panel discussion on African startups, while Tiba showcased our Sunbird Acoustic Environmental Sensor.

If you can replace "blockchain" by "database" and it still makes sense then it's likely bs
