AI agents can lead to an irreversible de-evolution of human knowledge📉 As shown in the video, agentic models drive a cycle of decay: when they edit images iteratively, they introduce invisible noise that accumulates until quality collapse. To quantify this decay, we built Banana100. 🧵1/2
We are recruiting postdocs @ai-ucsb.bsky.social ! With @haewonjeong.bsky.social Yao Qin You want to lead the future of AI4Science? Apply to UCSB Real AI For Science Initiative 🌟 Deadline: Sept 15, 2025. This is the view you'll have from... your desk! By @adelemyers.bsky.social

🎨 Excited to share that my work is featured in the CVPR AI Art Gallery 2025! Come and see how AI image generation can be controlled with surgical precision. Link: thecvf-art.com/project/comp... Thanks to @elluba.bsky.social and @cvprconference.bsky.social for hosting the event! #CVPR2025
Flux.1 Kontext [pro] failing on an image editing task. The task is to add a backpack onto this bench. 100% failure rate. None of the prompt-based models, including gpt4o and Gemini 2.5 Pro, have succeeded on this task.
Our team has officially open-sourced the SPICE image editing workflow. Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2504.09697 Code: github.com/kenantang/sp...
🧵 Our team just introduced SPICE, a novel image editing framework that significantly outperforms GPT-4o & Gemini 2.0 in single-step editing tests. Here’s why SPICE matters in AI-driven creative workflows: 👇
The image editing workflow we propose succeeds in editing a challenging image from Emu Edit. The prompt is “open the refrigerator door in the image”.
Localized and precise image editing results from a pipeline we develop. Users only need to provide crude sketches and masks. No hyperparameter tuning or prompt engineering needed. All results are first shot. Baseline: arxiv.org/abs/2402.17525
Six months ago someone put a for-loop around GPT-4o and got 50% on the ARC-AGI test set and 72% on a held-out training set redwoodresearch.substack.com/p/getting-50... Just sample 8000 times with beam search. o3 is probably a more principled search technique...

You can just draw more samples

In fact, @sayash.bsky.social and I have just published an essay with them, where we play our usual role of looking at the evidence and tamping down AI hype and fears instead of playing them up. knightcolumbia.org/blog/we-look... (Cross-posted to AI Snake Oil aisnakeoil.com/p/we-looked-...)

I just updated the translation span annotations from our EMNLP Findings paper. Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct is a free and powerful alternative to gpt-4-0125-preview on this task. Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2410.00988 Demo: kenantang.github.io/cjk-idioms-gpt/ #AI #LLM #NLP #Translation
A 4-ear rabbit is playing a violin without a bridge. She holds a spoon. There is a potato under the spoon and 5 fish in the air. #AiArt
🚨I too am on the job market‼️🤯 I'm searching for faculty positions/postdocs in multilingual/multicultural NLP, vision+language models, and eval for genAI! I'll be at #NeurIPS2024 presenting our work on meta-evaluation for text-to-image faithfulness! Let's chat there! Papers in🧵, see more: saxon.me
Happy Thanksgiving! If you follow me for AI art, please check out my IG account (kenantang2001). I mainly post there instead of here.
