Watermarking AI-generated content with SynthID-Text by Google DeepMind
Plus: Meta's CoTracker3: Simpler and Better Point Tracking by Pseudo-Labeling Real Videos
Greetings, fellow humans! We are kicking off the new year with a lineup of talks about very impactful AI research work that has been done recently.
SynthID-Text: Watermarking AI-generated text content
AI-generated content very often matches human quality and it's becoming better and better. This can be used by bad actors to deliberately spread misinformation and harm the entire Internet ecosystem. Until now there was not a production-ready, scalable solution that could address the issue.
In this upcoming BuzzRobot talk, our guest Sumanth Dathathri, a research scientist at Google DeepMind, who is also the leading author of the work, will introduce SynthID-Text, a production-ready text watermarking system.
Our guest will share with us the technical details of creating SynthID-Text, including its compatibility with advanced techniques like speculative sampling, crucial for enhancing the efficiency of production systems.
He'll also cover insights from a live experiment with about 20 million Gemini responses, showcasing how SynthID-Text maintains text quality based on direct user feedback.

CoTracker3: Simpler and better point tracking by pseudo-labeling real videos
When Meta released CoTracker, a model that jointly tracks 2D points in long video sequences, the GitHub repo of the project gained thousands of stars and the project proved to be useful for robotics research, video generation, as well as in bio and medical domains.
The BuzzRobot guest, Nikita Karaev, the co-author of CoTracker, will share with us key insights from working on the project and the subsequent work, CoTracker3, a SOTA point tracker trained on synthetic data that was released a few months ago.
