Sci-Fi publisher bemoans influx of plagiarism
Online Sci-Fi publisher Clarkesworld has temporarily closed submissions due to an exponential increase in articles with plagiarized material coinciding with the surging interest in ChatGPT.
In a blog post, Editor-in-Chief Neil Clarke observed that plagiarists have “a new tool in their arsenal.”
“It’s clear that business as usual won’t be sustainable and I worry that this path will lead to an increased number of barriers for new and international authors,” he wrote.
The editor posted a graph that showed submission numbers soar post-ChatGPT launch in November 2022.
Clarke said the sheer number of submissions that now require checking is getting too much.
“If the field can’t find a way to address this situation, things will begin to break,” he wrote. “It’s not the death of short fiction, but it is going to complicate things.”
Canon banks on deep learning to improve cameras
Japanese camera maker Canon has unveiled new image processing technology powered by deep learning.
The tech is designed to improve camera image quality by reducing noise, blur and reflections, among other issues impacting images.
Using a neural network, the model was trained on a vast amount of image data. The model was trained to derive features from the data to make desirable inferences.
According to Canon, the deep learning tech reduces image noise without losing details of the subject, compared to past noise reduction functions.
