• Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is poised to enable a new leap in the creation of scholarly content. New forms of engagement with AI systems, such as collaborations with large language models like GPT-3, offer affordances that will change the nature of both the scholarly process and the artifacts it produces. This article articulates ways in which those artifacts can be written, distributed, read, organized, and stored that are more dynamic, and potentially more effective, than current academic practices. Specifically, rather than the current "early-binding" process (that is, one in which ideas are fully reduced to a final written form before they leave an author's desk), we propose that there are substantial benefits to a "late-binding" process, in which ideas are written dynamically at the moment of reading. In fact, the paradigm of "binding" knowledge may transition to a new model in which scholarship remains ever "unbound" and evolving. An alternative form for a scholarly work could be encapsulated via several key components: a text abstract of the work's core arguments; hyperlinks to a bibliography of relevant related work; novel data that had been collected and metadata describing those data; algorithms or processes necessary for analyzing those data; a reference to a particular AI model that would serve as a "renderer" of the canonical version of the text; and specified parameters that would allow for a precise, word-for-word reconstruction of the canonical version. Such a form would enable both the rendering of the canonical version, and also the possibility of dynamic AI reimaginings of the text in light of future findings, scholarship unknown to the original authors, alternative theories, and precise tailoring to specific audiences (e.g., children, adults, professionals, amateurs).

  We discuss the extension of DFKD to Vision-Language Foundation Models without access to the billion-level image-text datasets. The objective is to customize a student model for distribution-agnostic downstream tasks with given category concepts. We propose three novel Prompt Diversification methods to encourage image synthesis with diverse styles.
