Autoregressive language models (ALMs) have become invaluable tools in machine translation, text generation, and similar tasks. Despite their success, challenges persist such as high computational complexity and extensive GPU memory usage. This makes the need for a cost-effective way to operate these models urgent. Large language models (LLMs), which use KV Cache mechanism to enhance…
The rapidly evolving field of research addressing hallucinations in vision-language models (VLVMs), or artificially intelligent (AI) systems that generate coherent but factually incorrect responses, is increasingly gaining attention. Especially important when applied in crucial domains like medical diagnostics or autonomous driving, the accuracy of the outputs from VLVMs, which combine text and visual inputs, is…
Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems, such as Vision-Language Models (VLVMs), are becoming increasingly advanced, integrating text and visual inputs to generate responses. These models are being used in critical contexts, such as medical diagnostics and autonomous driving, where accuracy is paramount. However, researchers have identified a significant issue in these models, which they refer to as…
Mixture-of-experts (MoE) architectures, designed for better scaling of model sizes and more efficient inference and training, present a challenge to optimize due to their non-differentiable, discrete nature. Traditional MoEs use a router network which directs input data to expert modules, a process that is complex and can lead to inefficiencies and under-specialization of expert modules.…
Large Language Models (LLMs) play a crucial role in computational linguistics. However, their enormous size and the massive computational demands they require make deploying them very challenging. To faciliate simpler computations and boost model performance, a process of "quantization" is used, which simplifies the data involved. Traditional quantization techniques convert high-precision numbers into lower-precision integers,…
The recent development of large language models (LLMs), which can generate high-quality content across various domains, has revolutionized the field of natural language creation. These models are fundamentally of two types: those with open-source model weights and data sources, and those for which all model-related information, including training data, data sampling ratios, logs, checkpoints, and…
In the world of medical technology, the use of large language models (LLMs) is becoming instrumental, largely due to their ability to analyse and discern copious amounts of medical text, providing insight that would typically require extensive human expertise. The evolution of such technology could lead to substantial reductions in healthcare costs and broaden access…
Robotics traditionally operates within two dominant architectures: modular hierarchical policies and end-to-end policies. The former uses rigid layers like symbolic planning, trajectory generation, and tracking, whereas the latter uses high-capacity neural networks to directly connect sensory input to actions. Large language models (LLMs) have rejuvenated the interest in hierarchical control architectures, with researchers using LLMs…
Information extraction (IE) is a crucial aspect of artificial intelligence, which involves transforming unstructured text into structured and actionable data. Traditional large language models (LLMs), while having high capacities, often struggle to properly comprehend and perform detailed specific directives necessary for effective IE. This problem is particularly evident in closed IE tasks that require adherence…
Structured commonsense reasoning in natural language processing (NLP) is a vital research area focusing on enabling machines to understand and reason about everyday scenarios like humans. It involves translating natural language into interlinked concepts that mirror human logical reasoning. However, it's consistently challenging to automate and accurately model commonsense reasoning.
Traditional methodologies often require robust mechanisms…
Researchers from Imperial College London and Dell have developed a new framework for transferring styles to images using text prompts to guide the process while maintaining the substance of the original image. This advanced model, called StyleMamba, addresses the computational requirements and training inefficiencies present in current text-guided stylization techniques.
Traditionally, text-driven stylization requires significant computational…
Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) represent an advanced fusion of computer vision and language processing. These models have evolved from predecessors, which could only handle either text or images, to now being capable of tasks that require integrated handling of both. Despite these evolution, a highly complex issue known as 'hallucination' impairs their abilities. 'Hallucination'…
