Researchers from New York University, ELLIS Institute, and the University of Maryland have developed a model, known as Contrastive Style Descriptors (CSD), that enables a more nuanced understanding of artistic styles in digital artistry. This has been done with the aim of deciphering whether generative models like Stable Diffusion and DALL-E are merely replicating existing…
Machine learning researchers have developed a cost-effective reward mechanism to help improve how language models interact with video data. The technique involves using detailed video captions to measure the quality of responses produced by video language models. These captions serve as proxies for actual video frames, allowing language models to evaluate the factual accuracy of…
The increasingly sophisticated language models of today need vast quantities of text data for pretraining, often in the order of trillions of words. This poses a considerable problem for smaller languages that lack the necessary resources. To tackle this issue, researchers from the TurkuNLP Group, the University of Turku, Silo AI, the University of Helsinki,…
Large language models (LLMs) have received much acclaim for their ability to understand and process human language. However, these models tend to struggle with mathematical reasoning, a skill that requires a combination of logic and numeric understanding. This shortcoming has sparked interest in researching and developing methods to improve LLMs' mathematical abilities without downgrading their…
With an increase in the adoption of pre-trained language models in recent years, the use of neural-based retrieval models has been on the rise. One of these models is Dense Retrieval (DR), known for its effectiveness and impressive ranking performance on several benchmarks. In particular, Multi-Vector Dense Retrieval (MVDR) employs multiple vectors to describe documents…
The concept of cascades in large language models (LLMs) has gained popularity for its high task efficiency while reducing data inference. However, potential privacy issues can arise in managing sensitive user information due to interactivity between local and remote models. Conventional cascade systems lack privacy-protecting mechanisms, causing sensitive data to be unintentionally transferred to the…
Clinical trials are crucial for medical advancements as they evaluate the safety and efficacy of new treatments. However, they often face challenges including high costs, lengthy durations, and the need for large numbers of participants. A significant challenge in optimizing clinical trials is accurately predicting outcomes. Traditional methods of research, dependent on electronic health records…
In the field of data science, linear models such as logistic and linear regression are highly valued due to their simplicity and efficacy in creating meaningful inferences from data. They are particularly useful in scenarios where there is a linear relationship between outcomes and input variables, aiding in predicting customer demand, assessing medical risks, and…
The field of chemistry has been positively impacted by the boom in artificial intelligence research, specifically through the introduction of large language models (LLMs).
