The growth of artificial intelligence, particularly in the area of neural networks, has significantly enhanced the capacity for data processing and analysis. Emphasis is increasingly being placed on the efficiency of training and deploying deep neural networks, with artificial intelligence accelerators being developed to manage the training of expansive models with multibillion parameters. However, these…
Researchers from several international institutions including Microsoft Research Asia, the University of Science and Technology of China, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Zhejiang University, The University of Tokyo, and Peking University have developed a high-quality text-to-speech (TTS) system known as NaturalSpeech 3. The system addresses existing issues in zero-shot TTS, where speech for unseen…
In the field of machine learning applications, recommendation systems are critical to help customize user experiences on digital platforms, such as e-commerce and social media. However, traditional recommendation models struggle to manage the complexity and size of contemporary datasets. As a solution to this, Wukong, a product of Meta Platforms, Inc., introduces a unique architecture…
Researchers from the University of California, San Diego, have pioneered a ground-breaking method of debugging code in software development using Large Language Models (LLM). Their tool, known as the Large Language Model Debugger (LDB), seeks to enhance the efficacy and reliability of LLM-generated code. Using this new tool, developers can focus on discrete sections of…
Understanding the differences between various inference methods is essential for natural language processing (NLP) models, subword tokenization, and vocabulary construction algorithms like BPE, WordPiece, and UnigramLM. The choice of inference methods in implementations has a significant impact on the algorithm's compatibility and its effectiveness. However, it is often unclear how well inference methods match with…
Machine learning has recently shifted from training and testing data from the same distribution towards handling diverse data sets. Researchers identified that models perform better when dealing with multiple distributions. This adaptability is often achieved using “rich representations,” surpassing the abilities of traditional models. The challenge lies in optimizing machine learning models to perform well…
Neural text embeddings are critical components of natural language processing (NLP) applications, acting as digital fingerprints for words and sentences. These embeddings are primarily generated by Masked Language Models (MLMs), but the advent of large Autoregressive Language Models (AR LMs) has prompted the development of optimized embedding techniques.
A key drawback to traditional AR LM-based…
Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs), which combine powerful language and vision encoders, have shown excellent proficiency in tasks involving real-world images. However, they have generally struggled with abstract ideas, primarily due to their lack of exposure to domain-specific data during training. This is particularly true for areas requiring abstract reasoning, such as physics and mathematics.
To address…
The development of large language models (LLMs) in artificial intelligence has greatly influenced how machines comprehend and create text, demonstrating high accuracy in mimicking human conversation. These models have found utility in multiple applications, including content creation, automated customer support, and language translation. Yet, the practical deployment of LLMs is often incapacitated due to their…
Large Language Models (LLMs), trained on extensive text data, have displayed unprecedented capabilities in various tasks such as marketing, reading comprehension, and medical analysis. These tasks are usually carried out through next-token prediction and fine-tuning. However, the discernment between deep understanding and shallow memorization among these models remains a challenge. It is essential to assess…
The technology industry has been heavily focused on the development and enhancement of machine decision-making capabilities, especially with large language models (LLMs). Traditionally, decision-making in machines was improved through reinforcement learning (RL), a process of learning from trial and error to make optimal decisions in different environments. However, the conventional RL methodologies tend to concentrate…
The implementation of APIs into Large Language Models (LLMs) is a major step towards complex, functional AI systems like hotel reservations or job applications through conversational interfaces. However, the development of these systems relies heavily on the LLM's ability to accurately identify APIs, fill the necessary parameters, and sequence API calls based on the user's…
