Within the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP), resolving references is a critical challenge. It involves identifying the context of specific words or phrases, pivotal to both understanding and successfully managing diverse forms of context. These can range from previous dialogue turns in conversation to non-conversational elements such as user screen entities or background processes.

OpenAI has introduced a breakthrough feature to the DALL-E image generation model that allows users to adjust and refine the AI-generated images directly on the platform. The innovative addition takes the form of an editor interface which operates intuitively, simplifying the task of making changes to images through the use of text prompts that facilitate…
The need for speed and precision in today's digitally-fueled arena is ever-increasing, making it a challenge for search engines to meet these expectations. Traditional retrieval models present a trade-off between speed, accuracy, and computational cost. To address this, researchers from the University of Glasgow have offered a creative solution known as shallow Cross-Encoders. These small…
Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to develop models to generate code accurately and efficiently, automating software development tasks and aiding programmers. The challenge, however, is that many of these models are large and require extensive resources, which makes them difficult to deploy in practical situations. One such robust, large-scale model is Jamba, a generative text model…
Large Language Models (LLMs) are widely used in complex reasoning tasks across various fields. But, their construction and optimization demand considerable computational power, particularly when pretraining on large datasets. To mitigate this, researchers have proposed scaling equations showing the relationship between pretraining loss and computational effort.
However, new findings suggest these rules may not thoroughly represent…
Large Language Models (LLMs) require safety tuning to ensure alignment with human values. However, even those tuned for safety are susceptible to jailbreaking—errant behavior that escapes designed safety measures. Even benign data, free of harmful content, can lead to safety degradation, an issue recently studied by researchers from Princeton University's Princeton Language and Intelligence (PLI).
The…
The fast-paced evolution of artificial intelligence, particularly Vision Language Models (VLMs), presents challenges in ensuring their reliability and trustworthiness. These VLMs integrate visual and textual understanding, however, their increasing sophistication has brought into focus their ability to detect and not respond to unsolvable or irrelevant questions— an aspect known as Unsolvable Problem Detection (UPD).
UPD…
Artificial intelligence (AI) continues to revolutionize various industries, and OctoAI Inc.'s introduction of OctoStack, a software platform, takes a giant leap forward. OctoStack is designed to empower AI inference environments within businesses, addressing key apprehensions about data privacy, security, and control by allowing businesses to host AI models on their in-house infrastructure.
Previously, large language models…
Natural Language Processing (NLP) has transformed with the advent of Transformer models. The document generation and summarization, machine translation, and speech recognition abilities of Transformers have exhibited significant progress. Their dominance is specifically seen in large language models (LLMs) that deal with more complex tasks through upscaling transformer architecture. However, the growth of the Transformer…
Software development can be a complex process, with developers often having to spend a great deal of time on tasks such as navigating through codebases, debugging and making modifications. Although existing tools and Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) provide some assistance, these may not suffice for more intricate projects. They often offer features like code completion,…
Artificial intelligence (AI) is advancing at a rapid pace, with breakthroughs in natural language processing (NLP) seen in virtual assistants and language models. However, as these systems become more sophisticated, they also become harder to understand, a concern in critical sectors such as healthcare, finance, and criminal justice. Researchers from Imperial College London have now…
Companies are now grappling with a flood of text data—including user-generated content and chat logs—which poses significant challenges for storage, organization, and analysis. Traditional methods of handling such data, often relying on large language models (LLMs), can be time-consuming, expensive, and prone to error. Furthermore, LLMs often prove unsatisfactory when dealing with "creative" labels that…
