Transformer-based Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT and LLaMA are highly effective in tasks requiring specialized knowledge and complex reasoning. However, their massive computational and storage requirements present significant challenges in wider applications. One solution to this problem is quantization, a method that converts 32-bit parameters into smaller bit sizes, which greatly improves storage efficiency…
Large language models (LLMs) are pivotal in advancing artificial intelligence and natural language processing. Despite their impressive capabilities in understanding and generating human language, LLMs still grapple with the issue of improving the effectiveness and control of in-context learning (ICL). Traditional ICL methods often suffer from uneven performance and significant computational overhead due to the…
Large Language Models (LLMs) have seen substantial progress, leading researchers to focus on developing Large Vision Language Models (LVLMs), which aim to unify visual and textual data processing. However, open-source LVLMs face challenges in offering versatility comparable to proprietary models like GPT-4, Gemini Pro, and Claude 3, primarily due to limited diverse training data and…
The power of Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) has shown great potential in furthering artificial general intelligence. These models are enhanced with visual abilities by harnessing vast amounts of vision-language data and aligning vision encoders. Despite this, most open-source LMMs are focused primarily on single-image scenarios, leaving complex multi-image scenarios mostly untouched. This oversight is significant…
Computer vision is a rapidly growing field that enables machines to interpret and understand visual data. This technology involves various tasks like image classification, object detection, and more, which require balancing local and global visual contexts for effective processing. Conventional models often struggle with this aspect; Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) manage local spatial relationships but…
Machine learning, especially deep neural networks (DNNs), plays a significant role in cutting-edge technology today, such as autonomous vehicles and smartphones. However, because of their nonlinear complexity and other factors like data noise and model configuration, they often draw criticism for their opacity. Despite developments in interpretability, understanding and optimizing DNN training processes continues to…
English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education emphasizes the need to develop the oral presentation skills of non-native learners for efficient communication. Traditional methods of teaching like workshops and digital tools have been somewhat effective but often lack personalized, real-time feedback, leaving a gap in the learning process. Acknowledging these limitations, researchers from the Korea…
Patronus AI has recently announced Lynx, an advanced hallucination detection model that promises to outperform others in the market such as GPT-4 and Claude-3-Sonnet. AI hallucination refers to cases where AI models create statements or information unsupported or contradictory to provided context. Lynx represents a significant enhancement in limiting such AI hallucinations, particularly crucial in…
Text-to-image generation models, such as DALLE-3 and Stable Diffusion, are increasingly being used to generate detailed and contextually accurate images from text prompts, thanks to advancements in AI technology. However, these models face challenges like misalignment, hallucination, bias, and the creation of unsafe or low-quality content. Misalignment refers to the discrepancy between the image produced…
Developing custom AI models can be time-consuming and costly due to the need for large, high-quality datasets. This is often done through paid API services or manual data collection and labeling, which can be expensive and time-consuming. Existing solutions such as using paid API services that generate data or hiring people to manually create datasets…
A team of researchers from MIT, Digital Garage, and Carnegie Mellon has developed GenSQL, a new probabilistic programming system that allows for querying generative models of database tables. The system extends SQL with additional functions to enable more complex Bayesian workflows, integrating both automatically learned and custom-designed probabilistic models with tabular data.
Probabilistic databases use algorithms…
Scientific discovery has vastly benefited from advancements in technology and artificial intelligence, and now Large Language Models (LLMs) offer the potential to revolutionize this process. Researchers from the Allen Institute for AI, OpenLocus, and the University of Massachusetts Amherst have probed this potential with their DISCOVERYBENCH tool.
Traditionally, scientific discovery has relied on manual processes…
