Overfitting is a prevalent problem when training large neural networks on limited data. It indicates a model's strong performance on the training data but its failure to perform comparably on unseen test data. This issue arises when the network’s feature detectors become overly specialized to the training data, building complex dependencies that do not apply…
The computer vision sector is currently dominated by large-scale models that offer remarkable performance but demand high computational resources, making them impractical for real-world applications. To address this, the Google Research Team has opted to reduce these models into smaller, more efficient architectures via model pruning and knowledge distillation. The team's focus is on knowledge…
The evolution of Large Language Models (LLMs) in artificial intelligence has spawned several sub-groups, including Multi-Modal LLMs, Open-Source LLMs, Domain-specific LLMs, LLM Agents, Smaller LLMs, and Non-Transformer LLMs.
Multi-Modal LLMs, such as OpenAI's Sora, Google's Gemini, and LLaVA, consolidate various types of input like images, videos, and text to perform more sophisticated tasks. OpenAI's Sora…
Generative AI jailbreaking is a technique that allows users to get artificial intelligence (AI) to create potentially harmful or unsafe content. Microsoft researchers recently discovered a new jailbreaking method they dubbed "Skeleton Key." This technique tricks AI into ignoring safety guidelines and Responsible AI (RAI) guardrails that help prevent it from producing offensive, illegal or…
Self-supervised learning (SSL) has broadened the application of speech technology by minimizing the requirement for labeled data. However, the current models only support approximately 100-150 of the over 7,000 languages in the world. This is primarily due to the lack of transcribed speech and the fact that only about half of these languages have formal…
Large language models (LLMs) are known for their ability to contain vast amounts of factual information, leading to their effective use in factual question-answering tasks. However, these models often create appropriate but incorrect responses due to issues related to retrieval and application of their stored knowledge. This undermines their dependability and hinders their wide adoption…
The integration of automation and artificial intelligence (AI) in fungi-based bioprocesses is becoming instrumental in achieving sustainability through a circular economy model. These processes take advantage of the metabolic versatility of filamentous fungi, allowing for conversion of organic substances into bioproducts. Automation replaces manual procedures enhancing efficiency, while AI improves decision making and control based…
Large Language Models (LLMs) have achieved considerable success in various tasks related to language understanding, reasoning, and generation. Currently, researchers are focusing on creating LLM-based autonomous agents for more diverse and complex real-world applications. However, many situations in the real world pose challenges that cannot be overcome by a single agent. Hence, engineers are developing…
Generating synthetic data is becoming an essential part of machine learning as it allows researchers to create large datasets where real-world data is scarce or expensive to obtain. The created data often display specific characteristics that benefit machine learning models' learning processes, helping to improve performance across various applications. However, the usage of synthetic data…
AI agents, systems designed to autonomously perceive their environment, make decisions, and act to achieve specific goals, have become increasingly important in the world of artificial intelligence applications. These agents function through three primary components: Conversation, Chain, and Agent, each playing a critical role.
The Conversation component refers to the interaction mechanism for AI agents, allowing…
Artificial Intelligence (AI) agents are now a significant component of AI applications. AI agents are systems designed to understand their environments, make decisions, and act autonomously to achieve specific goals. Understanding how AI agents work involves exploring their three main components: Conversation, Chain, and Agent.
Conversation, the interaction mechanism, is the portal through which AI agents…
The development and deployment of large language models (LLMs) play a crucial role in natural language processing (NLP), but these models pose significant challenges due to their high computational cost and extensive memory requirement. This makes the training process laborious and inefficient and could inhibit broader application and research. As a result, developing efficient methods…
