Machine Learning (ML) models are increasingly becoming an integral part of various sectors globally, with their extensive applications and growing reliance on their capabilities. As these models grow in complexity, understanding and interpreting them becomes more challenging. Visualizing how data flows through the model and how the different parts interact is crucial to debug and…
The world of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning continues to evolve at a rapid pace, with OpenAI leading the charge. Their latest development is the introduction of GPT-4o, an optimized version of the widely used GPT-4, part of the Generative Pre-trained Transformer model series renowned for its natural language processing capabilities.
GPT-4 boasts enhanced contextual…
The world of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has taken another step forward with the introduction of the recent Yi-1.5-34B model by 01.AI. This model is considered a significant upgrade over prior versions, providing a bridge between the capabilities of the Llama 3 8B and the 70B models.
The distinguishing features of the Yi-1.5-34B include improvements in multimodal…
Large language models (LLMs) have been successful in areas like natural language tasks and following instructions, yet they have limitations when dealing with non-textual data such as images and audio. But presently, an approach integrating textual LLMs with speech encoders in one training setup could revolutionize this. One option is multimodal audio-language models, proving advantageous…
The standard method for aligning Language Learning Models (LLMs) is known as RLHF, or Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback. However, new developments in offline alignment methods - such as Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) - challenge RLHF's reliance on on-policy sampling. Unlike online methods, offline algorithms use existing datasets, making them simpler, cheaper, and often more…
Recent multimodal foundation models are often limited in their ability to fuse various modalities, as they typically utilize distinct encoders or decoders for each modality. This structure limits their capability to effectively integrate varied content types and create multimodal documents with interwoven sequences of images and text.
Meta researchers, in response to this limitation, have…
Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems have demonstrated a fascinating trend of converging data representations across different architectures, training objectives, and modalities. Researchers propose the "Platonic Representation Hypothesis" to explain this phenomenon. Essentially, this hypothesizes that various AI models are striving to capture a unified representation of the underlying reality that forms the basis for observable data.…
Artificial intelligence is extensively utilized in today's world by both businesses and individuals, with a particular reliance on large language models (LLMs). Despite their broad range of applications, LLMs have certain limitations that restrict their effectiveness. Key among these limitations is their inability to retain long-term conversations, which hampers their capacity to deliver consistent and…
