In 2010, Karthik Dinakar and Birago Jones began a project to develop a tool helping content moderation teams at companies like Twitter and YouTube. The aim was to assist these teams in identifying inappropriate or harmful content. The project created considerable interest and the researchers were invited to present their work at a cyberbullying summit…
Google Cloud AI researchers have unveiled a novel pre-training framework called LANISTR, designed to effectively and efficiently manage both structured and unstructured data. LANISTR, which stands for Language, Image, and Structured Data Transformer, addresses a key issue in machine learning; the handling of multimodal data, such as language, images, and structured data, specifically when certain…

1. "Foundations…
Anomaly detection in time series data, which is pivotal for practical applications like monitoring industrial systems and detecting fraudulent activities, has been facing challenges in terms of its metrics. Existing measures such as Precision and Recall, designed for independent and identically distributed (iid) data, fail to entirely capture anomalies, potentially leading to flawed evaluations in…
Anthropic AI's Claude family of models signifies a massive milestone in anomaly detection AI technology. The release of the Claude 3 series has seen a significant expansion in the models' abilities and performance, making them suitable for a broad spectrum of applications that span from text generation to high-level vision processing. This article aims to…
A group of researchers from MIT and other institutions have pinpointed a key issue that causes performance degradation in AI chatbots during long conversations and have developed a simple solution to rectify it. Large language machine-learning models such as the ChatGPT use key-value cache to store data. However, when the cache needs to hold more…
Researchers at MIT have developed a highly advanced anti-tampering ID tag that is significantly smaller and cheaper than traditional Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags. It leverages the power of terahertz waves to improve upon conventional security tools and offers an innovative solution to safeguard items from counterfeit.
Traditional security tags, much like this one, use radio…
Researchers from MIT, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and Duke University have developed a research approach to identify how different drugs exit the digestive tract. The method uses tissue models and machine-learning algorithms to understand which transporters are used by drugs, revealing how a commonly prescribed antibiotic and blood thinners can interfere with each other. Transporter…
In 2010, Karthik Dinakar and Birago Jones, while working on a class project at Media Lab, developed a tool targeting content moderation for social media. The project, aimed at identifying harmful posts on platforms such as Twitter and YouTube, landed them a presentation at a White House cyberbullying summit. They realized before the event, however,…
Large language models (LLMs) are renowned for their ability to perform specific tasks due to the principle of fine-tuning their parameters. Full Fine-Tuning (FFT) involves updating all parameters, while Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT) techniques such as Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) update only a small subset, thus reducing memory requirements. LoRA operates by utilizing low-rank matrices, enhancing performance…
The field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) has seen a significant advancement thanks to Large Language Models (LLMs) that are capable of understanding and generating human-like text. This technological progression has revolutionized applications such as machine translation and complex reasoning tasks, and sparked new research and development opportunities.
However, a notable challenge has been the…
Language models are integral to the study of natural language processing (NLP), a field that aims to generate and understand human language. Applications such as machine translation, text summarization, and conversational agents rely heavily on these models. However, effectively assessing these approaches remains a challenge in the NLP community due to their sensitivity to differing…
