With an increase in the adoption of pre-trained language models in recent years, the use of neural-based retrieval models has been on the rise. One of these models is Dense Retrieval (DR), known for its effectiveness and impressive ranking performance on several benchmarks. In particular, Multi-Vector Dense Retrieval (MVDR) employs multiple vectors to describe documents…
Google researchers have developed a new streaming dense video captioning model which aims to improve on previous methods by enabling localized identification of events within a video and real-time generation of appropriate captions for them. Existing practices are hindered by limited frame processing, causing incomplete or inadequate video descriptions.
The existing dense video captioning models have…
In a world full of investment opportunities, choosing the right one requires having access to accurate financial data and understanding complex financial metrics. Both seasoned and new investors face challenges in obtaining this information and staying up-to-date with the latest financial news. While there are a plethora of tools and services designed to provide this…
Researchers at MIT and the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab have developed a system that teaches users when to trust AI and when to ignore it, and it has already led to an approximately 5% increase in accuracy during image prediction tasks. The researchers designed a customised onboarding process, which is when the user is familiarized…
A group of scholars from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has outlined a governance framework for artificial intelligence (AI). The initiative aims to educate U.S. lawmakers on the implementation of AI regulations that can enhance their leadership in the field, minimize any potential harm, and promote beneficial practices. The main policy paper, titled "A…
Over 2,000 years ago, Euclid, a Greek mathematician often referred to as the father of geometry, fundamentally transformed our understanding of shapes. Today, Justin Solomon, a professor at MIT's Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and a member of the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), employs contemporary geometric approaches to tackle complex…
Photolithography, the process of using light to precisely etch designs onto a surface, is a primary method for creating computer chips and optical devices. However, it's common for slight deviations during manufacturing to cause the final product to diverge from the intended design. To bridge this gap, researchers from MIT and the Chinese University of…
A new study from MIT suggests that computational models rooted in machine learning are moving closer to simulating the structure and function of the human auditory system. Such technology could improve the development of hearing aids, cochlear implants, and brain-machine interfaces. The study analyzed deep neural networks trained for auditory tasks, finding similarities with the…
The concept of cascades in large language models (LLMs) has gained popularity for its high task efficiency while reducing data inference. However, potential privacy issues can arise in managing sensitive user information due to interactivity between local and remote models. Conventional cascade systems lack privacy-protecting mechanisms, causing sensitive data to be unintentionally transferred to the…
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a rapidly advancing field that often requires hefty investments, predominantly accessible to tech giants like OpenAI and Meta. However, an exciting breakthrough presents an exception to this norm—turning the tide in favor of democratizing AI development. Researchers from MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) and Myshell AI have demonstrated…
