Artificial Intelligence

Researchers from ETH Zurich have revealed new understandings of compositional learning in artificial intelligence through using modular hypernetworks.

From a young age, humans showcase an impressive ability to merge their knowledge and skills in novel ways to construct solutions to problems. This principle of compositional reasoning is a critical aspect of human intelligence that allows our brains to create complex representations from simpler parts. Unfortunately, AI systems have struggled to replicate this capability…

Over 25 companies, all members of Y Combinator, have developed their own AI models instead of resorting to other’s pre-developed frameworks via an API operating as a black box.

Y Combinator, a well-known startup accelerator, has demonstrated a notable shift in the AI landscape by showcasing over 25 startups that have built their own AI models. This contradicts the common perception that only large companies with significant resources can afford to develop AI technology. Instead, these startups, supported by Y Combinator's strategic advantages such…

DRAGIN: An Innovative Machine Learning Infrastructure for Enhanced Dynamic Retrieval in Expansive Language Models Surpassing Traditional Techniques

The Dynamic Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) approach is designed to boost the performance of Large Language Models (LLMs) through determining when and what external information to retrieve during text generation. However, the current methods to decide when to recover data often rely on static rules and tend to limit retrieval to recent sentences or tokens,…

Google DeepMind scientists have introduced ‘Gecko’; a flexible, space-efficient embedding model enhanced by the immense global knowledge offered by Language Models.

Researchers from Google DeepMind have introduced Gecko, a groundbreaking text embedding model to transform text into a form that machines can comprehend and act upon. Gecko is unique in its use of large language models (LLMs) for knowledge distillation. As opposed to conventional models that depend on comprehensive labeled datasets, Gecko initiates its learning journey…

Anthropic Investigates Numerous Attempts at Jailbreaking: Revealing AI’s Latest Vulnerability

Large language models (LLMs), such as those developed by Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google DeepMind, are vulnerable to a new exploit termed "many-shot jailbreaking," according to recent research by Anthropic. Through many-shot jailbreaking, the AI models can be manipulated by feeding them numerous question-answer pairs depicting harmful responses, thus bypassing the models' safety training. This method manipulates…

An automated setup instructs users about the appropriate timing for cooperation with an AI assistant.

Researchers at MIT and the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab have developed a system that educates a user on when to trust an AI assistant's recommendations. During the onboarding process, the user practices collaborating with the AI using training exercises and receives feedback on their and the AI's performance. This system led to a 5% improvement…

MIT researchers investigating the influence and uses of generative AI have received the second installment of seed funding.

Last summer, MIT called upon the academic community to provide papers that suggest effective approaches and policy recommendations in the field of generative AI. Expectations were surpassed when 75 proposals were received. After reviewing these submissions, the institution funded 27 of the proposed projects. During the fall, the response to a second call for proposals…

Prolonged analysis of U.S. census data indicates that the majority of jobs are new roles.

New work in the U.S., or work in occupations that have largely emerged since 1940, constitute the majority of jobs, according to a comprehensive new study led by MIT economist David Autor. The research found that most of today's jobs require expertise that didn't exist or wasn't relevant in 1940. The study, which examined the period…

Does technology assist or harm job opportunities?

A study led by MIT economist, David Autor, reveals that technology has replaced more American jobs than it has created since 1940, and particularly since 1980. This is due to a rise in the rate of automation alongside a slower rate of augmentation over the past four decades. The researchers developed a new method to…
