Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown impressive competencies across various disciplines, from generating unique content and answering questions to summarizing large text chunks, completing codes, and translating languages. They are considered one of the most significant advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI). It is generally assumed that for LLMs to possess considerable mathematical abilities, they need…
In data science and artificial intelligence, the practice of embedding entities into vector spaces allows for numerical representation of various objects, such as words, users, and items. This method facilitates the measurement of similarities among entities, asserting that vectors closer in space are more similar. A favored metric for identifying similarities is cosine similarity, which…
The software development industry is continuously seeking advanced, scalable, and flexible tools to handle complex tasks such as reasoning, summarization, and multilingual question answering. Addressing these needs and challenges—including dealing with vast amounts of data, ensuring model performance across different languages, and offering a versatile interface—requires innovative solutions. To this end, large language models have…
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) and renal fibrosis are complex diseases that have challenged pharmaceutical development, as they lack efficient treatment methods. Current potential drug targets, such as TGF-β signaling pathways, have not led to viable therapies for actual use. As a result, IPF, characterized by fibroblast proliferation and extracellular matrix deposition, continues to be particularly…
A team of researchers from Peking University and Alibaba Group have introduced FastV, a model designed to mitigate the inefficiencies in computational processing within Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs). In particular, FastV addresses the bias exhibited by the attention mechanism in LVLMs, which tends to favour textual tokens over visual tokens. Existing models - including LLaVA-1.5…
Today's increasingly pervasive artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have given rise to concerns over the perpetuation of historically entrenched human biases, particularly within marginalized communities. New research by academics from the Allen Institute for AI, Stanford University, and the University of Chicago exposes a worrying form of bias rarely discussed before: Dialect Prejudice against speakers of…
Recent advancements in large language models (LLMs), which have revolutionized fields like healthcare, translation, and code generation, are now being leveraged to assist the legal domain. Legal professionals often grapple with extensive, complex documents, emphasizing the need for a dedicated LLM. To address this, researchers from several prestigious institutions—including Equall.ai, MICS, CentraleSupélec, and Université Paris-Saclay—have…
Vision-Language Models (VLMs) provide state-of-the-art performance across a spectrum of vision-language tasks, including captioning, object localization, commonsense reasoning, and vision-based coding, amongst others. Recent studies, such as one undertaken by Apple, showed that these models excel in extracting text from images and interpreting visual data, including tables and charts. However, when tested on complex tasks…
Artificial Intelligence (AI) researchers have developed an innovative framework to produce visually and audibly cohesive content. This advancement could help overcome previous difficulties in synchronizing video and audio generation. The framework uses pre-trained models like ImageBind, which links different data types into a unified semantic space. This function allows ImageBind to provide feedback on the…
The 01.AI research team has introduced the Yi model family of Artificial Intelligence (AI) designed to bridge the gap between human language and visual perception. Uniquely, this model doesn't simply parse text or images individually; it combines both, demonstrating an unprecedented degree of multi-modal understanding. This ground-breaking technology's purpose is to mirror and extend human…
The boundary between the visual world and the realm of natural language has become a crucial frontier in the fast-changing field of artificial intelligence. Vision-language models, which aim to unravel the complicated relationship between images and text, are important developments for various applications, including enhancing accessibility and providing automated assistance in diverse industries.
However, creating models…
