Scientists from MIT and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have developed a way to increase the accuracy of large-scale climate models, allowing for more precise predictions of extreme weather incidents in specific locations. Their process involves using machine learning in tandem with existing climate models to make the models' predictions closer to real-world observations. This…
The creator economy refers to the class of businesses built by individuals who create digital content, products, services, and even communities within online spaces. This may include online influencers, bloggers, podcasters, video creators, and others who have been able to turn their passion, creativity, and influence into potentially lucrative ventures. Numerous studies underline the immense…
The TikTok platform has recently been abuzz with a viral song created by Megan Boni. Operating under the handle (@girl_on_couch), she has managed to attract widespread attention, notably from multiple brands and a large segment of the online community, with her song. The song is a fanciful and amusing representation of an “ideal” romantic partner,…
In the field of artificial intelligence (AI) research, language model evaluation is a vital area of focus. This involves assessing the capabilities and performance of models on various tasks, helping to identify their strengths and weaknesses in order to guide future developments and enhancements. A key challenge in this area, however, is the lack of…
In the modern data-driven economy, data generation is at an unprecedented level. Handling and investigating this data effectively poses a significant challenge due to its sheer volume and potential for insights. Data analysis and optimization can now benefit all business aspects, whether they are minor or major, ranging from marketing initiatives to general operations and…
Autoregressive image generation models have traditionally been built using vector-quantized representations. However, these models have exhibited drawbacks, particularly related to their limited flexibility and computational intensity that often result in suboptimal image reconstruction. The vector quantization process involves the conversion of continuous image data into discrete tokens, which can also give rise to loss of…
Open-Sora, a cutting-edge initiative by HPC AI Tech, intends to democratize the process of efficient video production. By espousing the principles of open-source, the project aims to make the sophisticated methods of video generation available to all, thereby promoting innovation, creativity, and inclusivity in the field of content creation.
The first version, Open-Sora 1.0, established the…
Microsoft research team has made significant strides in introducing Florence-2, a sophisticated computer vision model. The adoption of pretrained and adaptable systems in artificial general intelligence (AGI) is increasingly becoming popular. These systems, characterized by their task-agnostic capabilities, are used in diverse applications.
Natural language processing (NLP), with its ability to learn new tasks and…
Machine learning (ML) algorithms have increasingly found use in ecological modelling, including the prediction of Soil Organic Carbon (SOC), a critical component for soil health. However, their application in smaller datasets characteristic of long-term soil research still needs further exploration, notably in comparison with traditional process-based models. A study conducted in Austria compared the performance…
Artificial intelligence (AI) models today have become increasingly complex with billions of parameters. Existing AI models are largely inaccessible to many due to a lack of widespread knowledge of how to create and control them. MosaicML, a company co-founded by Jonathan Frankle PhD '23 and MIT Associate Professor Michael Carbin, strives to overcome this issue.…
Amazon SageMaker JumpStart is a machine learning (ML) platform that offers pre-built solutions and pre-trained models. The platform provides access to hundreds of foundation models (FMs) for various enterprise operations. A critical feature of SageMaker JumpStart is the private hub, which allows an organization to share their models, thereby facilitating the discovery and widespread use…
