Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) has revealed that language models without image experience still understand the visual world. The team found that even without seeing images, language models could write image-rendering code that could generate detailed and complicated scenes. The knowledge that enabled this process came from the vast…
Looking for a job can feel like a soul-crushing endeavor, but AI technology could assist in making it just a bit more bearable. OpenAI's language model, ChatGPT - can be used to write your cover letters, though it's not as simple as “write my cover letter”. There’s an art to it that you have to…
In June 2024, AI organization Databricks made three major announcements, capturing attention in the data science and engineering sectors. The company introduced advancements set to streamline user experience, improve data management, and facilitate data engineering workflows.
The first significant development is the new generation of Databricks Notebooks. With its focus on data-focused authoring, the Notebook…
Topological Deep Learning (TDL) has advanced beyond traditional Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) by modeling complex multi-way relationships, which is imperative for understanding complex systems like social networks and protein interactions. A key subset of TDL, known as Topological Neural Networks (TNNs), are proficient at handling higher-order relational data and have demonstrated superior performance in various…
Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed an image dataset to simulate peripheral vision in artificial intelligence (AI) models. This step is aimed at helping such models detect approaching dangers more effectively, or predict whether a human driver would take note of an incoming object.
Peripheral vision in humans allows us to see…
The recent misuse of audio deepfakes, including a robocall purporting to be Joe Biden in New Hampshire and spear-phishing campaigns, has prompted questions about the ethical considerations and potential benefits of this emerging technology. Nauman Dawalatabad, a postdoctoral researcher, discussed these concerns in a Q&A prepared for MIT News.
According to Dawalatabad, the attempt to obscure…
Artificial intelligence (AI) with large language models (LLMs) have made major strides in several sophisticated applications, yet struggle with tasks that require complex, multi-step reasoning such as solving mathematical problems. Improving their reasoning abilities is vital for improving their efficiency on such tasks. LLMs often fail when dealing with tasks requiring logical steps and intermediate-step…
Robotic manipulation policies are currently limited by their inability to extrapolate beyond their training data. While these policies can adapt to new situations, such as different object positions or lighting, they struggle with unfamiliar objects or tasks, and require assistance to process unseen instructions.
Promisingly, vision and language foundation models, like CLIP, SigLIP, and Llama…
