Artificial Intelligence

Comprehending the visual comprehension of language models.

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…

Scientists improve the peripheral vision capabilities in AI models.

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…

Three inquiries: Understanding the essentials about audio deepfakes.

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…

Researchers at Google DeepMind have suggested a new and unique approach to Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) Algorithm called ‘OmegaPRM’. This innovative method, which utilizes a divide-and-conquer style, aims at effectively gathering superior quality data for process monitoring.

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…

OpenVLA: An Open-Source VLA with 7 Billion Parameters, Redefining the Benchmark for Robotic Handling Strategies

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…
