A multimedia artist, Jackson 2bears, has created "Ne:Kahwistará:ken Kanónhsa'kówa í:se Onkwehonwe," a vivid virtual retelling of the Haudenosaunee creation story. The project, which was inspired by the traditional Haudenosaunee structure, the longhouse, was a collaborative effort designed to keep indigenous teachings and stories alive, central to which was the importance of communal experiences. The installation…
A new technique has been proposed by researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and other institutions that allows large language models (LLMs) to solve tasks involving natural language, math and data analysis, and symbolic reasoning by generating programs. Known as natural language embedded programs (NLEPs), the approach enables a language model to create…
Artificial intelligence (AI) alignment strategies, such as Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) and Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback (RLHF) combined with supervised fine-tuning (SFT), are essential for the safety of Large Language Models (LLMs). They work to modify these AI models to reduce the chance of hazardous interactions. However, recent research has uncovered significant weaknesses in…
Generative AI, in the past few years, has gained significant popularity because of its capacity to develop realistic text and images. However, the created text and images form only a portion of the data generated today. Every interaction we have with a medical system, software application, or the effect of any environment, such as a…
In a unique twist, a picture taken in real life clinched a victory in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) category of a global photography contest. The shot, taken by writer and photographer Miles Astray on a beach in Aruba in 2022, showcases a flamingo coyly hiding its head behind its body. This photograph was submitted as…
University of Waterloo researchers have introduced GenAI-Arena, a user-centric evaluation platform for generative AI models, filling a critical gap in fair and efficient automatic assessment methods. Traditional metrics like FID, CLIP, FVD provide insights into visual content generation but may not sufficiently evaluate user satisfaction and aesthetic qualities of generated outputs. GenAI-Arena allows users not…
Large Generative Models (LGMs) such as GPT, Stable Diffusion, Sora, and Suno have significantly advanced content creation, improving the effectiveness of real-world applications. Unlike preceding models that trained on small, specialized datasets, LGMs gain their success from extensive training on broad, well-curated data from various sectors. This leads to a question: Can we create large…
