Artificial intelligence (AI) has been aiding developers with code generation, yet the output often requires substantial debugging and refining, resulting in a time-consuming process. Traditional tools like Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) and automated testing frameworks partially alleviate these challenges, but still demand extensive manual effort for tweaking and perfecting the generated code.
Micro Agent is a…
While at MIT Media Lab in 2010, Karthik Dinakar and Birago Jones developed a machine learning tool destined to help content moderation teams at tech companies like Twitter and YouTube. The project excited many, leading to a demonstration at a White House cyberbullying summit. However, the system tripped over unconventional wording in teenage vernacular, revealing…
MIT researchers have developed a deep-learning model to improve the efficiency of warehouse robots. The team used a neural network architecture to encode features including the robots' paths, tasks, and obstacles in the warehouse. This enabled the model to predict where congestion was most likely to occur and take measures to counteract it.
The groundbreaking method…
Dataset distillation is a novel method that seeks to address the challenges posed by progressively larger datasets in machine learning. This method creates a compressed, synthetic dataset, aiming to represent the essential features of the larger dataset. The goal is to enable efficient and effective model training. However, how these condensed datasets retain their functionality…
Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT-4, PaLM, and LLaMA have shown impressive performance in reasoning tasks through various effective prompting methods and increased model size. The performance enhancement techniques are generally categorized into two types: single-query systems and multi-query systems. However, both these systems come with limitations, the most notable being inefficiencies in the designing…
Natural Language Processing (NLP) faces major challenges in addressing the limitations of decoder-only Transformers, which are the backbone of large language models (LLMs). These models contend with issues like representational collapse and over-squashing, which severely hinder their functionality. Representational collapse happens when different sequences produce nearly the same results, while over-squashing occurs when the model…
In 2010, while studying at MIT Media Lab, Karthik Dinakar and Birago Jones developed a tool to assist in content moderation for social media platforms like Twitter and YouTube. The project, aimed at identifying concerning posts and potential cyberbullying, sparked enough interest to receive an invitation to a cyberbullying summit at the White House. However,…
MIT researchers have designed an artificial intelligence solution to help robotic warehouses operate more efficiently. Automated warehouses, which employ hundreds of robots to pick and deliver goods, are becoming more commonplace, especially in industries such as e-commerce and automotive production. However, coordinating this robot workforce to avoid collisions, while also maintaining a high operational pace,…
This paper delves into the realm of uncertainty quantification in large language models (LLMs), aiming to pinpoint scenarios where uncertainty in responses to queries is significant. The study delves into both epistemic and aleatoric uncertainties. Epistemic uncertainty arises from inadequate knowledge or data about reality, while aleatoric uncertainty originates from inherent randomness in prediction problems.…
Machine learning (ML) has been instrumental in advancing healthcare, especially in the realm of medical imaging. However, current models often fall short in explaining how visual changes impact ML decisions, creating a need for transparent models that not only classify medical imagery accurately but also elucidate the signals and patterns they learn. Google's new framework,…
