A team of researchers, including those from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), have created a system called StreamingLLM that allows chatbots to maintain ongoing dialogues without suffering from performance issues. The method involves a reconfiguration of the model's key-value cache—a form of memory storage—that commonly leads to models failing when the cache is overloaded…
MIT researchers have developed an antitampering cryptographic ID tag that offers improved security, lower cost and a much smaller size than traditional radio frequency tags. The previous generation of terahertz tags, like radio frequency identifiers (RFIDs), were vulnerable to tampering, as fraudsters could move the tags from genuine to counterfeit goods without the authentication system…
Researchers from MIT and other institutions have proposed a solution to the challenge of AI systems losing the context of conversation in extended dialogues. Large language models such as ChatGPT, which enable the functioning of chatbots, often struggle to retain information from long conversations, resulting in rapid performance deterioration.
The team has developed a method…
Researchers at MIT have developed a new cryptographic ID tag that is cheaper, smaller, and more secure than traditional radio frequency tags (RFIDs). Initially, the researchers developed a tiny tag using terahertz waves, which offered improved security over RFIDs. However, this tag shared a vulnerability with RFID tags: a counterfeiter could peel off the tag…
A group of researchers from MIT and other institutions have pinpointed a key issue that causes performance degradation in AI chatbots during long conversations and have developed a simple solution to rectify it. Large language machine-learning models such as the ChatGPT use key-value cache to store data. However, when the cache needs to hold more…
Researchers at MIT have developed a highly advanced anti-tampering ID tag that is significantly smaller and cheaper than traditional Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags. It leverages the power of terahertz waves to improve upon conventional security tools and offers an innovative solution to safeguard items from counterfeit.
Traditional security tags, much like this one, use radio…
Researchers from MIT and other institutions have devised an innovative solution to prevent chatbots from crashing during prolonged dialogues. The method, known as StreamingLLM, makes a simple adjustment to the key-value cache, essentially the 'conversation memory,' of well-developed machine-learning models. By ensuring the first few data points don't get bumped out, the chatbot can maintain…
Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a microchip identification tag that works with terahertz waves to offer a more secure verification method than traditional radio frequency identification (RFID) tags. Terahertz waves are smaller in wavelength, yet much higher in frequency than radio waves, which make the tag more difficult to clone…
A team of researchers from MIT and other institutions has developed a method to stop the performance deterioration in AI language models involved in continuous dialogue, like the AI chatbot, ChatGPT. Named StreamingLLM, the solution revolves around a modification in the machine’s key-value cache, acting as a conversation memory. Conventionally, when the cache overflows, the…
MIT researchers have developed a small, affordable, and secure cryptographic ID tag that improves upon traditional radio frequency identification (RFID) tags by using terahertz waves, which are smaller and have higher frequencies than radio waves. Traditional RFIDs are often attacked by counterfeiters who take them off genuine items and reattach to a fake one; the…
Researchers from MIT have devised a method called StreamingLLM which enables chatbots to maintain long, uninterrupted dialogues without crashing or performance dips. It involves a modification to the key-value cache at the core of many large language models which serves as a conversation memory, ensuring the initial data points remain present. The method facilitates a…
In a bid to tackle the problem of item counterfeiting, researchers at MIT have taken a significant step forward in developing a microscopic, cheap and secure cryptographic ID tag. This tiny tag, which uses terahertz waves and is notably smaller, less expensive, and safer than conventional radio frequency tags (RFIDs), was initially found to have…
