The field of large language models (LLMs), a subset of artificial intelligence that attempts to mimic human-like understanding and decision-making, is a focus for considerable research efforts. These systems need to be versatile and broadly intelligent, which means a complex development process that can avoid "hallucination", or the production of nonsensical outputs. Traditional training methods…
KAIST AI's introduction of the Odds Ratio Preference Optimization (ORPO) represents a novel approach in the field of pre-trained language models (PLMs), one that may revolutionize model alignment and set a new standard for ethical artificial intelligence (AI). In contrast to traditional methods, which heavily rely on supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and reinforcement learning with human…
The emergence of large language models (LLMs) is making significant advancements in machine learning, offering the ability to mimic human language which is critical for many modern technologies from content creation to digital assistants. A major obstacle to progress, however, has been the processing speed when generating textual responses. This is largely due to the…
The rapid increase in available scientific literature presents a challenging environment for researchers. Current Language Learning Models (LLMs) are proficient at extracting text-based information but struggle with important multimodal data, including charts and molecular structures, found in scientific texts. In response to this problem, researchers from DP Technology and AI for Science Institute, Beijing, have…
Large language models (LLMs) have emerged as powerful tools in artificial intelligence, providing improvements in areas such as conversational AI and complex analytical tasks. However, while these models have the capacity to sift through and apply extensive amounts of data, they also face significant challenges, particularly in the field of 'knowledge conflicts'.
Knowledge conflicts occur when…
The software development sector is set to undergo a significant transformation led by artificial intelligence (AI), with AI agents performing a diverse range of development tasks.

Large language models (LLMs) have made significant strides in the field of artificial intelligence, paving the way for machines that understand and generate human-like text. However, these models face the inherent challenge of their knowledge being fixed at the point of their training, limiting their adaptability and ability to incorporate new information post-training. This proves…
Large Vision Language Models (LVLMs) have been successful in text and image comprehension tasks, including Referring Expression Comprehension (REC). Notably, models like Griffon have made significant progress in areas such as object detection, denoting a key improvement in perception within LVLMs. Unfortunately, known challenges with LVLMs include their inability to match task-specific experts in intricate…
Artificial intelligence (AI) researchers from Stanford University and Notbad AI Inc are striving to improve language models' AI capabilities in interpreting and generating nuanced, human-like text. Their project, called Quiet Self-Taught Reasoner (Quiet-STaR), embeds reasoning capabilities directly into language models. Unlike previous methods, which focused on training models using specific datasets for particular tasks, Quiet-STaR…
A new study by Google is aiming to teach powerful large language models (LLMs) how to reason better with graph information. In computer science, the term 'graph' refers to the connections between entities - with nodes being the objects and edges being the links that signify their relationships. This type of information, which is inherent…
Artificial intelligence company xAI has made a significant contribution to the democratization and progress of AI technology by launching Grok-1, an artificial intelligence supermodel known as a 'Mixture-of-Experts' (MoE). This computer model, which has an astounding 314 billion parameters, represents one of the largest language models ever constructed.
The architecture of Grok-1 is designed to compile…
