Open-source software forms the backbone of many technologies used daily by individuals globally and brings together a community of developers. However, maintaining these projects can be time-consuming due to repetitive tasks such as bug triage and code reviews. Google is looking to alleviate these repetitive tasks and reduce the manual effort involved in maintaining open-source…
Researchers have been refocusing the abilities of Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs), typically passive technological entities, to participate more proactively in interactions. Large Vision-Language Models are crucial for tasks needing visual understanding and language processing. However, they often provide heavily detailed and confident responses, even when they face unclear or invalid questions, leading to potentially biased…
In the domain of large language models (LLMs), text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis presents a unique challenge, and researchers are exploring their potential for audio synthesis. Historically, systems have used various methodologies, from reassembling audio segments to using acoustic parameters, and more recently, generating mel-spectrograms directly from text. However, these methods face limitations like lower fidelity and…
Mistral AI has unveiled the new Mathstral model, an innovation designed specifically for mathematical reasoning and scientific discovery. The model, named Mathstral as an homage to Archimedes on the occasion of his 2311th anniversary, comprises a vast 7 billion parameters and a 32,000-token context window, and is made available under the Apache 2.0 license.
The Mathstral…
Spreadsheet analysis is crucial for managing and interpreting data in the extensive two-dimensional grids used in tools like MS Excel and Google Sheets. However, the large, complex grids often exceed the token limits of large language models (LLMs), making it difficult to process and extract meaningful information. Traditional methods struggle with the size and complexity…
For AI research, efficiently managing long contextual inputs in Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) models is a central challenge. Current techniques such as context compression have certain limitations, particularly in how they handle multiple context documents, which is a pressing issue for many real-world scenarios.
Addressing this challenge effectively, researchers from the University of Amsterdam, The University of…
Large language models (LLMs) have shown promise in solving planning problems, but their success has been limited, particularly in the process of translating natural language planning descriptions into structured planning languages such as the Planning Domain Definition Language (PDDL). Current models, including GPT-4, have achieved only 35% accuracy on simple planning tasks, emphasizing the need…
Artificial intelligence (AI) continues to shape and influence a multitude of sectors with its profound capabilities. Especially in video game creation, AI has shown significant strides by admirably handling complex procedures that generally need human intervention. One of the latest breakthroughs in this domain is the development of “GAVEL,” an automated system that leverages large…
Human-computer interaction (HCI) greatly enhances the communication between individuals and computers across various dimensions including social dialogue, writing assistance, and multimodal interactions. However, issues surrounding continuity and personalization during long-term interactions remain. Many existing systems require tracking user-specific details and preferences over longer periods, leading to discontinuity and insufficient personalization.
In response to these challenges,…
