Tabular data is commonly used in various sectors like industry, healthcare, and academia due to its simplicity and interpretability. Traditional and deep learning models that process this data type often require extensive preprocessing and significant computational resources which have been problematic. Researchers from the University of Kentucky have introduced MambaTab, a new method leveraging a…

Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) have allowed for significant progress in language processing and various other fields. Despite these advancements, LLMs have not been highly impactful in molecule optimization, a crucial component of drug discovery. Traditional methods focus on patterns in chemical structure data rather than incorporating expert feedback, resulting in gaps in…

Researchers from New York University (NYU) utilized children's learning processes to train artificial intelligence (AI). Published in the Science Journal, the method allows the AI system to learn from its surrounding environment instead of relying heavily on labeled data. The study was modeled after a child's learning process. To achieve this, researchers gathered a dataset…

Auto-regressive decoding is the gold standard in Large Language Models (LLMs), but the process can be quite time-consuming and costly. An approach called speculative sampling has emerged to resolve this, creating "drafts" of the LLMs efficiently and verifying them in parallel, significantly improving speed. However, the speed gains from speculative sampling often come at an accuracy…

The University of Chicago's recently introduced data poisoning tool, Nightshade, garnered over a quarter of a million downloads within five days from its launch on January 18, 2024. The tool aims to shield visual artists' work from unauthorized use by AI models by subtly tampering with image pixels, confusing the model without impairing the visual…

US legislators have introduced a bill called the Disrupt Explicit Forged Images and Non-Consensual Edits (DEFIANCE) Act in response to mounting issues of AI-pitched explicit images. For instance, Singer Taylor Swift was recently a victim of such scandalous AI-manufactured images. The progression stirred outraged reactions from the general public, swift's fans (who initiated a widespread social…
