Language Agents are a revolutionary development in computational linguistics, which utilize large language models (LLMs) to engage with and process information from the external environment. By employing innovative tools and APIs, these agents can independently acquire and incorporate new knowledge, exhibiting substantial advancement in complex reasoning tasks. A key challenge for Language Agents is dealing with…

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has discreetly visited South Korea, meeting high-profile executives from Samsung Electronics and SK Group. The goal behind the visit? To move closer to his goal of bringing AI chip production in-house by raising billions of dollars for creating a chip fabrication plant network. The pivot comes as a response to Nvidia’s…

OpenAI's chatbot, ChatGPT, has seen an incredible increase in users since its launch in November 2022. In just five days, one million people were using it and by January the following year, it had a hundred million active users- a 9900% rise! This skyrocketed to 173 million users by April 2023 and 1.5 billion monthly…

Elon Musk stated in a recent announcement that the first human has successfully received a Neuralink brain implant. The news comes after the FDA granted approval last year for human trials of the brain-machine implants. The implant, called Telepathy, has the potential to let the user control external devices like phones or computers by merely…

Textual data processing plays a critical role in natural language processing (NLP), particularly with regards to Language and Literature Models’ (LLM) functionality as generic interfaces. These interfaces interpret examples and system instructions articulated in natural language, which can encompass a range of prompts like task instructions and system prompts. Furthermore, an array of methodologies can…

Researchers from the College of Computer Science at Sichuan University and the Engineering Research Center of Machine Learning and Industry Intelligence in Chengdu, China have developed a method for quickly adapting dense retrieval models, known as DREditor. These models are crucial for industries such as enterprise search (ES), where service providers use personalized search engines…

Presently, multi-modal language models (LMs) face challenges in executing sophisticated visual reasoning tasks. Such tasks require a mix of deep object motion and interaction analysis, and higher-order causal and compositional spatiotemporal reasoning. The capabilities of these models need further examination, especially when it comes to tasks requiring detailed attention to refined details while also applying…

Artificial Intelligence (AI), specifically deep learning, has transformed numerous fields, including medical imaging and chest X-ray (CXR) interpretation. CXRs are essential diagnostic tools, and the development of vision-language foundation models (FMs) has allowed for automated interpretation, revolutionizing clinical decision-making. However, developing efficient FMs for CXR interpretation is challenging due to the scarcity of large-scale vision-language datasets,…

Researchers from Peking University, Pika, and Stanford University have devised a novel text-to-image generation framework called RPG (Recaption, Plan, and Generate). RPG efficiently converts text prompts into images, with a specific focus on complex prompts that involve rendering multiple objects with various attributes and relationships. RPG is an evolution over previous models as it outperforms…

The development of technology in the field of speech recognition has seen continual advancements, yet factors like latency time delays in processing spoken language - have often presented hurdles. Such latency is particularly noticeable in autoregressive models, which process speech in a sequence, causing delays. These delays are problematic for real-time applications such as live…

Microsoft is predicted to record its strongest quarterly growth in nearly two years, with anticipated revenue increase of 15.8%. The company has swiftly adopted generative AI by forming an alliance with industry leader OpenAI, propelling Microsoft to lead the market with a whopping $3 trillion valuation. This surpasses Apple as the most valuable company. Microsoft has…
