Large language models utilize a surprisingly straightforward method to access some stored information.

Large language models (LLMs), such as those which power AI chatbots like ChatGPT, are highly complex. While these powerful tools are used in diverse applications like customer support, code generation, and language translation, they remain somewhat of a mystery to the scientists who work with them. To develop a deeper understanding of their inner workings,…

Large language models utilize an unexpectedly uncomplicated method to recall certain stored information.

Large language models (LLMs) that power artificial intelligence chatbots like ChatGPT are extremely complex and their functioning isn't fully understood. These LLMs are used in a variety of areas such as customer support, code generation and language translation. However, researchers from MIT and other institutions have made strides in understanding how these models retrieve stored…

Comprehending the visual comprehension of language models.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) has revealed that language models without image experience still understand the visual world. The team found that even without seeing images, language models could write image-rendering code that could generate detailed and complicated scenes. The knowledge that enabled this process came from the vast…

Scientists improve the peripheral vision capabilities in AI models.

Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed an image dataset to simulate peripheral vision in artificial intelligence (AI) models. This step is aimed at helping such models detect approaching dangers more effectively, or predict whether a human driver would take note of an incoming object. Peripheral vision in humans allows us to see…

Three inquiries: Understanding the essentials about audio deepfakes.

The recent misuse of audio deepfakes, including a robocall purporting to be Joe Biden in New Hampshire and spear-phishing campaigns, has prompted questions about the ethical considerations and potential benefits of this emerging technology. Nauman Dawalatabad, a postdoctoral researcher, discussed these concerns in a Q&A prepared for MIT News. According to Dawalatabad, the attempt to obscure…

Improving software testing through the application of generative artificial intelligence.

Generative AI, renowned for its capability to autonomously produce text and images, plays a crucial role in creating realistic synthetic data from diverse scenarios, helping organizations optimize operations. A notable initiative in the field is the Synthetic Data Vault (SDV), developed by DataCebo, an MIT spinoff. This generative system aids organizations in creating synthetic data…
