Large classroom sizes in computing education are making it crucial to use automation for student success. Automated feedback generation tools are becoming increasingly popular for their ability to rapidly analyze and test. Among these, large language models (LLMs) like GPT-3 are showing promise. However, concerns about their accuracy, reliability, and ethical implications do exist.
Historically, the…
The evaluation of artificial intelligence (AI) systems, particularly large language models (LLMs), has come to the fore in recent artificial intelligence research. Existing benchmarks, such as the original Massive Multitask Language Understanding (MMLU) dataset, have been found to inadequately capture the true potential of AI systems, largely due to their focus on knowledge-based questions and…
The assessment of artificial intelligence (AI) models, particularly large language models (LLMs), is a field of rapid research evolution. There is a growing focus on creating more rigorous benchmarks to assess these models' abilities across various complex tasks. Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of different AI systems through this field is crucial as it helps…
Transformer models have ushered in a new era of Natural Language Processing (NLP), but their high memory and computational costs often pose significant challenges. This has fueled the search for more efficient alternatives that uphold the same performance standards but require fewer resources. While some research has been conducted on Linear Transformers, the RWKV model,…
Over the past year, artificial intelligence (AI) has experienced remarkable level of advancements and appeal, with its moral implications being widely discussed. However, there are several AI technologies in the filmmaking sector that offer unique capabilities beyond creating entertaining content. Here, we discuss some of these tools that help filmmakers streamline their workflow and save…
Artificial neural networks (ANNs) have remarkable capabilities when trained on natural data. Regardless of exact initialization, dataset, or training objective, neural networks trained on the same data domain tend to converge to similar patterns. For different image models, the initial layer weights typically converge to Gabor filters and color-contrast detectors, underlying a sort of "universal"…
Google has unveiled PaliGemma, a latest family of vision language models. These innovative models work by receiving both an image and text inputs, and generating text as output. The architecture of PaliGemma comprises of two components: an image encoder named SigLIP-So400m, and a text decoder dubbed Gemma-2B. SigLIP, which has the ability to understand both…
Google's latest innovation, a new family of vision language models called PaliGemma, is capable of producing text by receiving an image and a text input. Its architecture comprises the text decoder Gemma-2B and the image encoder SigLIP-So400m, which is also a model capable of understanding both text and visuals. On image-text data, the combined PaliGemma…
Artificial Intelligence (AI) relies on broad data sets sourced from numerous global internet resources to power algorithms that shape various aspects of our lives. However, there are challenges in maintaining data integrity and ethical standards, as the data often lacks proper documentation and vetting. The core issue is the absence of robust systems to guarantee…
Large models pre-training on time series data is a frequent challenge due to the absence of a comprehensive public time series repository, diverse time series characteristics, and emerging benchmarks for model testing. Despite this, time series analysis remains integral in various fields, including weather forecasting, heart rate irregularity detection, and anomaly identification in software deployments.…
