Artificial intelligence (AI) has advanced dramatically in recent years, opening up numerous new possibilities. However, these developments also carry significant risks, notably in relation to cybersecurity, privacy, and human autonomy. These are not purely theoretical fears, but are becoming increasingly dependant on AI systems' growing sophistication.
Assessing the risks associated with AI involves evaluating performance across…
Software development can be complex and time-consuming, especially when handling intricate coding tasks which require developers to understand high-level instructions, complete exhaustive research, and write code to meet specific objectives. While solutions such as AI-powered code generation tools and project management platforms provide some way of simplifying this process, they often lack the advanced features…
The exponential advancement of Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) has triggered a transformation in numerous domains. Models like ChatGPT- that are predominantly constructed on Transformer networks billow with potential but are hindered by quadratic computational complexity which affects their efficiency. On the other hand, Language-Only Models (LLMs) lack adaptability due to their sole dependence on…

Named DocOwl 1.5, this innovative model uses Unified Structure Learning to enhance the efficiency of MLLMs across five distinct domains: document, webpage, table, chart,…
"Text mining" refers to the discovery of new patterns and insights within large amounts of textual data. Two essential activities in text mining are the creation of a taxonomy - a collection of structured, canonical labels that characterize features of a corpus - and text classification, which assigns labels to instances within the corpus according…
HuggingFace researchers have developed a new tool called Quanto to streamline the deployment of deep learning models on devices with limited resources, such as mobile phones and embedded systems. The tool addresses the challenge of optimizing these models by reducing their computational and memory footprints. It achieves this by using low-precision data types, such as…
The capabilities of computer vision studies have been vastly expanded due to deep features, which can unlock image semantics and facilitate diverse tasks, even using minimal data. Techniques to extract features from a range of data types – for example, images, text, and audio – have been developed and underpin a number of applications in…
Large language models like GPT-4, while powerful, often struggle with basic visual perception tasks such as counting objects in an image. This can be due to the way these models process high-resolution images. Current AI systems can mainly perceive images at a fixed low resolution, leading to distortion, blurriness, and loss of detail when the…
