Document Understanding (DU) involves the automatic interpretation and processing of various forms of data including text, tables, charts, and images found in documents. It has a critical role in extracting and using the extensive amounts of information produced annually within the vast multitude of documents. However, a significant challenge lies in understanding long-context documents spanning…
Large Language Models (LLMs) and multi-modal counterparts (MLLMs), crucial in advancing artificial general intelligence (AGI), face issues while dealing with visual mathematical problems, especially where geometric figures and spatial relationships are involved. While advances have been made through techniques for vision-language integration and text-based mathematical problem-solving, progress in the multi-modal mathematical domain has been limited.

Snowflake has announced the release of its latest text embedding model, snowflake-arctic-embed-m-v1.5, which enhances embedding vector compressibility and retains substantial quality even when compressed to as little as 128 bytes per vector. This breakthrough is achieved by employing Matryoshka Representation Learning (MRL) and uniform scalar quantization methods. The applicability is ideal for tasks requiring effective…
Researchers from the University of Maryland, Tsinghua University, University of California, Shanghai Qi Zhi Institute, and Shanghai AI Lab have developed a novel methodology named Make-An-Agent for generating policies using conditional diffusion models. This method looks to improve upon traditional policy learning that uses sampled trajectories from a replay buffer or behavior demonstrations to learn…
Deepset and Mixedbread have taken an innovative leap by introducing a revolutionary open-source German/English embedding model called deepset-mxbai-embed-de-large-v1. The tool aims to correct the imbalance in the AI landscape, where English-speaking markets dominate. Based on the intfloat/multilingual-e5-large model, it is fine-tuned using over 30 million pairs of German data to enhance natural language processing (NLP)…
Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT are transforming educational practices by providing new ways of learning and teaching. These advanced models generate text similar to humans, reshaping the interaction between educators, students, and information. However, despite enhancing learning efficiency and creativity, LLMs bring up ethical issues related to trust and an overdependence on technology.

Serra is an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered candidate search engine designed to ease the recruitment process. It enables recruiters…
Assessing the effectiveness of Large Language Model (LLM) compression techniques is a vital challenge in AI. Traditional compression methods like quantization look to optimize LLM efficiency by reducing computational overhead and latency. But, the conventional accuracy metrics used in evaluations often overlook subtle changes in model behavior, including the occurrence of "flips" where right answers…
Large language models (LLMs) can revolutionize human-computer interaction but struggle with complex reasoning tasks, a situation prompting the need for a more streamlined and powerful approach. Current LLM-based agents perform well in straightforward scenarios but struggle with complex situations, emphasizing the need for improving these agents to tackle an array of intricate problems.
