Microsoft is taking significant steps to more deeply incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) into the workplace. They have introduced an array of new plugins, collectively known as Copilot, which aim to enhance the user experience across its Office suite of products, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook.
The new plugins, which essentially function as a ChatGPT for…
The field of large language models (LLMs), a subset of artificial intelligence that attempts to mimic human-like understanding and decision-making, is a focus for considerable research efforts. These systems need to be versatile and broadly intelligent, which means a complex development process that can avoid "hallucination", or the production of nonsensical outputs. Traditional training methods…
KAIST AI's introduction of the Odds Ratio Preference Optimization (ORPO) represents a novel approach in the field of pre-trained language models (PLMs), one that may revolutionize model alignment and set a new standard for ethical artificial intelligence (AI). In contrast to traditional methods, which heavily rely on supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and reinforcement learning with human…
The emergence of large language models (LLMs) is making significant advancements in machine learning, offering the ability to mimic human language which is critical for many modern technologies from content creation to digital assistants. A major obstacle to progress, however, has been the processing speed when generating textual responses. This is largely due to the…
Generative modeling, the process of using algorithms to generate high-quality, artificial data, has seen significant development, largely driven by the evolution of diffusion models. These advanced algorithms are known for their ability to synthesize images and videos, representing a new epoch in artificial intelligence (AI) driven creativity. The success of these algorithms, however, relies on…
Researchers from The University of Sydney have introduced EfficientVMamba, a new model that optimizes efficiency in computer vision tasks. This groundbreaking architecture effectively blends the strengths of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Transformer-based models, known for their prowess in local feature extraction and global information processing respectively. The EfficientVMamba approach incorporates an atrous-based selective scanning…
The pervasiveness of health disparities around the world continues to be a pervasive problem. Factors such as limited access to healthcare, varied clinical treatment, and inconsistencies in diagnostic capabilities feed into the difficulties in achieving health equity globally. The introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) into healthcare has the potential to tackle these challenges, but careful…
High-resolution image synthesis has always been a challenge in digital imagery due to issues such as the emergence of repetitive patterns and structural distortions. While pre-trained diffusion models have been effective, they often result in artifacts when it comes to high-resolution image generation. Despite various attempts, such as enhancing the convolutional layers of these models,…
In the field of computer science, accurately reconstructing 3D models from 2D images—a problem known as pose inference—presents complex challenges. For instance, the task can be vital in producing 3D models for e-commerce or assisting in autonomous vehicle navigation. Existing methods rely on gathering the camera poses prior, or harnessing generative adversarial networks (GANs), but…
