Large Language Models (LLMs) are known for their ability to carry out multiple tasks and perform exceptionally across diverse applications. However, their potential to produce accurate information is inhibited, particularly when the knowledge is less represented in their training data. To tackle this issue, a technique known as retrieval augmentation was devised, combining information retrieval…
Selecting the right balance between enhancing the data set and enhancing the model parameters in a given computational budget is essential for the optimization of Neural Networks. Scaling rules assist in this allocation of strategies. Past research has recognized a 1-to-1 ratio of parameter count scaling and training token count as the most effective approach…
MIT researchers have developed an anti-tampering ID tag that provides improved security compared to traditional radio frequency ID (RFID) tags that are commonly used for authentication.
The new tag, which is smaller, cheaper, and more secure than RFIDs, uses terahertz (THz) waves for authentication. However, like traditional RFIDs, it faced a vulnerability where counterfeiters could…
Researchers from MIT, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and Duke University have developed a strategy to understand how orally ingested drugs exit the digestive tract. The process relies on transporter proteins found in the lining of the digestive tract. Identifying the specific transporters used by various drugs can help avoid potential complications when two drugs using…
In 2010, Karthik Dinakar and Birago Jones began a project while at MIT's Media Lab, aiming to build a tool to aid content moderation teams at companies like Twitter and YouTube. This tool aimed to identify concerning posts, but the creators struggled to comprehend the slang and indirect language commonly used by posters. This led…
Large Language Models (LLMs) often exhibit judgment and decision-making patterns that resemble those of humans, posing them as attractive candidates for studying human cognition. They not only emulate rational norms such as risk and loss aversion, but also showcase human-like errors and biases, particularly in probability judgments and arithmetic operations. Despite their potential prospects, challenges…
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has in recent times infiltrated various sectors, including sports, with innovative tools being employed across different sporting activities, games analysis and fan experience. This article highlights some intriguing AI tools that have revolutionized sports.
The Locks Player Props Research iOS app uses AI algorithms to identify patterns and insights that give users an…
Researchers from IT University Copenhagen, Denmark have proposed a new approach to solve a challenge with deep neural networks (DNNs) known as the Symmetry Dilemma. This issue arises because standard DNNs have a fixed structure tied to specific dimensions of input and output space. This rigid structure makes it difficult to optimize these networks across…
Multimodal machine learning combines various data types such as text, images, and audio to create more accurate and comprehensive models. However, large multimodal models (LMMs), like LLaVA, have been facing problems dealing with high-resolution graphics due to their inflexible and inefficient nature. Many have recognized the necessity for methods that may adjust the number of…
K2 is an advanced large language model (LLM) by LLM360, produced in partnership with MBZUAI and Petuum. This model, dubbed K2-65B, comprises 65 billion parameters and is completely reproducible, meaning that all components, including the code, data, model checkpoints, and intermediate results, are open-source and available to anyone. The main aim of this level of…
Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) has been used to enhance the capabilities of large language models (LLMs) by incorporating external knowledge. However, RAG is susceptible to retrieval corruption, a type of attack in which disruptive information is inserted into the document collection, leading to the generation of incorrect or misleading responses. This poses a serious threat to…
The ability to confirm the authenticity of products has become a paramount need in our world today, especially with the rise of counterfeiting. The most common method often used is radio frequency tags or RFIDs, which confirms the authenticity of a product but at a size and cost disadvantage. However, a new research by the…
