Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is becoming a crucial technology in large language models (LLMs), aiming to boost accuracy by integrating external data with pre-existing model knowledge. This technology helps to overcome the limitations of LLMs which are limited to their training data, and thus might fail when faced with recent or specialized information not included in…
Google's advanced artificial intelligence (AI) branch, DeepMind, has recently rolled out a new addition to its suite of tools, a JAX library known as Penzai. Designed to simplify the construction, visualization, and modification of neural networks in AI research, Penzai has been hailed as a revolutionary tool for the accessibility and manipulability of artificial intelligence…
Deep neural networks, particularly convolutional neural networks (CNNs), have significantly advanced computer vision tasks. However, their deployment on devices with limited computing power can be challenging. Knowledge distillation has become a potential solution to this issue. It involves training smaller "student" models from larger "teacher" models. Despite the effectiveness of this method, the process of…
A team of researchers from MIT has introduced a new technique that allows artists of animated movies and video games to have greater control over the movement of their animations. Their method is rooted in mathematical functions called barycentric coordinates, which define how 2D and 3D shapes move, bend and stretch. This level of dynamic…
Researchers from MIT have developed artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled compounds that effectively combat Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a drug-resistant bacterium that causes over 10,000 deaths annually in the US, according to a study published in Nature. Utilising deep learning, a form of AI, the researchers were able to identify features that would enable the compounds to…
2023 was a dynamic year for MIT, marked by significant developments, including President Sally Kornbluth's inauguration and Professor Moungi Bawendi winning the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. The institution’s researchers also achieved major advancements like detecting a dying star consuming a planet, expanding the boundaries of AI, developing clean energy approaches, creating tools for earlier cancer…
Amazon Personalize has recently announced the integration of automatic training for solutions. This exciting development guarantees a more accurate and personalized user experience by keeping their recommendations current and in line with evolving user preferences.
To gain a better understanding of how Amazon Personalize works, it's necessary to be familiar with certain terms. A "solution",…
The fast-paced development of the artificial intelligence (AI) sector has posed considerable challenges for traditional data management technologies. Manual procedures, disjointed workflows, and data group errors have resulted in inconsistency and inefficiency. In a rapidly changing environment, where the concept of “modern” data stack is almost obsolete, managing distributed data has become labor-intensive requiring specialized…
