Large Language Models (LLMs) are widely used in complex reasoning tasks across various fields. But, their construction and optimization demand considerable computational power, particularly when pretraining on large datasets. To mitigate this, researchers have proposed scaling equations showing the relationship between pretraining loss and computational effort.
However, new findings suggest these rules may not thoroughly represent…
Large Language Models (LLMs) require safety tuning to ensure alignment with human values. However, even those tuned for safety are susceptible to jailbreaking—errant behavior that escapes designed safety measures. Even benign data, free of harmful content, can lead to safety degradation, an issue recently studied by researchers from Princeton University's Princeton Language and Intelligence (PLI).

The fast-paced evolution of artificial intelligence, particularly Vision Language Models (VLMs), presents challenges in ensuring their reliability and trustworthiness. These VLMs integrate visual and textual understanding, however, their increasing sophistication has brought into focus their ability to detect and not respond to unsolvable or irrelevant questions— an aspect known as Unsolvable Problem Detection (UPD).

Artificial intelligence (AI) continues to revolutionize various industries, and OctoAI Inc.'s introduction of OctoStack, a software platform, takes a giant leap forward. OctoStack is designed to empower AI inference environments within businesses, addressing key apprehensions about data privacy, security, and control by allowing businesses to host AI models on their in-house infrastructure.
Previously, large language models…
Researchers at MIT and the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab have developed a system that trains users on when to trust an AI model's advice. This automated system essentially creates an onboarding process based on a specific task performed by a human and an AI model. It then uses this data to develop training exercises, helping…
A committee of scholars and leaders from MIT has released a series of policy briefs, aiming to frame a strategy for governance of artificial intelligence (AI). The targeted audience for these briefs is primarily U.S. policymakers, with the aim of regulating AI to ensure its safe use, limit potential harms, and encourage exploration of societal…
Modern machine learning models are becoming increasingly adept at simulating the structure and function of the human auditory system, a development that could lead to improvements in devices like hearing aids, cochlear implants, and brain-machine interfaces.
A team at MIT conducted what is considered the largest study of deep neural networks trained for auditory tasks…
Jeremy Barnett, the CEO and founder of RAD AI, recently issued a statement to announce the launch of his new monthly newsletter, "Perspectives Of A Marketing CEO." This communication medium is created in response to the many encouragements he has received from industry peers and colleagues to share his thoughts that inspire the work culture…
In the rapidly developing realm of healthcare artificial intelligence (AI), integrating AI into healthcare facilities can lead to transformations in workflow and improvements in patient outcomes. However, the successful implementation of AI demands an understanding of the diverse roles within an organization. These roles include Clinical AI Champions, Department Chairs or Vice Chairs, and IT…
Apple engineers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) system capable of better understanding and responding to contextual references in user interactions. This new development could possibly enhance on-device virtual assistants, making them more efficient and responsive.
Understanding references within a conversation comes naturally to humans. Phrases such as "the bottom one" or "him" are easily…
