The advancements in multimodal large language models (MLLMs) such as ChatGPT have proved revolutionary in several fields. However, these models primarily use Transformer networks, which have quadratic computation complexity, reducing efficiency. Language-Only Models (LLMs), on the other hand, are restricted in their adaptability as they solely rely on language interactions.
Attempting to improve this, researchers from…
A hash table is a foundational data structure known for its optimal performance for insertion, search, and deletion queries given a well-chosen hash function. However, hash tables can encounter issues such as potential collisions, which can slow down processes and require increased memory space to mitigate.
A probabilistic data structure known as a Bloom filter can…
At the "Generative AI: Shaping the Future" symposium, kickstarting MIT's Generative AI Week, iRobot co-founder and keynote speaker, Rodney Brooks, warned attendees not to overly idealise the potential of this emerging technology. Both OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Bard are examples of increasingly powerful tools underpinned by generative AI. Brooks emphasised that the unsubstantiated hype around…
Efficiently routing holiday packages is an intricate computational problem for delivery companies such as FedEx. So complex is the problem that companies often implement specialized software, termed a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) solver. Yet, the solver may take prolonged times to offer a solution, leading companies to conclude midway, settling for suboptimal solutions bounded by…
Researchers from Alibaba Group and the Renmin University of China have developed an advanced version of MultiModal Large Language Models (MLLMs) to better understand and interpret images rich in text content. Named DocOwl 1.5, this innovative model uses Unified Structure Learning to enhance the efficiency of MLLMs across five distinct domains: document, webpage, table, chart,…
"Text mining" refers to the discovery of new patterns and insights within large amounts of textual data. Two essential activities in text mining are the creation of a taxonomy - a collection of structured, canonical labels that characterize features of a corpus - and text classification, which assigns labels to instances within the corpus according…
