The software development industry is continuously seeking advanced, scalable, and flexible tools to handle complex tasks such as reasoning, summarization, and multilingual question answering. Addressing these needs and challenges—including dealing with vast amounts of data, ensuring model performance across different languages, and offering a versatile interface—requires innovative solutions. To this end, large language models have…
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) and renal fibrosis are complex diseases that have challenged pharmaceutical development, as they lack efficient treatment methods. Current potential drug targets, such as TGF-β signaling pathways, have not led to viable therapies for actual use. As a result, IPF, characterized by fibroblast proliferation and extracellular matrix deposition, continues to be particularly…
A team of researchers from Peking University and Alibaba Group have introduced FastV, a model designed to mitigate the inefficiencies in computational processing within Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs). In particular, FastV addresses the bias exhibited by the attention mechanism in LVLMs, which tends to favour textual tokens over visual tokens. Existing models - including LLaVA-1.5…
Today's increasingly pervasive artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have given rise to concerns over the perpetuation of historically entrenched human biases, particularly within marginalized communities. New research by academics from the Allen Institute for AI, Stanford University, and the University of Chicago exposes a worrying form of bias rarely discussed before: Dialect Prejudice against speakers of…
Recent advancements in large language models (LLMs), which have revolutionized fields like healthcare, translation, and code generation, are now being leveraged to assist the legal domain. Legal professionals often grapple with extensive, complex documents, emphasizing the need for a dedicated LLM. To address this, researchers from several prestigious institutions—including Equall.ai, MICS, CentraleSupélec, and Université Paris-Saclay—have…
Vision-Language Models (VLMs) provide state-of-the-art performance across a spectrum of vision-language tasks, including captioning, object localization, commonsense reasoning, and vision-based coding, amongst others. Recent studies, such as one undertaken by Apple, showed that these models excel in extracting text from images and interpreting visual data, including tables and charts. However, when tested on complex tasks…
Large language models (LLMs) that excel in solving various problems often falter when it comes to complex mathematical reasoning tasks. This is attributed to the requirement of multi-step reasoning, a process facilitated by Instruction Tuning. The effectiveness of Instruction Tuning is, however, hampered by limited mathematical reasoning datasets. The scarcity of such datasets underscores the…
The creation of lifelike images, videos, and sounds using artificial intelligence (AI) has significantly progressed recently. However, most of these developments have been focused on single modalities, ignoring the inherent multimodal nature of our world. In addressing this, researchers have introduced a novel optimization-based framework designed to seamlessly integrate visual and audio content creation. By…
