Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs), such as Flamingo, BLIP-2, LLaVA, and MiniGPT-4, enable emergent vision-language capabilities. Their limitation, however, lies in their inability to effectively recognize and understand intricate details in high-resolution images. To address this, scientists have developed InfiMM-HD, a new architecture specifically designed for processing images of varying resolutions at a lower computational…
The challenges associated with training large language models (LLMs) given their memory-intensive nature can be significant. Traditional methods for reducing memory consumption frequently involve compressing model weights, commonly leading to a decrease in model performance. A new approach being called Gradient Low-Rank Projection (GaLore) is now being proposed by researchers from various institutions, including the…
Computational linguistics, a field that seeks ways to generate human-like text, has experienced tremendous evolution thanks to innovative models. Key among the recent developments are diffusion models, which have made a lot of headway in visual and auditory fields but are now also proving influential in natural language generation (NLG). Through diffusion models, researchers hope…
Large Language Models (LLMs) play a crucial role in the rapidly advancing field of artificial intelligence, particularly in natural language processing.
