Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology and the University of California, San Diego, have introduced an innovative model-based reinforcement learning algorithm called Policy learning with Large World Models (PWM). Traditional reinforcement learning methods have faced difficulties with multitasking, especially across different robotic forms. PWM tackles these issues by pretraining world models on offline data,…
MIT President Sally Kornbluth and Provost Cynthia Barnhart last year issued a call for papers with the aim of developing effective strategies, policy recommendations, and calls to action in the field of generative artificial intelligence (AI). The response was overwhelming, with a total of 75 proposals submitted. Out of these, 27 were selected for seed…
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized numerous industries, from customer service to content generation, by deploying large language models (LLMs) that can supply accurate and useful replies to human prompts. However, these models tend to favor longer responses, exhibiting an inherent length bias that complicates model evaluation.
To balance response length with quality, researchers have developed Length-Instruction…
Businesses worldwide are capitalizing on the transformative capabilities of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to improve their processes. A standout AI-powered tool is OpenAI's ChatGPT, a language model that can generate texts mimicking human conversation. While beneficial, out-of-the-box applications of ChatGPT sometimes fail to fully meet a business's specific requirements. To maximize its potential, businesses must perform…
Text-to-3D generation technology is becoming increasingly influential across various fields such as video games, augmented reality, and virtual reality. The process creates detailed 3D content from text descriptions, which was traditionally a laborious and expensive task requiring a significant amount of effort from skilled artists. By automating this process with AI technology, it becomes a…
AI-based recommender systems, which suggest products or content to users, are prevalent across various online platforms like social media and e-commerce. These systems have a significant influence on user behavior, according to a research survey from the Institute of Information Science and Technologies at the National Research Council, the Scuola Normale Superiore of Pisa, and…
Large Language Models (LLMs) have significantly impacted industries from translation to sentiment analysis. However, their practical use is hampered by computational demands, particularly with long prompts due to the quadratic complexity of the attention mechanism. Addressing this issue, researchers from Microsoft Corporation and the University of Surrey have developed MInference, a method to accelerate long-sequence…
The exponential growth of the internet has increased the importance of search engines in navigating online data. However, as users demand accurate, relevant and timely responses, traditional search technologies face various challenges. To counter these, advancements in natural language processing (NLP) and information retrieval (IR) technologies are being made.
Large Language Models (LLMs) that form…
In 2024, customer service has been radically transformed by advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI), specifically OpenAI's ChatGPT, which is revolutionizing how businesses interact with customers. Equipped with NLP (Natural Language Processing) algorithms to comprehend and respond to natural language queries with precision, ChatGPT provides more human-like interactions resulting in more meaningful conversations, which ultimately translating into…
Last summer, MIT President Sally Kornbluth and Provost Cynthia Barnhart issued a call for papers on generative artificial intelligence (AI). They sought effective roadmaps, policy recommendations, and calls for action in the AI field, and received 75 proposals. Out of these, 27 were selected for seed funding.
Due to the robust response to this initial funding…
Running an online business is complicated, and one of the most challenging aspects is maintaining accurate financial records. The right e-commerce accounting solution can simplify your financials, save you time, and can integrate with your online store to provide real-time insights into your company's finances.
