While technological advancements have brought about an era where artificial intelligence (AI) voices closely mimic the sound of human speech, correctly identifying whether a voice has originated from human or AI remains a taxing task for most people, according to a new study from psychology researchers at the University of Oslo. As voice cloning technology…
Deep learning models such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Vision Transformers have seen vast success in visual tasks like image classification, object detection, and semantic segmentation. However, their ability to accommodate different data changes, particularly in security-critical applications, is a significant concern. Many studies have assessed the robustness of CNNs and Transformers against common…
Natural Language Processing (NLP) has seen significant advancements in recent years, mainly due to the growing size and power of large language models (LLMs). These models have not only showcased remarkable performances but are also making significant strides in real-world applications. To better understand their working and predictive reasoning, significant research and investigation has been…
Large language models (LLMs) have gained significant attention in recent years, but their safety in multilingual contexts remains a critical concern. Studies have shown high toxicity levels in multilingual LLMs, highlighting the urgent need for effective multilingual toxicity mitigation strategies.
Strategies to reduce toxicity in open-ended generations for non-English languages currently face considerable challenges due to…
Improving the efficiency of Feedforward Neural Networks (FFNs) in Transformer architectures is a significant challenge, particularly when dealing with highly resource-intensive Large Language Models (LLMs). Optimizing these networks is essential for supporting more sustainable AI methods and broadening access to such technologies by lowering operation costs.
Existing techniques for boosting FFNs efficiency are commonly based…
Rakis is an open-source, decentralized AI inference network. Traditional AI inference methods typically rely on a centralized server system, which poses multiple challenges such as potential privacy risks, scalability limitations, trust issues with central authorities, and a single point of failure. Rakis seeks to address these problems through focusing on decentralization and verifiability.
Rather than…
The artificial intelligence (AI) industry has seen many advancements, particularly in the area of game-playing agents such as AlphaGo, which are capable of superhuman performance via self-play techniques. Now, researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, have turned to these techniques to tackle a persistent challenge in AI—improving performance in cooperative or partially cooperative language…
Last year, MIT President Sally Kornbluth and Provost Cynthia Barnhart launched an initiative to compile and publish proposals on the subject of generative artificial intelligence (AI). They requested submissions of papers detailing effective roadmaps, policy recommendations, and calls for action to further develop and understand the field.
The appeal for the first round of papers generated…
Perplexity AI, a company that blends a search engine with generative AI to deliver AI-created content related to user search queries, has been accused of unethical data collection practices. It allegedly scraped content from several websites, including those that expressly disallow it, without proper protocol. The controversy began on June 11th when Forbes claimed that…
