The Influence of Long Context Transfer on Visual Processing through LongVA: Improving Extensive Multimodal Models for Extended Video Segments

The field of research that aims to enhance large multimodal models (LMMs) to effectively interpret long video sequences faces challenges stemming from the extensive amount of visual tokens vision encoders generate. These visual tokens pile up, particularly with LLaVA-1.6 model, which generates between 576 and 2880 visual tokens for one image, a number that significantly…

Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University suggest a technique called In-Context Abstraction Learning (ICAL) – a method where AI builds a memory bank of insights from multimodal experiences, drawing from imperfect demonstrations and human feedback.

Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University and Google's DeepMind have developed a novel approach for training visual-language models (VLMs) called In-Context Abstraction Learning (ICAL). Unlike traditional methods, ICAL guides VLMs to build multimodal abstractions in new domains, allowing machines to better understand and learn from their experiences. This is achieved by focusing on four cognitive abstractions,…

Researchers from the University of Toronto have developed a peptide prediction model that outperforms AlphaFold 2.

Researchers at the University of Toronto’s Donelly Centre have developed a state-of-the-art Artificial Intelligence (AI) model, PepFlow, which accurately predicts the form of peptides. Peptides are smaller molecules made up of amino acids, the essential constituents of proteins. The size and flexibility of peptides allow them to fold into different shapes; the precise shape further…

Microsoft unveils a universal “Skeleton Key Jailbreak” that operates across various AI models.

Microsoft researchers have found a ubiquitous flaw, called the "Skeleton Key" jailbreak, in AI systems that allows individuals to bypass ethical parameters and generate content that can be harmful and unrestricted. This technique tricks the AI into believing it should comply with any prompts, even if they're unethical, which exposes the system to manipulated attacks.…
