Meta AI Introduces Chameleon: A New Family of Early-Fusion Token-based Foundation Models that Set a New Bar for Multimodal Machine Learning

MotionLM is a new approach for predicting the behavior of road agents in autonomous vehicles. It treats the prediction task as a language modeling task, similar to how language models capture complex language distributions. MotionLM outperforms…

Researchers from UC Berkeley and UCSF have introduced a new approach called LLM-grounded Video Diffusion (LVD) to address the challenges in generating videos from text prompts. LVD utilizes Large Language Models (LLMs) to create dynamic scene…

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman envisions a future where neural devices, combined with advanced AI like GPT-5 or 6, could potentially visualize a person’s inner monologue. These devices would display words in a user’s field of vision,…

Israel’s AI-integrated air defense system, Iron Dome, has been in the spotlight due to the recent conflict with Gaza. Iron Dome has a 90% success rate in intercepting rockets from Hamas and Hezbollah, using radar technology,…

Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University and Google explored the concept of delaying model outputs in language models by adding fake tokens. This technique, called pause training, was found to improve performance on various tasks, including extractive…

Machine learning models are being used to predict UI information and improve app accessibility and testing. Currently, these models rely on costly and error-prone human-labeled datasets. While some elements can be guessed from visuals or metadata,…

Mind-body interventions like mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) can enhance well-being by improving awareness and control of physiological and cognitive states. Researchers examined the impact of MBSR on long-term physiological changes and well-being. They measured respiration rate…

Google set a new world record for calculating the most digits of Pi using the y-cruncher program running on Google Cloud. While math.pi has a precision of 15 digits, the article explores using Ramanujan’s formula and…

The winners of Streamlit’s LLM Hackathon have been announced for building the most interesting Clarifai projects.

Researchers from Google DeepMind and Stanford University have developed a technique called “Analogical Prompting” to enhance the reasoning abilities of language models. Traditional prompts and pre-defined examples often fall short in guiding models to solve complex…

The trend of AI-powered virtual girlfriends is rapidly escalating in the US, but experts are alarmed by the potential increase in loneliness among young men. Liberty Vittert, a data science professor, expressed concerns about the impact…

The BBC has blocked OpenAI’s ChatGPT bot and the Common Crawl bot from scraping its news and media content. The decision follows a trend of websites blocking AI bots from using their data to train AI…

Advancements in generative AI have led to the creation of hyper-realistic digital content known as deepfakes, raising concerns about misinformation and fraud. Researchers have developed methods such as watermarking to distinguish between authentic and AI-generated material.…

Researchers at Meta AI have developed a non-invasive method to decode speech from brain activity. By using magneto-encephalography (MEG) and electroencephalography (EEG), they recorded the brain waves of volunteers and identified the words associated with specific…

The MAPTree algorithm, developed by researchers at Stanford University, improves decision tree models beyond what was previously believed to be optimal. It assesses the posterior distribution of Bayesian Classification and Regression Trees (BCART) to create more…

SynthIA-7B-v1.3 is a robust and flexible large language model with 7 billion parameters. It can be used for various purposes such as text creation, translation, generating original content, and answering questions. It is suitable for researchers,…

UK parliamentarians and advocacy organizations are calling for a temporary halt to the use of live facial recognition technology by the police. Concerns are being raised about the potential misuse and ineffectiveness of the technology, as…

Open source AI, particularly Meta’s Llama models, has sparked debate and protest regarding the risks of publicly releasing powerful AI models. Protestors argue that open source AI can lead to irreversible proliferation of dangerous technology, while…
