Researchers from ISTA Austria and Neural Magic Introduce QMoE: A Revolutionary Compression Framework for Efficient Execution of Trillion-Parameter Language Models
The Mixture of Experts (MoE) architecture combines multiple subnetworks to handle complex data, but it can be computationally expensive. Researchers have introduced QMoE, a framework that compresses trillion-parameter MoEs to less than 1 bit per parameter, making them more efficient to run. This is achieved through data-dependent quantization methods and can be processed in less…

Researchers from Meta and UNC-Chapel Hill Introduce Branch-Solve-Merge: A Revolutionary Program Enhancing Large Language Models’ Performance in Complex Language Tasks
The Branch-Solve-Merge (BSM) program enhances Large Language Models (LLMs) in complex natural language tasks. It includes branching, solving, and merging modules to plan, crack, and combine sub-tasks. Applied to LLMs like Vicuna, LLaMA-2-chat, and GPT-4, BSM boosts human-LLM agreement, reduces biases, increases story coherence, and improves constraint satisfaction. BSM is a promising solution for enhancing…

Shedding Light on Cartoon Animation’s Future: AnimeInbet’s Innovation in Line Drawing Inbetweening
A new AI technique called AnimeInbet has been developed to automate the process of in-betweening line drawings in cartoon animation. Unlike previous methods, AnimeInbet works with geometrized vector graphs instead of raster images, resulting in cleaner and more accurate intermediate frames. The technique involves matching and relocating vertices, preserving intricate line structures, and predicting a…
