Google AI Presents PaLI-3: A Smaller, Faster, and Stronger Vision Language Model (VLM) that Compares Favorably to Similar Models that are 10x Larger
The Vision Language Model (VLM) is an advanced AI system that combines natural language understanding with image recognition. Researchers from Google have developed a new model called PaLI-3, which outperforms larger models in tasks like localization and text understanding. The study highlights the benefits of contrastive pre-training for VLMs and emphasizes the need for further…

A New AI Study from MIT Shows How Deep Neural Networks Don’t See the World the Way We Do
Researchers have discovered that artificial neural networks designed to mimic human perception often exhibit invariances that do not match those found in human sensory perception. Model metamers, synthetic stimuli with similar activations to natural images or sounds, revealed significant differences between the invariances of computational models and human perception. This research highlights the challenges of…

Meet MatFormer: A Universal Nested Transformer Architecture for Flexible Model Deployment Across Platforms
Researchers from Google Research, the University of Texas at Austin, the University of Washington, and Harvard University have introduced MatFormer—a Transformer architecture designed for adaptability. MatFormer allows for the generation of numerous smaller submodels without additional training costs by incorporating a nested sub-structure within the standard Transformer. This approach enables the production of accurate smaller…

Reddit Considers Blocking Google Search Crawlers Over AI Data Disputes
Reddit is considering blocking search engine crawlers like Google and Bing due to disputes with AI companies over payment for its data. Initially dismissing the report, Reddit later clarified that user logins were the only thing not changing. If no deals are made with AI companies, Reddit posts may be invisible in search results, impacting…
