The Skywork-13B family of large language models (LLMs) addresses the need for transparent and commercially available LLMs. Researchers at Kunlun Technology developed Skywork-13B-Base and Skywork-13BChat, providing detailed information about the training process and data composition. They also released intermediate checkpoints and used a two-stage training approach for optimization. Skywork-13B outperforms similar models and achieves low…
Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine have developed a machine learning model that accurately calculates the extent of tumor death in bone cancer patients. The model, trained on annotated pathology images, achieved 85% accuracy, which rose to 99% after removing an outlier. The innovative method reduces the workload for pathologists and has the potential to revolutionize…
A new report by Tech Against Terrorism highlights that violent extremists are increasingly using generative AI tools to create content, including images linked to groups like Hezbollah and Hamas. This strategic use of AI aims to influence narratives, particularly relating to sensitive topics like the Israel-Hamas war. The report also raises concerns about the implications…
The OECD has updated its definition of AI, which is expected to be included in the European Union’s AI Act. The new definition recognizes AI systems that can have emergent goals beyond their original objectives and expands the range of outputs AI can produce. It also considers the changes AI systems can undergo after deployment.…

The text discusses the challenges of evaluating language models and proposes using language models to evaluate other language models. It introduces several metrics and evaluators that rely on language models, including G-Eval, FactScore, and RAGAS. These metrics aim to assess factors such as coherence, factual precision, faithfulness, answer relevance, and context relevance. While there are…
The Vision Transformer (ViT) model is a groundbreaking approach to image recognition that transforms images into sequences of patches and applies Transformer encoders to extract insights. It surpasses traditional CNN models by leveraging self-attention mechanisms and sequence-based processing, offering superior performance and computational efficiency. ViT presents new possibilities for complex visual tasks, making it a…
A recent study evaluated the performance of GPT-4V, a multimodal language model, in handling complex queries that require both text and visual inputs. While GPT-4V has potential in enhancing natural language processing and computer vision applications, it is not suitable for practical medical diagnostics due to unreliable and suboptimal responses. The study highlights the need…
Researchers at Stanford University have introduced RT-Sketch, a goal-conditioned manipulation policy that uses hand-drawn sketches as a more precise and abstract alternative to natural language and goal images in visual imitation learning. RT-Sketch demonstrates robust performance in various manipulation tasks, outperforming language-based agents in scenarios with ambiguous goals or visual distractions. The study highlights the…

During the AI Safety Summit in the UK, US VP Kamala Harris announced that 30 countries have joined the US in endorsing its proposed guidelines for the military use of AI. The “Political Declaration on Responsible Military Use of Artificial Intelligence and Autonomy” was posted on the US Department of State website, with additional details…
The winners of the AI DevWorld Hackathon for building the most interesting Clarifai projects have been announced.
Researchers from China have introduced a new framework called TiV-NeRF for simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) in dynamic environments. By leveraging neural implicit representations and incorporating an overlap-based keyframe selection strategy, this approach improves the reconstruction of moving objects, addressing the limitations of traditional SLAM methods. While promising, further evaluation on real-world sequences is necessary…
The researchers from UCSD conducted a Turing Test using GPT-4. The best performing prompt from GPT-4 was successful in 41% of the games, outperforming ELIZA, GPT-3.5, and random chance. The test revealed that participants judged primarily on language style and social-emotional qualities. The Turing Test remains useful for studying spontaneous communication and deceit. However, the…
Bill Gates believes that artificial intelligence (AI) will revolutionize computing and reshape the software industry. He envisions AI-driven agents that understand and respond to natural language and can perform tasks across multiple applications. These agents will learn from users’ preferences and behavior patterns, acting as personal assistants for tasks ranging from travel planning to healthcare…
The latest wave of generative AI, from ChatGPT to GPT4 to DALL-E 2/3 to Midjourney, has attracted global attention. These models exhibit superhuman capabilities but also make fundamental comprehension mistakes. Researchers propose the Generative AI Paradox hypothesis, suggesting that generative models can be more creative than humans because they are trained to produce expert-like outputs…
The post discusses a common error that some users encounter when using ChatGPT plugins, which is the “Authorization error accessing plugins.” It provides a step-by-step guide on how to solve this error, including clearing the browser cache and data, uninstalling and reinstalling the plugins, using a VPN, switching browsers, and contacting the plugin developer for…
