Amazon Textract is a machine learning service that extracts text and data from scanned documents. Custom Queries is a feature that allows you to customize the extraction of information from non-standard documents like checks. By customizing the feature, you can achieve greater accuracy in data extraction without the need for ML expertise or infrastructure management.
Amazon SageMaker JumpStart now supports token streaming for large language model (LLM) inference responses. This feature allows users to see the model response output as it is being generated, providing a perception of low latency. Streaming is available for select LLMs in SageMaker JumpStart, including Mistral AI 7B, Falcon 180B, Falcon 40B, and Rinna Japanese…
Google AI has developed a groundbreaking technique called Audioplethysmography (APG) that enables active noise cancelling (ANC) headphones to monitor the user’s cardiac activities without additional sensors or complex hardware configurations. APG leverages low-intensity ultrasound signals transmitted through the headphones to detect and analyze changes in the ear canal, providing accurate and reliable heart rate and…
Researchers from Rice University and Amazon Web Services have developed GEMINI, a distributed training system that aims to improve failure recovery in large-scale deep learning model training. GEMINI optimizes checkpoint placement and traffic scheduling, resulting in faster failure recovery compared to existing solutions. It offers high checkpoint frequencies without compromising training throughput, making it a…
Colombian rum and spirits company Dictador has made history by appointing a humanoid robot named Mika as its CEO. Developed by Hanson Robotics, Mika showcases the futuristic integration of artificial intelligence into executive leadership. While Mika’s advanced capabilities are lauded, there are concerns about the integration of AI into human-centric roles. This appointment sparks broader…
Vectara has introduced an open-source Hallucination Evaluation Model in the field of Generative AI (GenAI).

It also includes a leaderboard to rank LLMs based on performance. The release provides transparency and a standardized benchmark for…
Researchers from the University of Michigan propose new benchmarks and evaluation protocols to assess the Theory of Mind capability of Large Language Models (LLMs). They advocate for a holistic evaluation approach that categorizes machine ToM into seven mental state categories. The study emphasizes the need for comprehensive assessment and treating LLMs as agents in realistic…
Elon Musk announced the beta launch of xAI’s chatbot called Grok. It is based on the Grok-1 model, which was developed over the last four months. Although the number of parameters is unknown, xAI claims that Grok-1 is “state-of-the-art” and “significantly more powerful” than its predecessor. The chatbot performed well in benchmark tests, outperforming other…
PepsiCo has used AI to develop Doritos Silent, a software that eliminates the sound of snack crunching during gaming. Developed by Smooth Technology, the AI was trained using over 5,000 Doritos crunches. While some dismiss the idea, the gaming industry is a lucrative market expected to reach $188 billion in revenue by 2023. The software…
Google’s “About this image” feature in Search aims to combat the spread of AI-generated image misinformation. It provides users with a comprehensive history of the image, access to metadata, and information about how the image is used on other websites. Beta users have reported significant reductions in investigation time when fact-checking images, highlighting the tool’s…
The text discusses the importance of data in machine learning and the challenges associated with training models on large datasets.
