Researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have introduced LATS, a framework that harnesses the capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) for decision-making, planning, and reasoning. LATS utilizes techniques such as Monte Carlo tree search (MCTS) to explore decision paths and integrates external feedback for adaptive problem-solving. Experimental evaluations across various domains demonstrate the…
The rise of AI-generated voices on TikTok is causing concern as it facilitates the spread of misinformation. For example, an AI-generated voice sounding like former President Barack Obama defended himself against a baseless theory. This trend is not limited to politics but also includes false claims about celebrities and various topics. Companies and experts are…
PB-LLM is an innovative approach for extreme low-bit quantization in Large Language Models (LLMs) while preserving language reasoning capabilities. It strategically filters salient weights during binarization, introduces post-training quantization (PTQ) and quantization-aware training (QAT) methods, and offers accessible code for further exploration. This advancement contributes significantly to LLM network binarization.
Researchers from Princeton University and Meta AI have developed MEMWALKER, a new method for analyzing lengthy texts. MEMWALKER breaks down the text into manageable segments, condenses the information from each segment, and constructs a tree structure. This approach allows for rapid processing of texts and the identification of crucial information without user fine-tuning. MEMWALKER outperformed…

eBay, Amazon, and Shopify are incorporating AI features to assist users in listing products and completing mundane tasks. These tools help sellers generate detailed product descriptions quickly and accurately. AI tools on platforms like Shopify are also automating tasks such as creating email campaigns and generating responses to customer queries, reducing labor-intensive workloads.
CD Projekt, the developers of Cyberpunk 2077, utilized AI technology to bring back the voice of the late Miłogost Reczek for their game Phantom Liberty. Instead of re-recording all of Reczek’s lines with a different actor, the company used voice-cloning software from Respeecher to transform new dialogue recorded by a voice actor into Reczek’s distinct…
Recent developments in text-to-image generation have allowed for the creation of detailed graphics from natural language descriptions. However, these models often do not produce high-quality raster images for scientific figures. As a result, vector graphics, which offer better geometric precision and text readability, are encouraged. Researchers are investigating the usage of visual languages, such as…
