Inspired by the brain, neural networks are essential for recognizing images and processing language. These networks rely on activation functions, which enable them to learn complex patterns. However, many activation functions face challenges. Some struggle with vanishing gradients, which slows learning in deep networks, while others suffer from “dead neurons,” where certain parts of the… →

The self-attention mechanism is a building block of transformer architectures that faces huge challenges both in the theoretical foundations and practical implementation. Despite such successes in natural language processing, computer vision, and other areas, their development often relies on heuristic approaches, limiting interpretability and scalability. Self-attention mechanisms are also vulnerable to data corruption and adversarial… →

AI-powered note-taking tools have revolutionized how we manage, structure, and access information. These tools not only make note-taking easier but also provide insights, automate tasks, and enhance collaboration. Here’s a list of the top 25 AI… →

Diffusion Policies in Imitation Learning (IL) can generate diverse agent behaviors, but as models grow in size and capability, their computational demands increase, leading to slower training and inference. This challenges real-time applications, especially in environments with limited computing power, like mobile robots. These policies need many parameters and denoising steps and, thus, are unsuitable… →

Large language models (LLMs) have found applications in diverse industries, automating tasks and enhancing decision-making. However, when applied to specialized domains like chip design, they face unique challenges. Domain-adapted models, such as NVIDIA’s ChipNeMo, often struggle with instruction alignment—the ability to follow precise human commands. This limitation reduces their effectiveness in tasks like generating accurate… →

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is now an integral ingredient in automating tasks in various industries, gaining immense efficiency and better decision-making benefits. Autonomy in agents has developed the capability to work independently to achieve specific functionalities, such as controlling smart home appliances or managing data in complex systems. The idea behind these autonomy features is to… →
