The open-source community and developers everywhere are no strangers to the challenges that come with software release management. From maintaining consistency in how releases are handled across different repositories to the tedious and error-prone manual processes involved, releasing new versions of software can be a daunting task. Jupyter, the popular open-source project behind Jupyter Notebook… →
Large Language Models (LLMs) have revolutionized long-context question answering (LCQA), a complex task requiring reasoning over extensive documents to provide accurate answers. While recent long-context LLMs like Gemini and GPT4-128k can process entire documents directly, they struggle with the “lost in the middle” phenomenon, where relevant information in the middle of documents often leads to… →
Knowledge Graph (KG) synthesis is gaining traction in artificial intelligence research because it can construct structured knowledge representations from expansive, unstructured text data. These structured graphs have pivotal applications in areas requiring information retrieval and reasoning, such as question answering, complex data summarization, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). KGs effectively link and organize information, enabling models… →

Probabilistic diffusion models have become essential for generating complex data structures such as images & videos. These models transform random noise into structured data, achieving high realism and utility across various domains. The model operates through two phases: a forward phase that gradually corrupts data with noise and a reverse phase that systematically reconstructs coherent… →
When applying Reinforcement Learning (RL) to real-world applications, two key challenges are often faced during this process. Firstly, the constant online interaction and update cycle in RL places major engineering demands on large systems designed to work with static ML models needing only occasional offline updates. Secondly, RL algorithms usually start from scratch, relying solely… →
Geometry problem-solving relies heavily on advanced reasoning skills to interpret visual inputs, process questions, and apply mathematical formulas accurately. Although vision-language models (VLMs) have shown progress in multimodal tasks, they still face significant limitations with geometry, particularly in executing unfamiliar mathematical operations, like calculating the cosine of non-standard angles. This challenge is amplified due to… →
The efficient training of vision models is still a major challenge in AI because Transformer-based models suffer from computational bottlenecks due to the quadratic complexity of self-attention mechanisms. Also, the ViTs, although extremely promising results on hard vision tasks, require extensive computational and memory resources, making them impossible to use under real-time or resource-constrained conditions.… →
