The integration of visual and textual data in artificial intelligence presents a complex challenge. Traditional models often struggle to interpret structured visual documents such as tables, charts, infographics, and diagrams with precision. This limitation affects automated content extraction and comprehension, which are crucial for applications in data analysis, information retrieval, and decision-making. As organizations increasingly… →
After the success of large language models (LLMs), the current research extends beyond text-based understanding to multimodal reasoning tasks. These tasks integrate vision and language, which is essential for artificial general intelligence (AGI). Cognitive benchmarks such as PuzzleVQA and AlgoPuzzleVQA evaluate AI’s ability to process abstract visual information and algorithmic reasoning. Even with advancements, LLMs… →
Reinforcement learning (RL) for large language models (LLMs) has traditionally relied on outcome-based rewards, which provide feedback only on the final output. This sparsity of reward makes it challenging to train models that need multi-step reasoning, like those employed in mathematical problem-solving and programming. Additionally, credit assignment becomes ambiguous, as the model does not get… →
Aligning large language models (LLMs) with human values remains difficult due to unclear goals, weak training signals, and the complexity of human intent. Direct Alignment Algorithms (DAAs) offer a way to simplify this process by optimizing models directly without relying on reward modeling or reinforcement learning. These algorithms use different ranking methods, such as comparing… →
LLM inference is highly resource-intensive, requiring substantial memory and computational power. To address this, various model parallelism strategies distribute workloads across multiple GPUs, reducing memory constraints and speeding up inference. Tensor parallelism (TP) is a widely used technique that partitions weights and activations across GPUs, enabling them to process a single request collaboratively. Unlike data… →
CONCLUSION: This study presents a novel surgical endoscopy technique for closing direct medial inguinal hernia defects and provides anatomical feasibility. The advantages of the technique include preventing seromas and severe postoperative pain. Further randomized studies are warranted to assess long-term results of this technique and establish clinical indications for its use in surgical practice. →
CONCLUSION: Cicaglocal can enhance wound healing and lead to improved clinical outcomes following Mohs micrographic surgery. →
CONCLUSIONS: Olaparib does not have sufficient single-agent activity to warrant further development in IDH-mutant CCA. However, a subgroup of patients demonstrated CB, and exploratory analysis revealed this subgroup to be enriched for lower baseline 2-HG levels. Future clinical trials leveraging the HRD properties of IDH mutations are warranted with enhanced patient selection and novel combination… →
CONCLUSION: Alemtuzumab was feasible to administer in adults with ALL receiving intensive chemotherapy, but was without evidence of benefit. →
Large Language Models (LLMs) such as GPT, Gemini, and Claude utilize vast training datasets and complex architectures to generate high-quality responses. However, optimizing their inference-time computation remains challenging, as increasing model size leads to higher computational costs. Researchers continue to explore strategies that maximize efficiency while maintaining or improving model performance. One widely adopted approach… →
