Large Language Models (LLMs) have advanced significantly in recent years. Models like ChatGPT and GPT-4 allow users to interact with and elicit natural language responses. To improve the human-machine interaction and accuracy of LLMs, it is essential to have a method to evaluate these interactions dynamically. While LLMs have shown remarkable capabilities in generating text,…
Agents based on LLMs hold promise for accelerating scientific discovery, especially in biomedical research. They leverage extensive background knowledge to design and interpret experiments, particularly useful for identifying drug targets through CRISPR-based genetic perturbation. Despite their potential, LLM-based agents have yet to be fully utilized in designing biological experiments. Challenges include balancing freedom in exploring…
Multimodal learning is a rapidly evolving field focusing on training models to understand and generate content across various modalities, including text and images. By leveraging extensive datasets, these models can align visual and textual representations within a shared embedding space, facilitating applications such as image captioning and text-to-image retrieval. This integrated approach aims to enhance…
Improving image quality and variation in diffusion models without compromising alignment with given conditions, such as class labels or text prompts, is a significant challenge. Current methods often enhance image quality at the expense of diversity, limiting their applicability in various real-world scenarios such as medical diagnosis and autonomous driving, where both high quality and…
Deep neural networks (DNNs) have achieved remarkable success across various fields, including computer vision, natural language processing, and speech recognition. This success is largely attributed to first-order optimizers like stochastic gradient descent with momentum (SGDM) and AdamW. However, these methods face challenges in efficiently training large-scale models. Second-order optimizers, such as K-FAC, Shampoo, AdaBK, and…
Nomic AI has recently unveiled two significant releases in multimodal embedding models: Nomic Embed Vision v1 and Nomic Embed Vision v1.5. These models are designed to provide high-quality, fully replicable vision embeddings that seamlessly integrate with the existing Nomic Embed Text v1 and v1.5 models. This integration creates a unified embedding space that enhances the…
Many businesses employ one of the many database management systems available today, picking the one that best suits their needs. Every service out there, be it a social media platform, a payment app, a booking service, etc., stores massive quantities of data on its server. So, it’s not surprising that database administrator positions are rising…
Mapping protein sequences to their biological functions is crucial in biology, as proteins perform diverse roles in organisms. Functions are categorized using ontologies like Gene Ontology (GO) terms, Enzyme Commission (EC) numbers, and Pfam families. Computational predictions are essential due to the cost of lab experiments and rapid database growth. Techniques include homology-based methods, which…
Query-as-a-Service (QaaS), also called serverless query processing, is a method of running analytical queries on the cloud. Serverless query engines, like AWS Athena and Google BigQuery, automate resource management and scalability operations in contrast to traditional query engines that demand a large amount of manual labor. For individuals without extensive technical knowledge, this automation greatly…
Building web applications can be challenging, especially for users unfamiliar with JavaScript, CSS, or HTML. It’s difficult to quickly create functional and visually appealing web apps, particularly when time is limited. Hence, delays in the development process can hinder productivity and innovation. Several tools are available to help with web development, such as traditional frameworks…
