Over the past few years, AI has profoundly impacted how we use commonplace applications like Microsoft Excel. Excel Tools driven by AI have completely changed the data management game. These Excel AI Tools streamline Excel processes with intelligent technologies. They can clean up sloppy data, predict patterns, and provide recommendations for data presentation. It’s like…
Vision-Language Models are a pivotal advancement in artificial intelligence, integrating the domains of computer vision and natural language processing. These models facilitate a range of applications, including image captioning, visual question answering, and generating images from text prompts, significantly enhancing human-computer interaction capabilities. A key challenge in vision-language modeling is aligning the high-dimensional visual data…
The primary goal of Sign Language Production (SLP) is to create sign avatars that resemble humans using text inputs. The standard procedure for SLP methods based on deep learning involves several steps. First, the text is translated into gloss, a language that represents postures and gestures. This gloss is then used to generate a video…
Despite the advancement of artificial intelligence in the field of medical science, these systems have limited application. This limitation creates a gap in developing AI solutions for specific tasks. Researchers from Harvard Medical School, USA; Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research, India; and Scripps Research Translational Institute, USA, proposed MedVersa to address the…
Self-supervised features are central to modern machine learning, typically requiring extensive human effort for data collection and curation, similar to supervised learning. Self-supervised learning (SSL) allows models to be trained without human annotations, enabling scalable data and model expansion. However, scaling efforts have sometimes resulted in subpar performance due to issues like the long-tail distribution…
Recent years have seen significant advances in neural language models, particularly Large Language Models (LLMs) enabled by the Transformer architecture and increased scale. LLMs exhibit exceptional skills in generating grammatical text, answering questions, summarising content, creating imaginative outputs, and solving complex puzzles. A key capability is in-context learning (ICL), where the model uses novel task…
Human activities increasingly threaten wildlife’s role in maintaining ecosystem balance, highlighting the critical need for large-scale biodiversity monitoring. Addressing the logistical challenges of fieldwork and data collection, especially in remote and biodiverse regions, has led to the deployment of automated data collection devices. These include camera traps, autonomous recording units, and overhead cameras on drones…
Large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT-4 and Claude-3 Opus excel in tasks such as code generation, data analysis, and reasoning. Their growing influence in decision-making across various domains makes it crucial to align them with human preferences to ensure fairness and sound economic decisions. Human preferences vary widely due to cultural backgrounds and personal experiences,…
