The generative AI market has expanded exponentially, yet many existing models still face limitations in adaptability, quality, and computational demands. Users often struggle to achieve high-quality output with limited resources, especially on consumer-grade hardware. Addressing these challenges requires solutions that are both powerful and adaptable for a wide range of users—from individual creators to large…
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is a growing area of research focused on improving the capabilities of large language models (LLMs) by incorporating external knowledge sources. This approach involves two primary components: a retrieval module that finds relevant external information and a generation module that uses this information to produce accurate responses. RAG is particularly useful in…
Alignment with human preferences has led to significant progress in producing honest, safe, and useful responses from Large Language Models (LLMs). Through this alignment process, the models are better equipped to comprehend and represent what humans think is suitable or important in their interactions. But, maintaining LLMs’ advancement in accordance with these inclinations is a…
Large Language Models (LLMs) have gained significant attention in data management, with applications spanning data integration, database tuning, query optimization, and data cleaning. However, analyzing unstructured data, especially complex documents, remains challenging in data processing. Recent declarative frameworks designed for LLM-based unstructured data processing focus more on reducing costs than enhancing accuracy. This creates problems…
The rapid progress of text-to-image (T2I) diffusion models has made it possible to generate highly detailed and accurate images from text inputs. However, as the length of the input text increases, current encoding methods, such as CLIP (Contrastive Language-Image Pretraining), encounter various limitations. These methods struggle to capture the full complexity of long text descriptions,…
As large language models (LLMs) become increasingly capable and better day by day, their safety has become a critical topic for research. To create a safe model, model providers usually pre-define a policy or a set of rules. These rules help to ensure the model follows a fixed set of principles, resulting in a model…
Accelerating inference in large language models (LLMs) is challenging due to their high computational and memory requirements, leading to significant financial and energy costs. Current solutions, such as sparsity, quantization, or pruning, often require specialized hardware or result in decreased model accuracy, making efficient deployment difficult. Researchers from FAIR at Meta, GenAI at Meta, Reality…
Proteins, vital macromolecules, are characterized by their amino acid sequences, which dictate their three-dimensional structures and functions in living organisms. Effective generative protein modeling requires a multimodal approach to simultaneously understand and generate sequences and structures. Current methods often rely on separate models for each modality, limiting their effectiveness. While advancements like diffusion models and…
Large language models (LLMs) can understand and generate human-like text across various applications.
