Vision Language Models (VLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in generating human-like text in response to images, with notable examples including GPT-4, Gemini, PaLiGemma, LLaVA, and Llama 3 Vision models. However, these models frequently generate hallucinated content that lacks proper grounding in the reference images, highlighting a critical flaw in their output reliability. The challenge of…
Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown remarkable potential in solving complex real-world problems, from function calls to embodied planning and code generation. A critical capability for LLM agents is decomposing complex problems into executable subtasks through workflows, which serve as intermediate states to improve debugging and interpretability. While workflows provide prior knowledge to prevent hallucinations,…
In the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, one of the most persistent challenges has been bridging the gap between machines and human-like interaction. Modern AI models excel in text generation, image understanding, and even creating visual content, but speech—the primary medium of human communication—presents unique hurdles. Traditional speech recognition systems, though advanced, often struggle with…
In recent years, AI-driven workflows and automation have advanced remarkably. Yet, building complex, scalable, and efficient agentic workflows remains a significant challenge. The complexities of controlling agents, managing their states, and integrating them seamlessly with broader applications are far from straightforward. Developers need tools that not only manage the logic of agent states but also…
AI agents have become essential tools for navigating web environments and performing online shopping, project management, and content browsing. Typically, these agents simulate human actions, such as clicks and scrolls, on websites primarily designed for visual, human interaction. Although practical, this method of web navigation poses limitations for machine efficiency, especially when tasks involve interacting…
Large Language Models (LLMs) have potential applications in education, healthcare, mental health support, and other domains. However, their accuracy and consistency in following user instructions determine how valuable they are. Even small departures from directions might have serious repercussions in high-stakes situations, such as those involving delicate medical or psychiatric guidance. The ability of LLMs…
Federated Learning is a distributed method of Machine Learning that puts user privacy first by storing data locally and never centralizing it on a server. Numerous applications have successfully used this technique, especially those requiring sensitive data like healthcare and banking. Each training round in classical federated learning involves a complete update of all model…
Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems blend retrieval and generation processes to address the complexities of answering open-ended, multi-dimensional questions. By accessing relevant documents and knowledge, RAG-based models generate answers with additional context, offering richer insights than generative-only models. This approach is useful in fields where responses must reflect a broad knowledge base, such as legal research…
A major challenge in AI research is how to develop models that can balance fast, intuitive reasoning with slower, more detailed reasoning in an efficient way. Human cognition operates by using two systems: System 1, which is fast and intuitive, and System 2, which is slow but more analytical. In AI models, this dichotomy between…
Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a rapidly growing field that deals with the interaction between computers and human language. As NLP continues to advance, there is a growing need for skilled professionals to develop innovative solutions for various applications, such as chatbots, sentiment analysis, and machine translation. To help you on your journey to mastering…
