The rise of generative AI (GenAI) technologies presents enterprises with a pivotal decision: should they buy a ready-made solution or build a custom one? This decision hinges on several critical factors, each influencing the investment’s outcome and the solution’s effectiveness. Below are the top five factors businesses should consider when making this decision. 1. Use…
At the moment, many subfields of computer vision are dominated by large-scale vision models. Newly developed state-of-the-art models for tasks such as semantic segmentation, object detection, and image classification exceed today’s hardware capabilities. These models have stunning performance, but the hefty computational costs mean they are rarely employed in real-world applications. To tackle this issue,…
Introduction to Overfitting and Dropout: Overfitting is a common challenge when training large neural networks on limited data. It occurs when a model performs exceptionally well on training data but fails to generalize to unseen test data. This problem arises because the network’s feature detectors become too specialized for the training data, developing complex dependencies…
Large language models (LLMs) have gained significant attention for their ability to store vast amounts of factual knowledge within their weights during pretraining. This capability has led to promising results in knowledge-intensive tasks, particularly factual question-answering. However, a critical challenge persists: LLMs often generate plausible but incorrect responses to queries, undermining their reliability. This inconsistency…
Self-supervised learning (SSL) has expanded the reach of speech technologies to many languages by minimizing the need for labeled data. However, current models only support 100-150 of the world’s 7,000+ languages. This limitation is largely due to the scarcity of transcribed speech, as only about half of these languages have formal writing systems, and even…
Generative AI jailbreaking involves crafting prompts that trick the AI into ignoring its safety guidelines, allowing the user to potentially generate harmful or unsafe content the model was designed to avoid. Jailbreaking could enable users to access instructions for illegal activities, like creating weapons or hacking systems, or provide access to sensitive data that the…
