Computational social science (CSS) leverages advanced computational techniques to analyze and interpret vast amounts of social data. This field increasingly relies on natural language processing (NLP) methods to handle unstructured text data. However, while large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized CSS by enabling rapid and sophisticated text analysis, their integration into practical applications remains a…
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an all-encompassing method of representing built assets using geometric and semantic data. This data can be used throughout a building’s lifetime and shared in dedicated forms throughout project stakeholders. Current building information modeling (BIM) authoring software considers various design needs. Because of this unified strategy, the software now includes many…
Mental health profoundly impacts individuals’ quality of life, yet accessing mental health services can be challenging due to stigma, insufficient workforce, and fragmented care systems. NLP has demonstrated its potential in this area, with models developed to detect symptoms and evaluate depression from clinical texts. Language models like BERT have also been adapted for classifying…
Professionals and enthusiasts in the finance industry need to have dependable tools for accessing and analyzing large amounts of data in order to track macroeconomic trends, cryptocurrency, equities markets, and forex. A comprehensive platform that gathers all this data in one location is essential. Many existing platforms are expensive or restrict data access and user…
The year 2023 witnessed a rapid rise in generative AI, which has led to the development of numerous AI applications designed to tackle various tasks. Despite their power, these tools often face a significant challenge: integration into daily life. Implementing AI into daily routines can be challenging, making it less effective despite its potential. Meet…
Dense Retrieval (DR) models are an advanced method in information retrieval (IR) that uses deep learning techniques to map passages and queries into an embedding space. The model can determine the semantic relationships between them by comparing the embeddings of the query and the passages using this embedding space. DR models seek to strike a…
Text-to-SQL conversion is a vital aspect of Natural Language Processing (NLP) that enables users to query databases using everyday language rather than technical SQL commands. This process is highly significant as it allows individuals to interact with complex databases seamlessly, regardless of their technical expertise. The challenge lies between natural language queries and the structured…
Achieving high-fidelity waveform generation in audio synthesis is a significant challenge, particularly due to the slow inference times associated with traditional models like Conditional Flow Matching (CFM), which require numerous Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE) steps. While excellent in quality, these models are often too slow for real-time use. To solve this problem, a team of…
High-fidelity waveform generation, particularly in text-to-speech (TTS) and audio generation applications, involves several critical challenges. Accurately generating natural-sounding audio remains a primary issue, essential for real-world deployment. Capturing the natural periodicity of high-resolution waveforms and producing high-quality output without artifacts such as metallic sounds or hissing noises is difficult. Additionally, slow inference speed limits the…
Cloud AI infrastructure is vital to modern technology, providing the backbone for various AI workloads and services. Ensuring the reliability of these infrastructures is crucial, as any failure can lead to widespread disruption, particularly in large-scale distributed systems where AI workloads are synchronized across numerous nodes. This synchronization means that a failure in one node…
