That's the future being shaped by researchers at the University of Virginia's School of Engineering and Applied Science with their latest breakthrough: an AI-driven intelligent video analyzer capable of detecting human actions in video footage with unprecedented precision and intelligence.
- Researchers develop a new generative adversarial networks model that stabilizes training and performance
In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning models have advanced rapidly, becoming easily accessible. This has enabled people, even those without specialized expertise, to perform various tasks with AI. Among these models, generative adversarial networks (GANs) stand out for their outstanding performance in generating new data instances with the same characteristics as the training data, making them particularly effective for generating images, music, and text.
- Microsoft’s Differential Transformer cancels attention noise in LLMs
A simple change to the attention mechanism can make LLMs much more effective at finding relevant information in their context window.
