VOLTRON DATA ACQUIRES CLAYPOT

The enterprise data toolkit acquired Claypot's real-time AI tools and team for an undisclosed sum. Voltron aims to continue bringing access to data to the enterprise.

FTC INVESTIGATING MICROSOFT, AMAZON, AND GOOGLE INVESTMENTS INTO OPENAI AND ANTHROPIC

The Federal Trade Commission opened an inquiry into the investments of Big Tech companies that provide cloud services to smaller AI companies like OpenAI and Anthropic.

GOOGLE’S NEW AI IS LEARNING TO DIAGNOSE PATIENTS

Google DeepMind has developed an AI model called AMIE (Articulate Medical Intelligence Explorer) to assist in healthcare. Trained on medical texts and dialogues, AMIE will provide explanations of medical conditions and potentially aid in diagnostics. AMIE outperformed human physicians in a controlled trial. Its effectiveness in real-world scenarios remains to be tested.

IMP V1 3B MULTIMODAL MODEL

Another multimodal model trained on Phi-2 and SigLIP. This one achieves extremely promising performance and is small enough to run on-device.

MATRYOSHKA REPRESENTATION LEARNING

OpenAI's new embeddings can change size based on your needs. This is theorized to be due to the nesting doll method of learning, which learns features at various granularity.

MEDICAL VIDEO SEGMENTATION

Vivim is a new framework for medical video object segmentation that effectively processes long video sequences. Vivim compresses spatiotemporal data efficiently utilizing the state space model approach, delivering faster and more accurate segmentation results compared to traditional methods.

HUGGINGFACE WEBDATASET

WebDataset is a format that combines multiple records together. Anything with the same prefix is treated as an instance. It is ideal for streaming and fast data loading.

LLMS FROM SCRATCH

An incomplete but promising set of tasks for learning how to build language models from scratch.

MULTIMODAL PATHWAY: TRANSFORMERS WITH IRRELEVANT DATA FROM OTHER MODALITIES

This project proposes a novel approach for enhancing transformers that uses unrelated data from different modalities, such as improving an image model using audio data. Multimodal Pathway uniquely connects transformers of two different modalities, allowing a target modality to benefit from the strengths of another.

EXPLORING COLBERT AND RAGATOUILLE

ColBERT is an excellent model for embedding queries and index data for RAG applications. This post explores the intuition behind the method and performs some benchmarks.

ZERO-SHOT AMODAL SEGMENTATION

Pix2Gestalt is a framework designed for zero-shot amodal segmentation. It is adept at reconstructing complete object shapes and appearances when they are partially obscured. Leveraging large-scale diffusion models, Pix2Gestalt excels in challenging scenarios, including artistic images that defy usual patterns.

DO AI SAFETY ORGS WANT TO BAN OPEN SOURCE?

Many groups are trying to grapple with the challenges that come with rapidly advancing AI technology. Some of their moves can be seen as anti-competitive. It is a complex problem with valid arguments on both sides.
