​​PaLM-E: An Embodied Multimodal Language Model

In this paper, the authors introduce the concept of "embodied language models," which integrate real-world sensory information with language processing. This integration enables the models to perform tasks related to robotics and perception seamlessly.

To achieve this, the models are trained end-to-end using a large language model and multiple sensory inputs, including visual and textual information. These models can tackle complex tasks such as sequential robotic manipulation planning, visual question answering, and captioning. The results of evaluations demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach, including positive transfer across different domains.

The flagship model, PaLM-E-562B, is the crown jewel of this research. It excels in robotics tasks and delivers state-of-the-art performance on OK-VQA. Despite its specialization in robotics, this model maintains its generalist language capabilities.

​​In-Context Instruction Learning

The authors introduce a novel approach called In-Context Instruction Learning (ICIL), which greatly enhances zero-shot task generalization performance for both pretrained and instruction-fine-tuned models. ICIL employs a single fixed prompt to evaluate all tasks, which is a concatenation of cross-task demonstrations. The authors demonstrate that even the most powerful instruction-fine-tuned baseline (text-davinci-003) benefits from ICIL by 9.3%, indicating that the effect of ICIL is complementary to instruction-based fine-tuning.

​​LLaMA: Open and Efficient Foundation Language Models

LLaMA is a set of large language models, ranging from 7B to 65B parameters, that have been trained on publicly available datasets containing trillions of tokens. The LLaMA-13B model performs better than GPT-3 (175B) on most benchmarks, and the LLaMA-65B model is competitive with other state-of-the-art models, such as Chinchilla70B and PaLM-540B. This suggests that it is possible to achieve excellent performance in language modeling without relying on proprietary or inaccessible datasets.

​​Scaling Vision Transformers to 22 Billion Parameters

Google Research authors present a recipe for training a highly efficient and stable Vision Transformer (ViT-22B) with 22B parameters, the largest dense ViT model to date. Experiments reveal that as the model's scale increases, its performance on downstream tasks improves. Additionally, ViT-22B shows an improved tradeoff between fairness and performance, state-of-the-art alignment with human visual perception in terms of shape/texture bias, and improved robustness. The authors suggest that ViT-22B demonstrates the potential for achieving “LLM-like” scaling in vision models and takes important steps toward that goal.

Experiments across three datasets show that this method improves the performance of well-tuned ViT models, and qualitative experiments support this.

​​Cut and Learn for Unsupervised Object Detection and Instance Segmentation

CutLER (Cut-and-LEaRn) is a new approach for training unsupervised object detection and segmentation models without using any human labels. It uses a combination of a MaskCut approach to generate object masks and a robust loss function to learn a detector. The model is simple and compatible with different detection architectures and can detect multiple objects. It is a zero-shot detector, meaning it performs well without additional in-domain data and is robust against domain shifts across various types of images. CutLER can also be used as a pretrained model for supervised detection and improves performance on few-shot benchmarks. Results show improved performance over previous work, including being a zero-shot unsupervised detector and surpassing other low-shot detectors with finetuning.

​​StyleGAN-T: Unlocking the Power of GANs for Fast Large-Scale Text-to-Image Synthesis

In this paper, the authors propose StyleGAN-T, a model designed for large-scale text-to-image synthesis. With its large capacity, stable training on diverse datasets, strong text alignment, and controllable variation-text alignment tradeoff, StyleGAN-T outperforms previous GANs and even surpasses distilled diffusion models, the previous frontrunners in fast text-to-image synthesis in terms of sample quality and speed.

StyleGAN-T achieves a better zero-shot MS COCO FID than current state of-the-art diffusion models at a resolution of 64×64. At 256×256, StyleGAN-T halves the zero-shot FID previously achieved by a GAN but continues to trail SOTA diffusion models.

Software Vulnerability Prediction Knowledge Transferring Between Programming Languages

One of the biggest challenges in this area is the lack of code samples for all different programming languages. In this study, authors address this issue by proposing a transfer learning technique to leverage available datasets and generate a model to detect common vulnerabilities in different programming languages. They use C source code samples to train a CNN model, then, they use Java source code samples to adopt and evaluate the learned model. The authors use code samples from two benchmark datasets: NIST Software Assurance Reference Dataset (SARD) and Draper VDISC dataset. The results show that proposed model detects vulnerabilities in both C and Java codes with average recall of 72%.

​​Visual ChatGPT: Talking, Drawing and Editing with Visual Foundation Models

ChatGPT is a language interface with distinctive conversational competency and reasoning capabilities across many domains. However, it is currently unable to process or generate images from the visual world. To address this limitation, the authors propose a system called Visual ChatGPT that incorporates different Visual Foundation Models to enable users to interact with ChatGPT using both language and images. The system is capable of handling complex visual questions or instructions that require multiple AI models and steps. Additionally, it allows for feedback and corrections.

Rather than creating a new multimodal ChatGPT from scratch, the authors propose building Visual ChatGPT by incorporating various (22) Visual Foundation Models (VFMs) directly into ChatGPT. To facilitate the integration of these VFMs, the authors introduce a Prompt Manager that supports several functions. These include specifying the input-output formats of each VFM, converting visual information to language format, and managing the histories, priorities, and conflicts of different VFMs. With the Prompt Manager's help, ChatGPT can use these VFMs iteratively and receive their feedback until it satisfies the users' requirements or reaches the end condition.

Hot news: https://ai.facebook.com/blog/large-language-model-llama-meta-ai/

Training smaller foundation models like LLaMA is desirable in the large language model space because it requires far less computing power and resources to test new approaches, validate others’ work, and explore new use cases. Foundation models train on a large set of unlabeled data, which makes them ideal for fine-tuning for a variety of tasks. We are making LLaMA available at several sizes (7B, 13B, 33B, and 65B parameters) and also sharing a LLAMA model card that details how we built the model in keeping with our approach to Responsible AI practices.

In particular, LLaMA-13B outperforms GPT-3 (175B) on most benchmarks, and LLaMA-65B is competitive with the best models, Chinchilla70B and PaLM-540B. We release all our models to the research community.

GPT-3 for self-therapy

Just came across an interesting article about using #GPT-3 to analyze past journal entries and summarize therapy sessions for gaining new perspectives on personal struggles. Dan Shipper loaded person journal into the neural network so he could ask different questions, including asking about his own Myers-Briggs personality type (INTJ for those who wondered).

It's a powerful example of how AI tools can help individuals become more productive, effective, and happy. As we continue to see the integration of #AI in various industries, it's important for modern blue collar workers to learn how to properly work with these tools in order to stay at the peak of efficiency.

Let's embrace the future and learn to use AI to our advantage rather than to spread FUD about AI replacing workforce. It won’t but it will enable some people to achieve more and be way more productive.
