Machine learning and artificial intelligence research is too much for anyone to read. The Perceptron column wants to collect some of the most relevant recent discoveries and papers and explain why they matter.

Meta claims that it is the first to be able to translate 200 different languages with state-of- the-art results. There is a machine learning model that can be used to solve quantitative reasoning issues. Godel is a language model released by Microsoft that can be used to generate realistic conversations that are similar to those found in the popular internet search engine. There are new text-to- image generators.

The company's No Language Left Behind initiative aims to develop machine-powered translation capabilities for most of the world's languages. Trained to understand languages like Kamba and Lao, as well as over 540 African languages not supported well or at all by previous translation systems, NLLB 200 will be used to translate languages on the Facebook News Feed.

The number of languages that can be translated without human expertise has already been scaled, thanks to the use of artificial intelligence. Because the systems are trained mostly on data from the internet, there can be mistakes in the translations. Bing's translator used to translate phrases like "the table is soft" as the feminine "die Tabelle" in German, which means a table of figures.

Meta said it completely overhauled its data cleaning process for NLLB 200, with major filters and lists for 200 languages. It's not clear how well it works in practice, but no system is completely free of biases.

Godel is trained on a lot of text from the web. Godel was designed to handle discussions about a wide range of topics.

Godel is able to answer a question about a restaurant or have a discussion about a topic. The system can draw on content from around the web that wasn't part of the training data set.

The same pitfalls are encountered by Godel. The team responsible for creating it notes in a paper that it may generate harmful responses due to the data used to train it. Eliminating biases is a challenge that may never be solved in the field of artificial intelligence.

The Minerva model is not as problematic as it might seem. The system was learned from a data set of 118 gigabytes of scientific papers and web pages that contained mathematical expressions to solve quantitative reasoning problems. Leading performance on popularSTEM benchmarks can be achieved by generating solutions that include numerical calculations andsymbolic manipulation.

There are other models that have been developed to solve these types of issues. A system trained to solve grade school-level math problems has been tested by Openai, as well as multiple algorithms that can aid mathematicians in complex and abstract tasks. An approach that involves "prompting" the model with several step-by-step solutions to existing questions before presenting it with a new question is one of the techniques that Minerva uses.

Sometimes it arrives at a correct answer but with faulty reasoning, and other times it does not. The team hopes that it will help push the frontiers of science and education.

The question of how artificial intelligence systems organize their knowledge is a relevant one.

A method called "semantic projection" was developed by researchers at UCLA to show if language models understand words. You can see how close the model associates the words whale and fish with other words, like mammal, large, scales, and so on. If whale associates mammals and large but not scales, it has a good idea of what it is talking about.

Animals fall on the small to large spectrum according to the model.

They found that the concept of size, gender, danger, and wetness was related to the concept of weather, wealth, and partisanship. States are genderless and animals are nonpartisan.

Text-to-image models keep getting better, even though there is no surer test as to whether a model understands some words or not. The Parti model looks to be one of the best yet, but it is hard to compare it to the competition without access. The Parti approach can be read here at any time.

The model works with increasing numbers of parameters and is shown in the write-up. As the numbers increase, you can see how the image improves.

The photo was taken in front of the Opera House with a sign on the chest that said Welcome Friends.

Does this mean that the best models will only be able to run on the most powerful computers on the planet? The next step isn't just to make it bigger and better, but to make it smaller and equivalent. Who succeeds in pulling that off will be seen.

Meta showed off a generative artificial intelligence model this week that it claims gives more agency to artists using it. Part of the fun of playing with these generators is seeing what they come up with, but they often come up with nonsensical designs or don't get the prompt. That is the aim of Meta's Make-A-Scene.

The animation was made from the same text and prompt.

It isn't an original idea, but it uses a basic silhouette of what you're talking about to generate an image.

It could be useful for artists who have a general idea of what they want to create but want to include the model's weird creativity.

Unlike most of these systems, Make-A-Scene is not available for public use. We will get good versions of these things at home.
