Apple is sponsoring the annual meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL), which takes place in person from August 11 to 16, in Bangkok, Thailand. ACL is a conference in the field of computational linguistics, covering a broad spectrum of diverse research areas that are concerned with computational approaches to natural language. Below is …
This post is co-written by Kevin Plexico and Shakun Vohra from Deltek. Question and answering (Q&A) using documents is a commonly used application in various use cases like customer support chatbots, legal research assistants, and healthcare advisors. Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) has emerged as a leading method for using the power of large language models …
The vulnerabilities, which have been patched, may have novel appeal to attackers as an avenue to compromising phones.
A team of engineers at Google’s DeepMind Project has demonstrated a robot capable of playing amateur-level table tennis (ping-pong). The team has published a paper on the arXiv preprint server describing how they developed the robot, how well it performed at different ability levels and how human players responded to playing with the robot.
This paper was accepted at the 5th Workshop on Gender Bias in Natural Language Processing 2024. Machine translation (MT) systems often translate terms with ambiguous gender (e.g., English term “the nurse”) into the gendered form that is most prevalent in the systems’ training data (e.g., “enfermera”, the Spanish term for a female nurse). This often …

One hacker solved the CrowdStrike outage mystery with simple crash reports, illustrating the wealth of detail about potential bugs and vulnerabilities those key documents hold.
The $184 billion market for artificial intelligence shows no signs of slowing. A big slice of that market is organizations, from businesses to government agencies, that rely on AI to help make decisions. A 2023 study by IBM found 43% of CEOs are using AI to make strategic decisions.
Many beginners will initially rely on the train-test method to evaluate their models. This method is straightforward and seems to give a clear indication of how well a model performs on unseen data. However, this approach can often lead to an incomplete understanding of a model’s capabilities. In this blog, we’ll discuss why it’s important …

AI chatbots and virtual assistants have become increasingly popular in recent years thanks the breakthroughs of large language models (LLMs). Trained on a large volume of datasets, these models incorporate memory components in their architectural design, allowing them to understand and comprehend textual context. Most common use cases for chatbot assistants focus on a few …
