Random robots are more reliable

New algorithm encourages robots to move more randomly to collect more diverse data for learning. In tests, robots started with no knowledge and then learned and correctly performed tasks within a single attempt. New model could improve safety and practicality of self-driving cars, delivery drones and more.

When can transformers reason with abstract symbols?

We investigate the capabilities of transformer models on relational reasoning tasks. In these tasks, models are trained on a set of strings encoding abstract relations, and are then tested out-of-distribution on data that contains symbols that did not appear in the training dataset. We prove that for any relational reasoning task in a large family …

Machine listening: Making speech recognition systems more inclusive

One group commonly misunderstood by voice technology are individuals who speak African American English, or AAE. Researchers designed an experiment to test how AAE speakers adapt their speech when imagining talking to a voice assistant, compared to talking to a friend, family member, or stranger. The study tested familiar human, unfamiliar human, and voice assistant-directed …

Natural language boosts LLM performance in coding, planning and robotics

Large language models (LLMs) are becoming increasingly useful for programming and robotics tasks, but for more complicated reasoning problems, the gap between these systems and humans looms large. Without the ability to learn new concepts like humans do, these systems fail to form good abstractions—essentially, high-level representations of complex concepts that skip less-important details—and thus …

The Role of Verbal Fluency in Voice User Interfaces

The rapid advancement of Voice User Interfaces (VUIs) has underscored the importance of verbal fluency in the realm of digital interaction. But how does verbal fluency influence the usability and efficacy of a VUI (Voice user Interface)? Photo by Icons8 Team on Unsplash Verbal fluency, the ability to think of words quickly and efficiently, is paramount …
