DALL·E: Creating Images from Text

This architecture is capable of understanding style descriptions as well as complex relationship between objects in context.

That opens whole new perspective for digital agencies, potentially threatening stock photo sites and new opportunies for regulations and lawers to work on.

Interesting times!

SEER: The start of a more powerful, flexible, and accessible era for computer vision

#SEER stands for SElf-supERvised architecture which follows the vision of Yan LeCunn that real breakthrough in quality of models is possible only with #selfsupervised learning.

And here it is — model which was trained using some enormous amount of data achieves 84.2 percent top-1 accuracy on ImageNet.

Paramus: 1.3B
Dataset: 1B random images
Hardware: 512 GPUs (unspecified)

🏥Self-supervised Learning for Medical images

Due to standard imaging procedures, medical images (X-ray, CT scans, etc) are usually well aligned.
This paper gives an opportunity to utilize such an alignment to automatically connect similar pairs of images for training.

​​Program Synthesis with Large Language Models

Paper compares models used for program synthesis in general purpose programming languages against two new benchmarks, MBPP (The Mostly Basic Programming Problems) and MathQA-Python, in both the few-shot and fine-tuning regimes.

MBPP contains 974 programming tasks, designed to be solvable by entry-level programmers. MathQA benchmark, contains 23914 problems that evaluate the ability of the models to synthesize code from more complex text.

Largest fine-tuned model achieves 83.8 percent accuracy on the latter benchmark.

Why this is interesting: better models for code / problem understanding means improved search for the coding tasks and the improvement of the coding-assistant projects like #TabNine or #Copilot

Imagen — new neural network for picture generation from Google

TLDR: Competitor of DALLE was released.

Imagen — text-to-image diffusion model with an unprecedented degree of photorealism and a deep level of language understanding. Imagen builds on the power of large transformer language models in understanding text and hinges on the strength of diffusion models in high-fidelity image generation. #Google key discovery is that generic large language models (e.g. T5), pretrained on text-only corpora, are surprisingly effective at encoding text for image synthesis: increasing the size of the language model in Imagen boosts both sample fidelity and image-text alignment much more than increasing the size of the image diffusion model.

​​No Language Left Behind
Scaling Human-Centered Machine Translation

No Language Left Behind (NLLB) is a first-of-its-kind, AI breakthrough project that open-sources models capable of delivering high-quality translations directly between any pair of 200+ languages — including low-resource languages like Asturian, Luganda, Urdu and more. It aims to help people communicate with anyone, anywhere, regardless of their language preferences.

To enable the community to leverage and build on top of NLLB, the lab open source all they evaluation benchmarks (FLORES-200, NLLB-MD, Toxicity-200), LID models and training code, LASER3 encoders, data mining code, MMT training and inference code and our final NLLB-200 models and their smaller distilled versions, for easier use and adoption by the research community.
