Large language models can’t effectively recognize users’ motivation, but can support behavior change for those ready to act

stp2y0 CommentsGenAIBehavior; Social Psychology; Child Development; Language Acquisition; Computer Modeling; Artificial Intelligence; Mathematical Modeling; Information Technology

Large language model-based chatbots have the potential to promote healthy changes in behavior. But researchers from the ACTION Lab at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have found that the artificial intelligence tools don't effectively recognize certain motivational states of users and therefore don't provide them with appropriate information. Michelle Bak, a doctoral student in information sciences, and information sciences professor Jessie Chin reported their research in the Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association. Large language model-based chatbots -- also known as generative conversational agents -- have been used increasingly in healthcare for patient education, assessment and management. Bak and…

AmazUtah_NLP at SemEval-2024 Task 9: A MultiChoice Question Answering System for Commonsense Defying Reasoning

stp2y0 CommentsViral News

arXiv:2405.10385v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The SemEval 2024 BRAINTEASER task represents a pioneering venture in Natural Language Processing (NLP) by focusing on lateral thinking, a dimension of cognitive reasoning that is often overlooked in traditional linguistic analyses. This challenge comprises of Sentence Puzzle and Word Puzzle subtasks and aims to test language models' capacity for divergent thinking. In this paper, we present our approach to the BRAINTEASER task. We employ a holistic strategy by leveraging cutting-edge pre-trained models in multiple choice architecture, and diversify the training data with Sentence and Word Puzzle datasets. To gain further improvement, we fine-tuned the…

In July last year, OpenAI announced the formation of a new research team that would prepare for the advent of supersmart artificial intelligence capable of outwitting and overpowering its creators. Ilya Sutskever, OpenAI’s chief scientist and one of the company’s cofounders, was named as the colead of this new team. OpenAI said the team would receive 20 percent of its computing power.Now OpenAI’s “superalignment team” is no more, the company confirms. That comes after the departures of several researchers involved, Tuesday’s news that Sutskever was leaving the company, and the resignation of the team’s other colead. The group’s work will…

Building Generative AI prompt chaining workflows with human in the loop | Amazon Web Services

stp2y0 CommentsAI

Generative AI is a type of artificial intelligence (AI) that can be used to create new content, including conversations, stories, images, videos, and music. Like all AI, generative AI works by using machine learning models—very large models that are pretrained on vast amounts of data called foundation models (FMs). FMs are trained on a broad spectrum of generalized and unlabeled data. They’re capable of performing a wide variety of general tasks with a high degree of accuracy based on input prompts. Large language models (LLMs) are one class of FMs. LLMs are specifically focused on language-based tasks such as summarization, text…

Modeling Extremely Large Images with xT

As computer vision researchers, we believe that every pixel can tell a story. However, there seems to be a writer’s block settling into the field when it comes to dealing with large images. Large images are no longer rare—the cameras we carry in our pockets and those orbiting our planet snap pictures so big and detailed that they stretch our current best models and hardware to their breaking points when handling them. Generally, we face a quadratic increase in memory usage as a function of image size. Today, we make one of two sub-optimal choices when handling large images: down-sampling…
