Tactile sensing plays a crucial role in robotics, helping machines understand and interact with their environment effectively. However, the current state of vision-based tactile sensors poses significant challenges. The diversity of sensors—ranging in shape, lighting, and surface markings—makes it difficult to build a universal solution. Traditional models are often developed and designed specifically for certain tasks or sensors, which makes scaling these solutions across different applications

In recent times, large language models (LLMs) built on the Transformer architecture have shown remarkable abilities across a wide range of tasks. However, these impressive capabilities usually come with a significant increase in model size, resulting in substantial GPU memory costs during inference. The KV cache is a popular method used in LLM inference.

Indeed, after obtaining a neural network that accurately predicts all the test data, it remains useless unless it’s made accessible to the world. Model deployment is the process of making a model accessible and usable in production environments, where it can generate predictions and provide real-time insig

A key question about LLMs is whether they solve reasoning tasks by learning transferable algorithms or simply memorizing training data. This distinction matters: while memorization might handle familiar tasks, true algorithmic understanding allows for broader generalization. Arithmetic reasoning tasks could reveal if LLMs apply learned algorithms, like vertical addition in human learning, or if they rely on memorized patterns from training data.

Quantization is an essential technique in machine learning for compressing model data, which enables the efficient operation of large language models (LLMs). As the size and complexity of these models expand, they increasingly demand vast storage and memory resources, making their deployment a challenge on limited hardware. Quantization directly addresses these challenges by reducing the memory footprint of models, making them accessible for more diverse applications, from complex natural langua

The Evidence Lower Bound (ELBO) is a key objective for training generative models like Variational Autoencoders (VAEs). It parallels neuroscience, aligning with the Free Energy Principle (FEP) for brain function. This shared objective hints at a potential unified machine learning and neuroscience theory. However, both ELBO and FEP lack prescriptive specificity, partly due to limitations in standard Gaussian assumptions in models, which don’t align with neural circuit behaviors.

Robots are a cornerstone of a smart factory, automating a wide range of manufacturing tasks that are monotonous, physically straining, or even hazardous. However, real-world robotics deployments have not lived up to the revolutionary potential the industrial sector had originally envisioned. Robot implementations are typically confined to specific applications, carry high costs, and are time-consuming.

The ability to generate accurate conclusions based on data inputs is essential for strong reasoning and dependable performance in Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems. The softmax function is a crucial element that supports this functionality in modern AI models. A major component of differentiable query-key lookups is the softmax function, which enables the model to concentrate on pertinent portions of the input data in a way that can be improved or learned over time.
