UCLA Researchers Released OpenVLThinker-7B: A Reinforcement Learning Driven Model for Enhancing Complex Visual Reasoning and Step-by-Step Problem Solving in Multimodal Systems
Large vision-language models (LVLMs) integrate large language models with image processing capabilities, enabling them to interpret images and generate coherent textual responses. While they excel at recognizing visual objects and responding to prompts, they often falter when presented with problems requiring multi-step reasoning. Vision-language tasks like understanding charts, solving visual math questions, or interpreting diagrams… Read more

A Step by Step Guide to Solve 1D Burgers’ Equation with Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs): A PyTorch Approach Using Automatic Differentiation and Collocation Methods
In this tutorial, we explore an innovative approach that blends deep learning with physical laws by leveraging Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) to solve the one-dimensional Burgers’ equation. Using PyTorch on Google Colab, we demonstrate how to encode the governing differential equation directly into the neural network’s loss function, allowing the model to learn the solution… Read more
