BioMed-VITAL: A Clinician-Aligned AI Framework for Biomedical Visual Instruction Tuning
Recent advances in multimodal foundation models like GPT-4V have shown strong performance in general visual and textual data tasks. However, adapting these models to specialized domains like biomedicine requires large, domain-specific instruction datasets. While automatic dataset generation has been explored, these datasets often need more alignment with expert knowledge, limiting their real-world applicability. Instruction tuning,…

Solving IT’s identity crisis
Identity is a surprisingly complex issue in today’s world. Battles over political identities, confusion and activism regarding gender identities, and a surfeit of identity crises dominate headlines and social discourse. As such, fellow futurist Francis Fukuyama, author of Identity: The Demand for Dignity and the Politics of Resentment, insists that “Identity is a hallmark of…

Model Collapse in the Synthetic Data Era: Analytical Insights and Mitigation Strategies
Large language models (LLMs) and image generators face a critical challenge known as model collapse. This phenomenon occurs when the performance of these AI systems deteriorates due to the increasing presence of AI-generated data in their training datasets. As generative AI evolves, evidence suggests that retraining models on their outputs can lead to various anomalies…
