TIME Framework: A Novel Machine Learning Unifying Framework Breaking Down Temporal Model Merging
Model Merging allows one to leverage the expertise of specific fine-tuned models as a single powerful entity. The concept is straightforward: teach variants of a base foundation model on independent tasks until they become experts, and then assemble these experts as one. However, new concepts, domains, and tasks are emerging at an ever-increasing rate, leaving…

Researchers from UCLA and Apple Introduce STIV: A Scalable AI Framework for Text and Image Conditioned Video Generation
Video generation has improved with models like Sora, which uses the Diffusion Transformer (DiT) architecture. While text-to-video (T2V) models have advanced, they often find it hard to create clear and consistent videos without extra references. Text-image-to-video (TI2V) models address this limitation by using an initial image frame as grounding to improve clarity. Reaching Sora-level performance…

Yale Researchers Propose AsyncLM: An Artificial Intelligence System for Asynchronous LLM Function Calling
LLMs enable interactions with external tools and data sources, such as weather APIs or calculators, through function calls, unlocking diverse applications like autonomous AI agents and neurosymbolic reasoning systems. However, the current synchronous approach to function calling, where LLMs pause token generation until the execution of each call is complete, could be more resource-intensive and…

MosAIC: A Multi-Agent AI Framework for Cross-Cultural Image Captioning
Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) excel in many vision-language tasks, but their effectiveness needs to improve in cross-cultural contexts. This is because they need to counterbalance the bias in their training datasets and methodologies, preventing a rich array of cultural elements from being properly represented in image captions. Overcoming this limitation will help to make artificial…
