Google AI Researchers Propose Astute RAG: A Novel RAG Approach to Deal with the Imperfect Retrieval Augmentation and Knowledge Conflicts of LLMs
Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) has become a key technique in enhancing the capabilities of LLMs by incorporating external knowledge into their outputs. RAG methods enable LLMs to access additional information from external sources, such as web-based databases, scientific literature, or domain-specific corpora, which improves their performance in knowledge-intensive tasks. RAG systems can generate more contextually accurate…

Researchers from UCSD and Adobe Introduce Presto!: An AI Approach to Inference Acceleration for Score-based Diffusion Transformers via Reducing both Sampling Steps and Cost Per Step
Text-to-Audio (TTA) and Text-to-Music (TTM) generation have seen significant advancements in recent years, driven by audio-domain diffusion models. These models have demonstrated superior audio modeling capabilities compared to generative adversarial networks (GANs) and variational autoencoders (VAEs). However, diffusion models face the challenge of long inference times due to their iterative denoising process. This results in…
