KEY AI DEVELOPEMENTS

Mind-Video: A method that reconstructs videos from brain activity using techniques like masked brain modeling, multimodal learning and co-training with an augmented Stable Diffusion model to reconstruct high-quality videos from continuous fMRI data.

Text2NeRF: Generates realistic 3D scenes with complex geometries and detailed textures from text using NeRF and monocular depth estimation.

Video-ControlNet: A controllable text-to-video diffusion model that generates high-quality videos with fine-grained control.

RecurrentGPT: Language model that generates arbitrarily long text interactively by simulating the recurrence mechanism of RNNs.

Cross-Lingual Supervision improves LLMs Pre-training: Combining self-supervised language modeling with supervised machine translation improves LLMs' pre-training by incorporating cross-lingual supervision.

Language Model Hallucinations Snowball: Language models justify false statements by producing additional incorrect claims.

CoDi: Generative model enabling parallel generation and conditioning of multiple modalities.

PEARL: Enhances LLMs' reasoning over long documents via decomposition, planning, and execution of questions.

QLoRA: An efficient finetuning method that reduces memory usage, allowing to finetune a 65B parameter model on a single 48GB GPU.

Training Diffusion Models with Reinforcement Learning: Optimizes diffusion models without additional data or human annotation.

CRITIC: Allows LLMs to self-correct by interacting with external interactive tools, improving their performance through external feedback.

AudioToken: Adapts text-conditioned diffusion models for generating images from audio recordings, using a new token as an adaptation layer.
