Meta’s new AI model to improve translation quality

Meta has unveiled NLLB-200, a new AI model that can translate 200 languages and improves quality by 44 percent on average. For a long time, translation apps have been fairly adept at the most common languages. Even if they do not provide an exact translation, it is usually close enough for the native speaker to understand. However, hundreds of millions of people in multilingual regions such as Africa and Asia continue to be underserved by translation services. In a press release, Meta wrote: “To help people connect better today and…

Designing next generation analog chipsets for AI applications

The Indian Institute of Science (IISc) has developed a design framework for next-generation analog computing chipsets that could be quicker and use less power than the digital chips found in most electronic gadgets. The team developed a prototype of an analog chipset dubbed ARYABHAT-1 using their new design methodology (Analog Reconfigurable Technology And Bias-scalable Hardware for AI Tasks). This type of chipset is very useful for AI-based applications such as object or speech recognition (think Alexa or Siri) or those that demand enormous parallel computing operations at fast speeds. Since…

Breaking AIs to make them better

Today’s artificial intelligence systems for image recognition are incredibly powerful, with enormous commercial potential. Nonetheless, current artificial neural networks (the deep learning algorithms that power image recognition) have a major flaw: they are easily broken by images that have been slightly modified. This lack of ‘robustness’ is a significant barrier for researchers attempting to develop better AIs. However, the exact cause of this phenomenon, as well as the underlying mechanisms, are largely unknown. Researchers at Kyushu University‘s Faculty of Information Science and Electrical Engineering published in PLOS ONE a method…
