Latest AI News
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the field developing computers and robots capable of parsing data contextually to provide requested information, supply analysis, or trigger events based on findings. Through techniques like machine learning and neural networks, companies globally are investing in teaching machines to ‘think’ more like humans. Below are some of the latest AI news from the industry:

SceneScout: Towards AI Agent-driven Access to Street View Imagery for Blind Users
People who are blind or have low vision (BLV) may hesitate to travel independently in unfamiliar environments due to uncertainty about the physical landscape. While most tools focus on in-situ navigation, those exploring pre-travel assistance typically provide only landmarks and turn-by-turn instructions, lacking detailed visual context. Street view imagery, ...

Soup-of-Experts: Pretraining Specialist Models via Parameters Averaging
Large-scale models are routinely trained on a mixture of different data sources. Different data mixtures yield very different downstream performances. We propose a novel architecture that can instantiate one model for each data mixture without having to re-train the model. Our architecture consists of a bank of expert weights, which are linearly combined to ...

Is Your Model Fairly Certain? Uncertainty-Aware Fairness Evaluation for LLMs
The recent rapid adoption of large language models (LLMs) highlights the critical need for benchmarking their fairness. Conventional fairness metrics, which focus on discrete accuracy-based evaluations (i.e., prediction correctness), fail to capture the implicit impact of model uncertainty (e.g., higher model confidence about one group over another despite s ...

Understanding Input Selectivity in Mamba
State-Space Models (SSMs), and particularly Mamba, have recently emerged as a promising alternative to Transformers. Mamba introduces input selectivity to its SSM layer (S6) and incorporates convolution and gating into its block definition. While these modifications do improve Mamba's performance over its SSM predecessors, it remains largely unclear how Mamb ...

Transforming network operations with AI: How Swisscom built a network assistant using Amazon Bedrock
In the telecommunications industry, managing complex network infrastructures requires processing vast amounts of data from multiple sources. Network engineers often spend considerable time manually gathering and analyzing this data, taking away valuable hours that could be spent on strategic initiatives. This challenge led Swisscom, Switzerland’s leading tel ...

End-to-End model training and deployment with Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio
Although rapid generative AI advancements are revolutionizing organizational natural language processing tasks, developers and data scientists face significant challenges customizing these large models. These hurdles include managing complex workflows, efficiently preparing large datasets for fine-tuning, implementing sophisticated fine-tuning techniques whi ...
