Unique end-of-arm tools with three-dimensional force sensors and innovative control algorithms enable robotic arms to “pick” items from and “stow” items in fabric storage pods.
In 2017, IEEE Internet Computing identified a single paper from its publication history that had best withstood the test of time: a 2003 paper called “Amazon.com Recommendations: Item-to-Item Collaborative Filtering”

MLTEC 20242024The increasing popularity of wireless sensing applications has led to a growing demand for large datasets of realistic wireless data. However, collecting such wireless data is often time-consuming and expensive. To address this challenge, we propose a synthetic data generation pipeline using human mesh generated from videos that can generate data at scale. The pipeline first generates a 3D mesh of the human

2024Fine-tuning large language models (LLMs) has achieved remarkable performance across various natural language processing tasks, yet it demands more and more memory as model sizes keep growing. To address this issue, the recently proposed Memory-efficient Zeroth-order (MeZO) methods attempt to fine-tune LLMs using only forward passes, thereby avoiding the need for a backpropagation graph. However, significant

2024Set theory is foundational to mathematics and, when sets are finite, to reasoning about the world. An intelligent system should perform set operations consistently, regardless of superficial variations in the operands. Initially designed for semantically-oriented NLP tasks, large language models (LLMs) are now being evaluated on algorithmic tasks. Because sets are comprised of arbitrary symbols (e.g. numbers

Speculative decoding aims to speed up autoregressive generation of a language model by verifying in parallel the tokens generated by a smaller draft model. In this work, we explore the effectiveness of learning-free, negligible-cost draft strategies, namely N-grams obtained from the model weights and the context. While the predicted next token of the base model is rarely the top prediction of these simple

2024We introduce Condition-Aware Self-Supervised Learning Representation (CASSLR), a generalist conditioning model broadly applicable to various speech-processing tasks. Compared to standard fine-tuning methods that optimize for downstream models, CA-SSLR integrates language and speaker embeddings from earlier layers, making the SSL model aware of the current language and speaker context. This approach reduces
