The Fundamental AI Research team at Meta has announced five major updates. The objective is to fuel innovation at scale and potentially gain an edge as the race for AI picks up momentum. Also known as FAIR. The team has focused primarily on advancing the current state of AI models by keeping doors open for collaboration with the AI community, whose members are spread across the world.
Updates pertain to Meta Chameleon, Multi-Token Prediction, JASCO, AudioSeal, and Text-to-Image generation.
Meta Chameleon has been identified as a key component on the list. It carries forward the legacy of boosting content generation using images and text. The model essentially aims to mirror human behavior by understanding both elements. As per Meta’s announcement, Chameleon can accept inputs in any combination of text and image. The output that it produces is also available in a variety of combinations.
Generating text and images is one of the most recognized AI models. A step forward in improving the mechanism is likely to build on the foundation that has existed for a long time. Furthermore, it appears to give the impression of human-like interaction by broadening the understanding of text and images.
Multi-token prediction is expected to help build better and faster LLMs, that is, large language models. Meta will leverage the capability of Multi-Token prediction to train its language models so that they can predict multiple future words simultaneously. This will be an improvement from the existing one-at-a-time approach. It will first go live under a non-commercial research-only license.
JASCO aims to assist users who are interested in AI music generation. It is also an improvement, as it allows input in the form of chords or beats. This results in enhanced control over the creation of music output. Models that provide output based on text-to-music concepts now incorporate it. Users will be able to input symbols and audio in JASCO.
JASCO surpasses MusicGen by providing users with better and more versatile control.
AudioSeal provides a watermark for speeches that have been generated using artificial intelligence. It leverages localized detection to pinpoint the difference within a longer audio snippet. AudioSeal does not follow the traditional method of employing complex decoding algorithms. Localized detection does the job better, especially at a speed that is 485 times faster than previous methods.
AudioSeal will be made available under a commercial license.
Text-to-image generating systems aim to bring diversity via automatic indicators. They have the potential to assess geographic disparities in models. The study further draws upon a large-scale annotation study, encompassing over 65,000 annotations and over 20 survey responses per example.
It is expected to improve diversity across the generative models of Meta.
On a large scale, all five AI research models will boost innovation for Meta. They could continue to inspire improvements to other players’ existing models. Interestingly, the race to become a leader in AI has just commenced. There could be a lot more coming as time passes in the tech world.
