Molecular geometry modeling is a powerful tool for understanding the intricate relationships between molecular structure and biological activity – a field known as structure-activity relationships (SAR). The main premise of SAR is that the biological activity of a molecule is dictated by its specific chemical…
Using LLMs to create structured graphs of image descriptors can enhance the images generated by visual language models. Learn how structured knowledge can improve prompt tuning for both visual and language comprehension.
In this issue: CaaSPER: vertical autoscaling algorithm dynamically maintains optimal CPU utilization; Improved scene landmark detection for camera localization runs faster, uses less storage; ESUS simplifies usability questionnaires for technical products and services.
Editor’s note, Apr. 2, 2024 – Figure 1 was updated to clarify the origin of each source. Perhaps the greatest challenge – and opportunity – of LLMs is extending their powerful capabilities to solve problems beyond the data on which they have been trained, and…
The emergence of large language models (LLMs) has revolutionized the way people create text and interact with computing. However, these models are limited in ensuring the accuracy of the content they generate and enforcing strict compliance with specific formats, such as JSON and other computer…
