Large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, are able to generate human-like, fluent responses for many downstream tasks, e.g., task-oriented dialog and question answering. However, applying LLMs to real-world, mission-critical applications remains challenging mainly due to their tendency to generate…
作者：机器之心 在 NLP 领域，大规模语言模型（LLM）已经成功地在各种自然语言任务中充当通用接口。只要我们能够将输入和输出转换为文本，就能使得基于 LLM 的接口完成一个任务。举例而言，对于摘要任务，我们能够将文档输入到语言模型，语言模型就可以生成摘要。 尽管 LLM 在 NLP 任务中取得了成功的应用，但研究人员仍努力将其原生地用于图像和音频等多模态数据。作为智能的基本组成部分，多模态感知是...
