🔥 Introducing Würstchen: Fast Diffusion for Image Generation

Diffusion model, whose text-conditional component works in a highly compressed latent space of images

Würstchen - это диффузионная модель, которой работает в сильно сжатом латентном пространстве изображений.

Почему это важно? Сжатие данных позволяет на порядки снизить вычислительные затраты как на обучение, так и на вывод модели.

Обучение на 1024×1024 изображениях гораздо затратное, чем на 32×32. Обычно в других моделях используется сравнительно небольшое сжатие, в пределах 4x - 8x пространственного сжатия.

Благодаря новой архитектуре достигается 42-кратное пространственное сжатие!

​​Explaining grokking through circuit efficiency

The paper explores the phenomenon of "grokking" in neural networks, where a network that initially performs poorly on new data eventually excels without any change in training setup. According to the authors, grokking occurs when two conditions are present: a memorizing solution and a generalizing solution. The generalizing solution takes longer to learn but is more efficient in terms of computational resources. The authors propose a "critical dataset size" at which the efficiencies of memorizing and generalizing are equal, providing a pivot point for the network to switch from memorization to generalization.

Furthermore, the paper introduces two new behaviors: "ungrokking" and "semi-grokking." Ungrokking describes a situation where a well-performing network reverts to poor performance when trained on a smaller dataset. Semi-grokking refers to a scenario where the network, instead of achieving full generalization, reaches a state of partial but improved performance.

​​RecMind: Large Language Model Powered Agent For Recommendation

Recent advancements have significantly improved the capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) in various tasks, yet their potential in the realm of personalized recommendations has been relatively unexplored. To address this gap, a new LLM-powered autonomous recommender agent called RecMind has been developed. RecMind is designed to provide highly personalized recommendations by leveraging planning algorithms, tapping into external data sources, and using individualized data.

One standout feature of RecMind is its novel "Self-Inspiring" algorithm, which enhances the model's planning abilities. During each step of planning, the algorithm encourages the model to consider all its past actions, thereby improving its understanding and use of historical data. The performance of RecMind has been evaluated across multiple recommendation tasks like rating prediction, sequential and direct recommendation, explanation generation, and review summarization. The results show that RecMind outperforms existing LLM-based methods in these tasks and is competitive with the specialized P5 model.

​​CoTracker: It is Better to Track Together

The CoTracker paper proposes a groundbreaking approach that takes video motion prediction to the next level. Traditional methods have often been limited, either tracking the motion of all points in a frame collectively using optical flow, or tracking individual points through a video. These approaches tend to overlook the crucial interrelationships between multiple points, especially when they're part of the same physical object. CoTracker flips the script by employing a transformer-based architecture to jointly track multiple points throughout a video, effectively modeling the correlations between different points in time.

What really sets CoTracker apart is its versatility and adaptability. It's engineered to handle extremely long videos through a unique sliding-window mechanism, and iteratively updates estimates for multiple trajectories. The system even allows for the addition of new tracking points on-the-fly, offering unmatched flexibility. CoTracker outshines state-of-the-art methods in nearly all benchmark tests.

​​LISA: Reasoning Segmentation via Large Language Model

The field of image segmentation has taken a leap forward with the introduction of LISA (Large Language Instructed Segmentation Assistant). This cutting-edge model excels at "reasoning segmentation," a novel task that generates segmentation masks from complex and implicit text queries. Building upon the capabilities of multi-modal Large Language Models, LISA expands its vocabulary with a <SEG> token and introduces an innovative "embedding-as-mask" paradigm to achieve this feat. Notably, the model is adept at intricate reasoning, utilizes world knowledge, offers explanatory answers, and can handle multi-turn conversations.

What's astonishing about LISA is its robust zero-shot learning abilities. Even when trained on datasets that lack reasoning-based tasks, LISA performs impressively well. Moreover, when fine-tuned with just 239 specific reasoning segmentation image-instruction pairs, the model's performance is further enhanced.

​​TSMixer: An All-MLP Architecture for Time Series Forecasting

Time-series datasets in real-world scenarios are inherently multivariate and riddled with intricate dynamics. While recurrent or attention-based deep learning models have been the go-to solution to address these complexities, recent discoveries have shown that even basic univariate linear models can surpass them in performance on standard academic benchmarks. As an extension of this revelation, the paper introduces the Time-Series Mixer TSMixer. This innovative design, crafted by layering multi-layer perceptrons, hinges on mixing operations across both time and feature axes, ensuring an efficient extraction of data nuances.

Upon application, TSMixer has shown promising results. Not only does it hold its ground against specialized state-of-the-art models on well-known benchmarks, but it also trumps leading alternatives in the challenging M5 benchmark, a dataset that mirrors the intricacies of retail realities. The paper's outcomes emphasize the pivotal role of cross-variate and auxiliary data in refining time series forecasting.

​​Contrastive Feature Masking Open-Vocabulary Vision Transformer

Contrastive Feature Masking Vision Transformer (CFM-ViT): a new approach for image-text pretraining that is optimized for open-vocabulary object detection. Unlike traditional masked autoencoders, which typically operate in the pixel space, CFM-ViT uses a joint image-text embedding space for reconstruction. This approach enhances the model's ability to learn region-level semantics. Additionally, the model features a Positional Embedding Dropout to better handle scale variations that occur when transitioning from image-text pretraining to detection finetuning. PED also enables the model to use a "frozen" ViT backbone as a region classifier without loss of performance.

In terms of results, CFM-ViT sets a new benchmark in open-vocabulary object detection with a 33.9 APr score on the LVIS dataset, outperforming the closest competitor by 7.6 points. The model also demonstrates strong capabilities in zero-shot detection transfer. Beyond object detection, it excels in image-text retrieval, outperforming the state of the art on 8 out of 12 key metrics. These features and results position CFM-ViT as a significant advancement in the field of computer vision and machine learning.

​​Giraffe: Adventures in Expanding Context Lengths in LLMs

Modern Large Language Models (LLMs) have revolutionized our ability to process and understand vast amounts of textual data. Yet, these models, like LLaMA and LLaMA2, often come with a caveat: they're constrained by fixed context lengths, which means they're limited in handling longer sequences of input data at evaluation. This paper tackles that constraint by investigating a variety of methods for "context length extrapolation," which essentially enables these models to understand and work with longer text sequences. Among the techniques explored, the paper introduces an innovative "truncated basis" strategy for altering positional encodings within the attention mechanism, promising a more scalable future for LLMs.

The researchers put their theories to the test with three brand-new evaluation tasks—FreeFormQA, AlteredNumericQA, and LongChat-Lines—providing a more nuanced measure of model performance than the traditionally used metric of perplexity. Their findings? Linear scaling came out on top as the most effective way to extend the context length, but the truncated basis method showed potential for future exploration. To propel the research community even further, the paper releases three game-changing long-context models, named Giraffe, with context lengths ranging from 4k to an astonishing 32k.
