Can LLMs Detect Their Confabulations? Estimating Reliability in Uncertainty-Aware Language Models

A new study introduces a data-efficient fine-tuning strategy for large-scale text-to-video diffusion models, enabling the addition of generative controls over physical camera parameters using sparse, low-quality synthetic data. This approach demonstrates that models fine-tuned on simpler data can outperform those trained on high-fidelity datasets.

A new study presents an efficient probabilistic hardware architecture designed for diffusion-like models, addressing the limitations of previous proposals that relied on unscalable hardware and limited modeling techniques. This architecture, based on an all-transistor probabilistic computer, is capable of implementing advanced denoising models at the hardware level, potentially achieving performance parity with GPUs while consuming significantly less energy.

SplatCo has been introduced as a novel structure-view collaborative Gaussian splatting framework designed for high-fidelity rendering of complex outdoor scenes. This framework integrates a cross-structure collaboration module, a cross-view pruning mechanism, and a structure view co-learning module to enhance detail preservation and rendering efficiency in large-scale unbounded scenes.

A recent study explores the automated recognition of instructional activities and discourse from multimodal classroom data, utilizing AI-driven analysis of 164 hours of video and 68 lesson transcripts. This research aims to replace manual annotation methods, which are resource-intensive and difficult to scale, with more efficient AI techniques for actionable feedback to educators.

A recent study has introduced differential smoothing as a method to mitigate the diversity collapse often observed in large language models (LLMs) during reinforcement learning fine-tuning. This method aims to enhance both the correctness and diversity of model outputs, addressing a critical issue where outputs lack variety and can lead to diminished performance across tasks.

LMSpell has been introduced as a neural spell checking toolkit specifically designed for low-resource languages (LRLs), showcasing the effectiveness of large language models (LLMs) in improving spell correction. This toolkit includes an evaluation function that addresses the hallucination issues often associated with LLMs, marking a significant advancement in the field of natural language processing for underrepresented languages.

An open, machine-readable dataset of Greek government decisions has been introduced, sourced from the national transparency platform Diavgeia, comprising 1 million decisions with high-quality raw text extracted from PDFs. This dataset is released with a reproducible extraction pipeline and includes qualitative analyses to explore boilerplate patterns and a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) task to evaluate information access and reasoning over governmental documents.

The introduction of the D³-Predictor presents a significant advancement in dense prediction by addressing the limitations of existing diffusion models, which are hindered by stochastic noise that disrupts fine-grained spatial cues and geometric structure mappings. This new framework reformulates a pretrained diffusion model to eliminate stochasticity, allowing for a more deterministic mapping from images to geometry.
