Dream AI 3.0 Gray Test: Significantly Improved Chinese Text Generation Capabilities

Breaking Free from Stiff AI: Midjourney and NYU Unlock New Dimensions in Creative Text Generation, Diversity Soars by 23%!

Researchers from Midjourney and New York University have collaborated on a novel approach to significantly enhance the diversity of creative text generated by language models while minimizing quality loss. Detailed in a recent research paper, this technique centers on incorporating a 'deviation metric' into the AI's training process. It works by quantifying the difference between each generated text and other texts created for the same prompt. Researchers utilize text embeddings and their pairwise cosine distances to calculate these differences, thereby providing the system with...
