Baido's official Weibo announced on October 31 that Baido founder Li Yanhong will deliver a one-hour keynote speech at the Baido World 2024 conference, which will be held on November 12. The poster for this speech integrates key insights from Li Yanhong's recent appearances. On the application level, he focuses on the development directions of natural language processing, intelligent systems, and search technology. Regarding industry trends, Li Yanhong pointed out in a previous interview with the Harvard Business Review that despite the inevitability of bubbles, 1% of companies will still stand out in competition.

Recently, the "Qimin" large language model in the field of ancient agricultural literature was launched in Beijing. It was developed by the Key Laboratory of Agricultural Big Data of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the Institute of Agricultural Information of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, in collaboration with the Hubei Provincial Library, Huazhong Agricultural University Library, Zhengzhou Normal University College of Communication, and Zhonghua Book Company Guolian (Beijing) Digital Media Technology Co., Ltd. Dai Xin, Deputy Director of the Institute of Agricultural Information of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, stated that this model is trained on a large number of ancient agricultural texts from China, drawing wisdom from these texts and delving deep into ancient agricultural techniques and farming experiences.

Text-to-SQL technology allows ordinary users to query databases easily through natural language, but accurately converting complex database structures into SQL commands poses challenges. A research team from South China University of Technology and Tsinghua University has proposed a new method—MAG-SQL (Multi-Agent Generative Model), aimed at enhancing the accuracy of this process. MAG-SQL achieves this through the collaboration of multiple agents, including a 'Soft Pattern Linker', a 'Goal-Condition Decomposer', a 'Sub-SQL Generator', and a 'Sub-SQL Refiner'.

Fudan University has introduced SpeechGPT, a large language model designed to understand and generate both speech and text. By discretizing speech signals, it enables compatibility with text modalities, allowing for emotional perception and multi-style speech generation based on context and instructions. The training strategy includes modal adaptation pre-training, cross-modal instruction fine-tuning, and modal chain instruction fine-tuning to en....

ChatGPT has an accuracy rate of 71.7% in clinical medical decision-making. It performs exceptionally well in primary care and emergency settings, demonstrating excellence in differential diagnosis, diagnostic testing, and clinical management tasks.

Midjourney V6 has been released, featuring text-to-image generation and emphasizing enhanced language processing capabilities. Key improvements include better adherence to prompts and support for longer prompt lengths. Enhancements are based on context management, sequence modeling, and interactive state tracking, improving the model's logical consistency. The advantages of the text-to-image model lie in public image resources, which can be used to continually enhance the performance of the pre-trained large model. Additionally, Midjourney V6 has introduced text rendering capabilities, further expanding its language-related functionalities.

OneToken's xVal technology addresses the LLM digital encoding issue, enhancing efficiency and generalization performance. Released by nine institutions including the Iron Research Institute, it can encode all numbers. xVal uses multiplicative encoding, making LLM processing of numbers more continuous and smooth. Experiments show that xVal performs stably in tasks such as multi-digit multiplication. This technology can provide significant assistance for data analysis in the scientific field.

Microsoft has applied for a patent for an AI customer service system that uses natural language processing. The system can understand customer inputs to find the best solutions. It uses text encoding to represent customer queries and procedural operations, then matches the encoding to find the most suitable procedural operation. OneDrive recently added a similar feature, indicating that this AI system may be launched soon.

By using chained density prompting to fine-tune ChatGPT, we achieve performance on news summarization tasks that exceeds GPT-4's zero-shot capabilities and approaches GPT-4's performance with chained prompting. This is accomplished through automatic evaluation chains such as ScoreStringEvalChain and the improved PairwiseStringEvalChain for quantitative assessments at human-level quality. Fine-tuning ChatGPT is 11 times faster and 63% cheaper than GPT-4's zero-shot method, and 33 times faster and 84% cheaper than GPT-4's chained prompting. The results show that fine-tuned ChatGPT excels in news summarization.

Google is integrating Bard AI with Gmail, Docs, YouTube, and more, allowing users to have Bard summarize and answer questions from personal content. Bard can display relevant information from YouTube, Maps, hotels, etc. Google claims it will not store or train on users' personal content to compete with ChatGPT and Bing Chat.
