Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Google have developed Pasta, a novel technique that enables large language models to parallelize their own text generation by producing semantically independent parts of responses simultaneously. The system teaches models to identify and annotate opportunities for asynchronous generation, enabling a purpose-built inference system to decode multiple sub-parts […]
Harvard University graduate student Weiwen Tian has been recruited to join DiCarlo’s CoCoSys team. Weiwen’s thesis work focuses on developing computational models of visually guided grasping behaviors in humans. Her work seeks an understanding of how the visual system infers 3D spatial information from 2D retinal inputs to guide grasping, and how these visual representations […]
