2025/10/03

Hey PaperLedge crew, Ernis here, ready to dive into some fascinating research that bridges the gap between our brains and artificial intelligence. Today we're talking about a new type of Large Language Model (LLM) called Dragon Hatchling, or BDH for short. Now, before you think we're about to hatch a real dragon, let me explain! For decades, scientists have looked to the human brain for inspiration in building better computers. Think about it: our brains are incredibly adaptable, constantly

Hey PaperLedge crew, Ernis here, ready to dive into some seriously cool tech! Today, we're talking about how to make computers sound more human, more expressive, and even… multilingual! We're going to unpack a paper that's rethinking how we build Text-to-Speech, or TTS, systems. So, you know those Large Language Models, or LLMs, like the ones powering chatbots and writing assistants? Well, they're getting really good at understanding language. But when it comes to making them speak, current systems

Hey PaperLedge crew, Ernis here, ready to dive into some fascinating research! Today, we're exploring something super cool: OceanGym. Now, before you picture a bunch of seahorses lifting weights, let me explain. Think about how far AI has come. We've got self-driving cars, robots that can navigate warehouses, but what about underwater? The ocean is a whole other ballgame – dark, murky, and constantly moving. It's a seriously tough environment for robots to operate in. That's where OceanGym comes

Hey PaperLedge crew, Ernis here, ready to dive into some seriously cool AI research! Today, we're unpacking a paper that tackles a big challenge in creating super high-resolution images using AI, specifically with something called "diffusion transformers." Think of these transformers as artists that start with a canvas of pure noise and gradually refine it, adding details until a beautiful image emerges. The more detail, the higher the resolution, and the more computing power is needed. Now, one of

Hey PaperLedge crew, Ernis here, ready to dive into some fascinating research! Today, we're tackling a paper that's all about figuring out when a weird, kinda sticky "measure" – think of it like a spread of peanut butter, but in more dimensions – can be considered "flat" or "rectifiable" in a certain way. Sounds abstract, right? Let's break it down. Imagine you're trying to pave a driveway. You want it to be relatively smooth, not all bumpy and uneven. In math, especially when dealing with higher

Hey PaperLedge crew, Ernis here! Get ready to dive into some seriously cool stuff about how we can make large language models, or LLMs, think better. We're talking about helping these AI brains reason their way to the right answer, step-by-step. Now, you might have heard of Process Reward Models, or PRMs. Think of them as coaches that give LLMs little pats on the back – rewards – for each step they take towards solving a problem. But here's the thing: these coaches often have tunnel vision. They
