2025/04/07

Hey PaperLedge crew, Ernis here! Get ready to dive into some fascinating research about the brains behind the bots – Large Language Models, or LLMs! We’re talking about the tech that powers things like ChatGPT, but today we're digging into a new player in the open-source world: DeepSeek LLM. Now, you've probably heard about how these AI models just keep getting bigger and better. But there's a catch! There's this idea called a "scaling law" that tries to predict how well an LLM will perform based

Hey PaperLedge learning crew, Ernis here, ready to dive into some mind-bending research! Today, we're tackling a paper that's all about figuring out cause and effect...but with a twist! Imagine you're trying to figure out if a new fertilizer really makes your tomatoes grow bigger. Easy, right? Just compare plants with and without it. But what if the plants getting the fertilizer are also getting more sunlight, or better soil? It becomes tricky to isolate the fertilizer's actual effect. This, my

Hey PaperLedge crew, Ernis here! Ready to dive into some brain-tickling research? Today, we're tackling a paper that looks at how those super-smart Large Language Models, or LLMs, think – specifically, when they're trying to figure things out based on a web of interconnected information. Think of it like this: imagine you're trying to find out if your friend knows someone who can fix your vintage record player. You ask around, connect the dots between people, and eventually, hopefully, find the

Hey PaperLedge learning crew, Ernis here, ready to dive into some seriously cool robotics research! Today, we're tackling a paper that's trying to solve a HUGE problem in getting robots to learn new skills. Think of it like this: you want to teach a robot to cook, but you don't have a master chef to show it every single chop and stir. That's the challenge!The traditional way to teach robots, called imitation learning, relies on showing the robot exactly what to do, step-by-step, with all the

Hey PaperLedge crew, Ernis here! Get ready to dive into some seriously cool research that's all about giving AI a little more... well, common sense and steerability. You know how sometimes you feel like you're talking to your phone's assistant, and it just doesn't get what you mean, even though you're being crystal clear? This paper is tackling that head-on, but for way bigger and more complex AI models! So, the stars of our show today are these things called Sparse Autoencoders, or SAEs. Think

Hey everyone, Ernis here, and welcome back to PaperLedge! Today, we're diving into a fascinating study that explores how AI, specifically these massive Vision-Language Models – let's call them VLMs for short – are tackling the complex world of surgery. Think of VLMs as AI systems that can "see" an image and "understand" what's happening in it by using text-based knowledge. Now, imagine teaching a computer to understand what's going on in an operating room. It's not as simple as showing it pictures

Hey PaperLedge learning crew, Ernis here, ready to dive into some seriously cool tech! Today, we're talking about teaching computers to not just see images, but to understand them well enough to actually edit them based on what we tell them to do. Think about it this way: you've got a photo of your messy desk. You want to tidy it up – virtually. You tell an AI, "Move the coffee mug to the left of the keyboard," or "Make the stack of papers look neater." That sounds simple, right? But behind the

Hey PaperLedge learning crew, Ernis here, ready to dive into some fascinating research! Today, we're tackling a paper that asks a crucial question about our increasingly multilingual AI assistants: Are they really as safe and helpful in all languages as they are in English? Think of it like this: imagine training a dog with only English commands. Sure, it might understand "sit" and "stay" perfectly, but what happens when you try to give the same commands in Spanish or Swahili? It might get

Hey learning crew, Ernis here, ready to dive into some seriously cool research! Today, we're tackling a paper about turning single photos into entire 3D scenes using video diffusion. Think of it like this: you've got a snapshot of your living room, and this technology can basically build a 3D model of the whole room, even the parts you didn't photograph. Sounds like movie magic, right? The problem the researchers are trying to solve is that existing methods for doing this – using video generation

Hey everyone, Ernis here, and welcome back to PaperLedge! Today, we're diving into some fascinating research about how we can get robots to understand and follow our instructions, especially when things get a little… complicated. Think about asking a robot to make you avocado toast. Sounds simple, right? But break it down – the robot needs to find the bread, the avocado, a knife, maybe some salt and pepper… it's a whole sequence of actions! This paper, which you can find at that GitHub link in the

Hey PaperLedge crew, Ernis here, ready to dive into some fascinating research! Today, we're tackling 3D shapes and how computers learn to create them. Imagine you're trying to describe a drawing to a friend over the phone. Some drawings are simple, like a stick figure – easy to explain. Others are incredibly detailed, like a portrait with lots of shading and intricate details. You'd probably use a lot more words for the portrait, right? Well, that's the problem this paper addresses with 3D
