Recently, we examined the paper "FruitNeRF", which investigates the use of Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) for counting fruit on trees. NeRF is generally applied for 3D reconstructions in controlled environments, but this study explores its potential for a practical agricultural problem.

FruitNeRF uses NeRF to create detailed 3D models of tree canopies, allowing for accurate counting of individual fruits. This represents a shift from NeRF’s typical applications to a real-world problem in crop monitoring and management.

The paper demonstrates how this method can improve efficiency and accuracy in assessing crop yields and managing resources.

In this work, they focused on reducing the size of LLama3.1 8B by pruning 50% of its layers—specifically, they removed 16 layers, shrinking the model from 8 billion parameters to 4 billion. The layers were selected using an activation-based importance estimation strategy to ensure the most critical parts of the model remained intact.

After pruning, they retrained the 4B model using knowledge distillation, where the original 8B model served as the teacher, guiding the smaller model during retraining.

This approach led to impressive results: the model required far fewer training tokens—approximately 100 billion, a 40x reduction—and achieved a 16% improvement in MMLU scores compared to training from scratch.

Learn about eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) and its human-oriented approach to machine learning. Instead of focusing solely on evaluation methods, we present why no single method can be considered perfect and emphasize the importance of understanding the diverse needs of different user categories.

The article highlights the importance of catering to the unique demands of various user categories and underscores the ethical implications and transparency challenges that come with AI systems. Particularly in healthcare, where the stakes are high, XAI plays a pivotal role in ensuring that both medical professionals and patients can trust and understand AI-driven decisions.

GENIAL4KMU aims to harness the power of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems to make unstructured company data more accessible and accurate. By focusing initially on structured data and later extending to unstructured data, we plan to implement a system that integrates relevant contexts into queries, ensuring reliable and efficient access to information.

This project not only leverages the latest in AI and language model advancements but also aims to create tailored solutions for German-language content. We’re looking forward to exploring new frontiers in AI and contributing to both academic and practical advancements in the field.

Stay tuned for updates as we progress with GENIAL4KMU!

Our CTO Lorenz Richter is currently on his way to the [ICML] Int'l Conference on Machine Learning in Vienna. 

Lorenz will present our new paper "Bridging discrete and continuous state spaces: Exploring the Ehrenfest process in time-continuous diffusion models".

The paper advances the understanding of generative AI by studying time-continuous discrete-space diffusion models and for the first time relate them to the popular score-based generative modeling, prominently used e.g. for image generation.

Reach out to Lorenz on LinkedIn, if you are also there and would like to meet up!

Last week we had the pleasure of attending Tangere24, hosted by Siemens Global Marketing Services (GMS) in Berlin. Siemens GMS, known for their expertise in marketing, sales, and communication, are leaders in leveraging AI within their operations.

Our Managing Director, Philipp Jackmuth, and Machine Learning Researcher, Jan Macdonald, represented us at the event. They had the opportunity to gain valuable insights into Siemens' comprehensive AI strategies, exploring how AI is transforming their global processes.

The event featured collaborative workshops focused on developing practical solutions for real-world challenges in marketing, sales, and communication. It provided a dynamic platform for meaningful exchanges with AI experts, discussing the latest advancements and best practices. We had the opportunity to engage directly with the Siemens GMS team, gaining valuable connections and exploring the potential for joint initiatives. 

We thank Siemens Team for this insightful event and look forward to future collaborations:

Lena Serdarusic, Dr. Hannes Fleischer, Stefan Schönmann, Larissa Anna Epp, Christoph Bischoff, Keito N., Samuel Kuhn & Julian Garber

𝐖𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝 126 𝐄𝐔𝐑 𝐨𝐫 7.150 𝐄𝐔𝐑 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐝𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐆𝐏𝐓?

Pricing of LLMs such as OpenAI’s GPTs can be hard to grasp. We therefore played it through based on the processing amounts of a medium-sized company. 

Let’s take a medium-sized company that automatically processes its documents with OCR and one of OpenAI’s GPT models: 

With for example an active sales department and regular customer interactions, this medium-sized company might process around 4,500 documents monthly, totaling about 55,000 annually, each averaging 2.6 pages. 

	◾ It could either spend 126 EUR for the overall task or up to 7.150 EUR 
	◾ GPT-3.5 is 50 times cheaper than GPT-4
	◾ GPT-4o is still 5 times cheaper than GPT-4

This calculation obviously only shows the cost side of the GPT model choice, but it shows that a) for some tasks the price aspect might be more important than the best performance and b) why OpenAI decided to publish GPT-4o as a balanced option of performance and costs.

So when selecting a GPT model, consider your specific needs. GPT-3.5 is ideal for budget-conscious applications, while GPT-4 is best for tasks requiring top-tier performance. GPT-4o strikes a balance for those needing both affordability and advanced features.

Choose wisely based on your business priorities.
