Practical applications of mechanical metamaterials often involve solving inverse problems where the objective is to find the (multiple) microarchitectures that give rise to a given set of properties. The limited resolution of additive manufacturing techniques often requires solving such inverse problems for specific sizes. One should, therefore, find multiple microarchitectural designs that exhibit the desired properties for a specimen with given dimensions. Moreover, the candidate microarchitectures should be resistant to fatigue and fracture, meaning that peak stresses should be minimized as well. Such a multi-objective inverse design problem is formidably difficult to solve but its solution is the key to real-world applications of mechanical metamaterials. Here, we propose a modular approach titled 'Deep-DRAM' that combines four decoupled models, including two deep learning models (DLM), a deep generative model (DGM) based on conditional variational autoencoders (CVAE), and direct finite element (FE) simulations. Deep-DRAM (deep learning for the design of random-network metamaterials) integrates these models into a unified framework capable of finding many solutions to the multi-objective inverse design problem posed here. The integrated framework first introduces the desired elastic properties to the DGM, which returns a set of candidate designs. The candidate designs, together with the target specimen dimensions are then passed to the DLM which predicts their actual elastic properties considering the specimen size. After a filtering step based on the closeness of the actual properties to the desired ones, the last step uses direct FE simulations to identify the designs with the minimum peak stresses.

The evaluation of abstractive summarization models typically uses test data that is identically distributed as training data. In real-world practice, documents to be summarized may contain input noise caused by text extraction artifacts or data pipeline bugs. The robustness of model performance under distribution shift caused by such noise is relatively under-studied. We present a large empirical study quantifying the sometimes severe loss in performance (up to 12 ROUGE-1 points) from different types of input noise for a range of datasets and model sizes. We then propose a light-weight method for detecting and removing such noise in the input during model inference without requiring any extra training, auxiliary models, or even prior knowledge of the type of noise. Our proposed approach effectively mitigates the loss in performance, recovering a large fraction of the performance drop, sometimes as large as 11 ROUGE-1 points.

Text-guided image editing can have a transformative impact in supporting creative applications. A key challenge is to generate edits that are faithful to input text prompts, while consistent with input images. We present Imagen Editor, a cascaded diffusion model built, by fine-tuning Imagen on text-guided image inpainting. Imagen Editor's edits are faithful to the text prompts, which is accomplished by using object detectors to propose inpainting masks during training. In addition, Imagen Editor captures fine details in the input image by conditioning the cascaded pipeline on the original high resolution image. To improve qualitative and quantitative evaluation, we introduce EditBench, a systematic benchmark for text-guided image inpainting. EditBench evaluates inpainting edits on natural and generated images exploring objects, attributes, and scenes. Through extensive human evaluation on EditBench, we find that object-masking during training leads to across-the-board improvements in text-image alignment -- such that Imagen Editor is preferred over DALL-E 2 and Stable Diffusion -- and, as a cohort, these models are better at object-rendering than text-rendering, and handle material/color/size attributes better than count/shape attributes.

Neural networks have revolutionized the area of artificial intelligence and introduced transformative applications to almost every scientific field and industry. However, this success comes at a great price; the energy requirements for training advanced models are unsustainable. One promising way to address this pressing issue is by developing low-energy neuromorphic hardware that directly supports the algorithm's requirements. The intrinsic non-volatility, non-linearity, and memory of spintronic devices make them appealing candidates for neuromorphic devices. Here we focus on the reservoir computing paradigm, a recurrent network with a simple training algorithm suitable for computation with spintronic devices since they can provide the properties of non-linearity and memory. We review technologies and methods for developing neuromorphic spintronic devices and conclude with critical open issues to address before such devices become widely used.

Large language models (LLMs) have been shown to be able to perform new tasks based on a few demonstrations or natural language instructions. While these capabilities have led to widespread adoption, most LLMs are developed by resource-rich organizations and are frequently kept from the public. As a step towards democratizing this powerful technology, we present BLOOM, a 176B-parameter open-access language model designed and built thanks to a collaboration of hundreds of researchers. BLOOM is a decoder-only Transformer language model that was trained on the ROOTS corpus, a dataset comprising hundreds of sources in 46 natural and 13 programming languages (59 in total). We find that BLOOM achieves competitive performance on a wide variety of benchmarks, with stronger results after undergoing multitask prompted finetuning. To facilitate future research and applications using LLMs, we publicly release our models and code under the Responsible AI License.

我们提出了Panohdr-nerf，这是一种新颖的管道，可随意捕获大型室内场景的合理的全HDR辐射场，而无需精心设计或复杂的捕获协议。首先，用户通过在场景中自由挥舞现成的摄像头来捕获场景的低动态范围（LDR）全向视频。然后，LDR2HDR网络将捕获的LDR帧提升到HDR，随后用于训练定制的NERF ++模型。由此产生的Panohdr-NERF管道可以从场景的任何位置估算完整的HDR全景。通过在一个新的测试数据集上进行各种真实场景的实验，并在训练过程中未见的位置捕获了地面真相HDR辐射，我们表明PanoHDR-NERF可以预测任何场景点的合理辐射。我们还表明，PanoHDR-NERF产生的HDR图像可以合成正确的照明效果，从而可以使用正确点亮的合成对象来增强室内场景。

语言模型既展示了定量的改进，又展示了新的定性功能，随着规模的增加。尽管它们具有潜在的变革性影响，但这些新能力的特征却很差。为了为未来的研究提供信息，为破坏性的新模型能力做准备，并改善社会有害的效果，至关重要的是，我们必须了解目前和近乎未来的能力和语言模型的局限性。为了应对这一挑战，我们介绍了超越模仿游戏基准（Big Bench）。 Big Bench目前由204个任务组成，由132家机构的442位作者贡献。任务主题是多样的，从语言学，儿童发展，数学，常识性推理，生物学，物理学，社会偏见，软件开发等等。 Big-Bench专注于被认为超出当前语言模型的功能的任务。我们评估了OpenAI的GPT型号，Google内部密集变压器体系结构和大型基础上的开关稀疏变压器的行为，跨越了数百万到数十亿个参数。此外，一个人类专家评估者团队执行了所有任务，以提供强大的基准。研究结果包括：模型性能和校准都随规模改善，但绝对的术语（以及与评估者的性能相比）；在模型类中的性能非常相似，尽管带有稀疏性。逐渐和预测的任务通常涉及大量知识或记忆成分，而在临界规模上表现出“突破性”行为的任务通常涉及多个步骤或组成部分或脆性指标；社交偏见通常会随着含糊不清的环境而随着规模而增加，但这可以通过提示来改善。

生成时间连贯的高保真视频是生成建模研究中的重要里程碑。我们通过提出一个视频生成的扩散模型来取得这一里程碑的进步，该模型显示出非常有希望的初始结果。我们的模型是标准图像扩散体系结构的自然扩展，它可以从图像和视频数据中共同训练，我们发现这可以减少Minibatch梯度的方差并加快优化。为了生成长而更高的分辨率视频，我们引入了一种新的条件抽样技术，用于空间和时间视频扩展，该技术的性能比以前提出的方法更好。我们介绍了大型文本条件的视频生成任务，以及最新的结果，以实现视频预测和无条件视频生成的确定基准。可从https://video-diffusion.github.io/获得补充材料

使用卫星图像的建筑物分类对于诸如损害评估，资源分配和人口估算的若干应用而言变得越来越重要。在这项工作中，我们专注于建筑物损伤评估（BDA）和住宅和非住宅建筑的建筑物类型分类（BTC）。我们建议仅依赖于RGB卫星图像并遵循基于2级的深度学习的方法，其中使用语义分割模型提取建筑物的足迹，然后进行裁剪图像的分类。由于缺乏住宅/非住宅建筑物分类的适当数据集，我们介绍了一个新的高分辨率卫星图像数据集。我们进行广泛的实验，选择最佳的超参数，模型架构和培训范式，我们提出了一种新的转移基于学习的方法，以优于经典方法。最后，我们验证了两种应用中提出的方法，呈现出卓越的准确性和F1分数指标。

我们使用条件扩散模型介绍调色板，这是一种简单而一般的框架，可用于图像到图像到图像转换。在四个具有挑战性的图像到图像转换任务（着色，染色，un折叠和JPEG减压），调色板优于强大的GaN和回归基线，并建立了新的最新状态。这是在没有特定于任务特定的超参数调整，架构定制或任何辅助损耗的情况下实现的，展示了理想的一般性和灵活性。我们揭示了使用$ l_2 $与vs. $ l_1 $损失在样本多样性上的越来越多的影响，并通过经验架构研究表明自我关注的重要性。重要的是，我们倡导基于想象项目的统一评估协议，并报告包括预先训练的Reset-50的FID，成立得分，分类准确度的多个样本质量评分，以及针对各种基线的参考图像的感知距离。我们预计这一标准化评估协议在推进图像到图像翻译研究方面发挥着关键作用。最后，我们表明，在3个任务（着色，染色，JPEG减压）上培训的单个通用调色板模型也表现或优于特定于任务专家的专家对应物。
