Sanja Fidler, VP of AI Research at NVIDIA and head of the company’s spatial-intelligence lab, says the Transformer’s Achilles heel is clear: training costs are sky-high and the hunger for data is bottomless. A new architectural breakthrough is overdue, and next-gen variants are already emerging.
This paper presents a deep learning-based chatbot system for answering frequently asked questions in the Amharic language at universities, achieving 91.55% accuracy using neural networks with TensorFlow and Keras. The system addresses Amharic-specific linguistic challenges including morphological variation and lexical gaps, and was deployed on Facebook Messenger via Heroku.
A comprehensive survey examining image classification into high-level and abstract categories, clarifying the tacit understanding of high-level semantics in computer vision through multidisciplinary analysis of commonsense, emotional, aesthetic, and interpretative semantics. The paper identifies persistent challenges in abstract concept image classification and emphasizes the importance of hybrid AI systems for addressing complex visual reasoning tasks.
