Study shows vision-language models can’t handle queries with negation words
Published: Wed, 14 May 2025 16:56:30 EDT | (Link)
Researchers found that vision-language models, widely used to analyze medical images, do not understand negation words like ‘no’ and ‘not.’ This could cause them to fail unexpectedly when asked to retrieve medical images that contain certain objects but not others. -
Energy and memory: A new neural network paradigm
Published: Wed, 14 May 2025 16:43:20 EDT | (Link)
Listen to the first notes of an old, beloved song. Can you name that tune? If you can, congratulations — it’s a triumph of your associative memory, in which one piece of information (the first few notes) triggers the memory of the entire pattern (the song), without you actually having to hear the rest of the song again. We use this handy neural mechanism to learn, remember, solve problems and generally navigate our reality. -
