Vision-language models (VLMs) are advanced computational techniques designed to process both images and written texts, making predictions accordingly. Among other things, these models could be used to improve the capabilities of robots, helping them to accurately interpret their surroundings and interact with human users more effectively.Vision-language models (VLMs) are advanced computational techniques designed to process both images and written texts, making predictions accordingly.

In the world of machine learning and artificial intelligence, clean data is everything. Even a small number of mislabeled examples known as label noise can derail the performance of a model, especially those like support vector machines (SVMs) that rely on a few key data points to make decisions.In the world of machine learning and artificial intelligence, clean data is everything.

The ability to precisely predict movements is essential not only for humans and animals, but also for many AI applications—from autonomous driving to robotics. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have now discovered that artificial neural networks can perform this task better when trained with biological data from early visual system development.The ability to precisely predict movements is essential not only for humans and animals, but also for many AI applications—from autonomous driving to robotics.
