Google is a step further towards developing an advanced AI architecture called Pathways - a single model that can learn to do multiple tasks that are currently accomplished by employing multiple algorithms.
This new technology is called LIMoEa - an acronym that stands for Learning Multiple Modalities with One Sparse Mixture-of-Experts Model. It’s a model that processes vision and text together.
There are currently other architectures that do similar things, but Google's breakthrough is in the way their new model accomplishes these tasks, using a neural network technique called a Sparse Model.
LIMoE works on processing text and images simultaneously - lowering the computational cost and therefore making the model more efficient and as such, we could be on the verge of something quite exciting.
Let's see!
