Google Deepmind’s new AI benchmark on bioinformatics code
Google Deepmind and Yale University researchers have introduced BioCoder, a benchmark for testing the ability of AI models to generate bioinformatics-specific code. BioCoder includes 2,269 coding problems based on functions and methods from bioinformatics GitHub repositories.
In tests with several code generators, including InCoder, CodeGen, SantaCoder, and ChatGPT, OpenAI's GPT-3.5 Turbo performed exceptionally well in the benchmark. The team plans to explore other open models, such as Meta's LLamA2, in future tests.
Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2308.16458
Why does this matter?
The team at Google Deepmind found that smaller, specialized models like StarCoder can perform well in specialized domains. However, ChatGPT struggled with BioCoder, achieving an accuracy of under 50 percent. The team plans to test other models and expects improvements with longer context lengths.
CityDreamer - New Gen AI model creates unlimited 3D cities
CityDreamer is a generative AI model that can create unlimited 3D cities by separating the generation of buildings from other background objects. This allows for better handling of the diverse appearance of buildings in urban environments.
The model uses two datasets, OSM and GoogleEarth, to enhance the realism of the generated cities. These datasets provide realistic city layouts and appearances that can be easily scaled to other cities worldwide.
Why does this matter?
CityDreamer can enhance video games, simulations, and virtual experiences, providing users with more immersive and authentic urban environments. Also, It sets a new standard in 3D city generation, potentially outpacing competitors and driving innovation in industries like gaming, architecture, and urban planning.
Scientists train a neural network to identify PC users’ fatigue
Scientists from St. Petersburg University and other organizations have created a database of eye movement strategies of PC users in different states of fatigue. They plan to use this data to train neural network models that can accurately track the functional state of operators, ensuring safety in various industries. The database includes a comprehensive set of indicators collected through sensors such as video cameras, eye trackers, heart rate monitors, and electroencephalographs.
An example of human fatigue analysis using video recording.
Why does this matter?
The Scientists believe that this approach will allow for remote assessment of fatigue severity, and the database will be accessible to software developers for testing their products.

Knowledge Nugget: Why you should host your LLM? From LLMOps perspective
This insightful article by
discusses the benefits of hosting your own Language Model (LLM) from an operational perspective. While using APIs provided by companies like OpenAI is convenient for prototyping and toy projects, relying solely on them can have drawbacks. These include limited support, non-deterministic behavior of models, concerns about political correctness and censorship, challenges with version control, and the cost of using large models.The article suggests evaluating the trade-offs between convenience and control and considering self-hosting LLMs for long-term projects for more stability and customization options.
Why does this matter?
It highlights the drawbacks of solely relying on external APIs for Language Models and emphasizes the benefits of self-hosting. Also, Understanding the limitations of external APIs can lead to more reliable and customized AI applications, ultimately improving user experiences.
Underscores the need for AI companies to address issues like model stability, control, and cost, potentially driving competition and innovation in the AI industry.
