This AI paper examines test time scaling of English-centered RLMS for improved multilingual reasoning and domain generalization

Reasoning language models or RLMs are increasingly used to simulate step-by-step problem solving by generating long, structured reasoning chains. These models break down complex questions into simpler parts and build logical steps to reach answers. This chain-of-thought (COT) approach has been shown to be effective in improving output quality, especially in mathematical and logical tasks. … Read more

When the opening sheds of “Enter Sandman” rang out on the show, more than 60,000 fans jumped together and created enough power to detect soil movement. Virginia Tech Seismological Observatory, … Read more

NVIDIA AI introduces Audio-SDS: A unified diffusion-based framework for quick controlled sound synthesis and source separation without specialized data sets

NVIDIA AI introduces Audio-SDS: A unified diffusion-based framework for quick controlled sound synthesis and source separation without specialized data sets

Audio Diffusion Models have achieved speech, music and foley sound synthesis of high quality, yet they are predominantly distinguished by testing rather than parameter optimization. Tasks such as physically informed impact sounding or quick-driven source separation require models that can adjust explicit, interpretable parameters under structural limitations. Performance Distribution (SDS)-which has driven text-to-3D and image … Read more
