Top Machine Learning Papers to Read in 2023
In recent years, generative AI has been changing the world due to the application of machine learning. For example, ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion. Even with 2023 dominated by generative AI, we should be aware of many more machine learning breakthroughs. Here are the top machine learning papers to read in 2023 so you will not miss the upcoming trends.
Google Rolls Out Its Bard Chatbot to Battle ChatGPT
Google isn’t used to playing catch-up in either AI or search, but today the company is hustling to show that it hasn’t lost its edge. It’s starting the rollout of a chatbot called Bard to do battle with the sensationally popular ChatGPT.
OpenAI Says GPT-4 Is Better in Nearly Every Way. What Matters More Is Millions Will Use It
In 2020, OpenAI stunned the tech world with its GPT-3 machine learning algorithm. The version launched this week is an improvement on the raw version from last August, but OpenAI admits it still exhibits known weaknesses of large language models.

Generative AI Makes Headway in Healthcare
Healthcare startups such as Pittsburgh-based Abridge AI Inc., whose product helps doctors write notes after seeing their patients, and San Francisco-based Syntegra Inc., which uses generative AI to create realistic copies of patient data for research.
GPT-4 has brought a storm of hype and fright – is it marketing froth, or is this a revolution?
I have seen enough to know that it’s going to alter our lives. Just think what AI tools could do when used by creative people in fashion or architecture
Sparks of AGI : Early experiments with GPT-4
Artificial intelligence (AI) researchers have been developing and refining large language models (LLMs) that exhibit remarkable capabilities across a variety of domains and tasks, challenging our understanding of learning and cognition.

Mila and UNESCO join forces to emphasize the urgent need for better AI governance
Montreal, March 20, 2023 – Mila – Quebec Artificial Intelligence Institute and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) today unveiled at Mila a joint book on the urgent need for a better governance of artificial intelligence (AI) in the face of unprecedented...
Bots like ChatGPT aren't sentient. Why do we insist on making them seem like they are?
But with the meteoric rise of OpenAI's ChatGPT — a large language model (LLM) that can generate convincing, detailed responses to natural language requests — a once abstract, hypothetical question has suddenly become very real.
Language models might be able to self-correct biases—if you ask them
A study from AI lab Anthropic shows how simple natural-language instructions can steer large language models to produce less toxic content.

This bumblebee-inspired bot can bounce back after injuring a wing
In an upcoming issue of the research journal, Science Robotics, a team at MIT detailed the new ways they improved tiny aerial robots’ actuators, aka artificial muscles, to handle a sizable amount of damage and continue flying.
The workplace robots of New Zealand, ranked and reviewed
In news that will make your emotional hard drive melt down completely, robots are coming for our jobs. Robots could be the ideal colleagues, given they rarely complain and probably won’t eat your carefully labelled lunch in the communal staff fridge.
Agility’s Latest Digit Robot Prepares for Its First Job
This morning at the ProMat conference in Chicago, Agility Robotics is introducing the latest iteration of Digit, their bipedal multipurpose robot designed for near-term commercial success in warehouse and logistics operations.

Towards End-to-End Generative Modeling of Long Videos
In this paper, we propose Memory-efficient Bidirectional Transformer (MeBT) for end-to-end learning of long-term dependency in videos and fast inference.
Google Rolls Out its Bard Chatbot to Battle ChatGPT
Bard and ChatGPT show enormous potential and flexibility but are also unpredictable and still at an early stage of development. Both the chatbots use powerful AI models that predict the words that should follow a given sentence based on statistical patterns gleaned from enormous amounts of text.
Using GPT-4 to measure the passage of time in fiction
Below I work through a simple example of content analysis using the OpenAI API to measure the passage of time in fiction (see this GitHub repo for code). To spoil the suspense: I find that for this task, language models add something valuable, not just because they’re more accurate than older ways of doing this at scale but because they explain themselves better.
