Meta AI

Meta AI is an artificial intelligence laboratory owned by Meta Platforms Inc. (formerly known as Facebook, Inc.). Meta AI develops various forms of artificial intelligence, including augmented and artificial reality technologies. Meta AI is also an academic research laboratory focused on generating knowledge for the AI community. This is in contrast to Facebook's Applied Machine Learning (AML) team, which focuses on practical applications of its products.

Current research

In the February 23, 2022, live event Inside the Lab: Building for the Metaverse with AI, the Meta AI team discussed the major advancements in research and development in artificial intelligence. One such tool is the BuilderBot, which allows users to generate virtual worlds by using voice commands. Other tools include the No Language Left Behind, a system capable of automatic translation between written languages, and a Universal Speech Translator, a system capable of instantaneous speech-to-speech translation.

Computer vision

Meta AI's computer vision research aims to extract information about the environment from digital images and videos. One example of computer vision technology developed by AI is panoptic segmentation, which recognizes objects in the foreground but also classifies the scenes in the background. Meta AI seeks to improve Visual Question Answering technology, in which a machine answers human user questions about images using cycle consistency, having the machine generate a question in addition to the answer to address linguistic variations in the questions.

Natural language processing and conversational AI[edit]

Artificial intelligence communication requires a machine to understand natural language and to generate natural language. Meta AI seeks to improve these technologies to improve safe communication regardless of what language the user might speak. Thus, a central task involves the generalization of natural language processing (NLP) technology to other languages. As such, Meta AI actively works on unsupervised machine translation. Meta AI seeks to improve natural-language interfaces by developing aspects of chitchat dialogue such as repetition, specificity, response-relatedness, and question-asking, incorporating personality into image captioning, and generating creativity-based language.

In 2018, Meta AI launched the open-source PyText, a modeling framework focused on NLP systems.

In 2023, Meta AI announced an open-sourced LLaMA (Large Language Model Meta AI), a 65B parameter large language model.

Meta-AI studies the mathematical and theoretical foundations of artificial intelligence. Meta AI has publications in learning theory, optimization, and signal processing.

The developers are updating META AI in WhatsApp. The updation of the Chat will be User-Friendly for the users. It will be more useful if the chat provides a generated image from the user's prompt. This chat reminded me of my internship project "AI voice assistant with Translation", which has both translation and content generator in several languages. link: https://www.journal-iiie-india.com/1_june_23/21.2_6.pdf

Let us see more Meta AI updates that make us complete our work in a short Duration.
