General robotic grasping systems require accurate object affordance perception in diverse open-world scenarios following human instructions. However, current studies suffer from the problem of lacking reasoning-based large-scale affordance prediction data, leading to considerable concern about open-world effectiveness. To address this limitation, we build a large-scale grasping-oriented affordance segmentation benchmark with human-like instructions, named RAGNet. It contains 273k images, 180 categories, and 26k reasoning instructions. The images cover diverse embodied data domains, such as wild, robot, ego-centric, and even simulation data. They are carefully annotated with an affordance map, while the difficulty of language instructions is largely increased by removing their category name and only providing functional descriptions. Furthermore, we propose a comprehensive affordance-based grasping framework, named AffordanceNet, which consists of a VLM pre-trained on our massive affordance data and a grasping network that conditions an affordance map to grasp the target. Extensive experiments on affordance segmentation benchmarks and real-robot manipulation tasks show that our model has a powerful open-world generalization ability. Our data and code is available at https://github.com/wudongming97/AffordanceNet.

Background: Recruitment for cohorts involving complex liver diseases, such as hepatocellular carcinoma and liver cirrhosis, often requires interpreting semantically complex criteria. Traditional manual screening methods are time-consuming and prone to errors. While AI-powered pre-screening offers potential solutions, challenges remain regarding accuracy, efficiency, and data privacy. Methods: We developed a novel patient pre-screening pipeline that leverages clinical expertise to guide the precise, safe, and efficient application of large language models. The pipeline breaks down complex criteria into a series of composite questions and then employs two strategies to perform semantic question-answering through electronic health records - (1) Pathway A, Anthropomorphized Experts' Chain of Thought strategy, and (2) Pathway B, Preset Stances within an Agent Collaboration strategy, particularly in managing complex clinical reasoning scenarios. The pipeline is evaluated on three key metrics-precision, time consumption, and counterfactual inference - at both the question and criterion levels. Results: Our pipeline achieved high precision (0.921, in criteria level) and efficiency (0.44s per task). Pathway B excelled in complex reasoning, while Pathway A was effective in precise data extraction with faster processing times. Both pathways achieved comparable precision. The pipeline showed promising results in hepatocellular carcinoma (0.878) and cirrhosis trials (0.843). Conclusions: This data-secure and time-efficient pipeline shows high precision in hepatopathy trials, providing promising solutions for streamlining clinical trial workflows. Its efficiency and adaptability make it suitable for improving patient recruitment. And its capability to function in resource-constrained environments further enhances its utility in clinical settings.

Tokenization, the division of input text into input tokens, is an often overlooked aspect of the large language model (LLM) pipeline and could be the source of useful or harmful inductive biases. Historically, LLMs have relied on byte pair encoding, without care to specific input domains. With the increased use of LLMs for reasoning, various number-specific tokenization schemes have been adopted, with popular models like LLaMa and PaLM opting for single-digit tokenization while GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 have separate tokens for each 1-, 2-, and 3-digit numbers. In this work, we study the effect this choice has on numerical reasoning through the use of arithmetic tasks. We consider left-to-right and right-to-left tokenization for GPT-3.5 and -4, finding that right-to-left tokenization (enforced by comma separating numbers at inference time) leads to largely improved performance. Furthermore, we find that model errors when using standard left-to-right tokenization follow stereotyped error patterns, suggesting that model computations are systematic rather than approximate. We show that the model is able to convert between tokenizations easily, thus allowing chain-of-thought-inspired approaches to recover performance on left-to-right tokenized inputs. We also find the gap between tokenization directions decreases when models are scaled, possibly indicating that larger models are better able to override this tokenization-dependent inductive bias. In summary, our work performs the first study of how number tokenization choices lead to differences in model performance on arithmetic tasks, accompanied by a thorough analysis of error patterns. We hope this work inspires practitioners to more carefully ablate number tokenization-related choices when working towards general models of numerical reasoning.

It is not a secret anymore that robots are taking over at work. As a result, this scenario is raising concerns not only from workers but also from the owners of the factors of production. As factories owners see a future where robots will take over more and more of human work at the factory, they are worried that humans whose positions will be taken over by robots will be a danger to society. We have heard of many factories around the world where robots actually outnumber the human staff within the factory. Therefore, we seek to answer the question of what the human role will be when factories like this are the majority in the near future. Human workers that will remain employed at robot-led factories are only those that will have higher level jobs.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are two technologies that are revolutionizing the way businesses operate and interact with their customers. AI and ML are closely related and are often used interchangeably, but they are not the same thing. ML, on the other hand, is a type of AI that involves using algorithms to analyze data and improve the machine's performance over time. In the world of digital marketing, AI and ML are being used to analyze and understand consumer behavior, optimize ad targeting, and automate marketing tasks. For example, an AI system might be able to analyze a customer's browsing and purchase history and make recommendations for other products they might be interested in.

Automation involves having a machine perform simple, repetitive operations that follow instructions or workflows set by humans. Automation tasks are very repetitive, predictable tasks. Think of a machine in a factory that makes the same part the same way over and over again. For many people, artificial intelligence (AI) means robots that perform complex human tasks in science fiction movies. Actually, this is partially true.
