Llm And Generative Ai Suggested Contextually Relevant Images In A Conversation, Daniel Biran
Defensive Publications Series
Response suggestions to incoming messages is a popular feature of email and chat/messaging applications. However, while such applications support insertion of images, current response suggestion mechanisms are limited to text. Inserting a suitable image in a conversation currently requires the user to search for a suitable image and copy or download it. This disclosure describes the use of a large language model (LLM) to suggest contextually appropriate images that users can insert quickly within their conversational responses. With user permission, recent conversation history is analyzed by the LLM to identify and suggest contextually appropriate images relevant to the conversation based …

Generative AI is used to generate images based on the description provided by the user. The generated images are contextually matched with similar images of places on the digital map to identify matching locations, which are then returned to the user.
Author-Specific Prefix-Tuning For Personalization Of Large Language Models, Elizabeth A Hutton
Author-Specific Prefix-Tuning For Personalization Of Large Language Models, Elizabeth A Hutton
Defensive Publications Series
This article outlines a novel approach to the personalization of large language model (LLM) outputs to an individual writer in an artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted writing application without the need for fine-tuning or prompt-engineering. With this approach, an individual’s writing style may be encoded through a compact, learned model which maps writing samples to an "author-embedding" which may be prepended to the input of an LLM (in the manner of prefix-tuning) to steer the model to generate content in the writing style of that individual. The presented techniques involve several processing steps, including the selection of an optimal subset of an …
