Overview:
Recently, the BharatGen initiative was launched by the union Ministry of Science & Technology.
About BharatGen:
- It isan initiative which will create generative AI systems that can generate high-quality text and multimodal content in various Indian languages.
- It is the first Government supported Multimodal Large Language Model Initiative
- It is implemented by IIT Bombay under the National Mission on Interdisciplinary Cyber-Physical Systems (NM-ICPS).
- Features of BharatGen
- The multilingual and multimodal nature of foundation models;
- Bhartiya data set based building, and training;
- Open-source platform development of an ecosystem of generative AI research in the country.
- The project is expected to be completed in two years along with plans to benefit several government, private, educational, and research institutions.
What is a Multimodal Large Language Model?
- It is designed to process and generate multiple modalities, including text, images, and sometimes audio and video.
- These models are trained on large datasets containing text and image data, allowing them to learn the relationships between different modalities.
- They can be used in many ways, including image captioning, visual question answering, and content recommendation systems that use text and image data to provide personalized recommendations.
Q1: What is a Large Language Model (LLMs)?
A large language model (LLM) is a type of artificial intelligence (AI) program that can recognize and generate text, among other tasks. These are built on machine learning: specifically, a type of neural network called a transformer model.
