FireRedTeam Releases FireRed-OCR-2B Utilizing GRPO to Solve Structural Hallucinations in Tables and LaTeX for Software Developers
Document digitization has long been a multi-stage problem: first detect the layout, then extract the text, and finally try to reconstruct the structure. For Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs), this often leads to ‘structural hallucinations’—disordered rows, invented formulas, or unclosed syntax. T...
Google AI Introduces STATIC: A Sparse Matrix Framework Delivering 948x Faster Constrained Decoding for LLM Based Generative Retrieval
In industrial recommendation systems, the shift toward Generative Retrieval (GR) is replacing traditional embedding-based nearest neighbor search with Large Language Models (LLMs). These models represent items as Semantic IDs (SIDs)—discrete token sequences—and treat retrieval as an autoregressive d...
