Join us this week for an in-depth discussion on Compositional Learning in the context of cutting-edge text-to-image generative models. We will explore recent breakthroughs and challenges, focusing on how these models handle compositional tasks and where improvements can be made.
This paper explores the use of Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning to improve autoregressive image generation, an area not widely studied. The authors propose three techniques: scaling computation for verification, aligning preferences with Direct Preference Optimization (DPO), and integrating these methods for enhanced performance. They introduce two new reward models, PARM and PARM++, which adaptively assess and correct image generations. Their approach improves the Show-o model, achieving a +24% gain on the GenEval benchmark and surpassing Stable Diffusion 3 by +15%.

At a time when the Indian stock market is peaking and has rallied immensely compared to global markets, there are companies that have not performed in the last 10 years. These are definitely a minor portion of the market considering there are hundreds of stocks that have turned multibagger since 2020. What went wrong with these stocks? Reasons vary from corporate governance, sectoral weakness, company specific and so on. But the more important question is, are these stocks worth buying?
Telegram hopes to raise $1bn with a convertible bond private placement
The super secure UAE-based Telegram messenger service, developed by Russian-born software icon Pavel Durov, is looking to raise $1bn through a bond placement to a limited number of investors from Russia, Europe, Asia and the Middle East, the Kommersant daily reported citing unnamed sources on February 18, 2021.The issue reportedly comprises exchange bonds that could be converted into equity in the messaging service that is currently 100% owned by Durov and his brother Nikolai.Kommersant reports that the price of the conversion would be at a 10% discount to a potential IPO should it happen within five years.The minimum bond placement is said to be set at $50mn, but could be lowered to $10mn. Five-year bonds could carry an annual coupon of 7-8%.
