A recent research paper by the University of Washington and Allen Institute for AI researchers has examined the use of abstention in large language models (LLMs), emphasizing its potential to minimize false results and enhance the safety of AI. The study investigates the current methods of abstention incorporated during the different development stages of LLMs…
Relational databases are fundamental to many digital systems, playing a critical role in data management across a variety of sectors, including e-commerce, healthcare, and social media. Through their table-based structure, they efficiently organize and retrieve data that's crucial to operations in these fields, and yet, the full potential of the valuable relational information within these…
Time series data, used across sectors including finance, healthcare, and sensor networks, is of fundamental importance for tasks including anomaly detection, pattern discovery, and time series classification, informing crucial decision-making and risk management processes. Extracting useful trends and anomalies from this extensive data can be complex and often requires an immense amount of computational resources.…
The phenomenon of "model collapse" represents a significant challenge in artificial intelligence (AI) research, particularly impacting large language models (LLMs). When these models are continually trained on data created by earlier versions of similar models, they lose their ability to accurately represent the underlying data distribution, deteriorating in effectiveness over successive generations.
Current training methods of…
The rapid development of Transformer models in natural language processing (NLP) has brought about significant challenges, particularly with memory requirements for the training of these large-scale models. A new paper addresses these issues by presenting a new methodology called MINI-SEQUENCE TRANSFORMER (MST) which optimizes memory usage during long-sequence training without compromising performance.
Traditional approaches such as…
OuteAI has released two new models of its Lite series, namely Lite-Oute-1-300M and Lite-Oute-1-65M, which are designed to maintain optimum efficiency and performance, making them suitable for deployment across various devices. The Lite-Oute-1-300M model is based on the Mistral architecture and features 300 million parameters, while the Lite-Oute-1-65M, based on the LLaMA architecture, hosts around…
Large language models (LLMs) act as powerful tools for numerous tasks but their utilization as general-purpose decision-making agents poses unique challenges. In order to function effectively as agents, LLMs not only need to generate plausible text completions but they also need to show interaction and goal-directed behaviour to complete specific tasks. Two critical abilities required…
Neural Magic, an AI solutions provider, has recently announced a breakthrough in AI model compression with the introduction of a fully quantized FP8 version of Meta's Llama 3.1 405B model. This achievement is significant in the field of AI as it allows this massive model to fit on any 8xH100 or 8xA100 system without the…
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) technologies have shown significant advancements, particularly via their application in various industries. Autonomous agents, a unique subset of AI, have the capacity to function independently, make decisions, and adapt to changing circumstances. These agents are vital for jobs requiring long-term planning and interaction with complex, unpredictable environments. A…
