Neural text embeddings are critical components of natural language processing (NLP) applications, acting as digital fingerprints for words and sentences. These embeddings are primarily generated by Masked Language Models (MLMs), but the advent of large Autoregressive Language Models (AR LMs) has prompted the development of optimized embedding techniques.
A key drawback to traditional AR LM-based…
Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs), which combine powerful language and vision encoders, have shown excellent proficiency in tasks involving real-world images. However, they have generally struggled with abstract ideas, primarily due to their lack of exposure to domain-specific data during training. This is particularly true for areas requiring abstract reasoning, such as physics and mathematics.

Yet, the practical deployment of LLMs is often incapacitated due to their…
OcciGlot, a revolutionary language model introduced by a group of European researchers, aims to address the need for inclusive language modeling solutions that embody European values of linguistic diversity and cultural richness. By focusing on these values, the model intends to maintain Europe's competitive edge in academics and economics and ensure AI sovereignty and digital…
Large Language Models (LLMs), trained on extensive text data, have displayed unprecedented capabilities in various tasks such as marketing, reading comprehension, and medical analysis. These tasks are usually carried out through next-token prediction and fine-tuning. However, the discernment between deep understanding and shallow memorization among these models remains a challenge. It is essential to assess…
The technology industry has been heavily focused on the development and enhancement of machine decision-making capabilities, especially with large language models (LLMs). Traditionally, decision-making in machines was improved through reinforcement learning (RL), a process of learning from trial and error to make optimal decisions in different environments. However, the conventional RL methodologies tend to concentrate…
The implementation of APIs into Large Language Models (LLMs) is a major step towards complex, functional AI systems like hotel reservations or job applications through conversational interfaces. However, the development of these systems relies heavily on the LLM's ability to accurately identify APIs, fill the necessary parameters, and sequence API calls based on the user's…
Reinforcement Learning (RL) is a crucial tool for machine learning, enabling machines to tackle a variety of tasks, from strategic gameplay to autonomous driving. One key challenge within this field is the development of algorithms that can learn effectively and efficiently from limited interactions with the environment, with an emphasis on high sample efficiency, or…
The constant progression of natural language processing (NLP) has brought about an era of advanced, large language models (LLMs) that can accomplish complex tasks with a considerably high level of accuracy. However, these models are costly in terms of computational requirements and memory, limiting their application in environments with finite resources. Model quantization is a…
In recent years, large language models such as LLaMA, largely based on transformer architectures, have significantly influenced the field of natural language processing.
