Language models that can recognize and generate human-like text by studying patterns from vast datasets are extremely effective tools. Nevertheless, the traditional technique for training these models, known as "next-token prediction," has its shortcomings. The method trains models to predict the next word in a sequence, which can lead to suboptimal performance in more complicated…

The landscape for open-source Large Language Models (LLMs) has expanded rapidly, especially after Meta's launches of the Llama3 model and its successor, Llama 2, in 2023. Notable open-source LLMs include Mixtral-8x7B by Mistral, Alibaba Cloud’s Qwen1.5 series, Smaug by Abacus AI, and Yi models from 01.AI, which focus on data quality. LLMs have transformed the Natural…

In recent times, large language models (LLMs), such as Med-PaLM 2 and GPT-4, have shown impressive performance on clinical question-answer (QA) tasks. However, these models are restrictive due to their high costs, ecological unsustainability, and paid only accessibility for researchers. A promising approach is on-device AI, which uses local devices to run language models. This…

Iterative preference optimization methods have demonstrated effectiveness in general instruction tuning tasks but haven't shown as significant improvements in reasoning tasks. Recently, offline techniques such as Discriminative Preference Optimization (DPO) have gained popularity due to their simplicity and efficiency. More advanced models advocate the iterative application of offline procedures to create new preference relations, further…

Large Language Models (LLMs) have become crucial tools for various tasks, such as answering factual questions and generating content. However, their reliability is often questionable because they frequently provide confident but inaccurate responses. Currently, no standardized method exists for assessing the trustworthiness of their responses. To evaluate LLMs' performance and resilience to input changes, researchers…

Natural language processing (NLP) is a technology that helps computers interpret and generate human language. Advances in this area have greatly benefited fields like machine translation, chatbots, and automated text analysis. However, despite these advancements, there are still major challenges. For example, it is often difficult for these models to maintain context over extended conversations,…

Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a field which allows computers to understand and generate human language effectively. With the evolution of AI, a wide range of applications like machine translation, chatbots, and automated text analysis have been greatly impacted. However, despite various advancements, a common challenge these systems face is their inability to maintain the…
