Artificial Intelligence

To enhance the proficiency of an AI assistant, it is essential to commence by mapping out the unpredictable actions of human beings.

Researchers at MIT and University of Washington have crafted a model for understanding the behavior of humans and machines in decision-making scenarios, even when this behavior is suboptimal due to computational constraints. The model is based on an agent's “inference budget”, predictive of future behavior derived from observations of previous actions. This model could potentially…

CompeteAI: An AI structure that comprehends the competitive behavior of extensive language model-based constituents.

Competition is vital in shaping all aspects of human society, including economics, social structures, and technology. Traditionally, studying competition has been reliant on empirical research, which is limited due to issues with data accessibility and a lack of micro-level insights. An alternative approach, agent-based modeling (ABM), advanced from rule-based to machine learning-based agents to overcome…

LoRA-Pro: An Innovative Machine Learning Method for Eliminating the Performance Discrepancy Between Low-Rank Adaptation and Comprehensive Fine-Tuning

The methods of parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) are essential in machine learning as they allow large models to adapt to new tasks without requiring extensive computational resources. PEFT methods achieve this by only fine-tuning a small subset of parameters while leaving the majority of the model unchanged, aiming to make the adaptation process more efficient and…
