In the field of large language models (LLMs), multi-agent debates (MAD) pose a significant challenge due to their high computational costs. They involve multiple agents communicating with one another, all referencing each other's solutions. Despite attempts to improve LLM performance through Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting and self-consistency, these methods are still limited by the increased complexity…
Scientists led by Themistoklis Sapsis at MIT's Department of Mechanical Engineering have developed a strategy to "correct" the predictions of coarse global climate models, enhancing the accuracy of risk analysis for extreme weather events. Global climate models, used by policymakers to assess a community's risk of severe weather, can predict weather patterns decades or even…

Natural evolution has meticulously shaped proteins over more than three billion years. Modern-day research is closely studying these proteins to understand their structures and functions. Large language models are increasingly being employed to interpret the complexities of these protein structures. Such models demonstrate a solid capacity, even without specific training on biological functions, to naturally…
Scientists from Evolutionary Scale PBC, Arc Institute, and the University of California have developed an advanced generative language model for proteins known as ESM3. The protein language model is a sophisticated tool designed to understand and forecast proteins' sequence, structure, and function. It applies the masked language modeling approach to predict masked portions of protein…
Researchers have been focusing on an effective method to leverage in-context learning in transformer-based models like GPT-3+. Despite their success in enhancing AI performance, the method's functionality remains partially understood. In light of this, a team of researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) examined the factors affecting in-context learning. They found that…
Advanced language models such as GPT-3+ have shown significant improvements in performance by predicting the succeeding word in a sequence using more extensive datasets and larger model capacity. A key characteristic of these transformer-based models, aptly named as "in-context learning," allows the model to learn tasks through a series of examples without explicit training. However,…
Global climate models predict future weather conditions, but these models are limited in their ability to provide detailed forecasts for specific locations. Policymakers often need to supplement these coarse-scale models with high-resolution ones to predict local extreme weather events. However, the accuracy of these predictions heavily depends on the initial coarse model’s accuracy. Themistoklis Sapsis,…
To better predict the risks of extreme weather events due to climate change, scientists at MIT have developed a method that refines the predictions from large, coarse climate models. The key to this approach is leveraging machine learning and dynamical systems theory to make the climate models' large-scale simulations more realistic. By correcting the climate…
