Recent research into Predictive Large Models (PLM) aims to align the models with human values, avoiding harmful behaviors while maximising efficiency and applicability. Two significant methods used for alignment are supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF). RLHF, notably, commoditizes the reward model to new prompt-response pairs. However, this approach often faces…
Large Language Models (LLMs) are effectively used as task assistants, retrieving essential information to satisfy users' requests. However, a common problem experienced with LLMs is their tendency to provide erroneous or 'hallucinated' responses. Hallucination in LLMs refers to the generation of information that is not based on actual data or knowledge received during the model's…
The field of large language models (LLMs), such as GPT, Claude, and Gemini, has seen rapid advancement, enabling the creation of autonomous agents capable of natural language interactions and executing diverse tasks. These AI agents are increasingly benefiting from the integration of external tools and knowledge sources, which expand their capacity to access and use…
Mac users often prefer applications that are specific, minimal, and user-friendly. The web-based interface Jupyter, while focusing on functionality, may not fully satisfy the needs of the Mac ecosystem as it requires more mouse interaction and offers fewer keyboard shortcuts. This leads to a less efficient workflow for Mac users, who traditionally depend heavily on…
Advances in technology over the past century, specifically the proliferation of computers, has facilitated the development of molecular representations that can be understood by these machines, assisting the process of drug discovery. Initial representations of molecules were simplified, showing only bonds and atoms. However, as the complexity of computational processing increased, more sophisticated representations were…
Software engineering is a rapidly evolving field aimed at systematic design, development, testing, and maintenance of software systems. In recent times, large language models (LLMs) such as GPT-3 have been employed to automate and optimize various software engineering tasks. However, the use of autonomous LLM-based agents has its challenges given their cost and complexity, and…
The increase in the hidden layer width of feedforward (FFW) layers results in linear growth in computational costs and activation memory in transformer architectures. This causes a significant issue in scaling, especially with increasingly complex models. These challenges affect the deployment of large-scale models in real-world applications, including language modeling and natural language processing.
Previously, Mixture…
Language modelling, an essential tool in developing effective natural language processing (NLP) and artificial intelligence (AI) applications, has significantly benefited from advancements in algorithms that understand, generate, and manipulate human language. These advancements have catalyzed large models that can undertake tasks such as translation, summarization, and question answering. However, they face notable challenges, including difficulties…
The generation of personalized reviews within recommender systems is a burgeoning area of interest, especially in creating bespoke reviews based on users' past interactions and choices. This process involves leveraging data from users’ previous purchases and feedback to produce reviews that genuinely reflect their unique preferences and experiences, thereby improving the competency of recommender systems.
Several…
Ensuring the safety of large language models (LLMs) is vital given their widespread use across various sectors. Despite efforts made to secure these systems, through approaches like reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) and the development of inference-time controls, vulnerabilities persist. Adversarial attacks have, in certain instances, been able to circumvent such defenses, raising the…
