Conversational Recommender Systems (CRS) are systems that leverage advanced machine learning techniques to offer users highly personalized suggestions through interactive dialogues. Unlike traditional recommendation systems that present pre-determined options, CRS allows users to dynamically state and modify their preferences, leading to an intuitive and engaging user experience. These systems are particularly relevant for small and…
Artificial intelligence (AI) has significantly impacted traditional research, taking it to new heights. However, its application is yet to be fully realized in areas such as causal reasoning. Training AI models in causal reasoning is a crucial aspect of AI, with traditional methods heavily dependent on huge datasets containing explicitly labeled causal relationships. These datasets…
The OpenGPT-X team has launched the European Large Language Models (LLM) Leaderboard, a key step forward in the creation and assessment of multilingual language models. The project began in 2022 with backing from the BMWK and the support of TU Dresden and a 10-partner consortium comprised of numerous sectors. The primary target is to expand…
Google researchers have been investigating how large Transformer models can be efficiently used for large natural language processing projects. Although these models have revolutionised the field, they require careful planning and memory optimisations. The team have focused on creating techniques for multi-dimensional positioning that can work for TPU v4 slices. In turn, these have been…
Web data collection, monitoring, and maintenance can prove daunting, particularly when dealing with large volumes of data. Traditional methods, through inadequate handling of pagination, dynamic content, bot detection, and site modifications, can compromise data quality and availability. Typically, companies opt to either build an in-house technical team or outsource to a lower-cost country. While each…
Improving Major Language Models (LLMs) on CPUs: Strategies for Increased Precisions and Performance.
Large Language Models (LLMs), particularly those built on the Transformer architecture, have recently achieved significant technological advances. These models have displayed remarkable proficiency in understanding and generating human-like text, bringing a significant impact to various Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications. However, implementing these models in environments with limited resources can be challenging, especially in instances where…
Evaluating the performance of large language model (LLM) inference systems comes with significant difficulties, especially when using conventional metrics. Existing measurements such as Time To First Token (TTFT), Time Between Tokens (TBT), normalized latency and Time Per Output Token (TPOT) fail to provide a complete picture of the user experience during actual, real-time interactions. Such…
Large language model (LLM) inference systems have become vital tools in the field of AI, with applications ranging from chatbots to translators. Their performance is crucial in ensuring optimal user interaction and overall experience. However, traditional metrics used for evaluation, such as Time To First Token (TTFT) and Time Between Tokens (TBT), have been found…
Large Language Models (LLMs) have transformed our interactions with AI, notably in areas such as conversational chatbots. Their efficacy is heavily reliant on high-quality instruction data used post-training. However, the traditional ways of post-training, which involve human annotations and evaluations, face issues such as high cost and limited availability of human resources. This calls for…
Large language models (LLMs) have significantly advanced our capabilities in understanding and generating human language. They have been instrumental in developing conversational AI and chatbots that can engage in human-like dialogues, thus improving the quality of various services. However, the post-training of LLMs, which is crucial for their efficacy, is a complicated task. Traditional methods…
The technique of language model adaptation is integral in artificial intelligence as it aids in modifying large pre-existing language models to function effectively across a range of languages. Notwithstanding their remarkable performance in English, these language learning models' (LLM) capabilities tend to diminish considerably when adapted to less familiar languages. This necessitates the implementation of…
Language models are advanced artificial intelligence systems that can generate human-like text, but when they're trained on large amounts of data, there's a risk they'll inadvertently learn to produce offensive or harmful content. To avoid this, researchers use two primary methods: first, safety tuning, which is aligning the model's responses to human values, but this…
