Natural Language Processing (NLP), a field within artificial intelligence, is focused on creating ways for computers and human language to interact. It's used in many technology sectors such as machine translation, sentiment analysis, and information retrieval. The challenge presently faced is the evaluation of long-context language models, which are necessary for understanding and generating text…
A team of researchers from institutions including the Arc Institute and UC Berkeley discovered that certain mobile genetic elements found extensively in bacteria and archaea known as IS110 insertion sequences or MGEs express a structured non-coding RNA (ncRNA) that interacts with their recombinase. This unique RNA, called "bridge" RNA, contains two loops that specifically interact…
React is a robust framework, but it is not without its potential performance issues. Problems such as inefficient state management, oversized components, or unneeded re-renders can have a significant impact on the user experience, slowing things down considerably. Fixing these issues isn't always a quick or easy task — tracking down the problematic piece of…
In the dynamic world of business, efficient and effective management of vast amounts of data is pivotal for success. Despite the presence of several data management tools, many fail to offer seamless integration, user-friendly features, and require high-level technical expertise, making them inaccessible for many businesses. This necessitates a robust, efficient, and user-friendly solution that…
Large language models (LLMs), despite their significant advancements, often struggle in situations where information is spread across long stretches of text. This issue, referred to as the "lost-in-the-middle" problem, results in a diminished ability for LLMs to accurately find and use information that isn't located near the start or end of the text. Consequently, LLMs…
Large language models (LLMs), despite their advancements, often face difficulties in managing long contexts where information is scattered across the entire text. This phenomenon is referred to as the ‘lost-in-the-middle’ problem, where LLMs struggle to accurately identify and utilize information within such contexts, especially as it becomes distant from the beginning or end. Researchers from…
Hugging Face has unveiled the Open LLM Leaderboard v2, a significant upgrade to its initial leaderboard used for ranking language models. The new version aims to address the challenges faced by the initial model, featuring refined evaluation methods, tougher benchmarks, and a fairer scoring system.
Over the last year, the original leaderboard had become a…
Hugging Face has released a significant upgrade to its Leaderboard for open-source language models (LLMs) geared towards addressing existing constraints and introducing better evaluation methods. Notably, the upgrade known as Open LLM Leaderboard v2 offers more stringent benchmarks, presents advanced evaluation techniques, and implements a fairer scoring system, fostering a more competitive environment for LLMs.
The…
Google has introduced two new advanced AI models, the Gemma 2 27B and 9B, underlining their continued commitment to revolutionizing AI technology. Capable of superior performance but with a compact structure, these models represent significant advancements in AI language processing.
The larger model, the Gemma 2 27B, boasts 27 billion parameters, allowing it to handle more…
Melissa Choi has been appointed the new director of MIT Lincoln Laboratory, effective from July 1. She will take over from Eric Evans, who has served as director for 18 years. Choi has previously served as assistant director of the lab and is recognized for her technical breadth, leadership, managerial skills, and strategic vision. In…
Large Language Models (LLMs) have made advancements in several sectors such as chatbots and content creation but struggle with extensive computational cost and time required for real-time applications. While various methods have attempted to resolve this, they are often not context-aware and result in inefficient acceptance rates of draft tokens.
To address this, researchers from…
