Large Language Models (LLMs) require an appropriate inference backend to function correctly, influencing user experience and operational costs. A recent study conducted by the BentoML Engineering Team has benchmarked various backends to better understand their performance when serving LLMs. The study focused primarily on vLLM, LMDeploy, MLC-LLM, TensorRT-LLM, and Hugging Face TGI. The experiment carried…
Artificial intelligence (AI) research aims to create adaptable and self-learning agents that can handle diverse tasks across different environments. Yet achieving this level of versatility and autonomy is a significant challenge, with current models often requiring extensive human supervision, limiting their scalability.
Past research in this arena includes frameworks like AgentBench, AgentBoard, and AgentOhana, which are…
Deep learning methods exhibit excellent performance in diagnosing cardiovascular diseases from ECGs. Nevertheless, their "black-box" nature contributes to their limited integrations into clinical scenarios because a lack of interpretability hinders their broader adoption. To overcome this limitation, researchers from the Institute of Biomedical Engineering, TU Dresden, developed xECGArch, a deep learning architecture designed specifically for…
The open-source project Perplexica is a breakthrough in the realm of search engines. While many strong platforms have fallen short when it comes to providing relevant and comprehensive search results, Perplexica addresses these shortcomings with its unique artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities. Most conventional search engines bank heavily on keywords, causing discomfort when users make more…
In the modern digital world, search engines are the gateways to accessing relevant information. Traditional search engines deploy keyword-based algorithms, searching indexed web pages for matches. Although effective for uncomplicated search queries, these systems lack the capacity to comprehend complex or context-dependent inquiries. As a remedy, some AI-powered search engines have incorporated advanced language models…
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been aiding developers with code generation, yet the output often requires substantial debugging and refining, resulting in a time-consuming process. Traditional tools like Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) and automated testing frameworks partially alleviate these challenges, but still demand extensive manual effort for tweaking and perfecting the generated code.
Micro Agent is a…
Dataset distillation is a novel method that seeks to address the challenges posed by progressively larger datasets in machine learning. This method creates a compressed, synthetic dataset, aiming to represent the essential features of the larger dataset. The goal is to enable efficient and effective model training. However, how these condensed datasets retain their functionality…
Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT-4, PaLM, and LLaMA have shown impressive performance in reasoning tasks through various effective prompting methods and increased model size. The performance enhancement techniques are generally categorized into two types: single-query systems and multi-query systems. However, both these systems come with limitations, the most notable being inefficiencies in the designing…
Natural Language Processing (NLP) faces major challenges in addressing the limitations of decoder-only Transformers, which are the backbone of large language models (LLMs). These models contend with issues like representational collapse and over-squashing, which severely hinder their functionality. Representational collapse happens when different sequences produce nearly the same results, while over-squashing occurs when the model…
This paper delves into the realm of uncertainty quantification in large language models (LLMs), aiming to pinpoint scenarios where uncertainty in responses to queries is significant. The study delves into both epistemic and aleatoric uncertainties. Epistemic uncertainty arises from inadequate knowledge or data about reality, while aleatoric uncertainty originates from inherent randomness in prediction problems.…
