Large Language Models (LLMs) have drastically changed machine learning, pushing the field from traditional end-to-end training towards the use of pretrained models with carefully crafted prompts. This move has created a compelling question for researchers: Can a pretrained LLM function similar to a neural network, parameterized by its natural language prompt?
LLMs have been used for…
Researchers from the University of Toronto and the Vector Institute have developed an advanced framework for protein language models (PLMs), called Protein Annotation-Improved Representations (PAIR). This framework enhances the ability of models to predict amino acid sequences and generate feature vectors representing proteins, proving particularly useful in predicting protein folding and mutation effects.
PLMs traditionally make…
Artificial intelligence (AI) applications are becoming increasingly complicated, involving multiple interactive tasks and components that must be coordinated for effective and efficient performance. Traditional methods of managing this complex orchestration, such as Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs) and query pipelines, often fall short in dynamic and iterative processes.
To overcome these limitations, LlamaIndex has introduced…
