The Fellowship of the LLMs: Multi-Agent Workflows for Synthetic Preference Optimization Dataset Generation

The Fellowship of the LLMs: Multi-Agent Workflows for Synthetic Preference Optimization Dataset Generation

[Submitted on 16 Aug 2024 (v1), last revised 24 Aug 2024 (this version, v2)] View a PDF of the paper titled The Fellowship of the LLMs: Multi-Agent Workflows for Synthetic Preference Optimization Dataset Generation, by Samee Arif and 4 other authors View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:This paper presents synthetic Preference Optimization (PO) datasets generated using multi-agent workflows and evaluates the effectiveness and potential of these workflows in the dataset generation process. PO dataset generation requires two modules: (1) response evaluation, and (2) response generation. In the response evaluation module, the responses from Large Language Models (LLMs) are evaluated and ranked…

Firefox’s automatic Picture-in-Picture mode is a time-saver for those who use it – gHacks Tech News

If you watch videos in your web browser, you probably have come upon the Picture-in-Picture functionality. Most modern desktop browsers support it to display the video stream in an overlay on the screen. This allows you to continue watching the video while switching tabs or doing other things in the browser or on the computer. Not everyone likes the mode, but since it is entirely optional, it should not be a huge issue. Firefox supports Picture-in-Picture functionality since 2019. Mozilla has been working on improvements for the Picture-in-Picture mode implementation of the Firefox web browser. One of the improvements gives…

DeepMind and UC Berkeley shows how to make the most of LLM inference-time compute

Join our daily and weekly newsletters for the latest updates and exclusive content on industry-leading AI coverage. Learn More Given the high costs and slow speed of training large language models (LLMs), there is an ongoing discussion about whether spending more compute cycles on inference can help improve the performance of LLMs without the need for retraining them. In a new study, researchers at DeepMind and the University of California, Berkeley explore ways to improve the performance of LLMs by strategically allocating compute resources during inference. Their findings, detailed in a new research paper, suggest that by optimizing the use…

Navy commander who oversaw carrier strike group in Red Sea says US command rejected suggestions to hit the Houthis harder over concerns about Iran

Navy commander who oversaw carrier strike group in Red Sea says US command rejected suggestions to hit the Houthis harder over concerns about Iran

A US Navy commander who oversaw most of the Dwight D. Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group's eight-month deployment in the Red Sea said officers had suggested more aggressive strikes on the Houthis, but that high command declined them."There are definite strategies that were put forward, but our National Command Authority decided that those — I would call more aggressive postures and more aggressive strikes — was not something we wanted to challenge," Miguez said in the interview published on Monday."We all know Iranian-backed groups like the Houthis, where that threat's emanating from," he said. "That is the calculus that's handled at…

Beyond KAN: Introducing KarSein for Adaptive High-Order Feature Interaction Modeling in CTR Prediction

Beyond KAN: Introducing KarSein for Adaptive High-Order Feature Interaction Modeling in CTR Prediction

[Submitted on 16 Aug 2024 (v1), last revised 26 Aug 2024 (this version, v2)] View a PDF of the paper titled Beyond KAN: Introducing KarSein for Adaptive High-Order Feature Interaction Modeling in CTR Prediction, by Yunxiao Shi and 6 other authors View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:Modeling feature interactions is crucial for click-through rate (CTR) prediction, particularly when it comes to high-order explicit interactions. Traditional methods struggle with this task because they often predefine a maximum interaction order, which relies heavily on prior knowledge and can limit the model's effectiveness. Additionally, modeling high-order interactions typically leads to increased computational costs. Therefore,…
