stp2y0 CommentsNews

It’s easy to finetune models for our specific tasks; we just need a couple hundred or a few thousand samples. However, collecting these samples is costly and time-consuming. What if, we could bootstrap our tasks with out-of-domain data? We’ll explore this idea here. The task is to finetune a model to detect factual inconsistencies aka hallucinations. We’ll focus on news summaries in the Factual Inconsistency Benchmark (FIB). It is a challenging dataset—even after finetuning for 10 epochs on the training split, the model still does poorly on the validation split (middle in image below). To examine how out-of-domain data helps,…

stp2y0 CommentsNews

Push notifications can be considered a form of recommender system, where instead of showing recommendations directly on a website or app, we proactively send suggestions via email or mobile alerts.

One difference is that with pushes, we don’t know the customer’s intent. Compare this to search, where the intent is made obvious via the search query. Or recommendations on the website or app, where we can guess the intent based…
