Improving LoRA: Implementing Weight-Decomposed Low-Rank Adaptation (DoRA) from Scratch

stp2y0 CommentsAI

Low-rank adaptation (LoRA) is a machine learning technique that modifies a pretrained model (for example, an LLM or vision transformer) to better suit a specific, often smaller, dataset by adjusting only a small, low-rank subset of the model's parameters. This approach is important because it allows for efficient finetuning of large models on task-specific data, significantly reducing the computational cost and time required for finetuning.Last week, researchers proposed DoRA: Weight-Decomposed Low-Rank Adaptation, a new alternative to LoRA, which may outperform LoRA by a large margin.To understand how these methods work, we will implement both LoRA and DoRA in PyTorch from scratch…

AI safety is not a model property

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT

The assumption that AI safety is a property of AI models is pervasive in the AI community. It is seen as so obvious that it is hardly ever explicitly stated. Because of this assumption:Companies have made big investments in red teaming their models before releasing them.Researchers are frantically trying to fix the brittleness of model alignment techniques.Some AI safety advocates seek to restrict open models given concerns that they might pose unique risks.Policymakers are trying to find the training compute threshold above which safety risks become serious enough to justify intervention (and lacking any meaningful basis for picking one, they…

Sampling for Text Generation

stp2y0 CommentsRAG models

ML models are probabilistic. Imagine that you want to know what’s the best cuisine in the world. If you ask someone this question twice, a minute apart, their answers both times should be the same. If you ask a model the same question twice, its answer can change. If the model thinks that Vietnamese cuisine has a 70% chance of being the best cuisine and Italian cuisine has a 30% chance, it’ll answer “Vietnamese” 70% of the time, and “Italian” 30%. This probabilistic nature makes AI great for creative tasks. What is creativity but the ability to explore beyond the…

3D printing robot creates extreme shock-absorbing shape, with help of AI

stp2y0 CommentsGenAIRobotics Research; Engineering and Construction; Materials Science; Engineering; Robotics; Artificial Intelligence; Hacking; Computers and Internet

Inside a lab in Boston University's College of Engineering, a robot arm drops small, plastic objects into a box placed perfectly on the floor to catch them as they fall. One by one, these tiny structures -- feather-light, cylindrical pieces, no bigger than an inch tall -- fill the box. Some are red, others blue, purple, green, or black. Each object is the result of an experiment in robot autonomy. On its own, learning as it goes, the robot is searching for, and trying to make, an object with the most efficient energy-absorbing shape to ever exist. To do this,…
