RDBE: Reasoning Distillation-Based Evaluation Enhances Automatic Essay Scoring

arXiv:2407.13781v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recently, various encoder-only and encoder-decoder pre-trained models like BERT and T5 have been applied to automatic essay scoring (AES) as small language models. However, existing studies have primarily treated this task akin to a classification problem, focusing solely on outputting scores in the target text without offering interpretations for the generated scores. Departing from the approaches, we introduce Reasoning Distillation-Based Evaluation (RDBE), which integrates interpretability to elucidate the rationale behind model scores while enhancing performance through initial reasoning. This interpretive capability is acquired during training by leveraging generated reasoning from a large language model (LLM)…

Preventing Multiple Processing of SQS Messages

Preventing Multiple Processing of SQS Messages

Introduction Amazon SQS (Simple Queue Service) is a fully managed message queuing service that enables you to decouple and scale microservices, distributed systems, and serverless applications. AWS Lambda can process messages from an SQS queue, making it a powerful combination for event-driven applications. Scenario Imagine an AWS architecure like this: Imagine a scenario where your Lambda function fails to tag an SQS message as successfully processed. By default, Lambda retries the message up to 4 times before ignoring it. This retry behavior can lead to exponential execution of your handler: First Lambda: Retries 4 times, potentially sending 4 messages to…

Fake filming notices are popping up around New York City with bizarre plots, including one where Carrie Bradshaw dates Mr. Bean

At least one person in New York is imagining it, according to a series of fradulent film notices appearing around the city and going viral on social media.The notices, taped on signposts and electric boxes, feature a fake warning that the show will be filming in the area and a description of a bizarre episode plot."After getting hit by a Citibike, Carrie retains Fletcher Reede (Jim Carrey) from 'Liar, Liar' as her lawyer" one flyer said, per a post on X.Another one reads: "Carrie goes on a bad date with Mr. Bean (the character) and then accidentally sends him a…

Model Fatigue: Why New Doesn’t Always Mean Better

Model Fatigue: Why New Doesn’t Always Mean Better

(Roman-Samborskyi/Shutterstock) Doesn’t it seem like there’s a new machine learning model introduced every week? That’s probably because there is. From Sora to LLaMA-3 and Claude 2, models today come in all shapes and sizes—open source, off the shelf—with varying performance rates, cost implications, and rate limits. Each provider makes big promises to revolutionize the industry, and your business in particular. But the reality is that model fatigue is setting in. Choosing a model today is like walking down the cereal aisle at the grocery store. We’re spoiled for choice, and choice is good. But unlike cereal, you can’t just throw…

Elon Musk asked OpenAI investor Vinod Khosla to support Trump. Khosla said he doesn’t ‘accept depravity’.

Elon Musk asked OpenAI investor Vinod Khosla to support Trump. Khosla said he doesn’t ‘accept depravity’.

Khosla first posted that an open convention could yield a candidate who could "easily" beat Trump, such as Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer or Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro — in a later post, he also called on Vice President Kamala Harris or Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear to declare their candidacy. He noted these politicians could lead the US without the nation being "held hostage between MAGA extremists and DEI extremism."Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, was not impressed."Come on, Vinod. Trump/Vance LFG!!" he replied.Musk, who fully endorsed Donald Trump last Saturday after the shooting at a Trump rally, has been praised by…

Fine Tuning LRASPP MobileNetV3 on the KITTI Segmentation Dataset – DebuggerCafe

Fine Tuning LRASPP MobileNetV3 on the KITTI Segmentation Dataset – DebuggerCafe

In this article, we will be fine tuning the LRASPP MobileNetV3 model on the KITTI segmentation dataset. This article is the first in the series where we fine-tune the LRASPP MobileNetV3 model for Autonomous Driving Scene Segmentation. For this, we will start with fine-tuning the model on the KITTI semantic segmentation dataset. This is a small dataset that will kickstart our experiments. We will try two different training approaches and figure out how well the model can segment complex driving scenes. In the next two articles, we will use larger segmentation datasets for fine tuning to produce better models and…

‘Hillbilly Elegy,’ which was called ‘objectively terrible’ when released, tops Netflix after Trump picks JD Vance as VP

Donald Trump isn't the only one enjoying a comeback right now.Since Trump selected Sen. JD Vance to be his vice president on the 2024 GOP ticket, Vance is enjoying the limelight, as is his life story in the film "Hillbilly Elegy."The film adaptation of Vance's memoir, which critics panned when Netflix debuted it in 2020, has surged in popularity on the streaming service since the Republican National Convention.Netflix gave the film a limited theater release before streaming it in November 2020. In the weeks after its debut, the film scored a low 25% on Rotten Tomatoes, according to a web…

Echoes of the Emergent, a hauntingly beautiful Playdate exclusive, sold me on visual novels

Echoes of the Emergent, a hauntingly beautiful Playdate exclusive, sold me on visual novels

Somehow in all these years, I’ve never gotten into visual novels, despite being a person who loves both reading and video games. The idea has always intrigued me in some way, but I’ve never really felt compelled to actually pick one up. That changed when I first saw the announcement for a few months ago. Described as “a personal journey through a shattered post-apocalyptic world,” all it took was a glimpse of Echoes of the Emergent’s gritty aesthetic and melancholic atmosphere to get me to preorder it. And now that I’ve finally gotten around to playing (reading? experiencing?) it, I’m…
