arXiv:2405.20347v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study the efficacy of Small Language Models (SLMs) in facilitating application usage through natural language interactions. Our focus here is on a particular internal application used in Microsoft for cloud supply chain fulfilment. Our experiments show that small models can outperform much larger ones in terms of both accuracy and running time, even when fine-tuned on small datasets. Alongside these results, we also highlight SLM-based system design considerations. Source link lol

arXiv:2405.20350v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Neural Network based approximations of the Value function make up the core of leading Policy Based methods such as Trust Regional Policy Optimization (TRPO) and Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO). While this adds significant value when dealing with very complex environments, we note that in sufficiently low State and action space environments, a computationally expensive Neural Network architecture offers marginal improvement over simpler Value approximation methods. We present an implementation of Natural Actor Critic algorithms with actor updates through Natural Policy Gradient methods. This paper proposes that Natural Policy Gradient (NPG) methods with Linear Function Approximation…

arXiv:2405.20363v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Image geolocation is a critical task in various image-understanding applications. However, existing methods often fail when analyzing challenging, in-the-wild images. Inspired by the exceptional background knowledge of multimodal language models, we systematically evaluate their geolocation capabilities using a novel image dataset and a comprehensive evaluation framework. We first collect images from various countries via Google Street View. Then, we conduct training-free and training-based evaluations on closed-source and open-source multi-modal language models. we conduct both training-free and training-based evaluations on closed-source and open-source multimodal language models. Our findings indicate that closed-source models demonstrate superior geolocation abilities,…
