Evaluating the Adversarial Robustness of Retrieval-Based In-Context Learning for Large Language Models

stp2y0 CommentsViral News
arXiv:2405.15984v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: With the emergence of large language models, such as LLaMA and OpenAI GPT-3, In-Context Learning (ICL) gained significant attention due to its effectiveness and efficiency. However, ICL is very sensitive to the choice, order, and verbaliser used to encode the demonstrations in the prompt. Retrieval-Augmented ICL methods try to address this problem by leveraging retrievers to extract semantically related examples as demonstrations. While this approach yields more accurate results, its robustness against various types of adversarial attacks, including perturbations on test samples, demonstrations, and retrieved data, remains under-explored. Our study reveals that retrieval-augmented models can…

AI drives cloud growth and cloud growth drives earnings upside – for some – SiliconANGLE

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT, ,
Artificial intelligence drove higher cloud spending this past quarter, and that in turn drove earnings upside for the likes of Google, Microsoft and SAP.

Another positive sign this week for the entire tech industry ecosystem was Rubrik’s…

Russian leader Vladimir Putin says European countries should rethink their calls to let Ukraine use Western arms to strike his country."So, these officials from NATO countries, especially the ones based in Europe, particularly in small European countries, should be fully aware of what is at stake," Putin told reporters on Tuesday."They should keep in mind that theirs are small and densely populated countries, which is a factor to reckon with before they start talking about striking deep into the Russian territory," he continued.Putin's warnings come after several European leaders said that Ukraine should be allowed to attack Russian military targets.
