AnalogCoder: Analog Circuit Design via Training-Free Code Generation

stp2y0 CommentsViral News
arXiv:2405.14918v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Analog circuit design is a significant task in modern chip technology, focusing on the selection of component types, connectivity, and parameters to ensure proper circuit functionality. Despite advances made by Large Language Models (LLMs) in digital circuit design, the complexity and scarcity of data in analog circuitry pose significant challenges. To mitigate these issues, we introduce AnalogCoder, the first training-free LLM agent for designing analog circuits through Python code generation. Firstly, AnalogCoder incorporates a feedback-enhanced flow with tailored domain-specific prompts, enabling the automated and self-correcting design of analog circuits with a high success rate. Secondly,…

Is GPT-4 getting worse over time?

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT
A new paper making the rounds is being interpreted as saying that GPT-4 has gotten worse since its release. Unfortunately, this is a vast oversimplification of what the paper found. And while the findings are interesting, some of the methods are questionable, so it’s worth digging into the details.One important concept to understand about chatbots is that there is a big difference between capability and behavior. A model that has a capability may or may not display that capability in response to a particular prompt.Chatbots acquire their capabilities through pre-training. It is an expensive process that takes months for the…

Foundational nabs $8M to help developers fix data quality issues faster – SiliconANGLE

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI, ,
Foundational Data Inc., a startup helping enterprises ensure their internal datasets are accurate, today announced that it has raised $8 million to finance growth initiatives.  Viola Ventures and Google LLC’s Gradient Ventures fund led the seed round. They were joined by executives from Meta Platforms Inc., Datadog Inc. and other major tech firms. Against the backdrop of the investment, Foundational Data today announced the general availability of its namesake platform for troubleshooting data quality issues.  Inaccuracies in business information are tricky to spot because their scope is often limited. In an analytics dashboard that contains multiple graphs, a pie chart…

Dissecting Query-Key Interaction in Vision Transformers

stp2y0 CommentsViral News
arXiv:2405.14880v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Self-attention in vision transformers has been thought to perform perceptual grouping where tokens attend to other tokens with similar embeddings, which could correspond to semantically similar features in an image. However, contextualization is also an important and necessary computation for processing signals. Contextualization potentially requires tokens to attend to dissimilar tokens such as those corresponding to backgrounds or different objects, but this effect has not been reported in previous studies. In this study, we investigate whether self-attention in vision transformers exhibits a preference for attending to similar tokens or dissimilar tokens, providing evidence of perceptual…

Gemma: Introducing new state-of-the-art open models

stp2y0 CommentsNews
Responsible by designGemma is designed with our AI Principles at the forefront. As part of making Gemma pre-trained models safe and reliable, we used automated techniques to filter out certain personal information and other sensitive data from training sets. Additionally, we used extensive fine-tuning and reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) to align our instruction-tuned models with responsible behaviors. To understand and reduce the risk profile for Gemma models, we conducted robust evaluations including manual red-teaming, automated adversarial testing, and assessments of model capabilities for dangerous activities. These evaluations are outlined in our Model Card.We’re also releasing a new Responsible…
