Same AI + Different Deployment Plans = Different Ethics

stp2y0 CommentsViral News

This month I will address an aspect of the ethics of artificial intelligence (AI) and analytics that I think many people don't fully appreciate. Namely, the ethics of a given algorithm can vary based on the specific scope and context of the deployment being proposed. What is considered unethical within one scope and context might be perfectly fine in another. I'll illustrate with an example and then provide steps you can take to make sure your AI deployments stay ethical. Why Autonomous Cars Aren't Yet Ethical For Wide Deployment There are limited tests of fully autonomous, driverless cars happening around…

During her presentation at QCon London, Ines Montani, co-founder and CEO of explosion.ai (the maker of spaCy), stated that economies of scale are not enough to create monopolies in the AI space and that open-source techniques and models will allow everybody to keep up with the "Gen AI revolution". Montani opened her presentation by asking for a show of hands to identify the open-source users in the audience. The vast majority of the audience raised their hand, easily demonstrating that open-source is ubiquitous ("it would be easier to ask who doesn’t use open-source’"). She pointed out the multiple benefits of the…

How to Generate and Use Synthetic Data for Finetuning

stp2y0 CommentsNews

It is increasingly viable to use synthetic data for pretraining, instruction-tuning, and preference-tuning. Synthetic data refers to data generated via a model or simulated environment, instead of naturally occurring on the internet or annotated by humans. Relative to human annotation, it’s faster and cheaper to generate task-specific synthetic data. Furthermore, the quality and diversity of synthetic data often exceeds that of human annotators, leading to improved performance and generalization when models are finetuned on synthetic data. Finally, synthetic data sidesteps privacy and copyright concerns by avoiding reliance on user data or possibly copyrighted content. There are two main approaches to…

Understanding and Coding Self-Attention, Multi-Head Attention, Cross-Attention, and Causal-Attention in LLMs

stp2y0 CommentsAI

This article will teach you about self-attention mechanisms used in transformer architectures and large language models (LLMs) such as GPT-4 and Llama. Self-attention and related mechanisms are core components of LLMs, making them a useful topic to understand when working with these models.However, rather than just discussing the self-attention mechanism, we will code it in Python and PyTorch from the ground up. In my opinion, coding algorithms, models, and techniques from scratch is an excellent way to learn!As a side note, this article is a modernized and extended version of "Understanding and Coding the Self-Attention Mechanism of Large Language Models…
