One of the key ingredients that made ChatGPT a ripsnorting success was an army of human trainers who gave the artificial intelligence model behind the bot guidance on what constitutes good and bad outputs. OpenAI now says that adding even more AI into the mix—to help assist human trainers—could help make AI helpers smarter and more reliable.In developing ChatGPT, OpenAI pioneered the use of reinforcement learning with human feedback, or RLHF. This technique uses input from human testers to fine-tune an AI model so that its output is judged to be more coherent, less objectionable, and more accurate. The ratings…

alternate way of doing word split/phrase segmentation in python

stp2y0 CommentsNewsalgorithms, coding, community, development, engineering, inclusive, learning, python, recursion, software

Doing word split with recursion felt a bit complex to me , so I tried to do it in an easier way. The Hard Way (recursion) -- def word_split(phrase,list_of_words, output = None): if output is None: #Base Case / Initial call output = [] for word in list_of_words: if phrase.startswith(word): output.append(word) return word_split(phrase[len(word):],list_of_words,output) # Recursive Call return output # Result Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode gives The Easy Way (indexing/for loop) - def word_split_2(phrase, word_list): output = [] for i in word_list: if i in phrase: output.append(i) return output Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode Source link lol

When users first found out about Adobe’s new terms of service (which were quietly updated in February), there was an uproar. Adobe told users it could access their content “through both automated and manual methods” and use “techniques such as machine learning in order to improve [Adobe’s] Services and Software.” Many understood the update as the company forcing users to grant unlimited access to their work, for purposes of training Adobe’s generative AI: Firefly.Late on Tuesday, Adobe issued a clarification: In an updated version of its terms of service agreement, it pledged not to train AI on its user content…
