Finetuning Large Language Models

Fine-tuning all layers of a pretrained LLM remains the gold standard for adapting to new target tasks, but there are several efficient alternatives for using pretrained transformers. Methods such as feature-based approaches, in-context learning, and parameter-efficient finetuning techniques enable effective application of LLMs to new tasks while minimizing computational costs and resources.

​​DINOv2: Learning Robust Visual Features without Supervision

Get ready for a game-changer in computer vision! Building on the groundbreaking achievements in natural language processing, foundation models are revolutionizing the way we use images in various systems. By generating all-purpose visual features that excel across diverse image distributions and tasks without finetuning, these models are set to redefine the field.

The researchers behind this work have combined cutting-edge techniques to scale pretraining in terms of data and model size, turbocharging the training process like never before. They've devised an ingenious automatic pipeline to create a rich, diverse, and curated image dataset, setting a new standard in the self-supervised literature. To top it off, they've trained a colossal ViT model with a staggering 1 billion parameters and distilled it into a series of smaller, ultra-efficient models. These models outshine the best available all-purpose features, OpenCLIP, on most benchmarks at both image and pixel levels.

​​InceptionNeXt: When Inception Meets ConvNeXt

Large-kernel convolutions, such as those employed in ConvNeXt, can improve model performance but often come at the cost of efficiency due to high memory access costs. Although reducing kernel size may increase speed, it often leads to significant performance degradation.

To address this issue, the authors propose InceptionNeXt, which decomposes large-kernel depthwise convolution into four parallel branches along the channel dimension. This new Inception depthwise convolution results in networks with high throughputs and competitive performance. For example, InceptionNeXt-T achieves 1.6x higher training throughputs than ConvNeX-T and a 0.2% top-1 accuracy improvement on ImageNet-1K. InceptionNeXt has the potential to serve as an economical baseline for future architecture design, helping to reduce carbon footprint.

​​Segment Anything

The Segment Anything project aims to democratize image segmentation in computer vision, a core task used across various applications such as scientific imagery analysis and photo editing. Traditionally, accurate segmentation models require specialized expertise, AI training infrastructure, and large amounts of annotated data. This project introduces a new task, dataset, and model for image segmentation to overcome these challenges and make segmentation more accessible.

The researchers are releasing the Segment Anything Model (SAM) and the Segment Anything 1-Billion mask dataset (SA-1B), the largest segmentation dataset to date. These resources will enable a wide range of applications and further research into foundational models for computer vision. The SA-1B dataset is available for research purposes, while the SAM is provided under the permissive Apache 2.0 open license. Users can explore the demo to try SAM with their own images.

​​Generative Agents: Interactive Simulacra of Human Behavior

Imagine a world where computational software agents can simulate believable human behavior, empowering a wide range of interactive applications from immersive environments to rehearsal spaces for interpersonal communication and prototyping tools. This paper introduces "generative agents," a groundbreaking concept where agents perform daily routines, engage in creative activities, form opinions, interact with others, and remember and reflect on their experiences as they plan their next day.

To bring generative agents to life, the authors propose an innovative architecture that extends a large language model, allowing agents to store and reflect on their experiences using natural language and dynamically plan their behavior. They showcase the potential of generative agents in an interactive sandbox environment inspired by The Sims, where users can engage with a small town of 25 agents using natural language. The evaluation highlights the agents' ability to autonomously create and navigate complex social situations, producing believable individual and emergent social behaviors. This groundbreaking work demonstrates the critical contributions of observation, planning, and reflection components in agent architecture, laying the foundation for more realistic simulations of human behavior and unlocking exciting possibilities across various applications.

Stability AI just released initial set of StableLM-alpha models, with 3B and 7B parameters. 15B and 30B models are on the way.

Base models are released under CC BY-SA-4.0.

StableLM-Alpha models are trained on the new dataset that build on The Pile, which contains 1.5 trillion tokens, roughly 3x the size of The Pile. These models will be trained on up to 1.5 trillion tokens. The context length for these models is 4096 tokens.

As a proof-of-concept, we also fine-tuned the model with Stanford Alpaca's procedure using a combination of five recent datasets for conversational agents: Stanford's Alpaca, Nomic-AI's gpt4all, RyokoAI's ShareGPT52K datasets, Databricks labs' Dolly, and Anthropic's HH. We will be releasing these models as StableLM-Tuned-Alpha.

Paper Review: Segment Anything

- 99% of masks are automatic, i.e. w/o labels;
- Main image encoder model is huge;
- To produce masks you need a prompt or a somewhat accurate bbox (partial bbox fails miserably);
- Trained on 128 / 256 GPUs;
- Most likely - useful a large scale data annotation tool;
- Not sure that it can be used in production as is, also license for the dataset is research only, the model is Apache 2.0

https://andlukyane.com//blog/paper-review-sam

Unless you have a very specific project (i.e. segment just one object type and you have some priors), this can serve as a decent pre-annotation tool.

This is nice, but probably it can offset 10-20% of CV annotation costs.

Rask — service for AI-supported video localization

TLDR: Service which allows to translate video end-to-end between languages.

Rask AI offers voice cloning capabilities to make your voice part of your brand, although it has a library of natural and human-like voices to choose from. They currently support the output of videos in the following languages: German, French, Spanish, Chinese, English, and Portuguese, regardless of the source language.

In the near future, a team plans to offer additional services such as captions and subtitles and increase the number of supported languages up to 60 languages.

They haven’t raised any funds for the current setup and currently are launched on the Product Hunt. You are welcome to support them via link below (we all know how important it is for founders, right?).

​​BloombergGPT: A Large Language Model for Finance

The realm of financial technology involves a wide range of NLP applications, such as sentiment analysis, named entity recognition, and question answering. Although Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated effectiveness in various tasks, no LLM specialized for the financial domain has been reported so far. This work introduces BloombergGPT, a 50-billion-parameter language model trained on an extensive range of financial data. The researchers have created a massive 363-billion-token dataset using Bloomberg's data sources, supplemented with 345 billion tokens from general-purpose datasets, potentially creating the largest domain-specific dataset to date.

BloombergGPT has been validated on standard LLM benchmarks, open financial benchmarks, and a suite of internal benchmarks that accurately reflect its intended usage. The mixed dataset training results in a model that significantly outperforms existing models on financial tasks without sacrificing performance on general LLM benchmarks. The paper also discusses modeling choices, training processes, and evaluation methodology. As a next step, the researchers plan to release training logs (Chronicles) detailing their experience in training BloombergGPT.
