Shape your model performance using LLM parameters. Imagine you have a super-smart computer program. You type something into it, like a question or a sentence, and you want it to guess what words should come next. This program doesn’t just guess randomly; it’s like a detective that looks at all the possibilities and says, “Hmm, these words are more likely to come next.” It makes an extensive list of words and says, “Here are all the possible words that could come nex

Large Language Models (LLMs) have made substantial progress in the past several months, shattering state-of-the-art benchmarks in many domains. This paper investigates LLMs' behavior with respect to gender stereotypes, a known stumbling block for prior models. We propose a simple paradigm to test the presence of gender bias, building on but differing from WinoBias, a commonly used gender bias dataset which is likely to be included in the training data of current LLMs.

We propose Dataset Reinforcement, a strategy to improve a dataset once such that the accuracy of any model architecture trained on the reinforced dataset is improved at no additional training cost for users. We propose a Dataset Reinforcement strategy based on data augmentation and knowledge distillation. Our generic strategy is designed based on extensive analysis across CNN- and transformer-based models and performing large-scale study of distillation with state-of-the-art models with various

Start-ups & SMBs launching products quickly must bundle dashboards, reports, & self-service analytics into apps. Customers expect rapid value from your product (time-to-value), data security, and access to advanced capabilities. Traditional Business Intelligence (BI) tools can provide valuable data analysis capabilities, but they have a barrier to entry that can stop small and midsize businesses from capitalizing on them.

We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.

If you ever tried to learn how the Harris corner detection algorithm works, you might have noticed that the process is not intuitive at all. First, you start with an energy function, approximate it using Taylor approximation, get a matrix from that, then find the eigenvalues of that matrix, etc. But when you come to the final implementation, it is rather simple and seems easier.
