In a new study published in the journal Social Neuroscience, researchers employed machine learning techniques to predict individual differences in narcissistic personality traits using distinct structural brain features. The study represents the first-ever attempt to harness machine learning for deciphering the neural underpinnings of narcissism.

Sentiment analysis, a dynamic process, extracts opinions, emotions, and attitudes from text. Its versatility spans numerous realms, but one shining application is marketing. Here, sentiment analysis becomes the compass guiding marketing campaigns. By deciphering customer responses, it measures campaign effectiveness. The insights gleaned from this process become invaluable ammunition for campaign enhancement, enabling precise targeting and ultimately yielding superior results.

Chatbots are the most widely adopted use case for leveraging the powerful chat and reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLM). The retrieval.
Speaker: Dr. Greg Loughnane and Chris Alexiuk
Technology professionals developing generative AI applications are finding that there are big leaps from POCs and MVPs to production-ready applications. They're often developing using prompting, Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), and fine-tuning (up to and including Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback (RLHF)), typically in that order. However, during development – and even more so once deployed to production – best practices for operating and improving generative AI applications are le

Transformers have become the dominant model in deep learning, but the reason for their superior performance is poorly understood. Here, we hypothesize that the strong performance of Transformers stems from an architectural bias towards mesa-optimization, a learned process running within the forward pass of a model consisting of the following two steps: (i) the construction of an internal learning objective, and (ii) its corresponding solution found through optimization.

Overconfidence is a prevalent problem and it is particularly consequential in its relation with scientific knowledge: being unaware of one’s own ignorance can affect behaviours and threaten public policies and health. However, it is not clear how confidence varies with knowledge. Here, we examine four large surveys, spanning 30 years in Europe and the United States and propose a new confidence metric.

High throughput serving of large language models (LLMs) requires batching sufficiently many requests at a time. However, existing systems struggle because the key-value cache (KV cache) memory for each request is huge and grows and shrinks dynamically. When managed inefficiently, this memory can be significantly wasted by fragmentation and redundant duplication, limiting the batch size.
