Identifying Interactions at Scale for LLMs

Score 18

--> Understanding the behavior of complex machine learning systems, particularly Large Language Models (LLMs), is a critical challenge in modern artificial intelligence. Interpretability research aims to make the decision-making process mo...

Information-Driven Design of Imaging Systems

Score 12

An encoder (optical system) maps objects to noiseless images, which noise corrupts into measurements. Our information estimator uses only these noisy measurements and a noise model to quantify how well measurements distinguish objects. Man...

What exactly does word2vec learn?

Score 14

What exactly does word2vec learn, and how? Answering this question amounts to understanding representation learning in a minimal yet interesting language modeling task. Despite the fact that word2vec is a well-known precursor to modern lan...

Defending against Prompt Injection with Structured Queries (StruQ) and Preference Optimization (SecAlign)

Score 10

Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) enable exciting LLM-integrated applications. However, as LLMs have improved, so have the attacks against them. Prompt injection attack is listed as the #1 threat by OWASP to LLM-integrated ap...

Repurposing Protein Folding Models for Generation with Latent Diffusion

Score 20

PLAID is a multimodal generative model that simultaneously generates protein 1D sequence and 3D structure, by learning the latent space of protein folding models. The awarding of the 2024 Nobel Prize to AlphaFold2 marks an important moment...

RL without TD learning

Score 4

In this post, I’ll introduce a reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm based on an “alternative” paradigm: divide and conquer. Unlike traditional methods, this algorithm is not based on temporal difference (TD) learning (which has scalabilit...
