How far can we scale up? Deep Learning's Diminishing Returns (Article Review) 04.10.2021

#deeplearning #co2 #cost Deep Learning has achieved impressive results in the last years, not least due to the massive increases in computational power and data that has gone into these models. Scaling up currently promises to be a reliable way to create more performant systems, but how far can we go? This article explores the limits of exponential scaling in AI, and what people are doing to get a...

Inconsistency in Conference Peer Review: Revisiting the 2014 NeurIPS Experiment (Paper Explained) 30.09.2021

#neurips #peerreview #nips The peer-review system at Machine Learning conferences has come under much criticism over the last years. One major driver was the infamous 2014 NeurIPS experiment, where a subset of papers were given to two different sets of reviewers. This experiment showed that only about half of all accepted papers were consistently accepted by both committees and demonstrated signif...

Does GPT-3 lie? - Misinformation and fear-mongering around the TruthfulQA dataset 24.09.2021

#gpt-3 #truth #conspiracy A new benchmark paper has created quite an uproar in the community. TruthfulQA is a dataset of 817 questions probing for imitative falsehoods where language models become less truthful, the larger they get. This surprising counter-intuitive finding validates many people's criticisms of large language models, but is it really the correct conclusion? OUTLINE: 0:00 - Intro 0...

Topographic VAEs learn Equivariant Capsules (Machine Learning Research Paper Explained) 21.09.2021

#tvae #topographic #equivariant Variational Autoencoders model the latent space as a set of independent Gaussian random variables, which the decoder maps to a data distribution. However, this independence is not always desired, for example when dealing with video sequences, we know that successive frames are heavily correlated. Thus, any latent space dealing with such data should reflect this in i...

∞-former: Infinite Memory Transformer (aka Infty-Former / Infinity-Former, Research Paper Explained) 06.09.2021

#inftyformer #infinityformer #transformer Vanilla Transformers are excellent sequence models, but suffer from very harsch constraints on the length of the sequences they can process. Several attempts have been made to extend the Transformer's sequence length, but few have successfully gone beyond a constant factor improvement. This paper presents a method, based on continuous attention mechanisms,...

ALiBi - Train Short, Test Long: Attention with linear biases enables input length extrapolation 05.09.2021

#alibi #transformers #attention Transformers are essentially set models that need additional inputs to make sense of sequence data. The most widespread additional inputs are position encodings or position embeddings, which add sequence index information in various forms. However, this has put a limit on the resulting model, which cannot run inference on sequences longer than it has been trained on...

Fastformer: Additive Attention Can Be All You Need (Machine Learning Research Paper Explained) 27.08.2021

#attention #transformer #fastformer Transformers have become the dominant model class in the last few years for large data, but their quadratic complexity in terms of sequence length has plagued them until now. Fastformer claims to be the fastest and most performant linear attention variant, able to consume long contexts at once. This is achieved by a combination of additive attention and elementw...

PonderNet: Learning to Ponder (Machine Learning Research Paper Explained) 23.08.2021

#pondernet #deepmind #machinelearning Humans don't spend the same amount of mental effort on all problems equally. Instead, we respond quickly to easy tasks, and we take our time to deliberate hard tasks. DeepMind's PonderNet attempts to achieve the same by dynamically deciding how many computation steps to allocate to any single input sample. This is done via a recurrent architecture and a traina...
