Rotary Position Embeddings for Long Context Length

This article is divided into two parts; they are: • Simple RoPE • RoPE for Long Context Length Compared to the sinusoidal position embeddings in the original Transformer paper, RoPE mutates the input tensor using a rotation matrix: $$ begin{aligned} X_{n,i} &= X_{n,i} cos(ntheta_i) – X_{n,frac{d}{2}+i} sin(ntheta_i) \ X_{n,frac{d}{2}+i} &= X_{n,i} sin(ntheta_i) + X_{n,frac{d}{2}+i} cos(ntheta_i) …

A new tool is revealing the invisible networks inside cancer

Spanish researchers have created a powerful new open-source tool that helps uncover the hidden genetic networks driving cancer. Called RNACOREX, the software can analyze thousands of molecular interactions at once, revealing how genes communicate inside tumors and how those signals relate to patient survival. Tested across 13 different cancer types using international data, the tool …

BED-LLM: Intelligent Information Gathering with LLMs and Bayesian Experimental Design

We propose a general-purpose approach for improving the ability of Large Language Models (LLMs) to intelligently and adaptively gather information from a user or other external source using the framework of sequential Bayesian experimental design (BED). This enables LLMs to act as effective multi-turn conversational agents and interactively interface with external environments. Our approach, which …

A New Era of Defense Innovation

Leading the Charge on Procurement Reform America’s defense industrial base stands on the precipice of massive, historic change. Given its access to a flourishing and dynamic private sector, the US defense industrial base should be a nimble, powerful engine of both creativity and lethality, capable of churning out the kinds of innovations that guarantee dominance …
