The Gory Details of Finetuning SDXL and Wasting $16k

Details on how the big diffusion model finetunes are trained is scarce, so just like with version 1, and version 2 of my model bigASP, I’m sharing all the details here to help the community. However, unlike those versions, this version is an experimental side project. And a tumultuous one at that. I’ve kept this …

On Information Geometry and Iterative Optimization in Model Compression: Operator Factorization

The ever-increasing parameter counts of deep learning models necessitate effective compression techniques for deployment on resource-constrained devices. This paper explores the application of information geometry, the study of density-induced metrics on parameter spaces, to analyze existing methods within the space of model compression, primarily focusing on operator factorization. Adopting this perspective highlights the core challenge: …

Build an AI-powered automated summarization system with Amazon Bedrock and Amazon Transcribe using Terraform

Extracting meaningful insights from unstructured data presents significant challenges for many organizations. Meeting recordings, customer interactions, and interviews contain invaluable business intelligence that remains largely inaccessible due to the prohibitive time and resource costs of manual review. Organizations frequently struggle to efficiently capture and use key information from these interactions, resulting in not only productivity …
