This post is divided into three parts; they are: • Fine-tuning DistilBERT for Custom Q&A • Dataset and Preprocessing • Running the Training The simplest way to use a model in the transformers library is to create a pipeline, which hides many details about how to interact with it.
Retrieval augmented generation (RAG) encompasses a family of systems that extend conventional language models , large and otherwise (LLMs), to incorporate context based on retrieved knowledge from a document base, thereby leading to more truthful and relevant responses being generated upon user queries.
We consider the problem of instance-optimal statistical estimation under the constraint of differential privacy where mechanisms must adapt to the difficulty of the input dataset. We prove a new instance specific lower bound using a new divergence and show it characterizes the local minimax optimal rates for private statistical estimation. We propose two new mechanisms …

Leading scientists at the National Institutes of Health, the US’s leading medical research agency, were swept up Tuesday in the Trump administration’s latest firing blitz.
Can we really trust AI to make better decisions than humans? A new study says … not always. Researchers have discovered that OpenAI’s ChatGPT, one of the most advanced and popular AI models, makes the same kinds of decision-making mistakes as humans in some situations—showing biases like overconfidence of hot-hand (gambler’s) fallacy—yet acting inhuman in …
I’ve been developing this illustrious merge for a while, I’ve finally reached a spot where I’m happy with the results. This is my 15th version of it and the second one released to the public. It’s an illustrious merged checkpoint with many of my styles built straight into the checkpoint. It managed to retain knowledge …

Vibe coding and AI-assisted development are two trendy terms in today’s tech jargon.
This post is divided into three parts; they are: • Using DistilBERT Model for Question Answering • Evaluating the Answer • Other Techniques for Improving the Q&A Capability BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) was trained to be a general-purpose language model that can understand text.
