Koala: A Dialogue Model for Academic Research

In this post, we introduce Koala, a chatbot trained by fine-tuning Meta’s LLaMA on dialogue data gathered from the web. We describe the dataset curation and training process of our model, and also present the results of a user study that compares our model to ChatGPT and Stanford’s Alpaca. Our results show that Koala can …

TRACT: Denoising Diffusion Models with Transitive Closure Time-Distillation

Denoising Diffusion models have demonstrated their proficiency for generative sampling. However, generating good samples often requires many iterations. Consequently, techniques such as binary time-distillation (BTD) have been proposed to reduce the number of network calls for a fixed architecture. In this paper, we introduce TRAnsitive Closure Time-distillation (TRACT), a new method that extends BTD. For …

Generate a counterfactual analysis of corn response to nitrogen with Amazon SageMaker JumpStart solutions

In his book The Book of Why, Judea Pearl advocates for teaching cause and effect principles to machines in order to enhance their intelligence. The accomplishments of deep learning are essentially just a type of curve fitting, whereas causality could be used to uncover interactions between the systems of the world under various constraints without …

Vertex AI Experiments Autologging

How you can automate ML experiment tracking with Vertex AI Experiments autologging

Practical machine learning (ML) is a trial and error process. ML practitioners compare different performance metrics by running ML experiments till you find the best model with a given set of parameters. Because of the experimental nature of ML, there are many reasons for tracking ML experiments and making them reproducible including debugging and compliance.  …
