This paper was accepted at the 5th Workshop on Gender Bias in Natural Language Processing 2024. Machine translation (MT) systems often translate terms with ambiguous gender (e.g., English term “the nurse”) into the gendered form that is most prevalent in the systems’ training data (e.g., “enfermera”, the Spanish term for a female nurse). This often …

AI chatbots and virtual assistants have become increasingly popular in recent years thanks the breakthroughs of large language models (LLMs). Trained on a large volume of datasets, these models incorporate memory components in their architectural design, allowing them to understand and comprehend textual context. Most common use cases for chatbot assistants focus on a few …
Large language models are trained on massive scrapes of the web, which are often unstructured, noisy, and poorly phrased. Current scaling laws show that learning from such data requires an abundance of both compute and data, which grows with the size of the model being trained. This is infeasible both because of the large compute …

With last month’s blog, I started a series of posts that highlight the key factors that are driving customers to choose Amazon Bedrock. I explored how Bedrock enables customers to build a secure, compliant foundation for generative AI applications. Now I’d like to turn to a slightly more technical, but equally important differentiator for Bedrock—the …

Among application developers, LangChain is one of the most popular open-source LLM orchestration frameworks. To help developers use LangChain to create context-aware gen AI applications with Google Cloud databases, in March we open-sourced LangChain integrations for all of our Google Cloud databases including Vector stores, Document loaders, and Chat message history. And now, we’re excited …

This paper was accepted at IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages and Human-Centric Computing (VL/HCC) 2024 Programmers frequently engage with machine learning tutorials in computational notebooks and have been adopting code generation technologies based on large language models (LLMs). However, they encounter difficulties in understanding and working with code produced by LLMs. To mitigate these challenges, …
