Jean-Paul Thorbjornsen is a leader of THORChain, a blockchain that is not supposed to have any leaders--and is reeling from a series of expensive controversies. We can do whatever we want," Jean-Paul Thorbjornsen tells me from the pilot's seat of his Aston Martin helicopter. As we fly over suburbs outside Melbourne, Australia, it's becoming clear that doing whatever he wants is Thorbjornsen's MO. Upper-middle-class homes give way to vineyards, and Thorbjornsen points out our landing spot outside a winery. "They're going to ask for a shot now," he says, used to the attention drawn by his luxury helicopter, emblazoned with the tail letters "BTC" for bitcoin (the price tag of $5 million in Australian dollars--$3.5 million in US dollars today--was perhaps reasonable for someone who claims a previous crypto project made more than AU$400 million, although he also says those funds were tied up in the company). Thorbjornsen is a founder of THORChain, a blockchain through which users can swap ...

In this section, we expand on our observation that similarity between training samples is not binary. Consider the images shown in Figure 6. As a consequence, any similarity between the anchor image and the so-called'negative' examples is completely ignored. Further, all'positive' examples are considered to be The batch size is set to 16000. We train on 4 A100 GPUs.

The learnt models in the latter domain can then be used for a diverse set of tasks in a zero-shot way, similar to "Contrastive Language-Image

Obtaining human-interpretable explanations of large, general-purpose language models is an urgent goal for AI safety.

Large language models (LLMs), typically designed as a function of next-word prediction, have excelled across extensive NLP tasks. Despite the generality, next-word prediction is often not an efficient formulation for many of the tasks, demanding an extreme scale of model parameters (10s or 100s of billions) and sometimes yielding suboptimal performance. In practice, it is often desirable to build more efficient models--despite being less versatile, they still apply to a substantial subset of problems, delivering on par or even superior performance with much smaller model sizes.

In this work, we aim to advance our understanding by presenting a straightforward and fundamental explanation from the data perspective. Our preliminary investigation reveals a strong correlation between the degeneration issue and the presence of repetitions in training data. Subsequent experiments also demonstrate that by selectively dropping out the attention to repetitive words in training data, degeneration can be significantly minimized.

Limitations One limitation of our model is its potential for data bias. This could limit the applications of the model. MLLMs could be used to create fake news articles or social media posts.

A big convergence of language, multimodal perception, action, and world modeling is a key step toward artificial general intelligence.
