A New AI Research Introduces LoRAMoE: A Plugin Version of Mixture of Experts (Moe) for Maintaining World Knowledge in Language Model Alignment
Large Language Models (LLMs) require supervised fine-tuning (SFT) to match human instructions, which traditionally caused performance loss. Researchers from Fudan University and Hikvision Inc. propose a solution – LoRAMoE, a plugin version of Mixture of Experts, to maintain world knowledge in LLMs. The experiment proved LoRAMoE’s efficacy in preventing knowledge forgetting and enhancing multi-task learning.

LLMs improve when assuming gender-neutral or male roles
The University of Michigan researchers found that prompting Large Language Models (LLMs) with gender-neutral or male roles led to better responses. They experimented with different role prompts using open-source models and discovered that specifying roles can improve LLM performance, revealing biases towards gender-neutral or male roles over female roles. The study raises questions about prompt…

Complex, unfamiliar sentences make the brain’s language network work harder
MIT neuroscientists used an artificial language network to identify which sentences activate the brain’s language processing centers. They found that more complex or unusual sentences elicit stronger responses, while straightforward or nonsensical sentences barely engage these regions. The study suggests that linguistic properties such as surprisal and complexity influence brain activation. The research was funded…

Graph-Based Prompting and Reasoning with Language Models
Prompting techniques like chain of thought (CoT) and tree of thought (ToT) have drastically improved the problem-solving capabilities of large language models (LLMs). However, they assume linear reasoning, in contrast to the non-linear patterns characteristic of human reasoning. A new approach, called graph-of-thought reasoning (GOTR), models reasoning processes as a graph structure that captures non-sequential…
