System 2 Attention improves accuracy of LLM responses
Meta has proposed a new approach called System 2 Attention (S2A) to address the issue of bias and irrelevant context in large language models (LLMs). S2A uses natural language processing to refine the original prompt, stripping out bias and irrelevant information before generating a response. The results show impressive improvements in accuracy, particularly in factual…
