Researchers at Microsoft have proposed a deep learning compiler called Permutation Invariant Transformation (PIT) to optimize models for dynamic sparsity. PIT leverages a mathematically proven property to consolidate sparsely located micro-tiles into dense tiles without changing computation results. The solution accelerates dynamic sparsity computation by up to 5.9 times compared to state-of-the-art compilers and offers…

Researchers from McMaster University and FAIR Meta have developed a new machine learning technique called orbital-free density functional theory (OF-DFT) for accurately replicating electronic density in chemical systems. The method utilizes a normalizing flow ansatz to optimize the total energy function and solve complex problems. This approach shows promise for accurately describing electronic density and…

Lookahead decoding is a novel technique that improves the speed and efficiency of autoregressive decoding in large language models (LLMs) like GPT-4 and LLaMA. It eliminates the need for preliminary models and reduces the number of decoding steps by utilizing parallel processing. The technique has been shown to significantly decrease latency in LLM applications like…

UltraFastBERT, developed by researchers at ETH Zurich, is a modified version of BERT that achieves efficient language modeling with only 0.3% of its neurons during inference. The model utilizes fast feedforward networks (FFFs) and achieves significant speedups, with CPU and PyTorch implementations yielding 78x and 40x speedups respectively. The study suggests further acceleration through hybrid…

A novel technique allows an AI agent to use data crowdsourced from nonexpert human users to learn and complete tasks through reinforcement learning. This approach trains the robot more efficiently and effectively compared to other methods.

Children in the UK are using AI image generators to create indecent images of other children, according to the UK Safer Internet Centre (UKSIC). The charity has highlighted the need for immediate action to prevent the problem from spreading. The creation, possession, and distribution of such images is illegal in the UK, regardless of whether…

Merriam-Webster has chosen “authentic” as its Word of the Year for 2023 due to its increased relevance in the face of fake content and deep fakes. The word has multiple meanings, including being genuine and conforming to fact. This decision reflects the current crisis of authenticity in a world where trust is challenged by the…
